SUMMARY:Joe Crookston in Concert! J Michael Opens
DESCRIPTION:Joe Crookston is a force of nature on stage. Pure magic.\nHe’s in his power AND communes with his audience. From touring with Gordon Lightfoot\, headlining major US festivals\, receiving Folk Alliance International “Album of the Year\,” releasing NINE BECOMES ONE (2024) to being named Folk Alliance International Artist-in- Resident\, Joe is on fire. He’s played with Suzanne Vega\, Dar Williams\, David Francey\, John McCutcheon\, John Gorka\, Judy Collins and 100’s more. His songs are are being made into award winning films.\nHe’ll surprise you. He awakens the cynics. His rhythm is infectious. In concert\, he is funny one moment and transcendent the next. Whether he’s weaving through lap slide songs or fiddling an American Southern tune\, he’ll draw you in. It happens every time. Watch a YouTube video…it’s fine\, but it’s not the same. You gotta come to a show. With unwavering courage to be himself\, he is literate\, poignant and funny as hell.\nHear of Oklahoma towns\, rattlesnake tails\, turbary thieves\, meter maids and drunk roosters. At the end of the night\, you’ll leave inspired. “The Long Note” is a phrase in Irish culture. “The Long Note” is that place of resonance and transcendence where the music\, the voices\, the instruments\, and the community ALL come together and unite.\nTHE LONG NOTE. JOE CROOKSTON IS REACHING FOR IT!\nThere is even more to know at:joecrookston.com\nWelcome J Michael to our ACMA stage to open the show. Raised on the mean streets of suburban Miami\, he is a classically trained musician from a young age. To pursue rock and roll as a bass player\, J Michael gave all that up. Early influences include James Taylor\, Carole King and Jim Croce. He was drawn to country and folk rock artists such as Gram Parsons\, The Grateful Dead\, The Byrds\, Buffalo Springfield\, Eagles. Later influences include Townes Van Zandt\, Steve Earle and Kim Richey. Recently he started performing his own compositions here at ACMA. His songs emanate from times of emotional and personal upheaval.\nTickets are available at the door for this show.\nDoor donations are as follows:$15/Members$20 /General Admission\nThe ACMA listening room doors open at 6:30 pm and the show begins at 7:00 pm
