About the event
An unforgettable evening of soulful, island-inspired sounds from slack key guitar master Stephen Inglis and renowned pedal steel guitar master Barry Sless in the laid-back atmosphere of Brew Co's Brewer's Corner Stage. This groundbreaking collaboration brings together two distinct musical traditions: Inglis’s mastery of Hawaiian slack key guitar (he’s a recipient of the prestigious Ki Hōʻalu Legacy Award) and Sless’s pioneering pedal steel work that has graced stages with Grateful Dead founders Bob Weir and Phil Lesh.
The performance promises high level artistry and an intimate evening of original compositions, Grateful Dead and Bob Dylan interpretations, and dynamic improvisations that span genres from traditional Hawaiian to Psychedelic Americana.
The performance is a fundraiser for local community public radio station KHNS. Tix $15 advance; $20 door (available soon). All ages.
