Spend an evening with one of the most enigmatic and celebrated singer-songwriters of the last decade. Oldham’s atmospheric art-folk is borne of an Appalachian netherworld finding its glimmer and glow through gentle guitars, lush harmonies, shimmering folk-tronics, and elegies that slide between spare and sly, lovely and lonely, beautiful and bucolic. A rare live performance by one of today’s most prolific and fiercely creative artists.
Just for those keeping score, these shows are the Thursday during SXSW unfortunately, so if you plan on going next year, you’re SOL for seeing Will at the Walker. Will’s last show in the Twin Cities was at in-store at Roadrunner in 2006, and before that i believe 2001, so he doesn’t get around these parts too often.
