Chris Hillman and Herb Pedersen play the Earlville Opera House

EARLVILLE – The Earlville Opera House welcomes Chris Hillman and Herb Pedersen at 8 p.m. Friday. The two country rock pioneers take the EOH main stage to explore the back roads of Americana music. Hillman’s excellent guitar and mandolin technique blend beautifully with the hillbilly flavors provided by Pedersen’s fiery banjo picking. This performance is generously sponsored by Stearns & Wheler, LLC and media sponsor WAER – FM.
Chris Hillman and Herb Pederson - both still youthful in their early sixties – are two quietly monumental figures of an era of American music - young guns alongside McGuinn, Crosby, J.D. Souther, Neil Young, Richie Furay, Stephen Stills, Dan Fogelberg, Timothy B. Schmit, Al Perkins and so many more.   Some may remember Hillman and Pedersen from their days together in the Desert Rose Band. 
Chris Hillman’s won a place in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.  Arguably the pioneer of the genre know as “Country Rock,” Chris Hillman has carved a permanent niche in the history of contemporary American music with such notable bands as The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers and the Desert Rose Band. 
Herb Pedersen began his career in Berkeley, California in the early 60s playing 5 string banjo and acoustic guitar with people like David Grisman, Butch Waller, David Nelson, and Jerry Garcia. His recording discography is like a who's who of the singer/songwriter scene, so prevalent in the 70s and 80s.
Tickets are $20 for the general public, $18 for EOH members, and $15 for students.  The EOH Theater is wheelchair-accessible with a ramp and a lift. Don’t forget to visit our Artisan’s Gift Shop and EOH Arts Café. The café is always open before the performance and during intermission, and serves tasty desserts, refreshing summer drink classics, and hot coffee/tea as well.  For more information, or to reserve your seats, call 315-691-3550 or order online at www.earlvilleoperahouse.com.
Earlville Opera House events are made possible, in part, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, a State Agency, and through the generosity of Earlville Opera House members.
