Concerts at the Sevareid House Presents Eric Taylor with Tony Denikos

Doors: 6:30 pm
Show: 7:00 pm

ERIC TAYLOR is a sage musician, a lyrical genius and a master of the guitar. If you're familiar with the intricate Texas singer/ songwriter jigsaw puzzle, you probably already know a lot about Taylor. If you're not familiar with Taylor by name, you've probably heard his songs performed by people such as Nanci Griffith and Lyle Lovett. He has created a multitude of fans and devotees that are legends themselves in the singer/songwriter realm, artists who have long considered Taylor to be a teacher and a lantern bearer whose time is long overdue.

REVIEWS:

Al Kaufman, Atlanta Music Guide
Taylor may sing of the past, of bar rooms and hay fields and even Johnny Cash, but his characters want the same things we do. They want love and redemption. They want some fun and happiness. They want respect and sometimes even a little vengeance. Taylors people are just like us, its just that their tales are exquisitely told.

Lyle Lovett
Im always the opening act when Im around Eric. I love his voice, and he has a great narrative quality and sense of detail. He sort of takes you out of your own reality and into the reality of his songs. Its good writing no matter how you cut it.

Steve Earle
Hes the real deal. Eric Taylor was one my heroes and teachers when I started playing around Houston in the early 1970s.

Joan Baez
Eric Taylor....a very gifted songwriter. It was a high point for me performing "Strong Enough For Two" with him at the Newport Folk Festival. Hope to work more with him.

***********************************************************************************************

Opening for Eric will be award winning local singer-songwriter Tony Denikos. He produces modern Americana with deep roots. His songs are witty, sometimes cutting but purposeful and reflective. His authentic voice will drive the stories straight to your heart

"Tony Denikos has garnered so much praise and reviews that I wasn't left with hardly any adjectives for my own review. There's a warmth and natural soulfulness to this sound that is as much approachable as it is admirable. Next time I sit beside Prine at Arnold's Meat & Three, I am going to hip him to the fact that I know who is going to fill his shoes when he retires."--Gary Allen (JJ Cale/The Charlie Daniels Band/Stonewall Jackson)
