($10-$15 | 6pm doors / 7pm show) Tucson Folk Fest presents a monthly Songwriter Roundtable with rotating special guests. This Month we welcome Salvador Duran, Don Armstrong, and Eric Schaffer!Salvador Duran
Salvador Duran immigrated to Tucson more than a decade ago. When he first came to the Old Pueblo, he had decided to abandon music for painting. However, it didn’t take long for the road he’d chosen to merge with his musical past. Since then, Duran has toured with Orkesta Mendoza and has recorded with Calexico and Iron & Wine.
Don Armstrong
Don Armstrong grew up in upstate New York and began hanging out at Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs as a teen. Under the watchful eye of Lena Spencer, he learned through the graces of the performers passing through: Paul Clayton, Dave Van Ronk, Rev. Gary Davis, Bob Dylan, Hedy West, John Herald, Gil Robbins, Ian & Sylvia, and Utah Phillips
Don has been called a "Tucson Treasure" and a "consummate songwriter" (Arizona Daily Star). He has toured nationwide as well as Canada and Mexico, and his songs have been sung around the world. He currently records for the Ronstadt Record Company.
Eric Schaffer
Raised in the swamps of New Jersey, Eric Schaffer has been recognized as one of Southern Arizona’s favorite singer/songwriters. He has been a finalist in the Great American Song Contest, the Passport To Nashville songwriting contest, a three-time Tucson Folk Festival songwriting competition finalist, and the winner of the 2022 Tumbleweed Music Festival songwriting contest.
With a writing style heavily influenced by the great singer/songwriters of the 60’s and 70’s and a voice that has been compared to Kris Kristofferson and Steve Earle, his songs are sometimes sweet, sometimes melancholy, sometimes funny and always well crafted. Eric has performed throughout the US and has opened shows for Clint Black, Blackberry Smoke, Marc Cohn, Lonestar and Darden Smith.
Eric performs regularly in Southern Arizona with his band The Other Troublemakers.
This is a 21+ event.
