Event
Ryan Lee Crosby and Friends
(Buy tickets online for $15+fees until 4:00 p.m.the night of the show. Tickets are $20 at the door)
Ryan Lee Crosbys music captures the timeless power of music from the Mississippi Delta, refracted by influences of Hindustani slide guitar and his own unique approach to the style. The finger style guitar maven, songwriter and powerfully emotional performer blends echoes of traditional music from Mississippi, Mali, and Indian into compelling songs that speak from and to the heart.
Crosbys earliest influences were Iggy Pop, John Lee Hooker, the Velvet Underground, and the Ramones, and he began playing guitar in bands when he was 14, after having the instrument for only a week. The spirit of throwing yourself into whatever speaks to you has always been at the heart of how I engage in music and meaning, he says. Crosby moved to Boston in the mid-90s, where he founded and fronted the Joy Division-inspired rock band Cancer to the Stars. But by the early 2000s, the sound and sensibility of deep blues began to permeate his musical character, until it took over. Since then, he has released nine LPs, singles, and cassettes, and undertaken a series of European and U.S. tours.
Ryan will be joined by 3 bandmates--Ilana Katz Katz on fiddle, Jay Scheffler on harmonica, and Grant Smith perussion.
