JEZ LOWE, one of the most popular and respected performers
on the international folk scene, comes to the Cherry Tree this Sunday,
March 23, 2003, 7:30 PM, in the Parish Hall of St. Mary's Church of
Hamilton Village, 3916 Locust Walk on the University of Pennsylvania
campus in West Philadelphia.
$12 advance / $15 gate
Members of the Philadelphia Folksong Society are entitled to purchase
tickets at the show at the advance price.
By the time Jez Lowe recorded his first solo album in 1980, he'd
already spent almost a decade playing and absorbing the traditional
music of his native Northeast England, an area rich in working-class
values, with a wealth of songs and music unique to that corner of the
British Isles. Born in 1955 into an Irish family, in the coal-mining
community of Easington in County Durham, Lowe's early interest in pop
music steered him into a fascination with blues and folk, especially
Bob Dylan, John Mayall, Big Bill Broonzy, and Woody Guthrie. A chance
visit to a local folk club in 1973 to hear Martin Carthy led him down
another path, and by the mid-70's he had begun to play a mixture of
Dylan, traditional, contemporary, and original material. With 14
full-length recordings to his credit, numerous tracks on
compilation projects, three songbooks, and a consistently full
international touring calendar, Jez Lowe has proven himself to be one
of the busiest and most popular and respected performers on the
international folk scene.
