Tom Brosseau Concert - January 14, 2006
Clarke House Concerts
There are still a few seats left for Tom's concert on Saturday. Don't
miss this chance to see Tom up close.
"Sung in a voice moved by history, the songs on What I Mean to
Say Is Goodbye sound more like dusty relics than some recent studio
product. Brosseau's words are heavy, and his songs, for all their
simplicity, are giants..." -Dru Allen, Santa Barbara Independent Online

Tom Brosseau
Saturday, January 14, 2006
8 pm
$10
w/ Gregory Page and Angela Correa
"Brosseau has captured the sparse intimacy of old-school country
and folk: You could play some of his less-embelllished songs and
easily convince someone they were recorded 50 years ago." (Time Out
NY)

About Tom (from http://tombrosseau.com)
Tom Brosseau, a North Dakota native, sings songs of lost love and
poetic observation that shimmer like aural tintypes. His songwriting
comes from such diverse influences as Nick Drake, Cole Porter, and
Woody Guthrie. The ingredient in this mix that will flat out give you
chills is Brosseau's voice, which sounds eerily like a high-lonesome
reincarnation of Jeff Buckley.
Brosseau stands out from the populous independent song-slinger pack.
With his high, limber and sometimes vibrato-colored voice, he seems to
float between masculine and feminine vocal qualities. Brosseau's
playing elicits a hushed reverence from admiring listeners blessed with
the intimacy and emotional immediacy of his live performances. He is a
cherished treasure in Los Angeles, and a fixture at the revered club
Largo. He makes instant connections with audiences everywhere he plays,
and has managed to sell out of his two self-released records.
