Show You Should Know: Lyle Brewer with Hans Williams at The Space on Main (6/22 Bradford, VT)

It isn’t often that nationally touring-Berklee professor-guitar virtuoso’s come through the small town of Bradford, Vermont. At least not since the close of the much missed “Middle Earth” club. But this Saturday (and hopefully for many other Saturday’s in the future) that will happen when Boston’s Lyle Brewer will perform at The Space on Main.

Brewer has long been a staple of the Boston music community. Performing alongside a countless number of acts at legendary clubs and in recent years really taking off with his solo instrumental career unleashing 7 records, some of the most recent of which we refer to as “emotive, moving and poignant”. He is an artist who is able to say so much without speaking words, but rather painting intimate and extravagant pictures with his fingers and 6 strings.

 

Lyle will be joined by local young talent Hans Williams. Williams may be just kickstarting his musical path but already has a steady following and found his voice. Soulful and crisp. Hints of R&B and folk infused his voice and playing. A sway and vibe that is immediately infectious.
