SUMMARY:Tommy Emmanuel - Live at the Tennessee Theatre - 8/23
DESCRIPTION:Get Tickets Here! \nHailed as “one of the best acoustic guitarists in the world” by NPR’s World Cafe\, Tommy Emmanuel got his start at the age of six\, when he first began touring his native Australia with his family’s band. As a teenager\, he earned a reputation as a highly sought after sideman and session player\, and by his early twenties\, Emmanuel was playing on chart-topping hits and performing with acts like Air Supply and Men at Work. Inspired in part by his hero\, Chet Atkins (who would later become a friend\, mentor\, and collaborator)\, Emmanuel stepped out on his own as a solo artist in 1979\, releasing the first in a string of acclaimed instrumental albums that would make him an unlikely celebrity in his home country and beyond.

SUMMARY:Buffalo Traffic Jam — Mill & Mine — 9/20
DESCRIPTION:Tickets Here! \nBuffalo Traffic Jam is a folk band born in the heart of Bozeman\, Montana\, where its members\, Frankie Cassidy and Nathan Ross\, first crossed paths as students at Montana State University. United by a love for storytelling and the raw beauty of acoustic sound\, they began crafting music that evokes wide-open landscapes and the emotions that live quietly beneath the surface of everyday life. The result was a self-titled debut EP followed by singles “Rescue Me” and “Forgot Your Roots\,” the latter of which saw the band gain their first bit of online momentum\, leading to explosive growth in the past year. Their newest release\, the Take Me Home EP\, marks a defining moment in Buffalo Traffic Jam’s evolution—showcasing a deeper\, more expansive sound while staying grounded in the heartfelt lyricism and raw instrumentals that first won them fans. The\nproject weaves together themes of resilience\, nostalgia\, and self-discovery\, subjects that have become commonplace in the songwriting of Buffalo Traffic Jam. Since its release on Oct. 24\, the EP has picked up over 8 million streams across DSP’s.\nIn 2025 Buffalo Traffic Jam made their festival debuts at Under the Big Sky\, Redwest Fest\, and went on tour with country singer-songwriter Dylan Gossett. From dorm room jam sessions to packed venues across the US\, Buffalo Traffic Jam has stayed true to their roots.

SUMMARY:The Devil Makes Three — Live at the Bijou — 9/24
DESCRIPTION:Get Tickets Here! \nThe Devil Makes Three has always thrived in the spaces between genres\, where the grit of folk\, the soul of blues\, and the rebellious spirit of punk collide. Their music doesn’t just follow the American storytelling tradition—it redefines it. Whether evoking the deep melancholy of Delta blues or the frenetic energy of punk\, their sound is raw\, powerful\, and unmistakably their own. For over two decades\, this genre-defying trio has carved out a place in the American roots scene\, delivering high-energy performances that leave audiences captivated and wanting more. They’ve released seven studio albums and three live recordings\, with their latest\, Spirits\, marking a return to their stripped-down roots. \nFormed in 2002 in Santa Cruz\, California by Pete Bernhard and Cooper McBean\, the trio\, now featuring longtime collaborator MorganEve Swain (taking over on upright bass and vocals for Lucia Turino)\, has continued to evolve musically while staying rooted in their core sound. The Devil Makes Three has built a devoted fanbase by embracing the raw\, unpolished edge of acoustic music\, and their latest album\, Spirits\, adds yet another layer to this ever-expanding sonic palette. \nThe new album\, produced by Grammy-winner Ted Hutt (Old Crow Medicine Show\, Dropkick Murphys\, The Gaslight Anthem and Violent Femmes among others)\, takes listeners through a journey of grief\, addiction\, division\, and personal resilience. Songs like “Lights on Me” and “Spirits” delve into the emotional weight of loss and death\, reflecting Bernhard’s experience of losing close family members and friends during the album’s creation. Meanwhile\, tracks like “Half as High” and “Divide and Conquer” tackle broader social themes\, speaking to the ever-widening economic divide and political fragmentation in today’s volatile climate. \nWith frequent collaborator MorganEve Swain (from longtime tourmates Brown Bird)  taking over on upright bass and vocals for Lucia Turino on upright bass and vocals—the band recorded Spirits at Dreamland\, a converted church studio outside Woodstock\, New York\, where haunting thunderstorms mirrored the album’s somber\, introspective mood. The result is a powerful collection that marries the band’s signature Americana sound with new depth\, capturing the essence of resilience in the face of adversity. \nYet\, despite these heavy themes\, The Devil Makes Three maintains their core identity as a rhythm-driven\, live band meant for dancing and celebration. Their shows continue to bring together a diverse and dedicated fanbase\, where revelry and catharsis meet in equal measure.

