Jonathan Byrd and Corin Raymond perform at the Duncan Showroom on April 15.
Tickets are $20 in advance at http://www.showroomproductions.ca/buy-tickets and $25 at the door.
Jonathan Byrd is a preacher's son, a Gulf War veteran, and a Kerrville New Folk award winner from seven generations of North Carolinians. A Jonathan Byrd show is musical theater, bringing together the Texas songwriting tradition with southern storytelling and hot guitar picking in the line of North Carolina greats Doc Watson and Tony Rice. A stalwart of modern folk music, Byrd has released five solo albums with a surprising variety of musical directions, and an acoustic collaboration with fellow songwriter Diana Jones. "One of the top 50 songwriters of the past 50 years." - Chicago Tribune. http://www.jonathanbyrd.com/
Corin Raymond is a singer-songwriter in the style of Johnny Cash who draws comparisons to John Prine. Like Cash, Raymond is a troubadour whose robust veracity connects with older folks and children alike. As with Prine, Raymond’s material appeals to other writers as much as to his fans. His songs are covered by Dustin Bentall, The Good Lovelies, The Strumbellas, The Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer, and a far flung community of roots musicians and enthusiasts. Raymond’s songs, which are slightly apocalyptic and suggest criminal activity, make singing along easy. They have the common touch. Judges quote from his lyrics when handing sentences down. Truckers cry. He has the words you’ve been looking for.
