Danny Schmidt performs in Winnsboro this Friday

Austin native Danny Schmidt is bringing his talents this Friday to The Bowery Stage in Winnsboro.

The Chicago Tribune declared Schmidt, “One of the 50 most significant singer-songwriters of folk in the last 50 years, together with other such notable singer-songwriters as Harry Chapin, Leonard Cohen, Judy Collins, Bob Dylan and John McCutcheon.”

Pretty heady praise for someone who writes ethereal songs about stained glass, a girl with lantern eyes, paper cranes and ten penny nails.

Schmidt’s songs are not background noise. They make you sit up, listen and think. Usually, you’ll need to peel back the layers of meaning, one listen at a time. But what rewards you will reap.

Tickets are $12 in advance, $15 at the door and $20 for reserved seating. They are available by calling the Winnsboro Emporium at 903-342-6140 or the arts center at 903-342-0686 or by logging on to winnsborocenterforthearts.com
