Freight Trains, Jesse James, Uncle B and Me featuring David Holt

The inaugural presentation of Aventura’s “First Person Singular: Adventures in Solo Storytelling” Series.

Four-time Grammy® Award winner David Holt has been tracking unusual mountain musicians for over three decades. Described as “a virtuoso” by the New Yorker, he is considered one of the nation’s foremost folk musicians and storytellers. In this solo concert, David weaves together stories and songs from this lifelong adventure, explaining how some of the quirkiest folks he discovered were right in his own family. Similar to his mentors Doc Watson, Roy Acuff, and Chet Atkins, his blend of music and narrative prompted Vogue to proclaim Holt “the best minstrel and storyteller.”
