Chris Smither / Tim O’Brien w/ Jan Fabricius – Tuesday Show

October 11, 2022 @ 6:30 pm - 11:00 pm

$32.50

Chris Smither / Tim O’Brien w/ Jan Fabricius at Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs, NY, is an evening featuring two of the finest musicians and songwriters out there.

As co-founder and lead vocalist of Hot Rize, Tim O’Brien served as a bridge between the traditional sounds of the hill country and the modern styles of bluegrass in the 1980s. Since the band’s breakup, O’Brien has continued to expand the music’s borders as a soloist, a duo partner with his sister Mollie, and with his band, the O’Boys. O’Brien’s songs have additionally been recorded by Kathy Mattea, the Seldom Scene, New Grass Revival, and the Johnson Mountain Boys. The guitarist’s deft picking has set a standard for the instrument’s role in bluegrass.

Tonight Tim O’Brien will perform with his partner Jan Fabricius on harmony vocals and mandolin. Featuring his solid guitar, fiddle, and mandolin, the shows cover a range of original compositions and traditional arrangements mixed with stories and Tim’s self-deprecating humor.

Honing a synthesis of folk and blues for 50 years, Smither is truly an American original. Reviewers and fans from around the world, including Rolling Stone and The New York Times, agree that Chris continues to be a profound songwriter, a blistering guitarist, and intense performer as he draws deeply from the blues, American folk music, modern poets and humanist philosophers.
