Pete Huttlinger

 

“In Pete Huttlinger’s hands, a fingerpicked flat-top becomes a mini orchestra. He juggles it all: a tune’s melody, harmony and bass lines—even percussion. His playing is fun, scary and always inspiring.”—Guitar Player Magazine Last year, Pete played one of the best and most fun concerts ever performed at RBNC. He had everyone singing along on “Take Me Home Country Roads” by the late John Denver with whom he toured as sideman for many years.
A Berklee College of Music graduate and National Fingerstyle Guitar Champion, he has appeared on the stages of BBC TV’s, Live From Abbey Road, The Tonight Show, Carnegie Hall and The Royal Albert Hall as Leann Rimes accompanist and solo opening act. Enjoy jaw-dropping guitar chops and infectious humor from this complete entertainer who lives on the road from Nashville to Milan, Italy.
Tunes from his CDs, The Santa Rita Connection, Naked Pop, Things Are Looking Up and Fingerpicking Wonder span the folk, pop, Celtic and jazz genres. An acoustic participant in Eric Clapton’s Crossroad Guitar Festival, he will wow you with his versions of Sting’s “Fields of Gold,” Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition,” Steely Dan’s “Josie,” Gershwin’s “I Got Rhythm” and his own “Oklahoma Twilight,” “Goodbye Chester” and “A Ride In the Country.”

7:30PM -- $18.00 Adv / $20.00 Door

Harvey Reid

This will be Reid's first area concert in a year, and the Nature Center is a stellar place to hear acoustic music. (Reid's shows have been quite full there in recent years, so if you are thinking of going, make a reservation) Expect his usual mix of thoughtful originals, rocking & traditional songs & dazzling instrumentals on acoustic & slide guitars & autoharp. He has recently released his 22nd CD.

7:30PM -- $15.00 Adv/$17 Door

Eliza Gilkyson

Welcome back the wonderful voice and superb songwriting of Eliza Gilkyson who performs songs from her brilliant 2008 release, Beautiful World and previous recordings Lost and Found, Hard Times in Babylon and Land of Milk and Honey which was Grammy-nominated in 2004 for Best Contemporary Folk Album.

She has been featured on NPR’s All Things Considered and Austin City Limits. All of Eliza’s previous Roaring Brook shows have been artistically stunning. Few songwriters approach her ability to capture the complexity of relationships and comment on the joys, hopes and consequences of living in our world.

She’ll entertain us with song favorites “Runaway Train,” “Tender Mercies,” “Great Correction” and “Beautiful World.”
“Edgy lyrics with poetic imagination—Gilkyson is making folk music for the 21st century and it is a delightful thing to hear.”—Austin Chronicle
