David Graham and the Eskimo Brothers March 9

Direct from Nashville, David Graham and the Eskimo Brothers appear at the Warren Cultural Center on the square in Greenfield 7 p.m. Saturday, March 9.

For the past 16 years, Graham has been front man for the Nashville-based American roots music trio The Eskimo Brothers. His goals are simple: to be the biggest and best male entertainer he can, and to write and perform songs that are real. David’s influences range from Hank Williams, Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard to Elvis, KISS, Garth Brooks, AC/DC and Bob Seger to Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin and Frank Sinatra.

This reckless and manic show has been battle-tested and polished from over 300 shows a year, both in the honky-tonks of Nashville’s historic Lower Broadway, monthly shows in Memphis on Beale Street, as well as tours throughout the country.

These three self-proclaimed Hillbilly Rockers are “Too Rock N’ Roll for Country… Too Country for Rock N’ Roll, Having Too Much Fun to Care!”

David Graham and the Eskimo Brothers is the fifth in WCC’s 2023-24 “Locals and Legends” series.

Tickets are $20 for adults — students (high school and younger) are free! Order tickets at warrenculturalcenter.com.
