Tom Paxton makes his return to The Stables this Thursday evening (January 19).
Tom has had a music career spanning more than 50 years. The five decades have seen the recording of many enduring songs, and thousands of live performances around the world, as well as a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award in 2009.
Celebrated amongst his peers and audiences alike, he is one of the most highly regarded, loved, and best known folk singer/songwriters of his generation.
With timeless classics such as; The Last Thing On My Mind, Bottle Of Wine, and Ramblin' Boy, he portrays through his songs and his famously generous nature a true desire for justice, and to bring people together.
Tom Paxton is a joyful treat, a revered figure in folk music, and a voice of his generation. Support is coming from special guests Cathy & Marcy.
Popa Chubby, it's a great name, don't you think? And his ability on the guitar is every bit as awesome.
The New Yorker has been hard rocking the blues for more than a quarter of a century, with an outpouring he describes as 'the Stooges meets Buddy Guy, Motorhead meets Muddy Waters and Jimi Hendrix meets Robert Johnson.'
It's pretty special, as you can hear directly on his most recent opus, Catfish.
Featured numbers include the hardcore inspired ‘Motörhead Saved My Life’ when Popa tells the tale of how Lemmy gave a young man identity and meaning. Popa's personal favorite though, is an instrumental offering entitled ‘Blues For Charlie’. Ted Horowitz (to give Popa his 'other' name) wrote and recorded this after the two massacres endured by his beloved adopted second home Paris.
Take a chance on his show on Friday (Jan 20), and you'll return home smiling.
