$2 Tuesday: Austin 'Walkin' Cane' and Megan Slankard
Tuesday, June 30, 2009. Evans Amphitheater, 8pm.
General admission $2 (no discounts). [buy tickets]
Austin 'Walkin' Cane' stirs up a blues gumbo repertoire that blends jazz, folk, soul & rock ‘n’ roll. Outstanding guitar, slide guitar and dobro skills, in conjunction with powerhouse vocals and a lot of hootin' and hollerin', have made Austin one of 'Cleveland's favorite frontmen.'
Edgy alt-rocker Megan Slankard forges a distinctive sound with her smooth and courageous vocal dynamics (reminiscent of Alanis Morissette), and her intelligent and diverse song styles. Slankard and her music have appeared on TLC's 'What Not To Wear,' which generated purchases by viewers that placed her second CD, Freaky Little Story on the #5 spot on Amazon.com CD sales charts.
