Lee Ann Womack | October 17

|
|
Anybody who has paid attention to Lee Ann Womack for the past decade or so could see her new work was headed in a different direction.
THE LONELY, THE LONESOME & THE GONE is a breathtaking hybrid of country, soul, gospel and blues — comes from Womack’s core. “I could never shake my center of who I was,” says the East Texas native. “I’m drawn to rootsy music. It’s what moves me.”
And, we hopped on the phone with Lee Ann last night to talk about what she's been up to, her latest album, and her show on Thursday! Have a listen!

The Bros. Landreth | October 22
|
|
|
Before they were The Bros. Landreth, Joey and Dave were only looking for a good excuse to spend a little more time together.
They had spent their respective early years backing up other artists and touring the world as hired musicians until one particularly long and challenging tour prompted Joey to call his older brother with a simple proposal, “When I get home, let’s sit down and make some music together” That phone call would be the turning point – seeing them focus on their own roots rock sound that went on to be celebrated on their acclaimed debut album, Let It Lie.
The Bros. Landreth’s journey took some unexpected turns, but ultimately reaffirmed two brother’s earnest desire to make honest music together. Slated for release fall of 2019, the follow-up album is called ’87, a nod to their starting point, the year they became brothers.

The Manhattan Transfer
November 7
|
|
|
Riding a wave of nostalgia in the '70s, the Manhattan Transfer resurrected jazz trends from boogie-woogie to bop to vocalese in a slick setting. Originally formed in 1969, the quartet recorded several albums of jazz standards as well as much material closer to R&B/pop. Still, they were easily the most popular jazz
vocal group of their era, and the most talented of any since the heyday of Lambert, Hendricks & Ross during the early '60s.

John 5 & The Creatures
November 21
|
|
|
How does one define John 5? Is he rock? Is it country? Is he heavy metal? What about emo, industrial or bluegrass? Truth is there is no one set genre to fit John 5.
In a world where music must be defined, John 5 breaks every mold by continually changing and adapting his style. Although he is unmistakably John 5 in his sound, he mixes around with the foundation with every new track he writes, every album he guests on and every time he picks up the guitar.
