Acoustic roots singer-songwriters Joe Flood and Phil Rosenthal share the bill at Best Video Film & Cultural Center Sat., June 10. This is an outside show and the music starts at 5:30 PM.

Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Joe Flood has traveled a long musical road. He has played and written songs with the likes of Levon Helm of The Band, jam band faves Blues Traveler, Americana stalwarts the Bottle Rockets, had on stage and studio encounters with such giants of American music as Pinetop Perkins, Dr. John, Allen Toussaint, and John Sebastian and done stints as a sideman with The Band’s Rick Danko, Eric Andersen, Kelly Willis, Happy and Artie Traum, Mojo Nixon, Tom Russell, Sylvia Tyson, Greg Trooper...and the list goes on.

Phil Rosenthal was lead singer and guitarist in the seminal bluegrass band the Seldom Scene. His compositions have been recorded by Johnny Cash, Bill Monroe, Nick Cave and others. He was selected Connecticut State Troubadour in 1994, and has been called "a roots master" by Billboard Magazine and "one of the most expressive singers in traditional country music" by the Washington Post. He has performed with Jerry Douglas, Bill Monroe, Emmylou Harris, Jonathan Edwards and many others in his career in folk and bluegrass music.

There will be donation vases for the musicians and the venue. Please consider being generous in supporting musicians—opportunities to perform have been fewer the past couple of years. Suggested donation of $10.
