Southern Appalachian Brewery is proud to present an evening celebrating and/or exploring the lyrical and/or musical brilliance of Thomas Alan Waits. All the talent. All the discord. All that he honors. All that he dismantles. All of it gorgeous. All of it transporting. So gorgeously transporting, in fact, that when you listen to his songs you will feel as if somebody has blindfolded you, hypnotized you, given you opium, taken away your bearings and now is leading you backward on a carousel of your own past lives, asking you to touch all the dusty wooden animals of your old fears and lost loves, asking you to recognize them with only your hands. Or maybe that’s just how it feels to me.
Featuring the mighty mighty talents of William Lauren Bandy (bass), David Cohen (drums and whatever else he takes a notion to slapwhack), Todd Hoke (guitar, harmonica [sorta] and ukulele), Walt Kross (saxophone), and Bill Loftus (guitar, harmonica [for real], and keyboard).
It will be grizzled and glorious. Y’all come.
