Son of the original singer-songwriter

Arlo's in town tonight at the University of Hartford's Lincoln Theater. Good seats still available.

Kimbrough and Crowell

Will Kimbrough and Rodney Crowell gave powerhouse performances of rootsy, topical American music on Friday at the University of Hartford's Wilde Auditorium in a benefit for the UofH chapter of Habitat for Humanity.

Kimbrough, despite being jet-lagged and exhausted from three weeks of touring in England and Ireland took time before the show to record an interview for Caterwaul which will be broadcast this coming Wednesday morning.

Crowell, who has been at the top of the country charts, is finding his own as a songwriter spilling venom about the troubled world we live in.

Concerts of the Week

Patty Larkin
Music for a Change
Friday October 5, 7:30 PM,
Wilde Auditorium, University of Hartford
West Hartford CT

Patty Larkin is, simply, one of the most musical, entertaining, engaging, talented people on the planet. I guess she's blessed not to have the attention of a Britney, but why the human race seems to fawn and fall over the talentless when we have musicians like Patty in our midst, I'll never understand. Larkin is a terrific songwriter, and one of the best guitarists I've ever witnessed. Need to know more, go tonight.

Melissa Ferrick
The Space, Hamden CT
Saturday October 6

Ferrick is a bundle of intense energy barely contained by her skin. She's funny, outrageous, and outrageously talented. She's no second-string Ani, but a real, unique and riveting performer. And The Space, well, shamefully I haven't been there yet, but they are doing amazing things down there in Hamden. Check out the lineup at their website.
