Greenwich Library’s Peterson Concert Series will host eclectic multi-instrumentalist David Lindley on Sunday, April 8 at 3:30 p.m. in the Cole Auditorium.

Lindley, well known for his many years as the featured accompanist with Jackson Browne, and leader of his own band El Rayo-X, has long championed the concept of world music. His electro-acoustic performance effortlessly combines American folk, blues, and bluegrass traditions with elements from African, Arabic, Asian, Celtic, Malagasy, and Turkish musical sources.

Lindley incorporates an incredible array of stringed instruments, including Kona and Weissenborn Hawaiian lap steel guitar, Turkish saz and chumbus, Middle Eastern oud, and Irish bouzouki. Often eye-poppingly clad, Lindley’s uncanny vocal mimicry and onstage banter is a highlight of the show.

Throughout his career, Lindley has been one of Hollywood’s most in-demand session musicians, lending his skills to the recorded works of Bob Dylan, Rod Stewart, Linda Ronstadt, Crosby and Nash, Warren Zevon, and many others.

The Peterson Concert Series is open to all at no charge. Doors open at 3 p.m. For more information, contact Peterson Music Librarian David Waring at dwaring@greenwichlibrary.org or call 203-622-7917.