SUMMARY:The Beths — Mill & Mine — 9/29
DESCRIPTION:Tickets Here! \nNew Zealand indie rock heroes The Beths’ latest album Straight Line Was A Lie is a catchy\, instant classic. Written in Los Angeles and self-recorded in the band’s hometown of Auckland\, Straight Line Was A Lie (their first release for ANTI-) follows 2022’s critically celebrated LP Expert in A Dying Field. Lead singer and songwriter Liz Stokes delves deeper into her psyche to address everything from roundabout progress to physical and mental health challenges\, and fraught family dynamics. Inspired by The Go-Go’s\, Olivia Rodrigo\, filmmaker Akira Kurosawa\, and Stephen King’s On Writing\, amongst others\, Stokes’ songwriting has achieved startling new depths of insight and vulnerability. Fans will agree that Straight Line Was A Lie is the most sharply observant\, truthful\, and poetic Beths project to date.

SUMMARY:Shinyribs — Live at the Bijou — 10/6
DESCRIPTION:Tickets Here! \nShinyribs reassembles the American song bag like a picker in a junkyard; Texas singer-songwriter\, East Tx blues\, Louisiana swamp n’ rhythm\, honky tonk\, Oklahoma swing\, Golden-Triangle Cajun\, and Arkansas jazz are all filtered through the singular vision of Kevin Russell\, one of Austin’s most celebrated and criminally underrated singer-songwriters. \nThe Austin-based supergroup has entered a bold new chapter with the small baller “Shortribs” configuration — a tightly arranged powerhouse built to showcase what has always been at the heart of the Shinyribs experience: Russell’s legendary songwriting chops\, his iconic voice\, and the infamous hi-jinks of the self-proclaimed world’s oldest living male exotic dancer. Hip shaking\, booty twerking\, arm flapping\, high kicking and karate chopping good times are guaranteed to send you home with aching cheeks and tear-stained laughter. \nAt the rhythmic core is Keith Langford on drums — Russell’s musical partner of 30 years\, a bond forged in the crucible of legendary\, The Gourds— and as essential to the Shinyribs sound as the backbeat itself. Mason Hankamer holds down the low end on bass\, pulling double duty as co-producer of the last 3 Ribs platters and musical director\, tightening the arrangements and the show into something leaner and more purposeful than ever. The Delta Dawns — both hailing from the famous Memphis/Mississippi alluvial plain — have been elevated to a full dynamic singing sisterhood: Kellee Broadway\, who doubles on percussion\, and Schaefer Llana\, who shakes the chandeliers and plays some guitar too. Eric Baker\, a rising star in the Austin scene\, frisks the pianoforte like a long-lost Leon Russell. Rounding out the band — and perhaps its most exciting new voice — is lead guitarist and pedal steel wizard Cat Clemons. \nRussell himself says it best: “Clemons\, beyond just notes and licks galore\, possesses the ability to communicate psychically with audiences. It’s really a feat to be experienced. More than just being able to say you were there\, one will be able to try and describe their experience.” \nA Shinyribs show these days runs the gamut — from tongue-in-cheek winks and nudges to poignant stories of family\, loss\, grief\, and love. The poetic joy joins the musical melancholy like a rainbow over the swamp. Above and below\, a human collaboration of deep knowledge and soul\, expressed with a grace and groove unlike anything else. \nShinyribs has been nominated and won a slew of awards and honors\, but you will be the one going home with that Shiny trophy feeling. We are so excited you get to see Shinyribs soon. Lucky you! \nIf you’ve never heard of Shinyribs\, that’s a good thing. Now you’ve got something to look forward to. Let’s try and keep this a secret. We don’t want a bunch of dilettantes and phonies ruining our good time. \nDISCOGRAPHY: Well After Awhile (2010) · Gulf Coast Museum (2013) · Okra Candy (2015) · I Got Your Medicine (2017) · The Kringle Tingle (2018) · Fog & Bling (2019) · Late Night TV Gold (2021) · Transit Damage (2023) · Leaving Time (2025) \nReal Alligator\, Shinyribs’ 10th album\, is due Autumn 2026.

