Jimmie Bratcher
Solomon's Temple Stage on Friday at 7:45PM
Kansas City guitarist, Jimmie Bratcher, aka The Electric Rev, is a prolific writer, who keeps busy touring a mix of churches, clubs, and prisons, alternately preaching and performing that requires interchangeable audience-grabbing abilities and employs his greatest gift - being a captivating storyteller. He has released a dozen albums, a cookbook, and two live DVDs since 2001 and now delivers his 13th album Far Enough, together with a 117-page companion book for the album “Far Enough Songs & Stories.” Bratcher collaborated fully with keyboardist, engineer, and producer Eric Stark to write or co-write the collection of eleven new tracks in a sophisticated presentation that expands the boundaries of “Blues Rock,” employing strings, brass, lap steel, and Irish penny whistle to back up Bratcher’s guitar work and providing a colorful landscape for his expansive tales of faith, discovery, love, loss, and life.
