Tony Furtado Featuring Fiddleman Luke Price at The Homefront Music Series

The Homefront Music Series is ecstatic to present Tony Furtado, October 3, 2014 at 8 p.m. at the Wynfield Forest Clubhouse featuring national fiddle champion Luke Price. Russell Howard will open for Tony and Luke.

Tony Furtado is an indie record label's dream artist. He has lived primarily on the road for the last two decades, fusing bluegrass, country, rock, blues, jazz, and folk (both American and European) on his expanding instrument arsenal of banjo, guitar, slide guitar and voice. He is gregarious, engaging and entertaining, on and off stage. He's been called a genius on banjo and slide guitar (winning the 1987 and 1991 National Banjo Competition) and his own creative interpretation-hybrid of Americana and indie rock is captivating. Onstage, whether playing with a band or solo, he owns the room, mixing stories of his travels with musicianship that is off the charts. Off stage, Tony admits to a "cupcake addiction" that he feeds with his "super secret cupcake recipe -- shhhh!" In addition to his outstanding musicianship, Tony is also a talented sculptor whose work has homes on Etsy.com and Amazon.com.

Russell Howard, who graduated from Davidson College and lives in the Lake Norman area, opened previously at our music series for Howie Day.
