A professional
musician for more than 25 years, Thad Beckman has
paid his dues on the dusty roads which run from
California
to
New Jersey
and points
in between. His finely-crafted original songs are
the story of life, the voice of modern
America...from the growling delta blues of the Deep
South to evocative contemporary folk...bound by the
common thread of experience gleaned from the road.
You can hear
it in his voice....he's
been there.
As
a guitarist, Thad Beckman has been hired by Bo
Diddley, The Shirelles and Earl Thomas.
As a bandleader he soon found himself
sharing the stage with such renowned artists as B.B.
King, Albert Collins, James Cotton, The Band,
Emmylou Harris,
The Fabulous Thunderbirds, and Dan Hicks and
the Hot Licks.
"Beckman plays an engaging blend of
folk, singer-songwriter and blues music. Not
everyone can pull off such a combination, but
Beckman has chops, writing talent, a big personality
and a bag full of true stories which all dovetail
for a cool show.”
( Jim Beal, San Antonio Express-News)
