The Master of catchy british-invasion-y hooks, all crossed with a Warren-Zevony intelligence & infused with a healthy slap of Americana, played at the incredible music-space that is actually (when not filled with music) Auburn's own Unitarian-Universalist Fellowship on Thatch Street.
Wilder was brought to town by the amazing non-profit concert series Sundilla. The Sundilla Concert Series of Auburn has brought us a host of national acts, all housed in one of the town's best acoustical spaces - which also just happens to be one of it's oldest places of worship. Formerly the historical Ebenezer Baptist Church, currently home to Auburn's UU congregation, this beautiful old site was built in the 1870's by freed slaves of hand-hewn lumber and the purest inspiration. As such, it still feels filled with what might be once & future holy rolling, but might also just be light divine.
So - Help Keep America's Musicians off WELFARE!
Come drink and Worship Music with us!
Next concert of the series June 1st, 7.30-ish featuring the incredible duo STORYHILL. Born in windy-old Bozeman Montana, this duo of singer-songwriters has received national acclaim including being awarded Best CD of the Year by the Indie Acoustic Project, 2007. Their talents have also led them to win the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Songwriting Contest and perform on national radio shows like Mountain Stage.
We here in Auburn are lucky enough to be able to just mosey on over to a worship-space built by freed slaves where we can all relax, lift a glass or a bottle, and worship the music together along with all justice and freedom, so come on down & holler out a little glory, hallelujah.

Free food provided - BRING YOUR OWN booze, moonshine and/or other beverages
[in truth, concerts here tend to be of the more music-focused, rather than alcohol-focused variety. But polite enrichment from the flask can always be a happy thing!]
