The five members of Long Road boast that they collectively have more than 200 years of professional music experience. That means that some of them were actually around for the folk revival of the ’60s, the music that underpins their performances. They reach back to the days of the hootenanny when young people, fired up by their rediscovery of traditional folk, blues, bluegrass and other indigenous American music, began to reshape that music for contemporary ears.
Long Road travels back to that time of ferment, digging into the folk roots of everything from ’50s rockabilly to late ’60s psychedelic rock in their vast repertoire, which also includes a few originals. Among them they play 20, mostly acoustic, instruments, allowing them to travel through an array of folk-based genres.
They’ll be performing at the Music Box Supper Club.
Admission is $7.
