[AMERICANA] Robbie Fulks brought a neo-traditional country sound to the early 1980’s New York City folk stable that was keeping Gerde’s Folk City alive, but he left New York for Chicago to teach at the famed Old Town School of Folk Music. There, he spent time in successful bluegrass outfits before releasing his first solo album in 1996. Since then, he’s shifted between sparse acoustic recordings, edgier full-band projects and—lo and behold—a tribute to Michael Jackson. Somehow, it’s still Americana at the base. Expect the unexpected on Friday, June 5 at Sportsmen’s Tavern.
