Eben Pariser is the gunslinger, with guitar sensibility straight out of Abilene and a voice like a velvet tent revival, perfect for the church of the unrepentant. Underpinning the groove is Tony Montalbano\u2019s laid-back Pacific-meets-Delta percussion, and Craig Akin\u2019s bass, as sweet and complex as Kansas City barbecue.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets are available online or by calling EOH at $20, $18 EOH members, $15 students.\u00a0 Premium seating applies in the first 4 rows with additional charges of $10 in the front row and $5 in rows b-c-d.
