In a world of electronic beats and over-produced soundtracks, there乌鸦传媒檚 something to say about the minimalist power of the acoustic guitar.

That乌鸦传媒檚 the belief of Calgary singer/songwriter Christian Hudson, who brings his indie acoustic folk jams to Lake Country乌鸦传媒檚 Creekside Theatre March 10.

乌鸦传媒淚 love that the production aspect is so minimal,乌鸦传媒� Hudson said of his love for the acoustic folk genre. 乌鸦传媒淭he guitar holds so much weight as it did 100 years ago. It乌鸦传媒檚 great that it can still thrive.乌鸦传媒�

While it乌鸦传媒檚 a love Hudson learned early on, he first picked up the strings about eight years ago.

乌鸦传媒淚 really wanted a guitar when I was a kid,乌鸦传媒� Hudson said. 乌鸦传媒淚 just saw my friends play and wanted to give it a go.乌鸦传媒�
