"Greg Trooper writes great songs, including one of my very favorite songs in the world, Little Sister. On top of all that, there's his voice - an instrument I have coveted for 15 years." - Steve Earle

One of the great American songwriters" - Bob Harris, BBC Radio

Gary Furlow garyfurlow.com/ is a smooth talker in the low registers. He can take you to his hometown, New Orleans and back, in the matter of a breath between phrases. He sings his steamy gulf-simmered stories like he was there when it all went down, which he probably was.

Tickets are $15 in advance from brownpapertickets.com or $20 at the door. Seating is limited. Best bet is early purchase of advance tickets.
