Music in the Stacks Concert

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.

This month's concert features Larry Peterson, PK Gregory and Stephy Leigh.

Larry Peterson is a singer-songwriter who has lived in Arizona since 1999.  His songwriting echos the influences of Bob Dylan, the Beatles, John Prine, Hank Williams and many more.  His goal is to create songs that are profound in their simplicity.

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.

Stephy Leigh is an Americana female singer-songwriter based out of Prescott, Arizona. She captivates audiences with her soulful country and indie-folk songs, weaving themes of love, loss, and life in the American West. Her whimsical spritely spirit combined with an often intentional juxtaposition of the dark side and the light make for an umami music that is both unique and genuine, yet at times, emotionally perplexing. Some may label her style as genre-bending, but if you look closer, her genre is merely the sound of her layers when they play hide-and-seek together in the woods. This is 100% homegrown American music. When she's not performing as her duo with PK Gregory or writing songs, Stephy loves spending time training with her dog Dottie and exploring the natural beauty of her home in the Granite Dells of Prescott, Arizona.
