Spider John Koerner w/ Elizabeth Butters

Doors 7:45, Concert 8:00

Suggested minimum donation $15

"SPIDER" JOHN KOERNER has been an influential practitioner of traditional folk music and country blues since the days of the late-'50s/early-'60s folk revival. Both in his group, Koerner, Ray & Glover, and on his own, he has helped popularize early folk and blues music through his performances and recordings, directly affecting the careers of Bob Dylan and Bonnie Raitt, and influencing many others.

ELIZABETH BUTTERS doesn't feel like she fits in this time period. Her answer to this quandary is an aesthetic and aural leap backward—not to the '90s, or the '80s, but much, much farther. Butters says that she identifies most strongly with the 1930s, when Ford Model T's still rumbled and paved roads were at a premium.

Current location is not meant to be about the content of the post, it's meant to be a way of indicating where the person is when writing the post (for example, "home", "work", "sister's house", "on a train", etc.) Posts about events are definitely much more helpful when they include the location of the event.

P.S. d'oh, wish I'd seen this earlier, I really like Spider John Koerner, but looks like I missed the show :(
