Performance Date
Friday, May 30
Evening Concert - Kennedy Outdoor Theater
Please welcome for their first visit to the
Festival! Sam Lardner & Barcelona is
everything that a cross-cultural musical experience
should be: artists from different traditions meeting
in a place where everyone shines brighter, the kind
of eclectic collaboration the world needs now more
than ever. Sam is a seasoned veteran of the American
folk and acoustic tradition. He has performed
throughout the U.S. as a solo act, and he has led a
smoking hot country band around Europe for the past
7 years. A full-time resident of Barcelona, he is
often categorized by fans and critics as a member of
the "Why aren't you famous?" club. His voice and
writing are reminiscent of James Taylor in the most
intimate moments, although he is often compared to
Sting when he allows his voice to soar. Sam's guitar
playing is rock-solid, powerful, pure rhythm and
provides the energy and pulse around which his band,
Barcelona, revolves.