SUMMARY:The Brook & The Bluff — Mill & Mine — 10/6
DESCRIPTION:Tickets Here! \nThe Brook & The Bluff return to their rock & roll roots with Werewolf – a high-voltage\, live- inspired album that turns up the amps\, pushes the tempo\, and howls in four-part harmony. Fueled by the sharp songwriting and stacked vocals that have defined their catalog\, the collection captures the raw\, supercharged energy of the band’s concerts. \nAfter nearly a decade of nonstop touring – earning hundreds of millions of streams with fan favorites like “Halfway Up” and “Everything Is Just a Mess” – the band regrouped in Nashville\, meeting every morning to write and rehearse like their early days in Birmingham\, Alabama. Life unfolded in the background: weddings\, divorces\, real-world growing pains. Inside the room\, it was all music. \nThe band channels the swamp rock spirit of legendary artists like Creedence\, Petty\, and The Eagles\, delivering loud\, melodic\, deeply human songs like lead single “Super Bowl Sunday” – a crashing\, introspective anthem about ego and emotional blind spots. “The goal was to treat the record like a live set\,” says frontman Joseph Settine. And that’s exactly what they’ve done. Armed with a new album and an unflinching spirit\, The Brook & The Bluff are ready to hit the road again to continue their 2026 Werewolf tour. The band boasts a history of sold out headline\ntours across the continent\, a number of major festival performances\, and have supported artists like Noah Kahan\, Mt. Joy\, The Avett Brothers\, Ashe\, and Rainbow Kitten Surprise.

SUMMARY:Willow Avalon — Live at the Bijou — 10/22
DESCRIPTION:Get Tickets Here! \nOriginally from Georgia and now based in Nashville\, Willow Avalon’s musical journey began with her first word\, “Elvis.” Raised by her mother and grandmother in a small Southern town\, she grew up playing piano in church and taught herself guitar at age 12\, using songwriting as both an escape and a means of self-expression through a life-journey that has been\nanything but straight-forward. Her much-praised 2025 debut album\, Southern Belle Raisin’ Hell\, cemented her as one of country music’s most compelling new voices\, blending classic country\, Americana\, and pop influences. She has performed at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert\, CBS Mornings\, and the Grand Ole Opry\, as well as festivals like Stagecoach\, C2C\, CMA\, and Lollapalooza\, bringing her electrifying presence to global audiences. With a sharp wit and rebellious spirit\, she has shared stages with legends and rising stars alike\, including Willie Nelson\, Bob Dylan\, Zach Bryan\, Cage the Elephant\, Paul Cauthen\, Charles Wesley Godwin\, and more. Solidified by sold-out headline tours in North America\, Europe\, and Australia\, as well as hundreds of millions of views across social content\, Willow Avalon is redefining what it means to be a modern Southern storyteller.

