On a musical journey, Sonny Landreth's still taking chances.(TICKET)
Byline: KEVIN O'HORAN kevin.o'horan@heraldtribune.com
It will be six weeks before Sonny Landreth steps onto the stage at the Acadian Symphony building in his hometown of Lafayette, La., for a simple Christmas show.
Six weeks more of touring, with stops in Philadelphia, New York and Sarasota, to belt out again and again tales of lost loves and passion plays, even the woes befalling Mother Earth.
Six weeks of late nights and long days and the quest to coax just a little more love from his slide guitar.
Six weeks: no sweat. Figuratively, of course.
"The logistics, the coming and going, the routine of getting from one place to another, has a cumulative effect," said Landreth, 54. "It really takes its toll.
"But the music is something else. That really keeps me fired up. If you can hold on to that, you keep going."
