Alvin Youngblood Hart w/Valerie June opening
SteamPlant Event Center, 220 W. Sackett Ave, Salida, CO
Alvin Youngblood Hart: The Cosmic American Love Child Of Howlin Wolf and Link Wray! Known as a musician's musician, his praises have been sung by everyone from Bob Dylan to Brit guitar gods Eric Clapton & Mick Taylor. Since his 1996 debut recording, the all-acoustic BIG MAMA'S DOOR, Alvin Youngblood Hart has carried his musical message the world over. A devout follower of the "no barriers" approach laid by veteran performers like Gatemouth Brown and the late great Doug Sahm, Alvin continues to defy the so-called purists. http://www.mojomusic.com/alvin/
Valerie June: Hers is a twilight voice, a liquid silk from the heart of Tennessee. It is tailor-made for lullabies and lyric blues; and so, for that matter is Valerie June's spirit. For years June quietly built her brand in Memphis, where magnetic Southern charm and stunning stage presence earned her a feature spot on MTV web series $5 Cover. But no reality show could capture the true reality of this talent: a self-taught guitarist, banjoist and songwriter, June has crafted a sound that draws on the best of southern traditions. http://www.valeriejune.com/ Doors 6:30, music starts at 7:30 (Valerie June 7:30, Alvin Youngblood Hart 8:30) tickets: KRCC members-limited tickets at $15 (must purchase through KRCC, 912 N.
