MICHAEL TARBOX

Michael Tarbox is a smokey-voiced singer from Boston whose songs meld backwoods blues, gospel, and Appalachian sounds in exciting, unexpected combinations. His music has drawn raves from Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, The Washington Post and more. You may not have seen Tarbox play before, but if youve ever watched Sons of Anarchy, which uses a bunch of his songs, its very likely youve heard him.

Tarbox is playing lots of electric guitar these days, which is great news, because his barbed-wire sound is a thing of wild beauty. His songs, perched somewhere between the primitive and poetic, are on speaking terms with the guiding ghosts of American music Pretty Polly, Black Jack Davey, Bessie Smith, John Hardy and Harry Smiths whole crazy pantheon of rogues and brokenhearted lovers. Tarbox has a white-lightning style that wont quit, and a juke-joint sound as soulful as the day is long. If you like your music raw and real, you dont wanna miss this show.

Chicken Tractor Econo will be opening the show!
