Clarence Ewing: The Million Year Trip writesThe Old Town School of Folk Music Welcomes Robbie Fulks on Saturday the 6th

He may have been born in York, PA and spent some time in Virginia and North Carolina, but Robbie Fulks’ home is Chicago. He’s been a teacher at the Old Town School of Folk Music and worked with many Folk and Alt-Country musicians around town for decades. His latest record Gone Away Backward was released on Bloodshot records last year and is the 12th solo release for a man who has firmly established himself as a creative force who makes music that doesn’t fit into easy categories but will satisfy any roots music fan with an appetite for melody and humor.

Fulks returns to the Old Town School on Saturday, Sept. 6 for an 8:00pm show at the Gary and Laura Maurer Concert Hall, 4544 N Lincoln Ave. He’ll be joined by fellow life-traveler and self-proclaimed “Grammy Award-losing drummer” Gerald Dowd, who’s also collaborated with a whole lot of talented folks. You can buy tickets here. Come on down and get yourself an earful.
