Thad Beckman Trio
Roots and blues singer-songwriter Thad Beckman brings his trio to Humboldt County for a show on Friday, January 13 at the Arcata Playhouse. Joining Beckman will be Danny Montgomery on drums and Gary Davidson on bass for an evening of original songs. Beckman, Montgomery, and Davidson will also support poet Jerry Martien along with guitarist Fred Neighbor on Thursday, January 12 as he performs his original poems at the Playhouse. Both shows are at 8:00 p.m. with tickets at Wildberries Market Place, or by calling 822-1575. A professional musician for more than 30 years, Thad Beckman has paid his dues on the dusty roads which run from California to New Jersey to Texas to Amsterdam to Vienna and points in between. His finely-crafted original songs are the story of life, the voice of modern America...from the growling delta blues of the Deep South to evocative contemporary folk blues...bound by the common thread of experience gleaned from the road. As a guitarist, Thad Beckman has been hired by Bo Diddley, The Shirelles, Earl Thomas, Tom Russell and as a bandleader has found himself sharing the stage with such renowned artists as B.B. King, Albert Collins, James Cotton, The Band, Emmylou Harris, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks, Los Lobos, Dave Alvin, Jimmy Webb, and The Flatlanders to name a few. Thad has also recorded six album projects, all of which received outstanding press. Join him as he share his stories and songs with some of his favorite local musicians. ”Beckman has released a knockout of an album with lots of stylistic variety. This is powerful stuff, beautifully performed and exquisitely produced. Quite a find!” - Blair Jackson, Acoustic Guitar Magazine; review of “Streets of Disaster.”
