Webb Wilder at The Down Home

Webb Wilder returns with Hillbilly Speedball, his first new album in five long years. Backed by a small army of musical friends old and new, Wilder's brushstrokes across the album's 10 songs balance tempered restraint with raucous abandon.
"The further I got into recording these songs, the more the fire got lit," he comments. "I'd been in this sort of stasis, and David Grissom, one of my oldest friends and a brilliant guitarist, sent me a new song to check out called 'Hillbilly Speedball.' I liked it. It was in the same key as my biggest successes, and I asked him, 'Hey, what if I do it?' That's how it started."
Other notable guests on the album are Vince Gill (who Wilder calls "the world's most down-to-earth superstar"), iconic Wrecking Crew session man Richard Bennett, Fats Kaplin (ex-Jack White), and an extended family of heavyweights from across the music spectrum.
Tickets: $30
