Thsi is a can’t miss show! In the tradition of the local hootenanny’s and jamborees of yesteryear The Big Suprise tour will feature a showcase of some of Americana’s brightest stars – Old Crow Medicine Show, Dave Rawlings Machine (featuring his frequent collaborator Gillian Welsh), The Felice Brothers and Justin Townes Earle – and will be making it’s way up the East Coast revue this summer.
The The Big Surprise Shows (the name comes from a Felice Brothers song) will be composed of two 90-minute sets broken up by an intermission. Artists will share the stage and take part in each other’s songs, Old standards are reported to be performed as well as newly written collaborative material. I hopw when the East Coast of covered they head over to the West.
