The Oaksong Music Society brings to town Emmy-Winning Singer-Songwriter, Film and Television Composer, Ernest Troost. Ernest Troost may well be one of the best singer-songwriters that you’ve never heard of. A mainstay of the Los Angeles singer-songwriter scene, The Oaksong Music Society is proud to present him in his first-ever appearance in Redding. Troost’s evocative style combines folk, country and Piedmont blues style guitar picking with timeless stories and colorful character portrayals drawn from the American past and present. His songwriting and original gift of melody and cinematic lyrics call to mind Randy Newman and Paul Simon at their peak . The door opens at 7:15 p.m. with the show starting at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are available at The Music Connection, 3086 Bechelli Lane, Redding. Call (530) 223-2040 for info and tickets.
