Jed Harrelson

Tomorrow July 10, 20268:00pm $20.00

Nashville based soul artist Jed Harrelson has found a way to fuse sounds of Soul, Rock and R&B. Music connects and he carries that into the center of his work, leaving both a euphoric and familiar presence. While he's independently released 15 songs in the last three years, he is working on a debut project right now. All of his music is recorded in house with his brother Hank as the audio engineer.

Being from Texarkana, Arkansas instilled a drive to hone in on his craft though the lack of music scene caused him to move where he could really express his artistic message which took him to Fayetteville, Arkansas. This is where he cut his teeth in the Northwest Arkansas music scene. Now living in Nashville since January 2020, Jed is independently touring the country with his band in a gold van called 'The Loaf".

By achieving and producing what feels good in his art, Jed just might help listeners do the same.

Drivin N Cryin, Laid Back Country Picker

Tuesday July 14, 20268:00pm $25.00

Drivin N Cryin is an enduring American rock band whose roots-forward sound and uncompromising spirit have made them a vital force since forming in Atlanta, Georgia in 1985. Blending Southern rock grit, folk storytelling, and hard-charging rock & roll, the band built a reputation early on as a must-see live act and a songwriter's band with depth far beyond trends.

Led by singer-songwriter Kevn Kinney and anchored by bassist Tim Nielsen and drummer Dave Johnson, Drivin N Cryin broke through nationally with a run of influential albums that helped define late-'80s and early-'90s American rock. Songs like "Fly Me Courageous," "Honeysuckle Blue," "Straight to Hell," "Build a Fire," and "Scarred But Smarter" became staples of rock and AAA radio, with Fly Me Courageous earning Gold certification and remaining a cornerstone of the band's catalog.

While they emerged during the MTV era, Drivin N Cryin never disappeared. Over four decades, they've remained a consistently touring, recording band -- releasing new music, evolving their sound, and cultivating a loyal, multigenerational audience. Their influence extends well beyond their own recordings; "Straight to Hell" found new life through covers and collaborations that introduced the song to entirely new audiences.

The band's stature is reflected in both peer respect and formal recognition, including induction into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame, as well as Kinney's induction into the Milwaukee Music Hall of Fame. Touring history includes shared stages with artists spanning multiple eras and genres, The Who, Hootie & The Blowfish, The Black Crowes, ZZ Top, Soul Asylum, Blackberry Smoke, The Marshall Tucker Band, Jason Isbell, along with recent appearances on destination events like Rock Boat, Outlaw Country Cruise, and Moon Crush.

Their latest album, Crushing Flowers, marks a deliberate return to the band's core. Stripped back to the original three-piece, the record favors clarity, chemistry, and feel over excess -- a confident, back-to-basics statement from a band that knows exactly who it is. Rather than chasing nostalgia or novelty, Crushing Flowers reinforces what has always set Drivin N Cryin apart: honest songs, emotional weight, and the unmistakable sound of a band still fully engaged in the work.

Nearly forty years in, Drivin N Cryin remains a living, breathing American rock band -- not a revival act, not a footnote, but a continuing story still being written.

The Black Moods

Friday August 21, 20268:00pm $20.00

The Black Moods play raw, amplified rock & roll.

Born in the Arizona desert and reared on stages across North America, the band delivers a modern update of a timeless sound, breathing fresh life into a familiar mix of electric guitars, anthemic hooks, and percussive stomp. The Black Moods' three members -- frontman/guitarist Josh Kennedy, drummer Chico Diaz and bassist Jordan Hoffman -- aren't looking to reinvent the wheel. Instead, they're piling into a vehicle that's existed for decades, souping up the engine to suit their contemporary needs, and steering those wheels toward their own rock & roll horizon.

The band formed in Tempe, Arizona. Inspired by local heroes like the Gin Blossoms and Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers -- both of whom have become champions of the Black Moods, often tapping the group as a high-profile opening act -- The Black Moods began building their audience the old-school way: by hitting the road. They toured heavily, promoting albums like their 2012 self-titled debut and 2016's Medicine with gigs across the country. By the time "Bella Donna" hit the radio airwaves during the summer of 2018, The Black Moods' fanbase had grown exponentially. The song became a Top 40 hit on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart, paving the way for the band's biggest shows to date.

