Robbie Fulks

A trio of accomplished musicians — David Grier, Jack Lawrence and Robbie Fulks (pictured) — pays tribute to the warm genius Doc Watson, who died in 2012. Watson’s music was simple — just a man and his guitar — but breathtakingly sincere. On his 1964 self-titled record, Watson goes through the pains and pleasures of life, drawing them out expressively with his guitar.

press release:  The Sugar Maple Concert Series presents The Music of Doc Watson, with David Grier, Jack Lawrence, and Robbie Fulks

The eminent flatpicking genius David Grier, longtime Doc Watson sideman Jack Lawrence, and Americana veteran Robbie Fulks team up for a guitar-fueled tribute to the music and mind of Doc Watson. Since the death of the North Carolina musician in 2012, his unique legacy and place of honor in American culture have become clearer than ever. Doc’s ecumenical approach to repertoire, his warm storyteller’s voice, his deep humility and attachment to heritage and family, and, above all, his phenomenally fluent and boundary-breaking guitar picking make him a permanent hero to musicians of all genres and generations.
