Strange Ranch Presents Scottish folk artist Sam Shackleton to the Tower Theatre Lounge on his first ever tour of the western United States.
Sam Shackleton
Sam Shackleton, also known by his Gaelic moniker, Sorley the Bard, is a Scottish singer-songwriter and folk artist. His music is greatly inspired by the rich inter-connected musical oral traditions of Scotland, Ireland, and the United States. Strongly influenced by the 1960's folk revival, his unique sound is a mix of country, old time, traditional, folk, and blues with a Scottish spirit. He was born in Stirling and raised all over Scotland, from the Borders to the Highlands and his music is deeply inspired by the oral tradition, musical culture, and landscapes of Scotland.
Nick Hans
NICK HANS writes songs drawing primarily from his own life – sometimes dark, sometimes beautiful. He left Tennessee in his late teens and began crisscrossing the country by freight train, working seasonal jobs, farming, and living in punk and radical communities. When he found a cassette tape with Leadbelly on one side and Woody Guthrie on the other, he was blown away by the beauty and power of those legendary musicians and their songs. He picked up a beat-up Stella guitar, and has been writing and playing his own songs ever since. HANS spent many years living in New Orleans, playing shows and busking with an ever-changing cast of musicians, including his previous bands the Sluetown Strutters and the Stay All Night Rounders. He currently lives in Taos, New Mexico, where he continues to farm, work, and write music.
Jonathan Low-Fi
Born and raised in Fresno, California Central Valley song slinger Jonathan Low-Fi writes original tunes of love, sorrow, struggle and grace. Writing through a lense of Folk and Americana, Low-Fi leans on his experience growing up watching trains pass by and wandering around The Sierra Nevadas. With one recording under Jonathan's belt, Low-Fi is showcasing an anticipated Self Titled full length album to be released later this year.