SUMMARY:Nick Shoulders: Apocalypse\, Never! Tour — Live at the Bijou — 10/24
DESCRIPTION:Get Tickets Here! \nRefugia Blues\, the fifth album from Nick Shoulders\, is a record of big ideas and small\, intimate moments. \nThese nine songs are rooted in the stylings of Southern traditional music. Sparse\, timeless\, and unamplified\, they’re older than the sounds Shoulders saluted on albums like 2023’s All Bad\, with its loud\, whooping anthems for roadhouses and sweaty dancehalls. Here\, Shoulders isn’t shouting over a band. He isn’t bringing a crowd to its feet with dance-ready tempos. Rather\, he’s exploring another side of his craft by stepping up to a ribbon microphone as a solo performer\, delivering each song with acoustic instruments and a voice that’s equal parts country croon\, Appalachian yodel\, and high-lonesome field holler. As he explains it\, Refugia Blues isn’t just a call to action; it’s a call to rest\, too. \n“This is my Nebraska\,” he says\, nodding to Bruce Springsteen’s lo-fi acoustic record from 1982. “Some people listen to Bruce for the E Street Band and the big radio hits\, but I like the intimacy and rawness of Nebraska instead. I’d like to think of Refugia Blues as a little window into the heart\, as opposed to the drumbeat of a revolution.” \nEven so\, Refugia Blues resolutely pushes for change. Shoulders’ interpretation of American roots music has always been more progressive and punky than the trucks-and-beers conservatism that passes for modern-day country\, and he isn’t checking his activism at the door anytime soon. Refugia Blues does dive into personal territory\, from “Bored Fightin'” (a self-effacing look at Shoulders’ reputation as a left-of-center radical) to the heart-on-sleeve love song “Tatum Spring\,” but it balances the micro with the macro\, too. Topics like climate collapse\, radical anthropology\, generative disruption\, and southern identity run throughout the record\, adding weight to Shoulders’ melodies\, balancing his witty humor with topical weight. The purpose\, he says\, is to utilize his music as “a Trojan Horse that can be accepted by people who don’t hear anything to challenge their sense of comfort and superiority. That’s always been the goal — to say what needs to be said\, but to intersperse it with joy\, humor\, and melody.” \nIt’s a balance that Shoulders has struck in the past\, but never so nakedly alone as he does on the opening track\, “Apocalypse Never.” He wrote the a cappella ballad in the front seat of his band’s shuttle bus\, taking a hard look at each passing town\, noting all the “individualized apocalypses” — houseless encampments\, impoverished communities\, barren cornfields — that unfolded on the other side of the windshield. “Our world has been through countless apocalypses\,” he says. “The refusal to give in to the direness of our circumstances\, while still acknowledging it\, is key to surviving this moment in our history.” \nFor Shoulders\, singing isn’t just a passion; it’s practically a birthright. Born to a musical family with deep roots in Arkansas\, Appalachia\, and Louisiana\, he grew up listening to old-world folk music\, black gospel\, and other sounds that existed long before genres were even invented. “My vocal style is rooted as much in growing up in mountainous Arkansas and having to shout across vast distances to greet my neighbors as it is in my family’s very old way of singing\,” he says. “The way I sing is older than capitalism. Being part of this tradition isn’t meant to be regressive; it’s meant to be liberating. There were time before cash registers and factories\, where people sang like this when they sowed their corn\, and I’m trying to embody that.” \nRefugia Blues was recorded in a home studio outside of Fayetteville\, Arkansas. Tracked to analog tape in two inspired days and laced with light touches of guitar\, banjo\, and fiddle\, the album explores the slower\, softer textures of Shoulders’ music without pulling any punches. On his bare-boned cover of Randy Travis’ “Diggin’ Up Bones\,” he slows down the uptempo classic to a warbling waltz. On “Deux Hurry\,” he taps into his inner Roger Miller\, using wordplay to make light of the darkness that lives within all of us. On “Hill Folk\,” he nods sympathetically to the southerners who’ve witnessed their cultural inheritance become commodified and commercialized over the past half-century. And on the brave\, bold “Dixie Be Damned\,” he sings about “manifest destitution” and the sickness of contemporary American consciousness\, packaging everything into a three-and-a-half minute country gem that’s as tuneful as it is topical. \nBy bridging the gap between past and present\, Shoulders speaks pointedly and poetically about today’s problems\, even as he nods to styles that existed long before the 21st century. “When you listen to the origins of country music in the ’20s and ’30s\, you’re hearing the voice of southern rural dissent against coal companies\, repression\, and depression\,” he says. “The old ballad singers of the Ozarks were conduits for current events\, documenting not only their own lives\, but also dispossession and economic strife on a much bigger scale. Being part of that great stream of rural protest music is something I’m trying to tap into. I want to say things that feel timeless\, deep\, and rooted\, but also touch on topics like endless war and a government collapsing into dictatorship. I want to be part of that tradition of dissent.” \nAt once academic and accessible\, Refugia Blues isn’t just a deep dive into southernness\, but also into Shoulders himself. Released during an era of big-budget country-pop smashes\, it stands tall as something else entirely: a raw\, resolute version of American country music\, punctuated with humor and heavy insights\, stacked high with songs that go down easy but linger in the minds of those willing to invest the time.

