Event Details
Music in the Stacks is a showcase of local and national musicians who entertain regularly in Northern Arizona. There are 3-5 different performers during the show, with a rotating variety each month.
May's concert features Eric Douglas, PK Gregory and Rob Roberson.
Eric Douglas is an Arizona singer/songwriter who combines contemporary folk, classic rock, and Texas country to tell stories of people finding their place in the world...for better or worse. Eric paints an American landscape, with songs from the Southwestern desert, the Great Plains, and the open road. He is an engaging and dynamic performer, balancing emotional and thoughtful songs with a message of hope and a lighthearted touch.
Careening wildly around the alt-country, folk and Americana genres like Johnny Cash on a hot-rodded Vespa, PK Gregory’s music is rooted in tradition, but with a kind of eclecticism and idiosyncratic storytelling bent that is more in line with Warren Zevon's cheerful misanthropy than any old-fashioned sentimentality. With elements of folk, western swing, honky-tonk, and blues, and taking on a wide range of subjects from religion and sex to the zombie apocalypse, the songs are driven forward by swirling fingerpicked guitar/bass, harmonica and an immediately-compelling baritone that calls to mind a young Cash singing Zevon's "Excitable Boy" in some alternative-universe's honkabilly heaven.
Robby Roberson plays and sings original stories based in reality and imagination, happiness and sorrow. His songs are delivered through multiple stringed instruments with an original vocal style, which combine to create an urban acoustic music atmosphere. Robby’s songwriting has not gone unnoticed across Arizona – he is the winner of the Stefan George Memorial Songwriter Contest at the Tucson Folk Festival in 2013 and a finalist in the band contest at the Pickin in the Pines Music Festival in Flagstaff. Robby lives in Tempe, Arizona and has performed regularly at venues, festivals, and benefits throughout the state since 2005.
