Tim Easton will perform at 9 p.m. today at White Water Tavern in Little Rock. Admission is $10.
Easton released his latest album, Paco & The Melodic Polaroids on April 13, explaining to Elmore magazine that he recorded the album "direct to lacquer at The Earnest Tube studio in Bristol, Va.," and that the method used "a single 1940s RCA 74B ribbon microphone ... recorded via portable lathe, which cuts a mono signal directly to a lacquer acetate disc, much the same way the Carter Family or Jimmie Rodgers cut their first records in Bristol over 90 years ago."
Easton, who turned 52 the day before his Little Rock show, began his career as a member of the band, Kosher Spears, while in college. He has since released 10 solo albums and several more as a member of the groups the Frelan Barons, the Haynes Boys and Easton Stagger Phillips.
