recording legend is back at Schooner Wharf Bar!
PAUL COTTON BAND
Featuring Paul Cotton from POCO
“I
absolutely dare you to listen to this CD* without a lump in your throat
or longing for the beach, high tide, and your sails in the air....”
–Mark T. Gould / Soundwaves Magazine
Multi gold and platinum recording artist Paul Cotton is back on our
stage with his band for two very special “don’t miss” performances.
Country rock band Poco’s dominant songwriter, lead vocalist and lead
guitarist, Paul’s 45-year career has yielded countless albums and
accolades, and his staying power is endless.
Born in the deep South and raised on the south side of Chicago, the
soulful influences of his roots can still be heard in his songs. Still
waters run deep, and this quiet man writes songs about love and longing,
painting pictures with his brilliant story telling. And his guitar sound
has been described as “Big Cowboy”.
With local musicians Marty Stonely, Russ Skabudda, Joel Nelson, and Greg
Shandley, this band will perform favorites like Poco’s “Heart of the
Night” and “Crazy Love”, plus originals, Trop Rock, and New
Orleans-influenced tunes with a southern tinge.
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear “a legend in his own write”!
