Search - Dusk :: Dusk

An open-armed variety show that happily weds the outrageous and the familiar. An upbeat eclectic painting in original song and drama, backed by a total of 14 outstanding guest artists. Think Dave Matthews meets The Firesign Theatre. An artist who is at once personal, profound, and positively off the beaten path. Think Jackson Browne meets Weird Al Yankovic. A veritable potpourri of vocal and musical styles. From one song to the next, Maverick Country metamorphoses into Drivin'Cajun then Rockabilly, Latina Groove, Walking/Talking Blues, Theatrical Rock, Hilarious Novelty, and more. A wonderful parade of well-chosen instruments and accompaniment. From Pedal Steel Guitar to Charango, Saxophone to Accordion, Tuba to Harmonica, a total of twenty typical and atypical instruments perfectly framing each song. And clear, powerful vocals/lyrics that are ever fresh - often quirky - yet vocals/lyrics that run deep to the heart of human experience beneath the humorous and highly creative turns of phrase by this award-winning-author-become-outstanding-singer-songwriter. Think Janis Ian meets Shel Silverstein. Here are twelve tracks that are certain to invoke your Muse, but that will simultaneously poke and amuse you. All accomplished with a most unusual juxtaposition of familiar musical styles that is wholly listenable and melodic from start to finish.
