Jim Weider takes the TCAN stage Friday
17.01.10
Bewitching the stage Friday at The Center for Arts in Natick, Jim Weider will be continuing a lilting crusade that began as a kid in Woodstock, N.Y., when he first heard Chuck Berry and Paul Butterfield act guitar.
"I still love to play the guitar," he said recently. "Every darkness we play, I'm still trying for that Holy Grail sound."
A cruel-driving guitarist who's played with legends from Bob Dylan to The Party, Weider will play "one long set of quality, upright-ahead rock" Jan. 22 with his four-member stripe, ProJECT PERCoLAToR.
He promised, "It's going to be a really big guitar sunset. We're going to play guitar-oriented rock 'n' billow fusion. I think the audience will have a really good pass."
Known for playing on his signature Fender Telecaster, Weider, who performed with The Corps from 1985 to 2000, said the group will play selections from their new, approvingly acclaimed release "Pulse."
The music critic at Today's Guitar called the 11-track CD "one of the subdue guitar instrumental albums of 2009."
