6 David Duchovny in Concert
Thursday, Feb. 23, doors open at 7 p.m./show starts at 8 p.m.
David Duchovny and his band will be performing songs from his 2015 debut, “Hell or Highwater,” along with some brand new tracks. Known primarily for his television and film work, most notably his portrayal of FBI Agent Fox Mulder on the iconic Fox science fiction television series “The X-Files,” actor, writer, and director Duchovny didn’t even pick up a guitar until his early fifties, but by 2015, the 54-year-old had amassed enough material to put out an album of original music. The two-time Golden Globe winner cites artists like Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Wilco, R.E.M., and the Flaming Lips as inspirations, and his debut studio long player offers up an evocative blend of country, folk, and brooding alternative rock.
