Portland, Maine based musician Seth Warner and his band present an evening full of the songs and stories from the life of this late, legendary and iconic Texas singer-songwriter.

While finding success as a performing singer-songwriter was elusive and fraught with challenges, many of which were his own making – Townes Van Zandt’s songs touched and influenced many and still do to this day. Emmylou Harris, The Cowboy Junkies, Guy Clark, Willie Nelson, Nanci Griffiths, Steve Earle are just a few of countless artists that have covered Van Zandt's songs and specifically pointed to him as an inspiration. While not being exactly auto-biographical, Van Zandt's better-known songs often deal with darkness and feature lonely, troubled characters infused with themes of leaving, life on the road and love left behind. Having toured as a soloist nearly constantly during his career and preferring dive bars to concert halls, Townes was a gifted and able performer, mixing in talking blues, choice upbeat covers and practicing his jokes and one liners with the audiences all along the way. Highway Kind features: Dan Beller-McKenna, pedal steel + dobro, Scott Heron - mandolin, Ann Holbrook - voice, Nick Phaneuf - upright bass, Seth Warner - voice + guitar and Tom Yoder - fiddle + guitar.
