RIVAA Gallery invites you to a weekend of live music Saturday May 24 and Sunday May 25. According to RIVAA Gallery:
Sean Pratt Trio. Saturday May 25. Immerse yourself in the soulful sounds of American folk music! Tomorrow afternoon, The Sean Pratt Trio will be performing songs from their latest album live at RIVAA Gallery.
Sean Pratt is an American folk guitar player and singer-songwriter from Nebraska by way of the Dakotas. Pratt played in Omaha punk and noise acts before developing a fascination with the songcraft of Van Zandt, Prine and Chilton. Occasionally he unearthed a set of original compositions at one of Omaha’s many dark corner bars.
In December of 2023, following a debut of new material at Grapefruit Records, friend and collaborator Simon Joyner encouraged Pratt to record the songs from that night “quickly, while everything is still new.” On New Year’s Day, recording began. Over the next three days Pratt, Megan Siebe, Colin Duckworth and James Maakestad recorded live what would become Prairie Whistle Call.
Prairie Whistle Call arrives spring 2025 on Worried Songs (UK).
Admission is free, suggested donation: $25, $10 for Students/Seniors
