Tony Furtado Trio Play the Paradise in Paonia
Sunday January 17th (7:30)
The Paradise Theatre
Very few musicians of any stripe so personify a musical genre as completely as Tony Furtado embodies Americana roots music. Tony is an evocative and soulful singer, a wide-ranging songwriter and a virtuoso multi-instrumentalist adept on banjo, cello-banjo, slide guitar and baritone ukulele. He has collaborated with such master musicians as Alison Krauss, Jerry Douglas, Tim O’Brien, Stuart Duncan, Kelly Joe Phelps and Mike Marshall. Tony has appeared at prestigious music festivals like Telluride Bluegrass Festival, High Sierra Music Festival, Jazz Aspen, Kerrville Folk Festival, Strawberry Music Festival and countless others. “I love playing live,” he says. “All my energy is focused on the love of playing music and rolling with the moment. It’s a give and take from the audience to the stage, and back. And the music that is created is something that otherwise might not occur without that flow.”
With over a dozen recordings, Tony enthusiastically describes his newest CD,The Bell, as “the most personal of my career.” It represents a return to his banjo-playing roots, original songs with weighty themes as the loss of his father, the birth of his son and his own creative rebirth with the launch of his new record label YousayFurtadoRecords. This is the first album in a long time on which Tony had complete artistic control over the project. The trio will be complete with national fiddle champion Luke Price, Telluride native Charlie Mertens on acoustic bass this Sunday, January 17th at The Paradise Theatre in Paonia.
