Picking up his roots music

With Uncle Tupelo and Son Volt anchoring his resume, Jay Farrar is one of the cornerstones of the roots-conscious alt-country genre. As he hits the road with a set focusing on his latest album, “Terroir Blues,” the singer-songwriter will be backed by the Washington, D.C., band Canyon, which also opens the show.
