Singer-songwriter Tim Easton performs May 23 at Ignition Music in Goshen

GOSHEN — Tim Easton performs at 7:30 p.m. May 23 at Ignition Music Garage, 120 E. Washington St.

Sadie Gustafson-Zook, who released a new album on May 10, "Where I Wanna Be," opens the show.

Raised in Akron, Ohio, Easton was influenced by a combination of pop icons (The Beatles, The Rolling Stones) and bluegrass/folk legends (Doc Watson, John Prine), according to a press release.

After college, Easton busked in the streets of Paris, London, Dublin, Amsterdam, Madrid and Prague, on and off for seven years, at one time alongside Anti-Folk hero Beck Hansen.

In the 1990s, he joined the band The Haynes Boys for one album, “Guardian Angel,” which was reissued in 2015.

Since the start of his solo career in 1998, Easton has released 11 studio albums, including 2001’s “The Truth About Us,” featuring members of Wilco as the backing band; 2003’s “Break Your Mother’s Heart,” which received four stars in the print version of Rolling Stone; 2019’s “Exposition,” a field recording partly recorded at the Gunter Hotel in San Antonio, Texas, where Robert Johnson cut his tracks; and 2021’s “You Don’t Really Know Me,” which features a full band.

On May 17, he released “Find Your Way,” which was recorded, mixed and mastered in his mother’s native Canada with an all-Canadian crew of studio musicians: Geoff Hicks, Jeremy Holmes, Jeanne Tolmie, Ryland Moranz and Tyler Lieb.

Easton also toured the entirety of Russia in 2019, representing American folk music, as part of the Forum for Cultural Exchange. He documented his experiences in a weekly column for No Depression magazine.

Tickets are $25-$18.
