Cost: $15 in advance
Boiled in Lead return to the Cedar after almost two years absence, in a benefit for their ailing comrade. Fresh from standing ovations in both the Chapel and the Concert Hall at Carleton College, this “...legendary figure in the field of American folk rock...” (World Music Central) comes back to The Cedar to help heal guitarist Dean Magraw. Dean MagrawDean’s joining Boiled In Lead in 2005 was a pivotal factor in the band’s resurgence that led to their acclaimed 25th Anniversary release Silver. Earlier this year, Dean Magraw was diagnosed with an illness that required a bone marrow transplant. He’s had to cancel all performances while he recovers, so the net proceeds from tonight’s concert will go towards his recovery. There will also be a silent auction, with items including signed prints from Sidney Maurer, Gregory W. Bitz, Sherlyn Barnes and Erin Sayer. Ruth MackenzieRuth Mackenzie, a frequent collaborator with Dean, will join the quartet for a few songs to add her vocal lilt to the evening.
