Grayson Capps: Franciosi Brothers Pizza

Grayson Capps and Corky Hughes live at Franciosi Brothers Pizza - July 4th 6-9pm - Oak Creek, Colorado Hailing from South Alabama and spending over a decade in New Orleans, revered singer-songwriter Grayson Capps has found listeners the world over enthralled by his stinging tales of the Southern Gothic. Over the course of seven critically acclaimed studio albums and a cameo appearance in the Golden Globe Award-nominated film ‘A Love Song For Bobby Long,’ one will find stunning depth to Capps’ discography, authenticating Capps as a rare American gem—equal parts country singer, bluesman, rock star, philosopher and poet. JamBase declares, "Southern marvel Grayson Capps is alive and well and slowly building one of the most phenomenal songbooks in America today. If ever there were a cat primed to pick up where Lowell George and John Prine have left off, it's Capps,” while American Songwriter calls him, “one of Americana's most talented and under recognized artists." On tour in support of his latest studio album, Heartbreak, Misery & Death, for this latest recording, the beloved Alabama-based troubadour— joined by his long-standing guitarist Corky Hughes—turns his attention to 16 classic folk songs and traditionals originally written and performed by artists ranging from Doc Watson and Jerry Jeff Walker to Randy Newman and Gordon Lightfoot. Introduced to these timeless touchstones as a child by his father, they'd catalyze Capps' love for music at a young age, while informing the vernacular he so eloquently explores in his own body of work.
