 On the heels of an extensive tour with the John Kadlecik Band in November and December, John Kadlecik comes home to Martyrs' on a Tuesday night. Those shows will feature Kadlecik in his solo 'Acousti'Lectric' format in which he plays and sings unaccompanied, but utilizes an electric guitar synthesizer to produce a myriad of guitar and keyboard sounds. Fans will remember this format from last November when Kadlecik toured the West. While Kadlecik will play from the songbook fans have come to expect, there will also be original material and non traditional covers within the sets.
