On Friday, May 8, at 7 pm, Julian Lage will headline the tenth show in Newtown’s Live at the Edmond Town Hall series.

Lage is touring behind his new solo album, World’s Fair, a musical narrative designed to feature a vast range of timbral and musical possibilities living within a single acoustic guitar. Inspired by the orchestral approach to the guitar of the great Andres Segovia, as well as the shorter song forms of contemporary acoustic music, this solo project shines a light directly on the interaction between musical storytelling, spontaneous composition, and the unmistakable voice of a vintage Martin guitar.

This show was scheduled as a duo show with Punch Brothers guitarist Chris Eldridge, but following a skiing accident, Eldridge will be unable to tour.

Stamford-based father-daughter duo Dave and Emma Hart will open.

Tickets are $20 each and are available at www.edmondtownhall.org/liveateth.

All profits from this show will go toward continued  renovations and upgrades at the Edmond Town Hall Theatre. Previous guests in the Live at ETH series have included The Low Anthem, Bill Frisell and Sam Amidon, Brown Bird, Phosphorescent, Fred Hersch, Autumn Defense, Mark Kozelek, and Quiet Life.
