Josh Harty to play the Pearl
As
Europeans discovered and Midwesterners have
known, it doesn't get more Americana than Josh
Harty. His father, both a preacher and the
sheriff of his boyhood small town in North
Dakota, was also Harty's musical mentor."I was either going to heaven or to jail," Harty muses.
That kind of humor, that hell-bound hope, is in the center of Harty's music- music captured on his latest album, "Nowhere," polished in performances in Europe, and now ready for a year long cross-country American tour in support of Nowhere.
Those in the upper Midwest who have watched Harty grow since his move to Madison in 2004 know what he can make happen live. His warm, woeful voice is buoyed by charismatic guitar playing. He can hush a bar room. When he lets his guitar do the talking audiences are carried all the way in. Harty will capture your radio or television audience the same way he commands a bar room. And his live shows prove that good story telling combined with journeyman musicianship is as American as music gets.
Meet the heart of Americana. Join us at The Pearl Theater to experience Josh Harty at 7 p.m. Saturday, June 22. Doors and the Pearl Cafe open at 6 p.m.
