About the Event

The series continues Friday, September 20, with Emmy-winner Walt Richards, Aaron Bowen, and Steve Bulman. American singer, songwriter, and guitarist Aaron Bowen is best known for his unique, seamless blend of styles ranging from virtuosic guitar-based jazz, old-time country, and psychedelic rhythm and blues. In early 2017, Paris label More Than Folk Records released Bowen’s fifth studio album Wide Sky—a haunting, Americana-styled collection of songs. Multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Walt Richards, one of Southern California’s best-known guitar and banjo players, is celebrating over 50 years of playing and teaching music in the San Diego area. Richards toured nationally with the Eddystone Singers and the Appalachians with multiple wins at Topanga in the 60s and 70s. His most recent credits include singing train songs for a documentary originally commissioned by Disney. A seasoned guitar player of 30 years, Stephen Bulman specializes in percussive fingerstyle music. Known for his distinctive use of harmonics and pitch bending, his tranquil compositions create a soothing auditory experience.
