Charlie Hunter & Lucy Woodward (USA)
AMERICAN SPRING
OUTSIDE TERRACE OPEN AT 3 PM
CLUB AT 8 PM
The 14th year of the American Spring Festival will present Charlie Hunter and Lucy Woodward. Hunter and Woodward are known for excelling in different genres, yet the two veteran musicians were crossing paths for years before pairing up for touring in 2018. With a career spanning 16 years and almost 20 albums, virtuoso guitarist Charlie Hunter has worked with the likes of Norah Jones, Mos Def, John Mayer, and D’Angelo. He is widely considered the authority on the seven- and eight-string guitar and continues to stun audiences with his ability to bust out tasty bass lines, melodic leads and swinging rhythms. Lucy Woodward has been blazing her own path since the 2003 release of her Top 40 radio hit “Dumb Girls”. Not settling, however, for pop industry standards, she later released albums on the legendary jazz label Verve, as well as on the Snarky Puppy and GroundUP Music labels. She has sung live with Pink Martini and the WDR Big Band and has sung background vocals for icons such as Rod Stewart, Celine Dion, and Barbra Streisand. Charlie and Lucy toured much of 2018 and recorded a new album (2019 release) based on pocket-heavy renditions of vintage pop and classic standards ranging from Blind Willie Johnson to Terence Trent D’Arby to Nina Simone.
