RANDALL BRAMBLETT with NICK JOHNSON-acoustic show

ACOUSTIC SHOW - WITH SPECIAL GUEST NICK JOHNSON ON GUITAR.
Deep into his self-described second act of his solo career, Bramblett aims to recreate the literature of the blues with music about nowhere people in nowhere lands. Conjuring equal parts Tom Waits, William Burroughs, and hallelujah chorus, his music again comes alive with this new collection of songs. With a commitment to the story of his characters and the necessary mutation of music, Bramblett has kept his solo career as fresh as the day it began.
