Chris Smither and David Lindley
WHEN: THU, MAR 23 at 7:30PM
An incredible double-bill featuring two true guitar masters. Smither is an original whose songs draw deeply from the Blues, American Folk roots, modern poets and philosophers. Lindley is an expert with such wide variety of instruments that Acoustic Guitar referred to the World music artist as a “maxi-instrumentalist.”SOPAC is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit.
