Josh Harty to play the Pearl

June12, 2013 |
 As
Europeans discovered and Midwesterners have
known, it doesn't get more Americana than Josh
Harty. His father, both a preacher and the
sheriff of his boyhood small town in North
Dakota, was also Harty's musical mentor.
"I was either going to heaven or to jail," Harty
muses.
That kind of humor, that hell-bound hope, is in
the center of Harty's music- music captured on
his latest album, "Nowhere," polished in
performances in Europe, and now ready for a year
long cross-country American tour in support of
Nowhere.
Those in the upper Midwest who have watched
Harty grow since his move to Madison in 2004
know what he can make happen live. His warm,
woeful voice is buoyed by charismatic guitar
playing. He can hush a bar room. When he lets
his guitar do the talking audiences are carried
all the way in. Harty will capture your radio or
television audience the same way he commands a
bar room. And his live shows prove that good
story telling combined with journeyman
musicianship is as American as music gets.
Meet the heart of Americana. Join us at The
Pearl Theater to experience Josh Harty at 7 p.m.
Saturday, June 22. Doors and the Pearl Cafe open
at 6 p.m.
Tickets are $10 general and $9 for Pearl Theater

look forward to seeing you at The Pearl Theater!
