ANDERS OSBORNE & JACKIE GREENE SET TO PLAY SPRING FEST

 

Anders Osborne and Jackie Greene’s “Tourgether” is coming to Spring Strawberry! Both are incredibly talented singer-songwriters and Tourgether is a beautifully stripped down acoustic showcase of both artist’s material, each taking a turn with one of their songs while the other provides accompaniment.  Anders Osborne is one of New Orleans’s true music treasures, having earned numerous awards and honors as a masterful guitarist and deeply emotive song crafter.  The potency of his lyrical expression, intensely soulful vocals and expert guitar work, make Osborne one of the most original and visionary musicians writing and performing today.  Jackie Greene has been chasing his musical muse ever since his teenage years, when he released his critically acclaimed independent debut, signed his first record deal and began a lifetime of touring that would see him supporting the likes of BB King, Mark Knopfler, Susan Tedeschi, and Taj Mahal.  He first performed at Spring Strawberry in 2003 and then again at the Fall Festival in 2004.  Many Strawberrians have surely been anticipating his return ever since, so it’s certainly very wonderful to have Jackie Greene return with Anders Osborne, who was absolutely killer at last year’s Spring festival!  We can’t wait to see them, and you, in just a few months!

GHOST OF PAUL REVERE RETURN IN 2018

We are thrilled for Ghost of Paul Revere’s return to Strawberry after delivering a remarkable performance at last year’s Fall Festival.  Since the band’s inception in 2011, they have been pleasing crowds and packing houses across their home state of Maine. Word has begun to spread about these rowdy pickers from the north, and their popularity grows with each new exposure.  Music fans are certainly drawn to Ghost of Paul Revere’s unique style of sound innovation and their authentic enthusiasm for the craft. This dynamic group of hard-working and talented players has even given rise to their own musical genre, fondly dubbed “holler folk”, invoking the richly communal tradition of field hollers, with their call-and-response melodies, sing-along hooks, and densely layered harmonies.  There’s little doubt that Ghost of Paul Revere is going places and we’re happy to announce that one of those places is Strawberry Spring ’18.

Watch their live performance on Conan, last night!

LUKAS NELSON & PROMISE OF THE REAL MAKE STRAWBERRY DEBUT

We’re so delighted to welcome Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real for their Strawberry debut!  The buzz surrounding Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real has been intensifying.  The 29-year old singer/songwriter/guitarist and his band mates have played hundreds of shows and major festivals all over the world and built a devoted following. Lukas’ profile started to rise when he contributed his songwriting, guitar and vocal skills to dad Willie Nelson’s 2012 album, “Heroes”. Then in 2015, life took another turn skyward when Neil Young made Promise of the Real his studio band & touring band for “The Monsanto Years”, continuing their collaboration for his album “Earth (2016) and Young’s most recent record “The Visitor” (2017). Coming of age in a celebrated musical family, Lukas Nelson learned early on that true originality is hard won, never given. Doubtlessly blessed with a measure of musical ability, it’s clear that his natural gifts have been honed by a singular devotion to craft and a deep appreciation for the sacrifice a creative life requires. Elated by the way things have come together so beautifully, Lukas is gratified that POTR have earned this moment.  Join us for what promises to be an incredible festival Friday with Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real at at Strawberry Music Festival – Spring 2018.
