On Saturday, August 8, Athens guitarist Rick Fowler brings his acoustic band to David's 105 Listening Room. Billboard has described Fowler's playing as carrying "understated intensity" and "a dark soulful power," and his songwriting the same way, bleak subject matter delivered with a self-effacing humor that keeps it from getting too heavy.
Fowler leads on guitar and vocals, backed by bassist Greg Veale, drummer Deane Quinter, and guitarist Michael Doke, who grew up in Monroe and will be playing this show in his hometown. Together they've built a career playing alongside musicians from R.E.M., Widespread Panic, and blues artist Beverly "Guitar" Watkins, and that experience shows in a set that's tight without being polished into something generic.
David's 105 is an intimate, seated listening room with 90 seats, so there's not a bad spot in the house and the band is close enough to see clearly from anywhere.
This night is for blues fans, guitar players, and anyone local who wants to see a hometown musician play a room built for this kind of show.
