KZFR 90.1FM presents Todd Snider with special guest Lilly Winwood in Paradise Doors: 6:30pm Show: 7:30pm All proceeds support KZFR 90.1FM Todd Snider returns to the North State for a one-of-a-kind performance at the luxurious Paradise Performing Arts Center. Special guest Lilly Winwood Since debuting in 1994, Snider has gone through his own incarnations. His first single “Talking Seattle Blues” was a head fake that might've pointed to goofy novelty songs. But he quickly showed that his artistic quiver was much deeper and more interesting. A storyteller who works a similar creative soil to John Prine and Shel Silverstein, Snider's best songs are both sad and funny, political and entertaining, and always written with a poet's eye and a stand-up comedian's sensibility about the follies of human condition. While he's made eighteen fine albums, it's on stage where Snider is even more potent, with between-song banter that weaves subtle emotional threads through his sets. A road dog who loves the road, Snider has toured with Emmylou Harris, John Prine, Jimmy Buffett, and appeared at festivals like Farm Aid, Newport Folk Fest, Lockn’ and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival. It feels appropriate that with his latest album [First Agnostic Church of Hope and Wonder], Snider may play a similar inspirational role for the parishioners in his church. “I'd like it to feel like a drum circle or a revival for listeners. I'd like it to feel like a hippie summer, where you take acid and listen to the songs by a beautiful lake. There's a thing called effervescence - that feeling that you're present, alive. I'd like for people to have a moment with this record. I think about records that will come into my life and they'll help put a little more salt on the moment. That's what I'm going for. But then, who knows if anyone will like the record. I dig it. I know it's a cliché for people to say, 'This is how I've been meaning to sound forever.' But I swear, that's how it feels.”