SUMMARY:Bruce Cockburn w/ Livingston Taylor — Live at the Bijou — 11/2
DESCRIPTION:Get Tickets Here! \nABOUT LIVINGSTON TAYLOR: \nLivingston Taylor’s career as a professional musician spans more than five decades\, encompassing performance\, songwriting\, recording\, and teaching. Often described as equal parts Mark Twain\, college professor\, and musical icon\, Livingston maintains an active touring schedule of over 100 shows a year\, delighting audiences with his wit\, warmth\, and an expansive repertoire drawn from more than 25 albums\, along with beloved classics. \nAs a songwriter\, Livingston has penned Top-40 hits recorded by his brother James Taylor\, and over the years has shared the stage with artists such as Joni Mitchell\, Linda Ronstadt\, Fleetwood Mac\, and Jimmy Buffett. Equally at home across genres—folk\, pop\, classical\, gospel\, and jazz—his performances range from upbeat storytelling and intimate ballads to full orchestral concerts\, all delivered with his trademark ease and connection. \nFor over three decades\, alongside his performing career\, Livingston served as a full professor at Berklee College of Music\, where he created and taught the acclaimed course Stage Performance. His former students include Charlie Puth\, John Mayer\, Susan Tedeschi\, Molly Tuttle\, Liz Longley\, and Gavin DeGraw. Today\, Livingston takes this course “on the road\,” teaching at colleges and institutions nationwide\, including the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami\, NASA’s Goddard Space Center\, and Tulane Law School. His book\, Stage Performance\, drawn from the course and more than 50 years (5\,000+ hours) of real-world stage experience\, has become a go-to resource for performers and presenters seeking to elevate their craft from good to truly professional. \nAn airplane-flying\, motorcycle-riding\, singing storyteller\, Livingston Taylor continues to captivate audiences wherever he performs—whether solo\, with a band\, or in front of an orchestra—bringing heart\, humor\, and humanity to every stage. \nABOUT BRUCE COCKBURN: \nO Sun O Moon \n“Time takes its toll\, but in my soul I’m on a roll\,” Bruce Cockburn sings on his latest studio album\, O Sun O Moon. Smart and catchy\, it’s the kind of memorable line—like “gotta kick at the darkness ’til it bleeds daylight” from his classic song “Lovers in a Dangerous Time”—the world has become used to hearing from Cockburn. \nAn inspired poet and exceptional guitarist\, the award-winning artist has spent his entire career kicking at the darkness with songs that tackle topics from politics and human rights to the environment and spirituality. And he’s not letting up. While other singer-songwriters his age are slowing down\, Cockburn\, on the eve of his 78 th birthday\, has released a dozen new compositions as powerful as any he’s written. You could even say his songwriting is on a roll as well. \nExquisitely recorded in Nashville with his longtime producer\, Colin Linden\, O Sun O Moon exudes a newfound simplicity and clarity\, as Cockburn focuses on more spiritual than topical concerns this time around\, looking back and taking stock. “I think it’s a product of age to a certain extent\,” he explains\, “and seeing the approaching horizon.” Then\, lightening the tone\, he adds with a laugh: “I think these are exactly the kind of songs that an old guy writes.” \nOld or not\, Cockburn exhibits a palpable urgency on the opening “On a Roll\,” playing a driving resonator guitar with all the vigor of his veteran blues heroes. Similarly “To Keep the World We Know\,” one of the album’s few explicitly topical numbers\, bristles with Cockburn’s buzzing dulcimer as he and Inuk music star Susan Aglukark\, with whom he co-wrote the song\, sing about the growing threat of global warming. \nStill\, most of the songs strike gentler tones\, from the jazz sway of “Push Come to Shove” and the folky drone of “Into the Now” to the string-laden “Us All” and the hymn-like “Colin Went Down to the Water.” The latter\, one of several songs Cockburn wrote while on