Gurf Morlix performs "Food, Water, Shelter and Love"

Gurf Morlix returns home to his native WNY for a house concert on Sunday (May 20) at 7pm. The Hamburg-born singer/songwriter (recently turned Texan) grew up playing in bands such as Cherry Blend and Rainbow Kitchen with Jim Whitford, a fellow Buffalo Music Hall of Fame alum, and Peter Case. A multi-talented musician, Morlix has played on, performed and produced records with an extensive and impressive list of music biz folks. He’s released four albums of his own and plays guitar, bass, mandolin, mandocello, dobro, lap steel, banjo, piano, drums, harmonica, etc. He recently took a “break”—to play with and produce two albums for Lucinda Williams. Playing alongside Morlix for this show is Troy Campbell, a past member of the Highwaymen and Loose Diamonds, whose new album Long in the Sun was also produced by Morlix. The concert is open to the public, but at a private home, so call 812-4671 for more info—laura masters
