Dodson and The Lowdown to entertain at Wayside Theatre

DEXTER — David Dodson and The Lowdown will play their folk, rock, blues, jazz and country music at 7 p.m. at the Wayside Theatre at 7 p.m. on Saturday, July 27. Tickets are $12. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. No reservations are needed.

According to event organizers, Dodson plays a mean guitar, tells a good story, sings like a bird and just loves what he does. He writes songs that range from poignant to hilarious, all crafted with a masterful touch.

The Lowdown is John and Rachel Nicholas and Michael Nickerson. John and Rachel Nicholas have been making music together for many years. Their soulful songs speak straight to the heart, and their tight harmonies sound like they’re singing with one voice. John plays acoustic and electric guitars and Rachel adds percussion.

Michael Nickerson was born in Belfast and has been a lifelong musician. He holds down the bottom end on upright bass and occasionally adds great blues harp to the arrangements. Right away, you can tell he loves music and, as Dodson says, he’s a darned good guy.

Add them all together and you have an embarrassment of riches delivered with passion and joy. With the rock-solid Michael Nickerson on bass, John and David on acoustic and electric guitars and the dynamic David-Rachel-John vocal trio, their songs come alive with passion and joy.

The intermission will offer baked goodies and pretty good coffee for sale. There is a door prize and a 50/50 raffle.

Organizers say the 100-year-old hall, located at 851 North Dexter Rd., offers comfy theater seating, excellent lighting and sound, ample parking, indoor plumbing and HVAC, and a friendly staff of Grangers
