Rick Shea (with Fash Stewart) Independence Day Special

Event Details

As a sideman, Shea has worked with everyone from roots rock kingpin Dave Alvin to folk chanteuse Katy Moffatt to indie rock legends R.E.M. As a member of Dave Alvin's band, "The Guilty Men", Rick toured the U.S. and Europe for 6 years as an opener and multi-instrumental sideman, playing everywhere from Hollywood to Austin to Madison Square Garden and played on most of Dave's albums during that time including the Grammy winning Public Domain.

"He has a storyteller's sense of detail and more, a sense for which details to leave out," Jim Washburn/OC Weekly

After three solo albums and two collaborations, "Trouble and Me" (2002) with fiddler/singer Brantley Kearns which Dirty Linen called "stunningly good" and an album of hard country duets with Patty Booker, "Our Shangri LA" (2004), called "nothing short of a masterpiece" by Shaun Dale in Cosmic Debris , Shea says he's enjoying playing again as a solo artist.

"The Bull" Fash StewartCult country-folk singer/songwriter, Fash Stewart has been variously described as "a rising star in the country scene" and "a poet in the mould of Leonard Cohen".

Whilst you can expect songs of humour about roosters, fish, dogs and such like, you'll find that Fash also has a more serious side with a repertoire of country ballads, love songs and train songs.

With over 20 dates lined up for his Europe wide summer tour, and over 10,000 kilometres to cover, you'd suspect that Fash is a little crazy!

Join him on his journey for the night and let him take you on a journey with his songs.
