Acoustic roots singer-songwriters Joe Flood and Bert Lee share the bill at Best Video Film & Cultural Center Sat., Oct. 21. The show starts at 7 PM and the cover is $10. Flood and Lee will swap songs and back each other up.

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.

Bert Lee was a founding member of a little-known but influential group called the Central Park Sheiks back in the 70s and has done all sorts of interesting things since. He has been writing songs since the mid-1960s, and because of just dumb great luck has had the opportunity to be mentored by a bunch of great composers. Classical, folk, country, swing, rock, electronic, and downright experimental music has been flowing out of him for decades.
