Greg Brown in Concert.
For an eclectic musician like Greg Brown, folk music as a description doesn't do any justice to his art. Known for his personal and intimate concerts, Brown's most revealing recordings are live. Greg Brown's smooth, subtle poetics and honest no-frills instrumentation bring to mind great oldies like Woody Guthrie, Muddy Waters, and Leadbelly. At times his songs sound a little like Taj Mahal, while other times they're flat out political folk songs like Pete Seeger. Stoughton Opera House, 381 East Main St.. Event starts at 7:30PM.
