Robbie Fulks - October 18, 2013

David Landis

  Robbie Fulks/The Old Fashioneds

October 18, 2013, 8 p.m. 
Show#8 
Hoogland Center for the Arts

With his fourth performance at WUIS' Bedrock 66 Live, Robbie passes the Bottle Rockets for most appearances.  Face it, we love Robbie & Co.

Robbie Fulks knows how to write a country song with a great melody.  And he's not above throwing in a smart alec line or two.  It's a formula that has made Fulks among the most critically acclaimed insurgent country artists.  He just released a new cd and he'll sample some old and new works at this Bedrock show at the Hoogland Center for the Arts. 

WUIS Music Host Sean Burns brings us this profile of Fulks:

"Fulks sounds like the wiseass bastard son of Roger Miller -- high praise indeed" - Rolling Stone
