Webb Wilder in Concert June 19, 2010

There are Roots-Rockers, and then there's Webb Wilder. He has described the music he makes as, "Rock for Roots fans and Roots for Rock fans." In essence: Rock and Roll. There’s nothing new about combining R & B, Rock and Roll, Country, Blues, Pop and Rock. The Rolling Stones and the Beatles proved that it can yield marvelous and diverse results.

The self-proclaimed "Last Of The Full Grown Men" hasn’t limited his creativity to the music business. His critically acclaimed indie films made him a cult hero and led to a major motion picture (Peter Bogdonavich’s "The Thing Called Love," Paramount). He’s done guest appearances on others' albums (Ben Folds, Jason Ringenberg, Farmer Jason, William Shatner, Maura O’Connell), a duo of companion CDs for the animated Disney movie "Cars," and voice-overs on countless radio commercials. He even did a stint as one of America’s FIRST Satellite DJs on XM Radio for four and a half years.

In concert, Wilder spikes the punch between songs with potent doses of rustic wit and character, transcendent mediations, incantations, and codes by which to live. Webb will be performing as "Webb-Plus-One" tonight, a special, personal acoustic show with a Beatnick member.
