| | MICAH DALTON / TYLER LYLE
Show time: 7:30 pm / Doors open: 6:30 pm
General admission advanced tickets: $10
General admission & meal combo: $25
At the door: $12
Table of 4 reserved seats: $50 |  | Paste Magazine writes of MICAH DALTON's music, "He may sound like an earthier, cleverer Ben Harper, but musically Dalton suggests mid-'80s Prince in the way he defiantly straddles so many styles, requiring an enormous musical arsenal to get his point across. These juxtapositions of sounds and style rarely feel forced or even deliberate, courtesy of Dalton's soulful vocals and incisive songwriting." He's touring in support of his latest CD entitled "Pawn Shop."
Listen: | | | TYLER LYLE blends rootsy americana with the gypsy folk and African rhythms. His songs include characters like Charlie Chaplain and Oedipus, lovable alcoholics, blind painters, revolutionaries, dreamers, drifters, pesky preachers and those who are human to the utmost. He has shared the stage with the likes of acts like Besides Daniel, Wild Sweet Orange, Allie Moss, Bess Rogers (of Ingrid Michaelson), Tova Rinah and the Way Home, and more. He released his second album earlier this year. | | | |
