ACMA Presents Darren Nicholson Band - Ralph Leesberg opens

I have been around world-class musicians and concerts since I was a boy, and have promoted concerts and events most of my adult life. I am old enough to have seen classic artists like Bill Monroe, the Stanley Brothers, the original Seldom Scene, Tony Rice, Doc and Merle Watson, and New Grass Revival, among scores of others, as well as classic rock groups such as the Rolling Stones, Mountain, The Eagles and too many others to mention, along with new stars of today such as Tyler Childers and Sturgill Simpson.

Aside from being superb musicians, singers, and songwriters, all of these artists shared (or share) one special trait – the ability to connect with their audiences and make the audiences feel that their songs were written just for them.

No matter the size of the venue or audience – from huge stadium tours to intimate listening rooms – these artists all possess the magical ability to make you feel as if you were the only person there, and that they were performing that song just for you.

Darren Nicholson has this unique ability as well. Combining the instrumental talent to blister anything with strings, along with incredible vocals and superb songwriting skills, Darren puts the icing on the performance cake with a wicked sense of humor and compelling personality that will bring even the most hardened audience out of their seats.

Not only is he a world-class artist, but Darren is genuinely a world-class guy, always positive and always helping others. Don’t miss the chance to see this incredible artist perform his musical magic, in person or on a recording—you’ll be glad you did, and you’ll likely make a new friend in the process!

We don’t get to see/hear enough of Ralph Leesburg on our ACMA stage. Don’t miss a rare performance when he opens the show for the Darren Nicholson Band! About Ralph: Ralph has been making music for more than 50 years but it has only been the last 20 that he has set intentions on positive music. A little folksy, a little rootsy, a little bluesy, a little bit of rock’n’roll. And something he likes to call Metaphysical Country. He really likes sharing the vibe and hopes to leave you smiling.
