Glasgow-born bard, Al Stewart, has been leaving his mark on the music world for nearly four decades. His distinctive voice and imaginative lyrics, telling the tales of history's more colorful people, places, and events, gained wide recognition in the mid-1970s, with the release of two hit albums, Year of the Cat and Time Passages.

Al's music has undergone a refining and shifting of gears with a return to his folk roots—early in his career Al was a regular at London's legendary club, les Cousines, where he shared evenings with Richard Thompson, Bert Jansch, and John Renbourn. These roots are apparent in Al's recent album, A Beach Full of Shells (Appleseed), a striking collection of songs suffused with history and vivid detail, marked by Al's signature blend of good humor, sharp wit, and sincere emotion.

Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Dave Nachmanoff opens the show.
