eTown welcomes Americana virtuosos Tony Furdado and Luke Price for a full concert on Thursday, May 1st.
About Tony Furtado:
Americana Roots via a multi-instrumentalist with a dizzying musical toolbox, Tony Furtado is an evocative and soulful singer, a wide-ranging songwriter and a virtuoso multi-instrumentalist adept on banjo, cello-banjo, slide guitar and baritone ukulele who mixes and matches sounds and styles with the flair of a master chef (he’s also an accomplished sculptor, but that’s another story).
“…true talent doesn’t need categories.” -Relix Magazine
“…a major musical force without doubt. He has his black belt in voice, bottleneck guitar and his banjo playing scares the crap out of me.” -David Lindley
About Luke Price:
Luke Price is a multi-instrumentalist performer, composer and studio musician based in Portland, OR. He has his roots in American fiddling and swing traditions, which have influenced his rhythm, taste, and style as they have spread into Soul, Jazz, Pop and Americana. Luke brings a unique voice to any music he plays, whether he’s on the fiddle, electric guitar or singing.
Growing up in Boise, Idaho, Luke began competing in fiddle contests and playing around the country. He’s won a plethora of contests, awards and scholarships. He is the current, and 5-time Grand National Fiddle Champion. His love for rhythm and improvisation born out of these traditional music styles led him to Boston, MA to attend The Berklee College of Music, where he met his now wife and musical partner, Rachael Price, to form their Soul Pop band, “Love, DEAN.” After graduation, they moved to Portland, OR where they continue to play, teach and write.
Luke has played with a variety of amazing musicians, and always tends to bring some good times to any music he is making. He’s known for his taste, rhythm, tight harmonies and inventive ideas. He has toured, played and recorded with folks including: Tony Furtado, Scott Law, Jesse Harper (of Love Canon), Stephen Malkmus, Lee Ann Womack, Tristan and Tashina Clarridge, Simon Chrisman, Ben Krakauer, Matt Hartz and John Hermann.
