Upcoming Concert:
Jimmy Lafave
One show only
Wednesday, November 3rd at 7:00pm
$25 (+ $1 licensing fee) in advance / $31 week prior
Red House recording artist, "LaFave is nothing if not a red-dirt romantic. Viewing the world from an open road and an open heart, with one eye on the girl and the other on the mythological lure of the highway. First it was Woody Guthrie and then Jack Kerouac, now it's LaFave and his brand of dirty-boots folk-rock... Jimmy has the most expressive voice this side of Belfast... it's the music of Jimmy LaFave that really defines this part of the land." -- Oklahoma City Gazette
"LaFave's deceptively simple vocal delivery and rich voice present songs with an honesty and power that few other singers can match. His physical abilities are matched by his songwriting skills." --- Vintage Guitar Magazine
"One of the finest Dylan interpreters ever." --- Folkwax |
