folk musicians double bill
Door 7:30pm, Music 8:00pm | Purchase advance tickets: $17.50

A founding member of two longtime favorite Freight bands, Santa Barbara singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jon Wilcox is a highly regarded folk music veteran thanks to his work with Marley's Ghost and the Rincon Ramblers, two groups known for great musicianship and extreme eclecticism. Jon continues in a similar vein in his solo work on stage and CDs like the recent Song Traveler, which ranges from traditional folk to folk-rock, Celtic music, Scottish tunes, reggae, a Merle Haggard number and a Dylan tribute, with plenty of clever originals thrown in for good measure.

Joining Jon tonight is another Freight regular, Larry Hanks. Larry applies his expressive bass vocals, tasteful guitar, and Jew's harp to a unique repertoire gathered during more than four decades on the folk music scene, including blues, ballads, old-time songs, topical songs from the past and present, and political and environmental songs, all rendered, in the words of Utah Phillips, "With fidelity, virtuosity, respect, and a deep abiding love."
