Ian McFeron: Short Duo – Live at the Caffe 5/12 at 8pm

Ian McFeron, whose lyrical prose has been compared to Bob Dylan, Ryan Adams and David Gray, weaves together a variety of roots-Americana styles to create his own unique blend of roots-oriented American music. A fully independent artist and self-functioning record label, McFeron has shared the stage with artists such as Patty Griffin, Nanci Griffith, Shawn Mullins, Brandi Carlile, Mike Doughty, Sister Hazel, Amos Lee, Hayes Carll, and Missy Higgins, and is dedicated to building audiences on the road, touring the United States and Europe over 200 dates a year.  Currently, McFeron is on tour in support of his newest album Summer Nights, recorded in Nashville, TN with a cast of musicians drawn from Ryan Adams and Patty Griffins touring bands.

On the road, McFeron (vocals, guitars, piano) is joined by Alisa Milner, a Texas-style fiddler, cellist, and harmony vocalist.
