Al Scorch House Concert

Roots Hoot House Concerts presents a special Friday evening, BYOB-only show featuring newest Bloodshot Records signee Al Scorch. The Chicago-based Scorch's Bloodshot debut will hit the streets in May. This show will afford the opportunity to check out his high octane brand of music on guitar and banjo accompanied for this tour by a fiddle player. Scorchs music and lyrics straddle the line between bone-chilling, literary testimonials and boisterous, revival tent revelry. There are elements of bluegrass and country throughout, at times evinced by his breakneck clawhammer banjo technique and poignant acoustic guitar takes. Balancing wedges of punk, old-time string band, American and European folk, and soulful balladry, Scorch is an entertainer, DIY road warrior, storyteller, and one hell of a musician. It is a BYOB-only show. Doors at 7 pm and music starts at 7:30 pm.
