Opening performance by soul singer Jason Walker. This powerhouse local singer opens the show with a sublime gospel infused set. His career that has taken him through the worlds of rock, gospel, classical, jazz, sacred music and opera.
Lucinda Williams. maneuvering down a path all her own for more than three decades is a true legend. Last year’s Down Where the Spirit Meets the Bone, which Pitchfork called “a career highlight,” only reaffirmed that Williams is one of America’s greatest storytellers — an articulate and rough singer-songwriter of fierce honesty and conviction. At the Bandshell, she’ll play a set that careens from stripped down acoustic ballads to rambling electrified country-blues stomps.
