Local acoustic rock guitarist Clay Hawkins and bassist Andrew Robertson will play the Willits Community Theatre on Saturday, May 18 at 7:30 p.m. Blending rapid-fire finger-style slide guitar and honest, heartfelt songwriting, Hawkins creates his own unique brand of acoustic rock. With long time co-conspirator Robertson on the upright bass, the pair perform what's been described as, "Late Night, Boot Stomping, Road Music from the Heart", or, as the band calls it, "Mountain House."
Count in the influences of Neil Young, John Fahey, The Black Keys, Nick Cave and even Radiohead for the duo's well-worn, lush style. Whether it's backyards, back alleys, barns, barrooms and banquet halls, these boys have been there at the center of whatever crowd had formed. Clay's music unfolds naturally, taking the listener on a ride that is entirely his own, while this pair hang their hats in Mendocino County and count themselves lucky.
Tickets are $20 and available online at: http://www.wctperformingartscenter.org or at the door. Season sponsors for Willits Community Theatre are the Community Foundation of Mendocino County, NC Financial Group, Sparetime Supply, and KZYX Radio.
