Singer-songwriter Randy McAllister will perform on Friday, June 27, at 7:30 p.m. at the Gesa Powerhouse Theatre in Walla Walla.
Heartbreak, humor, high hair and tall Texas tales all play a part in the songwriting of McAllister. His music has been hailed as some of the most original and innovative being made today.
Raised in the small Texas town of Novice, McAllister is a fifth-generation Texan, whose father was both a fireman and musician. His father was a drummer in a band called The Flames. At a very young age, McAllister followed in his father’s footsteps. He began to take up drumming, but the drums were just the beginning for McAllister, as he began to develop as a singer and songwriter.
In performance, his songs combine energy and intensity with lyrics that dig into the tough topics. From urban violence, homelessness and other harsh realities to more common concerns like love and dating, McAllister’s songwriting approach is both truthful and funny.
Tickets are available for $18 and $14 online or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500.
