Aaron Lee Tasjan is holding a release party for his most recent EP, “Crooked River Burning”at the Stone Fox this Wednesday, April 2nd. Dropped March 25th, the EP swiftly climbed the Itunes Singer/Songwriter charts straight to the #1 slot. “Don’t Walk Away” is the first track off the album, and damned if some spots don’t hit with the same misty sentimentalism as a Loggins and Messina tune, while other parts maintain a Steve Earle sneer. Tasjan’s reputation as a ferociously clever musician is widely known, recently honored by ASCAP as one of America’s great songwriters of the next generation. He’s paid a lifetime of dues in touring and performing, and his guitar-picking, toe-tapping, open-hearted folk rock shows only growth. Tim Easton and Courtney Jaye join the bill Wednesday evening; the show starts at 9 and cover is $7. –Terra James-Jura
