TR Ritchie in Concert PDF Print E-mail

On Tuesday, August 17, the Music Alliance would like to introduce Wallowa County music lovers to the concept of the House Concert by inviting the guy who wrote the book on the topic, TR Ritchie. Yes, literally. He wrote the book. It’s called BRING IT ON HOME: A Simple Guide To Producing House Concerts and you can order it from his website www.trritchie.com.

In concert Ritchie is spontaneous, engaging and spirited. He serves up his music with technical grace and unwinds the narrative of his life and times in words and song. By turns witty, insightful and philosophical, the natural storyteller in Ritchie delivers a gem of a performance every time out. Armed with an acoustic guitar, a keen eye for observation and an ear for language, Ritchie plies his trade. No bells or whistles. What you see is what you get: first-rate songs, written with a poet's love of language and a storyteller's turn of phrase, performed with unapologetic enthusiasm by a player at the top of his game.
