The Rock Tavern Chapter of the Hudson Valley Folk Guild, at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Rock Tavern, will be featuring Bruce T. Carroll on Saturday, January 12 at 7:30 p.m. Open mic performances will be available to all. Cost of admission for this event is $6 ($5 for Folk Guild members and seniors).

After releasing two critically acclaimed albums in the past two years, Ruckus and Romance and Finding You, Bruce T. Carroll is hitting the road with live performances. Bruce’s music, lyric driven and imagistic, has often been described as an utterly original extension of the works of songwriters like Tim Hardin, John Martyn, and Tom Waits. Although he is a committed balladeer, Bruce’s live show is kinetic and energetic, and his songs are rooted in his conviction that music and social conscience rise from the same wellspring of humanity, and derive meaning and power from their ability to inform, inspire and unite. Bruce has shared the with artists such as Slaid Cleaves, Ellis Paul, Jimmy LaFave (RIP), Dan Bern, Jim Gaudet, and Rita Coolidge, and his band has also headlined shows at various clubs including the Bitter End, Rockwood Music Hall, The Colony Woodstock, the Falcon, and the Towne Crier.
