Country-blues guitarist Eric Hisaw will perform at the Sunflower Theater on Jan. 22 at 7 p.m.
The solo artist from Las Cruces, New Mexico, is known for his impressive heart-felt lyrics that take the audience on a journey of loss, inspiration, movement and recovery.
Playing guitar since he was 13 years old, Hisaw’s sound has been indentified as an “American spin on a Rolling Stones spirit,” with influences such as Joe Ely, Dough Sahm, and Bob Dylan.
Hisaw is a born traveler, a theme reflected in his three albums, which take listeners from the deserts of New Mexico, to the bustling streets of California, and back down the dusty trails of south Texas.
“The slight agony in Hisaw’s voice clues us in to the relevant audience he’s singing for: the honest, working-class hero, struggling to find a bit of peace, maybe some land or a kind woman to rely on,” states his bio.
Local musician Moe Cooley, from the Moetones, is currently touring with Hisaw and will join him on stage.
Doors and cash bar open at 6:15. Tickets are $15, online, remaining tickets $18 at the door. Available at www.sunflowertheatre.org. The Sunflower Theatre is located at Main and Market Street in Cortez, Colorado, next to KSJD Community Radio.
