An evening with one of the world’s finest acoustic and slide guitarists
Guitar legend and songwriter, Martin Simpson, brings his newest album Some Kind of Jubilee to WMC with Liz Hanks on cello and Louis Campbell on guitar. This record marks a remarkable milestone—50 years since the release of Simpson’s debut album, Golden Vanity (1976)—and, in his own words, captures “my best work to date.”
