The WoodSongs Dalton 2018 Concert Series will host the award winning singer, songwriter, and fiddler Becky Buller and the Becky Buller Band and Spatial Effects at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 27, at The Wink Theater in downtown Dalton.
Review for Becky Buller:
Becky Buller’s first appearance as a solo artist was in Dalton in January of 2015 and since that time she has received five awards from the International Bluegrass Music Association. In 2016, Becky Buller made bluegrass music history by becoming the first person ever to win in both instrumental and vocal categories at the International Bluegrass Music Association Awards. A prolific songwriter whose songs have been recorded by top artists was also named 2015 IBMA songwriter of the year received an award for Recorded Event of the Year with her interpretation of Bill Monroe’s Southern Flavor. Since 2015, the Becky Buller Band has toured extensively throughout the United States and Canada.
Review for Spatial Effects:
Opening for the Becky Buller Band will be Spatial Effects, a regional band that plays a mix of bluegrass, gospel, and their “slightly bent” originals. The unique musical fare of Spatial Effects sets them apart from traditional bluegrass bands. The recipe for their brand of bluegrass music includes several degrees in music, creativity, and a sometimes off the wall sense of humor.
The January concert will also honor the Girl Scouts of America in Northwest Georgia. Girls Scouts will be admitted to the concert free if wearing their sash or vest.
Advance tickets for the January concert are available at the Dalton Freight Depot Gift Shop, Bigham Discount Music, online at www.woodsongsdalton.com, and at the door. Advance tickets are $15 and $18 at the door.
