Description

One of the most unique musicians in American music, Its been a long and influential road for songwriter/guitarist and original Wall Of Voodoo vocalist Stan Ridgway. His darkly humorous, and richly cinematic musical tales of the ironies inside the American Dream have been compared to other classic songwriting iconoclasts like Randy Newman, Tom Waits, Johnny Cash and even hard boiled mystery writers like Raymond Chandler and Jim Thompson, as well as twisted film makers like David Lynch and Quentin Tarantino.

This show will see him playing and singing popular selections from his now almost 30 year career, including the songs Ring Of Fire, Camouflage, The Big Heat, Drive She Said, Mexican Radio, Call Of The West, Don’t Box Me In (theme from Rumblefish), and many more. Like a sonic movie for the ears, Stan Ridgway songs have to be heard to be seen. Also on the bill as very special guests are The Handsome Family .
