Cal Scott and Richard Moore welcome Portland singer-songwriter Thad Beckman http://www.thadbeckman.com/, to their bi-monthly circle at OConnors Vault in Multnomah Village, Monday, February 6 at 7:00pm. This series is sponsored by Hearing Health of Raleigh Hills.
Thad Beckman made a decades-long road trip from Portland to New Jersey, Europe, Canada, Florida, California and all points in between, including a long stop in Austin, Texas, where he rose to the top of its acoustic live music scene. He grew up playing in high school bands in Portland, but began his wandering ways early. After studying classical guitar in Washington, he moved on to find a soul mate in the blues of the Deep South. In 1993 he traveled to the competitive acoustic singer/songwriter music scene of Austin where he recorded his first critically acclaimed CD, Carry Me Back. He's been everywhere and his music shows it. His adept guitar playing, gritty vocals and ability to tell a tale bring a fresh perspective to familiar themes and emotions. Along the way, Thad's mastery of finger-style, electric and steel guitar earned him attention from fellow musicians. Hes worked with Tom Russell, Bo Diddley, Earl Thomas, to name a few. He has shared the stage with artists such as B.B. King, Emmylou Harris, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, James Cotton, Levon Helm, Dave Alvin, Jesse Winchester and many more. Several times over the past decade he as been a featured artist on the main stage at the renowned Kerrville Folk Festival.
With a voice that rasps like shoe leather on roadside gravel, and a finger-picked guitar on which notes fly by like railroad ties under a fast moving freight, Thad Beckman seems ideally suited to the wandering troubadour's tradition.- John T. Davis, Austin-American Statesman
The Circle regulars with Thad will be Cal Scott and Richard Moore, who have fine-tuned their acoustic chops together and individually over the past forty-some years. They initially joined forces as a collegiate vocal trio with tv star-to-be Markie Post, then with a rock band in the seventies, and now are five years running with the Songwriter Circle.
Advance tickets are $15 each from http://circlethad.brownpapertickets.com or at the door. Once the show is sold out, a few tickets may be available at the door, at the discretion of the venue.
