LionTone Productions to Present Performance of Paul Simon's GRACELAND at Town Hall Theater, 8/30

Middlebury's LionTone Productions is proud to announce an All-Star Performance of Paul Simon's classic album, GRACELAND.

The concert will be Friday, August 30th at the Town Hall Theater.

The show will feature some of Vermont's most exciting musicians interpreting the breakthrough album in its entirety, along with some other favorites from the songwriter's iconic catalog. This all-star group first got together for a one-off, sold-out performance in March, as part of the acclaimed 'Select Sessions' at Burlington's Signal Kitchen.

According to band leader and lead guitarist Clint Bierman (The Grift, Necessary Means), "to hear these songs played by this incredible collection of musicians is such a thrill. The genius of this album is that the songs feel so good and so effortless, and yet the arrangements and polyrhythms are so intricate." Along with Bierman, the band features some of Vermont's very best musicians, including Russ Lawton (Trey Anastasio Band), Will Evans (Barefoot Truth), Rich Price (The Sweet Remains), Joshua Panda, Brian McCarthy, Linda Little, Peter Day (The Grift), Jeff Vallone (The Grift), Leon Campos (The Grift) and Jane Boxall.

The concert is on Friday, August 30th at 8 pm at Middlebury's Town Hall Theater. Tickets are $20 and may be purchased at 802 382-9222,www.townhalltheater.org, at the THT Box Office (Mon-Sat, Noon-5pm) or at the door.
