The Pistol River Concert Association proudly presents will present Eric Taylor at 8 p.m. on Saturday, June 14, at the Pistol River Friendship Hall.

Some of his songs have been performed by people such as Nanci Griffith and Lyle Lovett. Taylor is a sage musician, a lyrical genius and a master of the guitar. He learned intricate blues guitar stylings from music legends Lightnin' Hopkins, Mance Lipscomb and Mississippi Fred McDowell while working at the Family Hand club. Later, he developed his own guitar picking style that would be imitated by many of his contemporaries from the early Houston days, such as Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Robert Earl Keen, Lyle Lovett, Steve Earle and Griffith, a press release said.

In addition to his appearances on Austin City Limits and NPR’s Morning Edition, Taylor has performed on Late Night with David Letterman, NPR’s Mountain Stage and BBC Radio Scotland.

Tickets cost $15 and are available at Mory’s and Words and Pictures in Brookings and at Gold Beach Books in Gold Beach. Tickets also can be reserved online at http://www.pistolriver.com  or by calling (541) 247-2848.
