An Evening with Eric Noden & Joe Filisko
Eric Noden and Joe Filisko are a blues-singing, guitar-picking, harmonica-tootin', song-writing duo with an international audience and appeal. Their latest CD, titled "I.C. Special," features 15 original songs representing branches of American roots music. Just look at their photo: these guys mean business!
Eric Noden sings, shouts and stomps while conjuring old spirits from the strings of his acoustic guitar. His right thumb often lays down a driving bass figure that weaves around the intricate melodic lines played with his fingers. (Yes, he has thumbs and fingers on both hands!) This style, favored by noted early bluesmen, is difficult to capture and thus rarely used by modern guitar players. Eric is known as a performer, historian, and teacher of early blues music. Varying his approach from song to song, Eric draws from a deep well of American music that fuels his high-energy performing style.
Joe Filisko can make his harp cry, flutter, sing, or sound like a train, creating soaring melodies and driving percussive rhythms. (And like Eric, thumbs and fingers, both hands.) He is known around the world as a player, historian, and customizer of his often-misunderstood instrument. Joe's customized Marine Band harmonicas have been played by world-renowned artists the likes of Charlie Musselwhite, Kim Wilson, and others. Besides his recordings with Eric, Joe has released a CD of classic harmonica material titled "The History of Blues Harmonica." His harmonica might loook like yours...but we bet it sounds better.
Their appearance on our stage is a big deal for Hogeye...and an even bigger one for you!
