Peter Mulvey w/s/g Jon Shain May 12, 2006

Tickets: $14/$10 members and students.

Peter Mulvey injects a contemporary edginess into his writing, distilling funk, folk, rock and now old jazz and swing into songs that are lyrical and ethereal. With a novel guitar style utilizing unique, bass-heavy tunings, a husky voice, and a good sense of lyricism, Peter stands out among contemporary folk songwriters. "Kitchen Radio," Mulvey's third album for Signature Sounds, is a collection of original music performed with grit and abandon. Images of travel and longing weave through the collection--a longing for meaning, for love, for home, for a peaceful world, for peace of mind.

Opener Jon Shain is a veteran singer-songwriter who?s been turning heads for years with his words, his fiery acoustic guitar work, and his evolved musical style.
