New Riders of the Purple Sage
Tickets available at: The Keg at the German House and the Bop Shop (no service charge), Aaron’s Alley and all Ticketmaster outlets, www.ticketmaster.com, charge by phone 1-800-745-3000
NRPS began as a part-time spin-off from the Grateful Dead when Jerry Garcia (pedal steel guitar), Phil Lesh (bass) and Mickey Hart (drums) teamed up with John Dawson (guitar, vocals) and David Nelson (guitar). Although early live appearances were viewed as an informal warm-up to the main attraction, the group quickly established an independent identity through the strength of Dawson's original songs.

“His playing style melded the delicate elements of Mississippi John Hurt’s music, the vocal anguish and slash-and-burn acoustic slide styles of Charley Patton and Son House, the rebelliousness and everyman storytelling of folk icon Woody Guthrie, and a hint of Americana rock of the kind performed by Scarecrow era John Mellencamp, also an Indiana native.” -Will Romano, BLUES REVUE MAGAZINE.

May 21, 2010 ESI Events & Up All Night Concerts Present:
Shawn Phillips@ The German House
7pm
Doors/8pm Show
$20 presale/$25 day of show
Tickets available at: The Keg at the German House and the Bop Shop (no service charge), Aaron’s Alley and all Ticketmaster outlets, www.ticketmaster.com, charge by phone 1-800-745-3000
"Shawn Phillips is one of most fascinating and enigmatic musicians to come out of the early '70s singer-songwriter boom. The mere fact that he was a musician as much as a singer and songwriter made him stand out, and helped him attract a dedicated following. His refusal to shape his music -- which crosses between folk-rock, jazz, progressive, pop, and classical -- to anyone else's expectations has allowed him to hold onto a large and dedicated cult following. A cult figure whose peers include Van Dyke Parks and, perhaps, Leonard Cohen, he remains an enigmatic figure on the music landscape. His work remained sufficiently in demand."
