GREENFIELD – Chad Elliott and the Redemptions will take the Warren Cultural Center stage 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 2.
Elliott is a WCC favorite, and this time brings his full band as they prepare for release of their new album “Rest Heavy” on Aug. 11.
The show promises a bit of the old and new, including selections from Elliott’s 2017 album “Ringgold” recorded at his grandfather’s farm near Leon. “Rest Heavy” was recorded at the famed Sun Records in Memphis.
This is Elliott’s 22nd album, and he is credited with more than 1,000 songs in his career. He has also earned a reputation as a painter and sculptor and his latest book “Rumble and Flash” is now on the shelves.
Elliott takes his musical roots of folk, rock, soul and blues, and forges them with lyrics from a life lived in waves of ups and downs. Fatherhood, divorce, homelessness, success, love and loss, even the Iowa landscape and weather, all serve as fertile ground for his music. He has shared the stage with artists that include Tom Paxton, Loudon Wainwright III, Greg Brown, Bo Ramsey and others.
Tickets to Chad Elliott and the Redemptions are $15 and are available at www.warrenculturalcenter.com or through Ed & Eva's on the Greenfield Square.
This is the final show of the 2017-18 WCC Performance Series. Look for information coming soon on the 2018-19 performance series beginning in September.
