May 11: House Concert, Malcolm Holcombe

“Haunted country, acoustic blues and rugged folk all meet [here]…” —Rolling Stone

Holcombe has a knack for exploring the depths of the working-class life, good and bad. He is a storyteller, and his songs have history. “Papermill Man” in particular captures the gritty banalities of mill work in a vivid, descriptive way: “Smoke blowing up in the air/One room shack/One room school…Sawmill sawdust stuck in your lungs/And your head can’t hear the thunder,” he sings, transporting us to this one-horse town that sucks its people in. Holcombe has always been a classic troubadour, a little rough around the edges, no frills and as authentic as it gets.
