Saturday, April 8 at 7:30pm the Tower Theatre Foundation presents Les Stroud – Survivorman LIVE, a mix of survival stories from around the globe, folk roots-rock, and videography creating an inspiring concert experience. Now a fellow Oregonian, Les Stroud is best known as the Canadian Screen Award-winning producer, creator and star of the hit Discovery Channel series Survivorman.
Musically, Stroud is revered for his harmonica playing. “There is no denying the fact that Stroud aka Survivorman is a television icon, but as he stood on stage and ‘jammed’ some of his favorite songs for an appreciative crowd, it was as if he was in a room of friends and family,” wrote the Ada Herald. “There were no gimmicks in the performance; what you saw was a man who loves the Earth and hopes his talents can touch the lives of those around him.”
Performing with a trio, Stroud fuses modern technology with a powerful set of lungs (not withstanding having them punctured in a car crash in Mongolia!) to create his own original style. His impressive guitar and harp playing has allowed him to share the stage with Slash, Journey, Steven Stills, Blues Traveler, Chicago, Montgomery Gentry, The Roots and Alice Cooper dubbed him “the Hendrix of
the Harmonica.”
