Eli Winter with Josh Kimbrough at Tabor - November 1
We’re pleased to welcome two guitar extraordinaires, Chicago-based Eli Winter and Chapel Hill’s Josh Kimbrough, for a very special performance at Tabor in Charlotte, NC on Monday, November 1st.
A self-taught guitarist based in Chicago, Eli Winter has been praised as a "generational talent" (NYCTaper) for his masterful instrumental music, which has received praise from Pitchfork, The Guardian, the Chicago Reader and others. On the strength of his first album, The Time To Come, The Guardian featured him as an artist to watch for 2020. That year, American Dreams Records released his second album, Unbecoming. In March, the label released Anticipation, an album of acoustic guitar duets with Cameron Knowler, which Pitchfork named one of 8 New Records That Reimagine What a Guitar Can Do. New music is forthcoming
Josh Kimbrough is a fingerstyle guitarist and composer from Chapel Hill, NC. For the last 15 years he’s been a core member of the NC collective, Trekky Records (Lost in the Trees, Phil Cook, Sylvan Esso). He learned to play by studying Freddie King instrumentals and Fernando Sor classical guitar exercises. Josh has teamed up with producer and bass player Jeff Crawford (The Dead Tongues, Big Star’s Third) for the first full length under his own name. Slither, Soar & Disappear is an intimate and immersive song cycle inspired by the natural world, fatherhood, and the joy of solitude. On it, small ensembles of double bass, flute, strings, mandolin, banjo, and drums adorn his nylon and steel string guitar work..
