LEWISTOWN
-- Joe Filisko and Eric Noden, a blues and roots music duo,
will appear at Dickson Mounds Museum on Oct. 20 as part of the
Hickory Ridge Concert Series. The performance begins at 7:30 p.m.
|
In
describing their performances, with Filisko playing harmonica and
Noden on guitar and vocals, their
website says:
"The
blues and roots music duo -- Joe Filisko and Eric Noden make an
unforgettable impression. Their jaw-dropping virtuosity enables them
to create more layers of sound and feeling than most full bands can
summon, and both are high-energy, ultra-rhythmic performers. The
collective result -- in both their live shows and their recordings
-- are charged, dramatic performances that are simultaneously
powerful and sophisticatedly subtle."
The bio page on their website includes the following:
"Joe Filisko is a
master of all the classic blues harmonica styles. As Dennis
Gruenling of Blues Review says, "Joe Filisko could be the best
prewar blues harmonica stylist in the world today." … Filisko is not
only an accomplished performer, but a skilled harmonica craftsman as
well. His highly prized work and expertise has earned him the rare
honor of having his name on one of Hohner's instruments -- the
just-released specialty harmonica, the Thunderbird."
"Eric Noden is a
master bluesman in his own right. Deeply rooted in the music of 20's
& 30's blues pioneers, Eric Noden's percussive guitar work, timeless
songwriting and well-traveled blues vocals have earned the respect
of audiences, critics, and musicians worldwide. … Eric Noden sings,
shouts and stomps while conjuring old spirits from the strings of
his acoustic guitar. Varying his approach from song to song, Noden
draws from a deep well of American music that fuels his high energy
performances. His right hand thumb often lays down a driving bass
figure that weaves around intricate melodic parts played with his
fingers."
