Songwriter Showcase: Joshua Sinclair and Luke Fox
Stephens Auditorium and Reiman Gardens will partner to bring The Goldfinch Room Songwriter Showcase to Reiman Gardens this summer. This partnership brings together singers/songwriters from the Midwest in the Goldfinch Room tradition of storytelling with the stunning beauty of Reiman Gardens. Performances will take place in the Reiman Gardens’ Catalpa Courtyard. Tickets are available athttps://www.center.iastate.edu/gfr-reiman-gardens/
TONIGHT: If Eric Church, Ed Sheeran, and The Black Keys all had a baby together, their musical bundle-of-joy would be Joshua Sinclair. Using only a guitar, a microphone, and a loop pedal, Sinclair performs originals off his past 17 albums as well as putting his own spin on cover tunes.
Luke Fox has been working through the years to carve out his own unique sound, recreating songs of old and taking pride in shedding light on the new with just his guitar, a voice filled with all the character you’d imagine an old crooning storyteller might have, a harmonica, and kick drum.
At each Songwriter Showcase, a local food truck will be on site and beverages will be available for purchase. Outside food and non-alcoholic beverages are allowed into the Gardens. Audience members are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and/or blankets as the seating is on the lawn. If weather proves to be a challenge, the performance will move inside to the Garden Room.
Reiman Garden members receive free admission to all the Songwriter Showcases. For non-members, Stephens Auditorium is offering season passes at $50 and individual show tickets at $15 in advance and $20 day of show. Passes and tickets include free admission to Reiman Gardens on the afternoon of the performance.