a month-long holiday with family on the Hawaiian island of Maui\, describes the drowning of a friend. “It’s not about Colin Linden\,” Cockburn is quick to point out\, “but someone I knew from San Francisco who’d \nmoved to Maui. It was tragic and quite surreal because I got a voicemail message from him when I was in Maui\, saying ‘Welcome to paradise\,’ and then found out afterward that he’d died.” \nSpeaking of surreal\, another song written while in Maui\, the whimsical “King of the Bolero\,” is unlike anything else on the album. Over a woozy clarinet and drunken\, New Orleans-style horns\, Cockburn paints a cartoon portrait of an oversized barroom musician “with a double chin all the way round his neck and a pot belly in the back.” Is it a dream or a figment of his imagination? In a gravelly voice\, Cockburn leaves us guessing as he sings “it’s moon high noon—I’m not in my Bed.” \n“The people I was with in Maui were quite perplexed when they heard that song\,” muses Cockburn. “After hearing the other things I’d written there\, they wondered ‘where did that come from?’ It really came from out of the blue. I remembered when I was in high school one of my friends made a crack about an old blues singer who used to come through who he said had a double chin in the back. It was a funny thing to hear at the time and it stayed with me. I didn’t want to make it specifically about a black blues guy\, so I mention Minnesota Fats and Fatty Arbuckle as well as Fats Domino and Fats Waller.” \nAs with so many Cockburn albums\, the musicianship on O Sun O Moon is superb. Along with usual suspects Linden on guitar\, Janice Powers on keyboards and Gary Craig on drums\, the album features bassist Viktor Krauss\, drummer Chris Brown\, accordionist Jeff Taylor\, violinist Jenny Scheinman and multi-instrumentalist Jim Hoke. And Cockburn’s guest vocalists include Shawn Colvin\, Buddy Miller as well as mellifluous singers Allison Russell\, Sarah Jarosz and Ann and Regina McCrary\, daughters of gospel great Rev. Samuel McCrary\, one of the founders of the Fairfield Four. The McCrary sisters shine brightest on the title track\, whose full name is “O Sun By Day O Moon By Night.” They sing the euphoric chorus of the song which relates\, during spoken verses\, a dream Cockburn had in which he makes the journey to heaven. “In the dream\, which was really powerful\,” says Cockburn\, “I see myself silhouetted on a ridge with this jar of blood pouring it on the soil. It wasn’t scary or disturbing at all.” Cockburn adds that he wrote the line “and if that sun and moon don’t shine” in the spirit of songs from the folk ballad “Mockingbird” to the blues number “Bo Diddley.” \nThe album’s jazzy closer\, “When You Arrive\,” finds Cockburn confessing to feeling his age when he sings “You’re limping like a three-legged canine\, backbone creaking like a cheap shoe.” But it’s clearly a song of acceptance\, about eventually slipping one’s mortal coil\, as he’s joined on the chorus by all of his guest vocalists\, singing “bells will ring when you arrive.” \nO Sun O Moon includes just one song without vocals\, “Haiku\,” a four-minute showcase of Cockburn’s fleet-fingered guitar work\, where his previous studio recording\, 2019’s Crowing Ignites\, was a collection of all instrumental numbers. In between those albums\, Cockburn\, the Order of Canada recipient\, 13-time Juno Award winner and Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductee released a 50th anniversary box set\, greatest hits package and rarities collection. \nNever one to rest on his laurels—even when\, as he notes\, “time takes its toll\,” Cockburn keeps finding and conquering new challenges\, never repeating himself in the process. “I just don’t want to ever keep doing the same thing\,” he says. “I’m grateful that I can keep on doing anything at this point\,” he adds. “My body doesn’t hold up and perform the way it once did.” \nThat may be so. But the legendary musician has just made his 38th studio album. And it may stand as one of his best of his long and storied career.

