More than a dozen years into his acclaimed career, singer/songwriter Chris Kasper has gotten back to the bluesy basics with his fifth album: “O, the Fool.”

Inspired by Delta blues, folk music, and the string arrangements of Hollywood film scores, “O, the Fool” was recorded on both ends of an 800-mile move that took Kasper from Philadelphia to Nashville. He’d already spent much of his adulthood on the road, traveling from city to city, building his fanbase one show at a time. Meanwhile, back at home, his friends were putting down roots and starting families of their own. Kasper couldn’t help but question his own choices, and it’s that swirl of contrasting feelings — uncertainty, determination and wanderlust — that fuels “O, the Fool.”

The Nashville transplant will bring his talents to the Treehouse Café stage at 8 p.m. Sunday, May 27 for a a 21-and-older concert event. The cost of a reserved table seat is $15. Visit www.treehousebainbridge.com to learn more and purchase.

The performance will include a fiddler and backing vocalist Kiley Ryan.

The latest album’s title was born during a coffeeshop meeting with a friend, who spilled a pack of tarot cards across the table. The first card was the Fool: a traveler with a bag slung over his shoulder, headed toward some unknown destination. The illustration reminder Kasper of himself. Weeks later, another friend found the same card and brought it to Kasper, saying the two troubadours resembled one another.

Kasper agreed. “The card embodies that feeling of wandering,” he said. “It reminded me of the journey that music takes you on, and you can’t predict where it’s gonna take you.”
