As the mercury rises, in the vanishing light of long summer evenings comes lots and lots of music on stages everywhere.
On those nights during that fleeting period of time before the sun sets and the long shadows begin to fall among the trees, I long to return to the Orchard Sessions at The Farm at Old Edwards to listen to music and be present amidst the gardens and among friends.
I am looking forward to Thursday, July 11, when Brandon Crocker takes center stage for an intimate acoustic concert, promising an evening of musical enchantment.
Crocker’s soothing vocals evoke the spirit of legends like James Taylor while infusing his own creative chord progressions akin to the brilliance of John Mayer.
Though deeply personal, Crocker’s music resonates universally transporting listeners to a time of simplicity and emotional exploration. Through poignant storytelling and emotive lyricism, he navigates the human experience, offering solace and connection in a world often fraught with complexity.
Originally from Chicago, Crocker began his creative journey at a young age, immersing himself in theatre and music. He later pursued his passion at the Savannah College of Art and Design, focusing on Film and Photography, eventually making his mark in the bustling creative scenes of Hollywood and New York City. It was during his time spent abroad, particularly in locales like France and Brazil, that Crocker’s songs gained a profound complexity and depth; his music infused with a renewed richness of perspective.
This global influence shines through in his debut EP, Lazy Day, released in 2012. More than just an album, Lazy Day challenges contemporary norms while exploring the profound simplicity of everyday life and relationships. As one fan eloquently put it, the EP invites listeners to bask in the serenity of a sunlit day, drifting away from worries and embracing tranquility on the water’s surface.
Join us for an evening of melodic reflection as Crocker’s songs transport us to a realm where time stands still. The shows begin each evening at 6:00 PM and finish at 8:00 PM. Admission is $25 for Old Edwards Inn and Half-Mile Farm Hotel Guests & Members, and general admission is $40 and includes light bites and a cash bar.
The session will move indoors to the new Orchard House in the event of rain. For updates and to book online visit Old EdwardsHospitality.com/OrchardSessions.
