Verlon Thompson and Will Kimbrough
Susan and I are very happy to announce that Verlon Thompson and Will Kimbrough will coming to Music Under the Moss this fall. October 30, 2010 to be exact.
Months ago, we held an online poll that asked people to vote for their favorite artists we have had over the years. Without your knowledge, we approached the three artists that received the most votes (Verlon, Will and Amber). Our goal was to have all three play on one night. Well, logistics always ruin a good idea, and Amber was not going to be able to make it. Verlon and Will though were able to make it.
I won't be lengthy describing either artist since both
have been here before...
Will Kimbrough came to our house in October of 2007 (click here for that recap). His mixture of folk, Americana and rock 'n roll made for an amazing evening of music. He was recently seen on stage as a guitarist for Jimmy Buffet in front of 35,000 people and many more watching on television. He's also a regular guitarist for Rodney Crowell. Finally, he's been nominated for the 2010 Instrumentalist of the Year by the Americana Music Association. He's up against Buddy Miller, Dave Rawlings and Sam Bush this year...fine company to have (btw, Will won the award in 2004). He's an amazing singer-songwriter that should not be missed.
Verlon
Thompson has already been to our house twice (March
2006 and
March 2007). He holds a special place in our heart, and his
folk/country tunes will do the same to you in just one evening.
He's long been known as the "hired gun" guitarist for Guy Clark, but
he's a very accomplished writer himself. Additionally, he
previously received a Grammy nomination as a producer of Guy Clark's
"Workbench Songs" album. We cannot wait to have him here for a
third time.
Both will play for an hour, and it's going to be a great celebration of all the great music we have hosted over the last six years. We will start promotions for the show in August, so make sure you are on our email list.
We can't wait!
