Townes Van Zandt is a songwriting legend among circles who treasure poetic lyrics and poignant turns of phrase, and yet he remains mostly obscure among today’s mainstream listeners. His songs are as varied as they are brilliant, and as a writer, Townes set a bar for an integrity of songwriting that runs deep through traditional country and Americana today. His songs have been treasured by die-hard fans and covered by Emmylou Harris, John Prine, Doc Watson, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, among other notable songwriting giants. Lyrically, his songs have a way of tapping into a listener’s deepest recesses, and connecting to the bloodstream, to memory, to love, to loss, and the grit of survival. After repeated listens, his songs somehow open up multitudes of perception, and reveal a true poetic genius behind the words.

This gathering of fine central Pennsylvania songwriters and musicians will celebrate the beauty and poetry of Townes Van Zandt’s songs. It will be a night of raw and honest performances in an intimate space perfect for immersing the listener in the words and melodies of a songwriting genius. If you are Townes fan, this night will definitely be a reward of some of his best work and deep cuts.
