Towne Crier’s 45th anniversary concert to star Chris Smither, Bacon Brothers

The Bacon Brothers and legendary roots act Chris Smither help the Towne Crier in Beacon celebrate its 45th anniversary on Saturday, February 17 at 8:30 p.m. It may have begun as unpretentious novelty, but through hard work and sweat, the Bacon Brothers have evolved into a reliable, road-tested rock ‘n’ roll outfit, live and in the studio, that just happens to feature a movie star. Smither draws deeply from the blues, American folk music, modern poets and philosophers. Reviewers continue to praise his dazzling guitar work, gravelly voice and songwriting.

Tickets cost $70. For tickets and additional information, visit www.townecriercafe.com. The Towne Crier Café is located at 379 Main Street in Beacon.
