I'm having a special event at my place and would like to extend the invite to any AKers who might want to attend. I think this is going to be a memorable event!
Rob Fetters is an amazing guitarist and songwriter from Cincinnati who I have followed since the 80s. He had several bands that were regionally famous, The Raisins, then psychodots. Adrian Belew (of King Crimson) produced The Raisins' first album (Adrian also played with Zappa, Bowie, the Talking Heads, Laurie Anderson and Nine Inch Nails). Fetters and two other members of the Raisins joined up with Belew to form The Bears, who toured nationally in the 80s and again in the 90s. Fetters has a home studio and records all the instruments himself on some of his solo work.
I happened to be in the right place at the right time: Rob is passing through to the PNW and doing house concerts along the way. The show will be a 'career retrospective', with backing tracks for a full band sound, on what Rob calls a specially tweaked audio system.
His sound could be described as progressive rock. Plays a Strat with liberal use of the whammy bar. Lots of stuff on YouTube, here's one of my favorites:
Rob says you don't have to know all his stuff to have a good time at this show. He is a consummate entertainer and you will have fun whether you want to or not!
Concert is Sat. Sept. 21, 7-10 pm on the patio at The Garage Mahal, our shop in the woods 15 mins north of Columbia.
If you'd like to come please post or PM me so I can keep track of numbers and I'll PM you directions. Hoping to have 40-50 there.
Admission is $20.
There will be brats, veggie burgers and potluck sides. We have camping space if anyone wants to stay over.
I also have thousands of board feet of locally harvested/salvaged hardwood lumber, so if you're thinking of a woodworking project, let me know and I'll have ready whatever you might be interested in looking at.
Flyer attached.
