Hickory Ridge Concert Series: Bucky Halker to perform at September Hickory Ridge Concert
- Location: ISM Dickson Mounds Museum, Lewistown
- Date: Saturday, September 20, 2008, 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
Songwriter and guitarist Bucky Halker will return to the Hickory Ridge Concert Series to perform a wide selection of original songs as well as songs of the dustbowl era on Saturday September 20th. A veteran performer, Halker has extensive recording and touring credits, including several CDs, movie soundtracks, and European tours.
A native of Ashland, Wisconsin currently residing in Chicago, Halker's songs draw extensively on his experiences on the road, his Midwest populist roots, and his strong interest in American history. He is a recognized master of the music of Woody Guthrie while elements of country, folk, blues, and rock all make their way into his original songs, drawing comparisons to Steve Earle and John Mellencamp. The Chicago Tribune called Halker "one of Chicago's most interesting songwriters" and folk-music magazine Dirty Linen described him as "incredibly appealing" and "a great singer." Bucky's appearance is supported by a grant from the Illinois Humanities Council. Learn more at his web site https://www.buckyhalker.com/
