Event Information:
FITZGERALDS PRESENTS:SON VOLTw/ Jesse Farrar of Old Salt UnionOn Son Volts new record, Union, present and past mingle into strong confluence. The thirteen new songs written by founder Jay Farrar confront our turbulent politics and articulate the clarity and comfort music can offer in the tumult. There are so many forces driving our country apart, observes Farrar. What can we do to bring our society back together?The country and blues sounds explored by Son Volt on its last two records (2013s Honky Tonk and 2017s Notes of Blue) linger in the grooves of Union. But the new record nods to many other mile markers along the bands 25-year path. Some tunes offer a powerful return to the ringing lyrical clarity of 2005s Okemah and the Melody of Riot and 2007s The Search. Others hearken back to the freewheeling poetic melodicism of 1994s Trace and 1997s Straightaways.Broadsides will be hurled to capture the truth, sings Farrar on the brooding and blues-driven song that takes its name from the one-page bulletins that used to spread both proclamations and ballads. And songs such as The 99, While Rome Burns, and Lady Liberty push up the acoustic guitar in the mix to underscore the enduring role of troubadours in troubled times. A lot of these songs are songs of turmoil, says Farrar. Questioning whats going on.On Union, Farrar taps into folk musics rich lyrical legacy. Its a tradition he has tapped often both in Son Volt and in Uncle Tupelo. I was raised on folk music, observes Farrar. Politics is a common thread there. In a time where we see threats to our way of life, and our democracy, from within, you say: What can I do? I put pen to paper and write music.Read more on Son Volt here: https://sonvolt.net/bio/Doors open at 7pm, General Admission, No Reserved Seating. Under 21 ok if accompanied by parent or guardian.
