SUMMARY:SongSpace Presents Rupert Wates with special guest Dan Petrich
DESCRIPTION:Come for the Cluster Meeting\, stay for a great acoustic concer
 t!!\n\n“It is difficult to decide how to characterize Wates – his lyri
 cal texts\, his immaculate music (his control of the fingerpicking style i
 s admirably perfect) or his throaty voice… this is quality.” – – V
 on Jurgen Zimmer\, Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung\n\n“A prime figure in
  American music” – – Folk And Acoustic Music Exchange\n\n“Truly gr
 ipping lyrics with great themes and troubling\, witty messages. An inspira
 tional artist.” – – Leith FM Radio 98.8 FM Scotland\n\nRupert Wates 
 (https://rupertwatesmusic.com/) was born in London\, relocated to Paris\, 
 and since 2006 has been based in New York City and Colorado. Influenced by
  Leo Kottke\, John Martyn\, Joni Mitchell and Nick Drake among others\, hi
 s music is an eclectic mix of acoustic\, melodic art/folk\, with flavors o
 f jazz\, vaudeville and cabaret. Rupert has released eleven full-length CD
 s\, each to outstandingly good reviews. He averages 120 live shows every y
 ear in acoustic venues in every state in the US\, in Canada and in Europe.
  He prefers smaller listening rooms where the audience is up close and the
  emphasis is on the music. Winner of more than 50 songwriting awards\, in 
 2018 Wates was a Finalist in the Kerrville New Folk Song Contest\, and an 
 Emerging Artist at Falconridge Folk Festival. His guitar work is amazing\,
  his voice a soothing tenor\, and his storytelling exquisite.\n\nDan Petri
 ch (https://danpetrich.com) will open the show. Dan has released three alb
 ums of original folk music: Sycamore Tales (2009) and Of Devils\, Gods and
  Men (a WYEP album of the month in March 2019) feature Dan’s fine guitar
  work and thoughtful\, contemplative lyrics\; Children of Ghosts (2022) pr
 ovides a rich studio setting for his music. Dan has opened for Charlie Par
 r\, Anna Tivel\, Maya de Vitry\, Ray Bonneville and others\, and he has pe
 rformed at the Three Rivers Arts Festival\, Deutschtown Musical Festival\,
  Millvale Music Festival as well as clubs and listening rooms throughout t
 he Pittsburgh area.\n\n“sparse and powerful … Petrich doles out his na
 rrative with the eye of a documentary filmmaker.” – – My Old Kentuck

 \, inspiring evening!\n\nDoors 7:00pm\nShow 7:30pm\nGeneral: $20 Advance /
