Society Hall Proudly Presents: Tumbleweed!

Описание: Society Hall is excited to welcome the legendary Alamosa band Tumbleweed for a special reunion conert!

Originating as the house band at the newly opened location of the Goalpost night club in Alamosa, Colorado, Tumbleweed first formed in the fall of 1973, and for many years (and through many member changes) was one of the most popular country-rock bands in the region, attracting legions of devoted fans.

Although there were no plans for any sort of long-term endeavor, the band quickly started collecting legions of fans and realized there was something going on worth sharing and continuing. The band started branching out and over the years began touring extensively in their native region of Colorado and New Mexico. Tumbleweed always seemed to feel most at home in the mountain resort areas and became regulars at such well-known clubs as the Old Dillon Inn in Silverthorne, Colorado and many other high country clubs.

The band's music was always characterized by wide-ranging variety, eclectic selection, and intricate and challenging arrangements. Although usually thought of as a country band, Tumbleweed played (and plays) material from rock to blues to reggae to bluegrass to old hippie anthems and pretty much whatever they feel like. With several active songwriters in the band, there was always a mix or original and cover material happening. It was always an interesting night, and no one (least of all the band) was ever sure what was going to happen.
The band stopped playing regularly in 1990, but has continued to get together once or twice a year for special engagements, mainly because, as band member Don Richmond says, “It was just too much fun to stop!”

Tumbleweed is a 5-piece powerhouse of a band, with a wide range of instruments including acoustic and electric guitars (often 3 lead guitar players) bass, drums, pedal steels (2 onstage) mandolin, accordion, fiddle, banjo, harmonica, trumpet, and even a clarinet making an occasional appearance.

Numerous different musicians moved through the ranks of Tumbleweed over the years, with the current lineup being Don Richmond on guitars, fiddle, banjo, pedal steel, harmonica, trumpet and vocals, Rob “Robear” Bosdorf on guitar, pedal steel and vocals (and clarinet if he's feeling brave), Dale Smith on cajon and vocals, Roger Dawson on bass and vocals, and Scott Russell on guitar, mandolin, accordion and vocals.

And you still never quite know what's going to happen - but it will be fun!

The Society Hall board, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing a place for community celebrations of all kinds, invites everyone to join them in the hall for a wonderful night of country-rock music with Tumbleweed at Society Hall, at the corner of 4th Street and Ross Avenue in Alamosa.
