MICHAEL TARBOX

Michael Tarbox is a smokey-voiced singer who’s made a name for himself with music melding blues, rock, and Appalachian folk in an exciting take on American roots sounds. His white-lightning roadhouse style has drawn raves from All Things Considered, Rolling Stone and many more, while his astonishing slide guitar player has attracted fans from both sides of the Atlantic. Tarbox will appear at our fundraiser along with drummer Adam Mujica. They’ve played countless shows together throughout the US and Canada, with a sound that fuses traditional influences with rock energy. If you like roots music that doesn’t pull any punches then you don’t want to miss this band!

All Things Considered: “Homemade rock ‘n’ roll with a dose of rattlesnake venom and gospel-drenched howling.”

Calgary Sun: “For our money Tarbox is the most evocative and distinctive blues-roots artist to come down the pike in ages.”

The Boston Globe: "Intoxicatingly original”

Twangville: "At the heart of Tarbox’s music is his guitar, as raw as it is charismatic. It creates an electricity that courses through every song.
