Savage sound comes to Lawrence
Guitarist to play at Liberty Hall
By Jennifer Reynolds Kansan staff writer
Michael Hedges is a self-pra-
claimed savage-myth guitar placer.
He will bring his distinctive style of music to Lawrence for the third year in a row at 8 p.m. today in Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St.
Music experts have trouble labeling Hedes' music at all.
"The savage part means beyond human restraint, undomesticated and wild," Hedges said. "The myth stands for a softening of the savage but not from a taming point of view."
"For a while I was considered New Age, and for a while it was jazz," he said. "It seems to always be changing."

What Hedges doesn't change is his style of play. He combines simultaneous strumming and picking at both ends of the guitar with percussive slapping of the strings and body of the instrument in combination effects with rhythm音阶化
Tim Griffith, manager of Liberty
Hall, said Hedges gave a powerful performance.
"He can make sounds come out of a guitar that you never thought would be possible." he said. "He can do some amazing things on stage."
The Oklahoma-born musician plays songs ranging from the heavymetal sounds of AC/DC to the classical sounds of Bach.
"I like to write a wide variety of
music and keep an open mind," he said. "It's difficult to keep your inspiration up without substance abuse and put it down to transmit to others."
Promoting his album, "Live on the Double Planet," on Windham Hill records, Hedges also will perform some songs from a album still in the works.
The album, "Tap Root," is 80 percent done with no release date set, he said.
Tenight's show, Hedges' only area performance, will feature songs like AC/DC's "Let's Get It Up," and an original song, "Feeling All Right."
"The AC/DC song is a very wild and suggestive歌," he said. "Feeling All Right" is a newer version of an old song that is quite a bit more savage."
Hedges decided to play in Lawrence rather than a larger city in the area because it is the "hipstest town in the midwest," he said.
Griffith said the concert was almost sold out for the second year in a row. Nearly 500 tickets had been sold by Griffith's Liberty Hall has a capacity of 600.
Tickets for the concert are $12 for balcony seats and $14 for floor. All seats are reserved.
