THE FRED EAGLESMITH

CONCERT IS NOW

SOLD OUT!

thanks for your support

FRED EAGLESMITH

Traveling Show Featuring

the Fabulous Ginn Sisters

We’re thrilled to welcome back the fantastic Canadian alt-country singer/songwriter Fred Eaglesmith. Like Deadheads and Parrotheads, “Fredheads” dig his tales of tried-but-true blue-collar guys, tired cowboys, bare-knuckled farmers, heartbreakingly good women, beautifully bad women, lonesome good guys, bravura bad guys and Friday-night criminals. There are other songwriters who populate their creations with small-time crooks, small-town loners, and working-class heroes. But Fred Eaglesmith's songs stand out for their edge of desperation and their raucous yet bemused humor - and for the incredible energy and on-the-edge quality of his live shows.

A Fred Eaglesmith gig is more than a concert, it’s a show, a stand-up comedy routine, a traveling carnival and a good old fashioned honky tonk all rolled into one! He’s Willie Nelson meets Warren Zevon, Mark Twain meets Hunter S. Thompson and the warm humor of John Prine marinated in Neil Young.

Fred is coming to town with a brand new album, "6 Volts." It's pure Fred, and this is going to be a great evening at Studio E!

THAD BECKMAN

8:00 concert (7:30 doors)

at STUDIO E

(directions supplied with tickets)

$22

We heard Thad Beckman accompany Tom Russell in October 2011 and were blown away by him and couldn't wait to book a night of just Thad.

The dust-filled wind sweeps steadily down and across the flat, arid plains of Woody Guthrie's America. Beginning many hundreds of miles from Portland, Oregon it carries with it the hopes and dreams of those who have gone before . . . the dreamers and seekers. It whispers a birthright to the singular voice of a modern compatriot-in-arms . . . singer/songwriter Thad Beckman.

A professional musician for more than 30 years, Thad Beckman has paid his dues on these same dusty roads which run from California to New Jersey and points in between. His finely-crafted original songs are the story of life, the voice of modern America . . .from the growling delta blues of the Deep South to evocative contemporary folk. . .bound by the common thread of experience learned from the road. You can hear it in his voice . . .he's been there.

"Beckman plays an engaging blend of folk, singer-songwriter and blues music. Not everyone can pull off such a combination, but Beckman has chops, writing talent, a big personality and a bag full of true stories which all dovetail for a cool show.”  ~ Jim Beal, San Antonio Express-News

"With commanding yet understated vocals as strong as his finger-style guitar playing, Beckman crafts a compelling set.” ~ Tom Hyslop, Blues Review

$35

Cheryl Wheeler and Kenny White will be making their first appearance together at Studio E, yet it will be Cheryl's third time and Kenny's seventh.  Both Cheryl and Kenny are huge favorites of Schaef-Abel Productions, and it's a dream come true to have both at Studio E at the same time!

What is so special about their shows? CHERYL WHEELER is outrageously funny and can also deliver insightful and disarmingly poignant songs, as well. She accompanies herself on guitar and is a great observer of the world.  Only Cheryl could write the hilarious ditty about potatoes and estate sales, which combines humor and insight in a look at weekend phenomena of looking through the lives of the departed. On the more serious side is the most beautiful love song ever, "Arrow." She has a treasure chest of music, and there's no way of knowing which songs she will share.

New York songwriter/pianist KENNY WHITE is often described as one of the most famous people nobody knows.  A highly successful producer, arranger and performer of music for advertising, major motion pictures and top recording artists, Kenny abandoned his luxurious lifestyle to go on the road performing his songs and dazzling his audiences with his piano playing.

Kenny White is a savvy singer/songwriter/piano player/guitarist who does a great job of backing Cheryl and presenting his own set of songs. He's amazing on the keyboards and his songs are thoughtful Technicolor descriptions, involving vivid details with twists and turns from his brilliant mind.

Cheryl Wheeler and Kenny White seem like psychic siblings, enjoying the banter and spontaneity of playing off each other's comments and whatnot.  Their deep friendship is obvious and it is always a privilege to be in the presence of it.

Saturday, April 14, 2012

8:00 concert (7:30 doors)

at STUDIO E

(directions supplied with tickets)

$22

Hailing from Van Nuys, California, but equally at home anywhere under the western sky, well-travelled California folk favorites FUR DIXON AND STEVE WERNER will take you on a rollicking musical joyride through the back roads and highways of the American West.

Some may remember Fur from her days with The Cramps, or perhaps when Fur and Steve opened the show for Audrey Auld at Studio E in April of 2007, or when they headlined at Studio E in June of 2009.  Fur and Steve put on a great show and we're looking forward to having them back to Studio E.

"If you want to hear simple little love songs, then don't go anywhere near RIC TAYLOR . If you want to hear a songwriter who plays with words like Rubic played with his cube, then Ric is your guy."
