BREAK THE DARK

Experience Edgar Broughton’s powerful solo acoustic performance, a captivating tour de force that seamlessly blends new songs with timeless classics. His music, a mix of raw emotion and surprising diversity, continues to resonate with fans both old and new. Once hailed as a proto-punk, Edgar Broughton’s lifelong commitment to political activism shines through in many of his songs.

The iconic singer, songwriter, and guitarist, co-founded the Edgar Broughton Band, the trailblazing agit-rockers of the late ’60s and early ’70s. Pioneers of the free concert movement, the band became a powerful voice for protest, with Broughton standing out as one of the era’s most forceful and compelling protest singers. Yet, his music was always surprisingly diverse, blending raw power with accessibility across his vast repertoire of original songs.

Edgar Broughton’s new album, BREAK THE DARK, in some ways marks the place we have all arrived at.

This event will take place in Reid Hall’s Grande Salle Ginsberg-LeClerc, built in 1912 and extensively renovated in 2023 thanks to the generous support of Judith Ginsberg and Paul LeClerc.