SUMMARY:Eddie 9V — Live at the Bijou — 11/11
DESCRIPTION:Get Tickets Here! \nEddie 9V has an endless stockpile of cool stories – and you’ll find twelve of them on his most recent studio album Saratoga\, released in November 2024 on the fabled Ruf Records label. A thrilling mix of Southern soul\, blues\, rock\, and funk\, Saratoga proved to be a gamechanger: a road trip-ready record filled with razor-sharp observations\, vintage textures\, and raw humanity. It also marked a major career milestone: Eddie 9V’s soulful sound began reaching hundreds of thousands of new fans across the globe. Now signed to Easy Eye Sound — the Nashville-based label founded by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys — Eddie 9V is preparing to release a brand-new album in 2026. And the momentum keeps growing. \nSince Saratoga dropped\, Eddie’s monthly listeners on Spotify have exploded from 8\,000 to peaking at over 800\,000.. Songs like “Halo\,” “Saratoga” and “Love Moves Slow” have become SiriusXM Spectrum-certified tracks\, gaining steady spins and major audience love. \nBut this rise is years in the making. From the day he first slung a guitar on a local Georgia stage\, Eddie 9V (born Brooks Mason) has been an artist to watch. First cutting his teeth in cover bands and regional blues circuits\, he made the leap to full-time frontman with a name that couldn’t be ignored. “I wanted to start from scratch – and I ain’t never heard of no bluesman named Eddie 9V.” \nThat leap paid off. His early albums Left My Soul In Memphis (2019) and Little Black Flies (2021) turned heads for their wild energy and vintage flair. 2022's Capricorn was a breakout moment\, earning rave reviews from Classic Rock\, The Guardian\, and more. It debuted at #1 on the blues charts before being dethroned by Bonnie Raitt — “a cool story to be able to say\,”  Eddie laughs. \nBy the time Saratoga arrived\, Eddie 9V had evolved into a full-spectrum songwriter\, tapping into deep wells of soul and storytelling alongside his brother and longtime collaborator Lane Kelly. Much of the album was recorded at their Echo Deco Studio in Atlanta\, with some sessions at Denver’s Crown Lanes Studio. From the disco-tinged horns of the title track to the fuzzed-out dreamscape of “Delta\,” it’s a record that widened the lens without losing the grit. \nNow with a major label partner\, national tours\, SiriusXM airplay\, and streaming growth that shows no signs of slowing\, Eddie 9V is poised for the next chapter. A new album is on the horizon. The band is sharper than ever. And if Saratoga was the ignition\, what's coming next is the open highway. “I’m already writing new songs\,” he says. “You never stop.”

SUMMARY:Foy Vance - The Wake World Tour — Live at the Bijou — 4/10
DESCRIPTION:Get Tickets Here! \nThe seventh album from Foy Vance\, The Wake marks the completion of a decades-long journey defined by tireless soul-searching and life-altering revelation. While playing a gig on the Spanish island of Lanzarote in January 1999\, the Northern Ireland-born singer/songwriter experienced a moment of unprecedented transcendence onstage\, then learned the next morning that his father had suffered a fatal heart attack that very night. Overcome by grief and a galvanizing clarity\, Vance immediately resolved to create seven albums informed by the loss of his father—a traveling preacher who moved their family to the American South when Vance was a baby\, and set him on his life’s path by teaching him to play guitar early in his childhood. At turns devastating and ecstatic and wildly illuminating\, The Wake reveals an artist highly attuned to the task of preserving the human spirit in an often-unforgiving world. \nProduced by Ethan Johns (the Brit Award-winning producer known for his work with Paul McCartney\, Ray LaMontagne\, and more)\, The Wake brings Vance’s gritty vocal work to a potent convergence of folk and soul and Southern blues\, instilling every moment with an unbridled vitality. In his intimate exploration of the human condition\, the Scotland-based artist muses on matters both intensely personal (e.g.\, fatherhood\, heartbreak) and wholly existential (the slippery essence of time\, the looming crisis of AI’s unchecked ascent). The final volume in a run of albums that began with his 2007 debut Hope—and also includes standouts like 2016’s The Wild Swan (executive-produced by Elton John)\, 2019’s From Muscle Shoals and To Memphis (recorded at the historic FAME Studios and Sam Phillips Recordings Studios\, respectively)\, and 2021’s Signs of Life (partly made at Vance’s home in the Scottish Highlands)—the result is the purest distillation yet of his truly singular artistry\, imparting a defiant joy into songs of longing and loss and hard-won acceptance.
