Jalan Crossland & His Band to perform at Basin City Arts Center

BASIN — The Basin City Arts Center presents Jalan Crossland & His Band in concert on Friday, March 12 at 7 p.m.

According to a news release from BCAC volunteer Jennifer Miller, Crossland is widely acclaimed by audiences, critics and his musical peers as one of the country’s premier guitarists. Born in San Francisco, Crossland grew up in the tiny ranching town of Ten Sleep in the shadow of the Big Horn Mountains and considers himself a hybrid of the two cultures.

Crossland’s music, according to the release, is as culturally diverse as he is, drawing on traditional folk and bluegrass as well as relatively contemporary genres of rock and jazz.

"I like to keep one foot rooted in the old mountain music while the other stumbles wildly forward for some new ground,” said Crossland. “It is not always a graceful stride."

Along with dozens of regional contest awards, his extraordinary guitar work has earned National Fingerstyle Championship honors in 1997 and the State Championship Flatpick Title in his home state of Wyoming in 1999. The release said he is a talented vocalist, banjo player, songwriter and an engaging showman. Crossland’s concerts are energetic, upbeat and fun.

All tickets are $15 each and will be available at the door starting at 6:30 p.m. For advanced tickets contact any BCAC Board Member: Kathleen Nichols, Nichol Duncan, Wendy Taylor, Muriel Alderson, Debbie Lewis, Lauren Moreno, Jim Rannells, Kris McNay, Liz Carr, Jana Stamstad or BCAC Volunteer Jennifer Miller.

Basin City Arts Center, located at 115 S. 4th Street in Basin, is a non-profit organization supporting the performing arts in the Big Horn Basin.
