Ryley Walker Tickets

Ryley Walker
USA

It’s one thing to play flawless, crisp jazz-folk songs in the vein of late 60s era Tim Buckley and Van Morrison – but quite another to imbue them with the fire, spirit and youth that’s such a natural part of Ryley Walker’s performance. The rising Chicago troubadour’s latest album, Primrose Green, has a freewheeling ease that’s a result of Walker’s band comprising the city’s most brilliant jazz musicians – who also happen to be his best friends. His live shows take the sweet lustre of his records and transform them into mesmeric, groovy wig-outs. Bask in the heady, psychedelic glory.
