"Brad Parsons is a triple threat as a performer, writer and multi-instrumentalist. He is a powerful entertainer who can take a crowd for a ride, from hootin’ and hollerin’ to the brink of tears with his powerful delivery and leave it all up on the stage. He is an outstanding songwriter who crafts lyrics in a thoughtful and eloquent way allowing songs to resonate long after the music stops.
Saturday, Sept. 2, Marty O'Reilly w/ Calvin Arsenia (Ticketed Show)
Marty O’Reilly
"Explaining Marty O’Reilly’s music is like describing a dream. It feels familiar, but at the same time unchartered. His songs sound bluesy but not blues, folk but not folk, soulful but not soul. Marty’s voice is beautiful and unique, his lyrics stark yet lush over gritty electrified guitar, melding beautifully into genre-defying music within the vast definitions of Americana.” Tickets at: https://www.tickettomato.com/event/8027
