From the venue:
Lon Eldridge and his handlebar moustache have graced stages throughout North America, Europe, and Japan, delivering his blend of Delta blues, swing, and ragtime music with a demeanor that conjures up Leon Redbone. His intricate fingerstyle guitar work evokes the spirits of Mississippi John Hurt, Robert Johnson, and other greats.
New Orleans-born Richard Daigle discovered John Prine’s first album in the mid-70s and was immediately hooked. He had the pleasure of interviewing and having dinner with Prine years before the internet was a thing. One reviewer said of Daigle’s inaugural album Average Joe, released in 2020, “it’s modern-day folk-rock music at its best.”
