PRESS RELEASE FROM WHITE HORSE BLACK MOUNTAIN:
Black Mountain singer/ songwriter David LaMotte is often spotted wearing his trademark bush hat, but in reality he wears many hats: singer-songwriter, speaker, author, workshop leader, humanitarian activist and more. He’s been a force on the local scene and far beyond for over two decades, not only for his acclaimed songs but as a respected voice for positive change. His songs, tireless touring and gentle authority have earned him a large and loyal worldwide following. The artist will make time in his busy schedule for a home town concert at the White Horse Black Mountain on Friday, April 15 at 8 p.m.
LaMotte’s years as a performer date back to the fabled days of Black Mountain’s McDibb’s and the original Grey Eagle. Now a veteran of more than 2500 concerts in forty-nine states and on five continents, he’s developed an insightful, witty, contemplative writing style coupled with a melodious voice and impressive guitar work that makes extensive use of nonstandard tunings. He’s also the author of a handbook for activists, Worldchanging 101: Challenging the Myth of Powerlessness and two children’ books, S.S. Bathtub and White Flour, the latter based on a real-life creative response to hate. In addition to touring and speaking, LaMotte is also focusing his efforts on a new recording project due for release in September.
Show begins at 8 p.m. Tickets are $18 advance/ $20 door/ $10 children 12 and under.
