becks!
Thursday
9pm
Free + open to the public
The Tavern
234 West Washington Street
Athens, Ohio
becks! is a queer singer-songwriter whose Appalachian roots ground their music to place, while pushing the envelope of what it means to 'belong' in the folk and old time scenes. Their family history of union organizing and three generations of 'card carrying communists' bring an edge to their live performances that ties in some of their more commercial catalogue with the history of the Appalachian region and their family's own resistances in the Ohio River Valley.
