The Northeastern Arts Network proudly presents Andy Hackbarth in concert on Thursday, March 22 as part of their Big Sky Concert Series.
Award-winning Nashville recording artist, songwriter and Classical-Flamenco guitarist Andy Hackbarth holds a Bachelor of Music in Classical Guitar Performance from the University of Colorado, Boulder.
Hackbarth was raised on the idea that music can paint colors more vivid than any paintbrush. He does just that, weaving the world of flamenco and classical guitar into an arsenal of upbeat, contemporary-folk songs that are 100%, unmistakably Andy Hackbarth.
In 2006, Hackbarth left his parents’ llama ranch and the Colorado mountains behind for the bright (neon) lights of Music City, USA to raise his craft as a songwriter and performer to a new level.
“You don’t realize how much you have to learn until you move to Nashville,” he says. “Truly great songs are so rare. It’s the best feeling in the world to know that you’ve written a song in which every word counts; one that forces everyone who hears it to stop, really listen, and look at the world in a completely different way.”
Last May, Andy released his much-anticipated third full-length album, “The Last Love Song”, worldwide in the midst of a 16-month, 200+ show tour that spanned, quite literally, from coast-to-coast. It included stops such as the legendary Bitter End in New York, the historic Fox Theater in Colorado, Salt Lake’s Sandy Amphitheater and the Hotel Cafe in California. Along the way he shared the stage with Melissa Etheridge, Jimmy Wayne, Lonestar, Katie Armiger, Buddy Jewell, Due West and many others.
This concert will be held at the Sidney Middle School Auditorium at 7 p.m. Tickets prices at the door: adults $15, senior $13, and students $10. For additional concert information contact Candy Markwald 406-488-4155, Jill Hill 406-488-3845, or Karen Boehler 406-433-4375.
The Big Sky Series is made possible in part by the Montana Performing Arts Consortium Presenter Development Program which is supported by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, Montana Arts Council, and legislative grant from Montana’s Cultural Trust and WESTAF.
