We are excited to welcome Joe Crookston for a live concert on Saturday, December 7th. Doors open at 7pm and show will begin at 8pm.
Joe Crookston is a songwriter, guitarist, fiddler and slide player based in Ithaca, New York. He has been named 2016 Folk Alliance International Artist-in-residence and has been signed with "I Book Shows" alongside David Francey and Irish Mythen.
Come to a show. Mystical, historical, and humorous roads. Lyrical cinematography. Short 4:00 films. Visual, artful and human. Brooklyn in July, Oklahoma towns, rattlesnake tails, turbary thieves, Galway heather, meter maids and drunk roosters. At the end of the night, you’ll leave inspired.
THERE IS A LONG NOTE & JOE IS REACHING FOR IT
“The Long Note” is a phrase in Irish culture. “The Long Note” is that place of resonance and transcendence where the music, the voices, the instruments, and the community ALL come together and unite.
Whether he’s picking his 48 Gibson, weaving through lap slide songs or looping his fiddle, he will draw you in. It happens every time. Watch a YouTube video. It’s good, but it’s not the same. You gotta come to a show. With unwavering courage to be himself, he is literate, poignant and funny as hell.
He lives in Ithaca NY, and tours regularly in the US, Ireland and Canada.
Tickets available on Eventbrite.
