Coming to the historic and intimate Nelson Odeon stage, the Dust Poets bring their dynamic five-piece acoustic folk-pop with roots deep in the prairie for a Sunday afternoon show. Performing the original songs of songwriter Murray D. Evans, the band pokes affectionate fun at themselves and the world around them while creating their own irreverent brand of acoustic music. Well traveled, but small town at heart, the Dust Poets tackle social ills, modern oddities, and the joys of life with ease and pure originality.
Musically restless and stylistically adept, the Dust Poets create arrangements that wander among different genres, including folk, swing, pop, country, and ragtime. The band’s all-acoustic line-up of guitar, upright bass, accordion, mandolin, clarinet, and percussion, plus extraordinary four part vocals, allow the band to create a diverse and entertaining stage show. With a new recording due this spring, their last release, Lovesick Town, was labeled a “masterpiece” by the Toronto Star.
Tickets are only $15 at the door for this special matinee show or can be ordered online at www.nelsonodeon.com.
