CHRIS ECKMAN & THE LAST SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN BAND

Most known as the frontman of the widely-acknowledged American band The Walkabouts, Seattle-born Chris Eckman has for several years been rooted in Slovenia. His most recent release, The Last Side of the Mountain, features eleven poems by Slovene poet Dane Zajc, which have been translated into English and set to music. Zajc’s poetry – according to Chris – sounds like music. Besides songs by Dane Zajc, the concert will also showcase new music arrangements of older pieces by the cult Walkabouts and other compositions from Chris’ solo albums.
