Thad producessongs from thestory of life

A professional musician for more than 25 years, Thad Beckman has paid his dues on the dusty roads which run from California to New Jersey and points in between.

He plays The Green Muse, Brighton, on Wednesday, April 9 at 8pm.

“His finely-crafted original songs are the story of life, the voice of modern America,” says spokesman James Soars “from the growling delta blues of the Deep South to evocative contemporary folk, bound by the common thread of experience gleaned from the road . You can hear it in his voice. He’s been there.
