Show C-4 The Park Record Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues, January 27-30, 2018 Old friends come to town Local musicians can access annual acoustic hootenanny COURTESY OF THE RICHLYNN GROUP Lifelong friends Lyle Lovett, right, and Robert Earl Keen will perform together on Thursday at the Eccles Center for the Performing Arts. The Park City Institute will present the concert. Robert Earl Keen and Lyle Lovett will play Thursday SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record Singer and songwriter Robert Earl Keen knows nothing as sublime as hanging out with an old friend. He also knows nothing comes close to the fun he has when he plays music with that friend. Park City will get experience that feeling first hand when Keen and Lyle Lovett, who have been friends since the late 1970s, play together on Thursday, Feb. 1, at the Eccles Center for the Performing Arts, 1750 Kearns Blvd. “When we go out, we do the same things we did when we first met,” Keen said. “I mean we sit and talk and talk and talk on the tour bus before the show. Then finally somebody will say, ‘Hey, it’s show time.’ and then we’ll go out onto the stage and talk about the same thing we were talking about in the bus.” The energy on stage is root- “It’s all an effort to continue to explore how much we can get out of the songs we have written over the years...” Robert Earl Keen, singer and songwriter “Lyle likes some really great and serious solo performers, and I liked some other solo performers, and we’re always checking out what’s going on in the scene,” Keen said. The two musicians differ in their approach to playing and songwriting, but that’s what makes the shows interesting. “Lyle’s kind of a master with comedic timing and with his choice of songs,” Keen said. “I’m more freeform with my stuff, but I think as a duo, it works well.” Although Keen and Lovett tour together once a year or once every two years, Keen still learns new things from his counterpart. “I always admire and try to emulate his control of how he does stuff,” he said. Keen’s feeling is magnified when he gets on stage.“There’s ed in the two musicians’ love for music.

It’s all over for this year on Sunday, baby.” The Access Film Music Showcase started this year on Tuesday, Jan. 16, and featured nonlocal and local artists including Christopher Hawley, who comes form Venice Beach to Park City at least twice a year, Joe Rosati, a former Parkite who lives in Washington state, the 2017 Telluride Troubadour Competition winner Clint Alphin, international voice actor and musician Carrington MacDuffie, as well as Park City’s own Bill McGinnis, his daughter Molly McGinnis, Dr. Bob, Rich Wyman and Lisa Needham, and Hal O’Dell, to name a few. “Utah artists have really been making names for themselves on a national and international level,” Beck said. “It’s also nice to see musicians supporting each other and networking. That helps them when they tour, because they can reach out to other musicians for a place to crash or a new venue to call.” The Access Film Music Showcase will run Jan. 22-28 at The Spur Bar & Grill, 352 Main St. Admission is free before 8 p.m. For information, visit accessfilmmusic.net.

And we also do a series in Kansas City as part of the Folk Alliance International Conference in February.” The Park City showcase, which started 15 years ago, was the pebble that started the avalanche. “It was how we came into existence and it’s been great to see the community support us,” Beck said. As payback, Access Film Music Showcase hosts an annual jam on its final day in Park City. The event usually features two parts -- an acoustic hootenanny and an electric “Fruitenanny.” Beck said he will host only the acoustic jam from 3-8 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 28, due to scheduling issues. “This event is open to everyone, at least anyone can come as long as they are aged 21 and older,” he said. “It’s an open session so people can bring their instruments -- mandolin, guitars, hand drums, sousaphone, whatever they have in the closet. They can just bust it out.” 102 107 113 116 Stardust bags are made of Jute, the most sustainable crop on earth. They are re-usable and will last for many years.
