Free folk concert Saturday at library

Local Durango singer-songwriter and fly fishing guide Thom Chacon will play his soulful Americana and folk tunes at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19, at the Pine River Library, 395 Bayfield Center Drive.

Chacon’s influences include greats like Kris Kristofferson, Steve Earle and Townes Van Zandt. Chacon has gone on to tour around the world, opening for artists as diverse as Los Lonely Boys and Jason Mraz, playing shows in Thailand and India, and even one memorable gig on July 4, 2004, at Folsom Prison, shortly after the death of another of his idols, Johnny Cash.

This free event was made possible by Pine River Arts, a local nonprofit devoted to supporting and promoting arts and culture in the Pine River Valley.
