Indie Folk Rock Concert with Bastards of Fine Arts

EC-CHAP Acoustic Artist Series: B*stards of Fine Arts Doors open 7:00pm | Event starts 7:30pm Tickets are $20 advance online (through link) OR $25 cash at the door. B*stards of Fine Arts are a new band with old roots: Matt Keating and Steve Mayone are songwriting veterans, singularly releasing multiple albums and garnering rave reviews from around the world. Both began their careers in the 1990s with bands and as solo artists, sharing the studio and stage with Levon Helm, David Bowie, and Larry Campbell. NPR says of Keating "In a career spanning 20 years, Keating has established himself as one of America's great under the radar songwriters. His Work is rife with clever incisive tunefulness." Americana UK says of Mayone "The stark truth is Mayone is a master songsmith. He crafts and molds his stories eloquently and intelligently and there's not many that you can say that about." Keating and Mayone joined forces in 2014 and began a productive songwriting collaboration. Joined by Jason Mercer on Bass (Ron Sexsmith, Ani DeFranco) and Greg Wieczorek on Drums (Norah Jones, Autumn Defense) they began playing gigs and creating a weekly music video series “New Song Forward Friday”. Their debut album A GOOD SIGN was released in 2022 to early rave reviews. Come enjoy an evening of original acoustic music from these outstanding musicians!
