WPA consists of some of the most accomplished and legendary musicians in today’s American music scene. The brainchild of founding members Glen Phillips (Toad the Wet Sprocket) and Sean Watkins (Nickel Creek), this group has a roster of some of the greatest performers around.  The group will include the incredible bassist Sebastian Steinberg (Soul Coughing, Marc Ribot) and drummer Jerry Roe.  One never knows who will show up to join the group, but previous special guests have included Sara Watkins (Nickel Creek), Benmont Tench (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers), Greg Leisz (Bill Frisell, Joni Mitchell), and more.  This is an amazing opportunity to see some of the masters of Americana perform originals and covers in the intimate Edye theater.

“In songs that pulled equally from country, folk, rock, soul and pop, the group’s sound was dense and full-bodied yet had a clarity that revealed the deep-seated craftiness of WPA’s arrangements. As a veteran of any field knows, it takes years of effort to appear this effortless.”  -Los Angeles Times
