Harp Magazine Presents Eric Bachmann and Richard Buckner

Wednesday, September 13, 2006 - 7:30pm
$13.00
$15.00

Two stark yet highly perceptive indie songwriters on one night: Eric Bachmann (the lead singer of Crooked Fingers, and Archers of Loaf) and cult troubador Richard Buckner. Eric Bachmann will be celebrating the release of his debut solo album, To The Races. Spartan and sparse, stories of isolation and the quest for sanctuary.

And critically-acclaimed singer-songwriter Richard Buckner will be celebrating the September 12 release on Merge Records of his eighth CD, Meadow. “There are three kinds of American folk artist: those who sit, contented, on a back porch contemplating America’s landscape and ways; those for whom its landscape and ways are something to stand against or move boldly through; and those whose America is a shadowy, impressionistic place that moves inside of them. This [latter] is the area that the sombre-voiced Richard Buckner has been exploring since 1984” -- Sylvie Simmons; The Guardian, 2004
