Craig Bickhardt is a critically acclaimed folk/Americana performing songwriter with major writing credits, a poet’s voice, a virtuoso guitar style, and a veteran’s experience. His songs have found their way onto platinum and Grammy-winning recordings by legends such as Johnny Cash, Martina McBride, Willie Nelson, Ray Charles, B.B. King, Jonathan Edwards, David Wilcox, Pam Tillis, Kathy Mattea, and Alison Krauss. Craig’s voice and songs can be heard in the Academy Award-winning film Tender Mercies, starring Robert Duvall, as well as the films Switchback and At Close Range. Craig and Thom Schuyler co-wrote and produced the classic Christmas album, “Precious Child: The Story of Christmas”. Narrated by Guy Clark, it features guest performances by Vince Gill, Alison Krauss, Janis Ian, Michael Johnson, Dan Seals, Ashley Cleveland, and a host of others. The newly released “Man of Sorrows” Easter album features guest performances by Sam Robbins, Halley Neal, Don Henry, Darrell Scott, Mike Reid, John Cowan, JD Malone, Dallas Malone, Aislinn Landolt, Jack Sundrud, Andrea Zonn, Jesse Terry, and Tony Arata.
Jesse Terry is an internationally touring, award-winning singer-songwriter whose intimacy with audiences, sincerity, and approachability has solidified him as a favorite at festivals and live venues nationwide. Rooted in rhythmic rock & roll and sharp songwriting, “Arcadia” marks a turning point in Jesse Terry’s career. It’s his seventh original album from a man who’s spent much of the past decade on the move, playing 150 shows annually, including bucket-list events such as Bonnaroo and AmericanaFest. “Arcadia” captures both sides of that musical personality, finding room for amplified anthems one moment and intimate moments the next, showcasing just how wide Terry’s reach can be. A grand-prize winner of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, Terry established himself as a top-shelf songwriter and storyteller even before he built his audience as a solo artist. “Arcadia” captures him at his articulate, energetic peak, stocked with songs that turn personal details from Terry’s own life—including the joys and challenges of fatherhood, as well as nostalgic reflections upon his own childhood—into universal rallying cries for anyone looking to turn the challenges of the past into fuel for a better, brighter present.
The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and the concert will begin at 7:00 p.m. There is no charge for admission, but a free-will donation of $25 per person is suggested.
