Jalan Crossland in Concert March 5 & 6, 2010 Dahl Members $12
|
Jalan Crossland is widely acclaimed by
audiences, critics and his musical peers as being among the country's
premier acoustic guitarists. Along with dozens of regional contest
awards, his extraordinary guitar-playing has earned runner-up, National
Fingerpick Championship honors in 1997 and the State Championship title
in his home state of Wyoming in 1999. He is a talented vocalist, banjo
picker, songwriter and an engaging showman.
Growing up and living among the colorful
and independent folks of small-town Wyoming, there is no shortage of fun
song-fodder. In between songs, the music is garnished with reflections
on rural livin', delivered with honest, homespun charm and deadpan wit.
His unique blend of traditional Americana and cutting-edge acoustic
sounds can be heard on his CDs available at
www.jalancrossland.com. Singer/songwriter Matthew Fox will warm up with band before Jalan performs. Mat is a guitarist and songwriter whose Georgia and Texas roots run deep. He has steeped himself in a variety of styles from acoustic blues to swing and his acclaimed originals are rooted in the great Texas story-song tradition. Matthew has appeared on stages, radio programs and at workshops throughout the US, UK and Scandinavia and has released three solo CDs: the all-original Tall Tales & Plain Lies (2004), featuring the stellar playing of Peter Ostroushko, Clint Hoover and Gary Raynor; Pilgrim (2002), featuring Mr. Ostroushko, Dakota Dave Hull and Kari Larson; and an all-original solo EP released in the fall of 2006. Matthew is a proud endorser of Langejans Guitars, Diamond Bottlenecks and Elixir Strings. Sponsored in part by Black Hills Corporation/BH Power. |
