Last Charge of the White Horse

Songwriter Jean-Paul Vest has seen the Washington Senators play baseball. He's broken his right thumb, baled hay, driven a forklift, learned algebra in French, walked in the painted desert, and been stung in the head by a large, angry hornet. His music sounds like it. He's also happily married with three great kids and some amazing friends. His music sounds like that, too. His albums with his band Last Charge of the Light Horse have charted as high as #1 on college radio stations across the country.
The guitar-bass-drums roots rock of the band's early releases has increasingly mixed with a willingness to experiment with varied styles and arrangements, to the point where guitarist Bob Stander's scorching guitar solo at the end of "Spoken" sounds right at home next to the banjo and tablas on "The Bill Comes Due." Those seeking a haunting clarinet solo or a bright trumpet fanfare need look no farther. And while keen listeners may notice the unusual time signatures (7/4, 5/4, 11/8), the music is deeply rooted in the songwriting traditions of 60s and 70s rock, folk, and pop.
This event is free to LIMEHOF members, and free with paid Hall of Fame admission to non-members.
