A Gamble Rogers Showcase featuring Willi Carlisle
presented by Friends of Ponte Vedra Concert Hall
Event Details
Friends of Ponte Vedra Concert Hall presents A Gamble Rogers Showcase featuring Willi Carlisle and special guests Remedy Tree and Aslyn and The Naysayer. This fun musical event launches a partnership between Friends of Ponte Vedra Concert Hall and The Gamble Rogers Festival.
Rising star Willi Carlisle is a poet and folk singer for the people with an extraordinary gift for turning a phrase. Born on the Midwestern plains, Carlisle is a product of the punk to folk music pipeline that's long fueled frustrated young men looking to resist.
NPR has praised Carlisle's music stating “Willi Carlisle speaks his truth…reminiscent of folk singers like Woody Guthrie.” Paper Magazine applauds Carlisle, noting "Willi Carlisle is just the kind of artist that Americana music needs.”
The showcase also features St. Augustine’s own Remedy Tree, Florida's hard driving modern bluegrass band. Remedy Tree combines their roots in old-time and folk music creating a truly unique Americana experience. Aslyn and The Naysayer round out the showcase, with their old time folk and jazz meld against a hard driving rhythmic give and take.
