Bobby Sweet To Perform At New Lebanon Library

Renowned Berkshire musician Bobby Sweet will perform at the New Lebanon Library on July 8 at 6:30 pm. The event is free and open to the public. Donations for the performer are appreciated.[private]Sweet is a sixth-generation musician, who began performing at age 7. As a performer, he has shared the bill with some of the top country and folk artists, including Vince Gill, Bill Staines, Bill Morrissey, Deana Carter, Bryan White, Arlo Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Jonathan Edwards, and Sawyer Brown. As a sought-after lead guitarist he has played shows opening for George Jones, Asleep at the Wheel, Willie Nelson, and others. In 2009 he toured with Arlo Guthrie’s Lost World Tour, playing electric guitar and fiddle.
Stylistically, Bobby’s music resides somewhere between John Prine, Jackson Browne, Guy Clark, and a countryfied Bruce Springsteen. An engaging storyteller, he is at home on the stage, whether performing solo, with his eclectic trio, or with the full band.
