Spend Sunday afternoon with Joe Crookston at 6OTS
OXFORD – Six On The Square (6OTS) invites you to a special afternoon of song on Sunday, Nov. 27. At 2 p.m., before the Oxford Tree Lighting Ceremony (5 p.m.), award winning singer-songwriter Joe Crookston will be on the 6OTS stage. Crookston’s fusion of contemporary and traditional styles will charge and charm your spirit getting your holiday season off on the right foot!
Take this entertaining journey with the very talented Joe Crookston. He’s from rural Ohio with Hungarian roots and maybe a little Gypsy in his soul. It could be in his hypnotic guitar sound, bubbling banjo, or short story lyrics, but his music exudes a remarkable timeless quality.
Joe has been aptly described as a modern-day troubadour; a wordsmith who paints pictures with his lyrics, beautifully. His words are sometimes stories and sometimes poetry about ruby red dresses, drunken roosters, ex-slaves, window washers, Polish Immigrants, Tinian Island, rutabagas and the cycles of life and death. His keen musicianship as guitarist (his Martin OM 28), clawhammer banjo player, and as fiddler, will make you ‘feel’ the music.
Joe has played his folk music to packed audiences with his Songs of the Finger Lakes, music he gathered as part of research into our music cultures. His 2008 CD release, Able Baker Charlie and Dog was awarded “Album of the Year” by the International Folk Alliance in Memphis, TN. Now he has a new album out, Darkling & the Bluebird Jubilee, with songs that are lush and well crafted; simply inspired.
Sing Out! Magazine says, “With all the performers out there, an artist has to go beyond good...and Joe does.”
Joe delivers it all... the music, the lyrics, the energy, and the passion -- he loves his audience, and it shows! Tickets for this 2 p.m. performance are $12 until the date of the performance (plus a $2 ticket service charge) or $15 at the door. Ticket price for students, under age 18, are always $2; please call to make a student reservation! Doors open one-hour prior to show time. When Joe’s show is over, it will nearly be time for the Tree Lighting ceremony, so stick around! For further information, call 843-OTS6 (6876) or visit 6onthesquare.org.
