Sep 15 - 7:30pm - 8:30pm

Some musical meetings feel less like “collaborations” and more like conversations waiting to happen. This rare collaborative run with Steve Dawson and Joachim Cooder is exactly that: two artists sharing the stage for an entire night, swapping songs, backing each other up, and following the music wherever it leads. There’s no strict division of sets here, just an open, intuitive flow built on listening, trust, and the joy of discovery.

With Dawson on a rotating cast of guitars and lap steels, and Cooder anchoring the groove with mbira and percussion, the evening unfolds as a living dialogue. Songs from each artist’s catalog weave together, traditions blur, and familiar material takes on new shapes. And somewhere along the way, who knows what forgotten gems or spontaneous moments might emerge.

In Joachim’s hands, rhythm becomes melody, and in Steve’s, strings become storytelling tools. Together, they create a space where structure meets spontaneity where songs can stretch, shift, and breathe. This tour isn’t about polished perfection; it’s about shared energy, real-time creativity, and the magic that happens when two seasoned musicians meet in the middle of the music. Each night is a one-of-a-kind experience – equal parts roots, rhythm, and revelation.

The event starts at 7.30 pm.
End time is an estimate.
