Iron Tongue and Adam Faucett & the Tall Grass tonight at 7 at Ron Robinson Theater

RRT TongueLocal heavy rock group Iron Tongue joins forces with the huge voice of songwriter Adam Faucett & the Tall Grass for a night of powerful original music.

Iron Tongue is a group of veteran musicians with diverse backgrounds. Their soulful heavy rock songs of pain, regret and heartache recall their influences of Blue Cheer, Grand Funk, Kiss, Deep Purple, Buddy Guy, and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Adam Faucett & the Tall Grass hail from Little Rock. Faucett possesses a voice that the Onion A.V. Club warns “knocks your brain into the back of your skull.” Faucett has drawn comparisons from Tim Buckley to Cat Power to Otis Redding. Called “one of the greatest, most thoughtful lyricists the state has to offer” (Arkansas Times), Faucett has pushed the borders of his “part folk, part blues, part elemental rock stomp, part unidentifiable cosmic holler” (Arkansas Democrat Gazette) with his new album, Blind Water Finds Blind Water, presenting his most arresting and beautiful songs to date.

The concert starts at 7pm at the Ron Robinson Theater. Tickets are $10.
