1)
Because the Folk/Roots community does indeed
extend far beyond the Northeast. And tonight, Zach Schmidt of Nashville by way
of Pennsylvania joins our little show to prove that.
2)
Because playing multiple instruments is amazing…and
if you can sing beautifully and write great songs on top of that, it makes you
worth seeing. Eva Walsh has that on lock down for us.
3)
Because good songs still matter. Ian Fitzgerald
is playing…that’s all you need to know.
4)
Because country influenced music is spelled with
an “O” in it. James Maples may not be solely country, but his roots are deep in
the good stuff.
5)
Because when two bluegrass powerhouses from
great bands in town collide, there is no telling what happens. Hot bluegrass
from Maggie Mackay and Mark Kilianski is a good, good thing.
6)
And then when one of them combines with the
forces of another one of the town’s best flatpickers…honestly, I am afraid that
my brain may melt in my head. Andy Cambria will join Mark Kilianski to pick out
a few and blow your mind.
7)
Because we have our own talent reminiscent of
Punch Brothers here in town, melding beautiful harmonies, killer licks, thoughtful
arrangments and great songs. The Whiskey Boys are a force of nature.
8)
Because to really close out a great night of music
you need a rock star pounding the hell out of an acoustic guitar. We got that,
and we have got Joe Fletcher doing it for you.
9)
Because you never know who is going to show up
and sit in for a few.
10)
And most importantly, because local music
matters. Come on down and support it.
I really hope to see you all out at the Lizard Lounge on February 25th!
