Event Date:
November 8, 2024 - 7:00pm Brewery Arts Center in Carson City and For The Song present an intimate evening of acoustic songwriters featuring John Elliott and Spike McGuire on Friday, Nov. 8.
John Elliott is a mix between Steve Poltz and John Fulbright, and sort of looks like Jeff Tweedy’s younger brother. He lives in San Francisco, but Austin and the Kerrville scene are second homes. He hails from the Twin Cities, growing up on Orange Julius, the Metrodome, and Kirby Puckett. “Elliott’s songs will take you on an emotional roller coaster. He brilliantly describes the raw realities of his unique perspectives of life. The passion behind his voice and his words makes you feel as if you are a character in his story. John Elliott’s songs appeared on the television shows ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’ ‘One-Tree Hill’ and ‘Californication.’ Humor is just part of John’s nature, it is in no way a coping method of dealing with the downsides of being a musician. Sharing your creation with the world comes with the territory….”
— Austin Chronicle
Spike McGuire is an internationally touring musician that has performed in 16 states and 5 countries as well as a GraphTech Guitar Labs endorsed. He is known for his work as founder of Loud As Folk. On the rich spectrum of folk music McGuire resides decidedly closer to Pete Seger than Peter, Paul, and Mary and has spent the last decade and a half drawing parallels between the ethos of punk rock and the spirit of folk music by building community and engaging listeners with his message. The lessons McGuire learned on the road now serve him well in his position of Executive Director at Brewery Arts Center in Carson City, NV.
