JASON RINGENBERG with support from DELAWARE
	Wednesday May 4 | The John Hewitt | 8.00pm

While Gram Parsons may have the distinction of being the granddaddy of the alt-country genre, Illinois farm boy Jason Ringenberg is the man who brought it to the stages of the world with a vengeance. With Jason & the Scorchers’, a heady mix of rock & roll energy, punk swagger and grit, and country music’s elegant excesses won them fans worldwide.

A major concert attraction all over the globe, the Scorchers disbanded in 1990 and Ringenberg became a solo performer. The Scorchers reunited in the mid-’90s, issuing five studio albums and a live recording. Ringenberg did not give up his solo career, however, and recorded the simple, haunting acoustic masterpiece A Pocketful of Soul on his own label in 2000. 2004 saw the release of Ringenberg’s brilliant solo set, the politically themed Empire Builders.

Local act Deleware’s cool psychedelic, country folk sound are impressing a lot of people right now - especially us.
