Chris Acker, of New Orleans, LA, lends a quavering voice to the half-rotten romance of the unremarkable and unrefined, in the tradition of Guthrie and Prine. Regardless if you’re sitting by a backyard fire on a muggy Louisiana night or standing stage-side in some far flung town, when you hear Acker playing, you’re hearing the end result of countless hours of observing the masters of the craft… and the end result of repeating their mistakes. Acker released his fourth full-length album, Famous Lunch, on Gar Hole Records in October of 2024.
