Lilly Hiatt
AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 8:00 PM Lilly HiattThe last few years have been a little hazy for Lilly Hiatt, who finds herself searching for answers on her striking new album, Forever. Recorded at home with her husband, Coley Hinson who produced and played most of the instruments, Forever grapples with growth and change, escape and anxiety, self-loathing and self-love. The songs are intensely vulnerable, full of diaristic snapshots and deeply personal ruminations, but they’re also broad invitations to find yourself in their unflinching emotional excavations. The result is a raw, unvarnished work of love and trust that walks the line between alt-rock muscle and singer/songwriter sensitivity, a bold, guitar-driven exploration of maturity and adulthood from an artist who wants you to know you’re not alone, no matter how lost you may feel. Born in Los Angeles and raised in Tennessee, Hiatt first earned buzz with a pair of early solo records before breaking out with 2017’s Trinity Lane, which helped earn dates with the likes of John Prine, Margo Price, Drive-By Truckers, and Hiss Golden Messenger in addition to festival slots from Pilgrimage to Luck Reunion. NPR called the album “courageous and affecting,” while Rolling Stone hailed it as “the most cohesive and declarative statement of the young songwriter’s career.” Hiatt returned in 2020 with the similarly well-received Walking Proof, and in 2021 with Lately, which The Boston Herald said showcased her “knack for plainspoken, poetic lyrics” and Uncut proclaimed “captivating.”https://www.lillyhiatt.com/

Dan Spencer
AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Dan SpencerThe late singer-songwriter Judee Sill considered her style Country Cult Baroque, and Dan Spencer finds that this is a perfect way to describe his own music. His penchant for mixing morbid lyrical content and black metal imagery with country-fried Southern rock doesn’t feel forced at all, considering his eclectic taste and background as a mortician. No, really. Born near Nashville in Smyrna in 1993, the Tennessee troubadour grew up going to see hardcore bands in the region because there were no age restrictions on those kind of shows. He eventually moved to the college town of Cookeville, TN of which he notes, “It’s got this pretty unique history of having a way better music scene than it ought to.” Despite being in the heartland of country music, his interest in the genre coalesced in an entirely circuitous way, via the California-based, punk-pedigreed experimental band Amps For Christ. “They would cover a lot of traditional Scottish folk songs that morphed into Appalachian mountain music, which morphed into country music. I had to hear it through that lens to get into it.” After having played guitar in indie rock band Holy Coast and managing vocal/guitar duties for the CCR/Allman Brothers-inspired group Pumpkinseed, Spencer began writing and recording solo material in early 2020, just in time for the pandemic to hit. His debut album Bursting With Country-Fresh Flavor (a Seinfeld reference) was unceremoniously released online two years later. Music seemed like a dead end pursuit so he enrolled in mortuary school; a career path that shaped his music. “Death is a big lyrical topic I’m always exploring,” says Dan Spencer. “I think it really kicked off when I was working at a funeral home and really surrounded by it all the time that I learned new questions to ask about death. I think there’s just a culture, in the US specifically, where people are not prepared for grief at all. It’s also shocking working in that system seeing the random and seemingly meaningless nature of death. It does something to you and definitely inspires you to create art about it, with an infinite bowl to grab from. It makes you so much more aware that whoever is running this show is not guaranteeing you a long, fulfilled life of experiences and dreams coming true.” It was much sweeter for him when his dreams did start coming true, beginning with a chance encounter with a music industry veteran at a pizza place in Nashville that Spencer was managing on the weekends. Pretty soon his music ended up in the hands of Post Malone, a fellow musician with similarly diverse taste who was already at this point a platinum-selling household name with multiple #1 albums and singles under his belt. Spencer found himself engaged in songwriting sessions with Malone and Brad Paisley after dropping out of mortuary school; it all seemed surreal. https://open.spotify.com/artist/4nZhCPagwfGtHV2tASZkpU

J. Roddy Walston
J. Roddy J. Roddy Walston is a force of nature. If his hits like Heavy Bells is are a war cry, then the deep cuts like Boys Can Never Tell are a tactical cosmic retreat. For some, his music is a form of religion, psychedelic in its intensity, transformative in its grip on the body, shaking loose something primal that’s been buried too long. It’s not about thinking. It’s about moving, feeling, surrendering. His influences are a riot of contradictions: Kurt Cobain’s fury, Nilsson’s fractured sweetness, Zeppelin’s power, and some where in there a perverted nod to William Onyeabor’s lonely calculator funk. Critics try to box him in, but Walston can’t be contained—he does chaos, and his live shows do damage, but fortunately his the songs can pay the tab. Catch him and his band before he burns it all down again.

Doors: 7:00 PM Tim BudderThere is a small town on the edge of the Allegheny Mountains, once a diamond in the mining industry. The family moved there when the old man was handed his 35-year stint in 1982. Little Tim came out 9 months after he walked into that prison. On winding drives home from the visits, Tim would stretch out in the back of the station wagon and stare up at the night sky.https://timbudder.bandcamp.com/track/two-day-stripped-down David Vassalottihttps://davidvassalotti.bandcamp.com/album/guitar-dream SCC
