An Evening with Slaid Cleaves
From the event description:
Now twenty-five years into his storied career, Cleaves' songwriting has never been more potent than on his new album "Ghost on the Car Radio," out June 23. The characters in his songs live in unglamorous realities — they work dead-end jobs, they run out of money, they grow old, they hold on to each other (or not) and they die. With an eye for the beauty in everyday life, he tells their stories, bringing a bit of empathy to their uncaring world.
When: Thursday, May 16, 8-11 p.m.
Where: The Old Church Concert Hall, 1422 S.W. 11th Ave.
Price: $25
