West Falls Center for the Arts and the Buffalo Music Coalition present
Captain Tom and the Hooligans performing “We Shall Overcome” Bruce
Springsteen: The Seeger Sessions, on Friday, June 13th at 7pm.Captain Tom and the extended version of The Hooligans, a lot of extra
Hooligans, will present the full album, and more, in a very special debut
performance of the show. Accordion, fiddle, banjo, upright bass, guitars,
drums, keyboards, percussion and a lot of horns.
In 2006, Springsteen released an album recorded in three days, with no
rehearsals, that captured the glorious sounds of American music: Rock,
Folk, Dixieland, Gospel, French Quarter, Honky-Tonk and Blues. All the
songs are traditional, public domain songs that had been done by American
folk music icon Pete Seeger.
Bruce said, “It was a carnival ride, the sound of surprise and the pure joy of
playing. Street corner music, parlor music, tavern music, wilderness music,
circus music, church music, gutter music.”
It’s all here: recipes, prayers, promises, fears, hopes & hollers! This is
Americana music at its finest.
