TICKET GIVEAWAY QUESTION-OF-THE-DAY for Wednesday, June 17

.
Today’s question asks you to identify one of the artists playing the show at the Greek Theatre on June 24:
.
!+> This artist, one of the headliners of the “THREE GIRLS AND THEIR BUDDY” concert, has been a member of Emmylou Harris’ band and earned Emmylou’s praise as, "one of the best guitar players of all time." Steve Earle, another former bandmate, pronounces this artist, "the best country singer working today." Records by artists ranging from Lucinda Williams to Trisha Yearwood have benefited from this artist’s vocal and instrumental prowess. And, as a songwriter, the artist is known for “taut, elegiac songs [that] could be mistaken for disinterred relics, resonant of a lost age when white and black music were casually consanguineous…” Add to that the artist’s role as a producer and engineer for Emmylou Harris, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Jim Lauderdale and others.
.
HERE’S THE QUESTION (get ready to work the web search engines!):
.
!+> Name the artist described above.
.
!+> Title your email, TIX CONTEST, WED.
.
!+> Send your answer to tiedtothetracks@hotmail.com
