July 26 Iris Dement Friday, 8 PM
Folk/Country music
Sponsored by Boynton Pro Audio
Iris DeMent is one of America’s most celebrated performers and “the best singer I’ve ever heard,” according to Merle Haggard. Her 2012 album Sing the Delta—her first recording of originals in 16 years—is full of plainspoken, fiercely honest, deeply considered songs about matters of faith and questioning. The New Yorker called it “a strong collection of originals that find her keen eye for detail and distinctive high-lonesome wobble intact” and The Boston Globe, “a work of rare, unvarnished grace and power…” Iris, on guitar, piano, and vocals, will be joined by David Jacques on bass, Jon Graboff on pedal steel guitar, Bryan Owings on drums, and Jason Wilber on guitar.
