Described as “one of the finest singer-songwriters in America” by National Public Radio’s Larry Groce, guests can expect some stories to be told through Brodsky’s down-to-earth music, his dry wit, his social commentary, and his lively stage presence.
He draws on the sounds of the mountain music performed in the western part of North Carolina, where he currently lives, strumming out traditional folk music of all types. Many of his songs tend to poke fun at road rage, political corruption, and mischief that he caused as a young lad. Some of them have been recorded by the likes of Sara Hickman, David Wilcox, Kathy Mattea, and Chuck Pyle.
Talking about how the event could benefit the museum, its director, Erica Maniez, said:
“We’re hoping to draw in some of Issaquah’s youngest residents, and get them engaged with local history through the kinds of hands-on activities that we’re able to offer during our Heritage Day celebration.”
The concert will be held tomorrow, July 11, from 7:30 pm to 10:00 pm at the Historic Train Depot located at 78 First Avenue NE in Issaquah, Washington. Tickets are priced at $25 each. To find out more, or to purchase tickets, please visit the Issaquah History Museums website or call 425-241-4215 during business hours.
