Event
Bill Morrissey and Cliff Eberhardt
Tonight we welcome back to the stage two of the era's finest singer-songwriters, who just happen to be old friends and admirers of one another's work.
Bill Morrissey's lyrical gifts and graceful, understated melodies have won him two Grammy nominations and put him on stages across the world. With songs influenced by Mississippi John Hurt, Hank Williams and Bob Dylan, Morrissey captures the harshness and small sadnesses of his characters, but tempers it all with wry humor that often leaves his live audiences in stitches.
Cliff Eberhardt has been called the missing link between Paul McCartney and Cole Porter. (Seth Rogovoy) His guitar and piano melodies range from pop to folk to old-style jazz, with lyrics that find fresh, incisive ways to address the familiar themes of life gone good and bad. From melancholy to sweet optimism, Cliffs songs are the product of a mature and tested performer with the highest level of craftsmanship.
As we have with our other Decade Concerts, we will open the evening with an onstage interview of the performers conducted by Michael Eck. A taped copy will be sent to the New England Folk Music Archives as part of their ongoing documentation of the Northeasts folk scene.
