Ramblin’ Jack Elliott is an American icon and folk music legend who has been nominated for five Grammy Awards, and won for Best Traditional Blues Album in 2009 for the disc A Stranger Here. With six decades of performing he has quite a lengthy and noted resume. In his early years he worked the roads as a troubadour alongside his buddy Woody Guthrie and became a huge inspiration for future musicians including Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, Ry Cooder, Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Cash, Tom Waits and just about anybody who has picked up a guitar to play folk and roots music.

Admission is $16.00 advance, $20 day of show and  $25.00 for preferred seating in the first five center rows.
