Bill Callahan Performs at The Orange Show
On the heels of releasing his latest CD, Woke on a Whaleheart, crooner Bill Callahan performs tonight at the Orange Show Monument. With a voice that recalls Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen, this maverick songwriter returns to the Orange Show for an encore performance. Callahan's darkly personal, yet dry and witty lyrics have made him a favorite with Houston audiences.
Callahan, also known as Smog and (Smog), is an American singer-songwriter born in Silver Spring, Maryland. Callahan began working in the lo-fi genre of underground rock, with home-made tape-albums recorded on four track tape recorders. Later he began releasing albums with the label Drag City. He is currently dating folk singer Joanna Newsom, whose newest album he contributed to on the song "Only Skin."
Alt-Country-Electro duo Astronautalis opens the show.
