Date & Time
unday, February 24th, 3 P.M.
A return visit to our series by this much-acclaimed songwriter, guitarist, fiddler, pianist and painter whose live shows are rapidly becoming legendary as word travels through the acoustic music world. Joe Crookston’s live performances are multi-media celebrations of art and possibility with looped fiddle, video, slide guitar and songs. He’s a bard in the modern world plumbing for lyrical gold like a social archeologist. His story songs are universal, his slide playing infectious, and on stage he’s funny as hell one moment and transcendent the next.
His most recent album is Georgia I’m Here and all of his previous albums have received critical acclaim for both his brilliant original songs as well as his inspired covers of diverse songslike Supertramps’s “The Logical Song,” Bill Morrissey’s “Texas Blues” and Mary Gauthier’s “Mercy Now.” His 2008 recording, Able Baker Charlie & Dog, was awarded Album of the Year by Folk Alliance International where he was named 2016 Artist-In-Residence.