Modern-day torchbearers of ageless rock & roll, The Black Moods aren't shy about nodding to their influences. "Bella Donna" was partially inspired by the Doors' slinky strut, while the climatic chorus of "Bad News" points to alt-rock mainstays like the Foo Fighters. With one boot planted in the same ground as their influences and the other pointed toward unexplored territory, The Black Moods blaze their own path while still paying tribute to those who came before them.

Both "Bella Donna" and "Bad News" were recorded with Grammy Award-nominated producer Johnny "K" Karkazis, who flew to Phoenix and set up a makeshift studio in the band's own rehearsal space. There, in the same practice facility once shared by hometown heroes like the Refreshments, the band funneled the spirit and swagger of their live show into their most dynamic recordings to date. That live show -- which The Black Moods sharpened with cross-country tours alongside the Doors' Robbie Krieger, Shinedown, Jane's Addiction, Eve 6, Cracker, and numerous other headliners -- has always been one of the band's strongest selling points. Now, thanks to singles like "Bella Donna" (which also lends its name to the first wine in The Black Moods' wine series), The Black Moods' fury and fire onstage is matched by their electricity on record.

The band's name is The Black Moods. And these days, those black moods are looking pretty bright.

Belles

Sunday August 23, 20268:00pm $20.00

In a world of imitators and social media facades, BELLES (Kelli Belles) stands out as an artist unapologetically true to herself. Hailing from Omaha and now based in Nashville, BELLES brings a Midwest grit and authenticity to everything she does, balancing small-town roots with big-stage ambition. Her voice is as striking as her presence--effortlessly blending a dreamy, modern edge with the timeless soul of country music's golden era.

2026 is shaping up to be a landmark year, highlighted by her remarkable self-penned song "Son of Jolene," featuring global music icon Dolly Parton."The country music legend, 80, tells PEOPLE, 'When I heard 'Son of Jolene,' I thought it was very clever. No one had ever thought of it that way.'" Releasing on April 17, rising star BELLES steps into country music tradition with a bold, imaginative follow-up to one of the genre's most iconic songs. Reflecting on the moment she learned that Parton wanted to join her for the final recording, the 26-year-old said, "I could die happy now." -- The Sun

Like Dolly, BELLES is a songwriter first, with over 100M+ cumulative streams across her catalog. Her song "Crazy As Me" peaked at #3 on the iTunes Country Charts in 2025, momentum that carried her across the country on her headlining Crazy As Me Tour, selling out several venues. Her 1.5M followers on social media are drawn to her electric live performances and vivid storytelling--sometimes humorous, sometimes deeply emotional. Inspired by legends such as Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton, BELLES reimagines classic country for today. Her songs feel pulled straight from real life, creating a connection with everyone in the room.

The Rocky Mountain CMA Female Vocalist is embarking on a 24-city national headlining run this summer, the Songs & Stories Tour. Venues include Stoney's, The Bitter End, Last Exit Live, Gruene Hall, Eddie's Attic, and Tractor Tavern.

BELLES is booked by WME, managed by Red Light Management, signed to East Music Row Records and Deluge Music Publishing. She is currently recording her debut album while building momentum toward what is shaping up to be a breakout year.

Wayne Hancock

Thursday October 8, 20268:00pm $20.00

Since his stunning debut, Thunderstorms and Neon Signs in 1995, Wayne 'The Train' Hancock has been the undisputed king of Juke Joint Swing--that alchemist's dream of honky-tonk, western swing, blues, Texas rockabilly and big band. You won't even notice that he doesn't have a drummer. And when Wayne steps on stage, he owns it.

Wayne makes music fit for any road house anywhere. With his unmistakable voice, The Train's reckless honky-tonk can move the dead. If you see him live (and he is ALWAYS touring), you'll surely work up some sweat stains on that snazzy Rayon shirt you're wearing. If you buy his records, you'll be rolling up your carpets, spreading sawdust on the hardwood, and dancing until the downstairs neighbors are banging their brooms on the ceiling. Call him a throwback if you want, Wayne just wants to ENTERTAIN you, and what's wrong with that?

Wayne's disdain for the slick swill that passes for real deal country is well known. Like he's fond of saying: "Man, I'm like a stab wound in the fabric of country music in Nashville. See that bloodstain slowly spreading? That's me."

Windborne

Wednesday October 21, 20268:00pm $25.00

Windborne's captivating show draws on the singers' deep roots in traditions of vocal harmony, while the absolute uniqueness of their artistic approach brings old songs into the present. Known for the innovation of their arrangements, their harmonies are bold and anything but predictable. Instead of simply dazzling the audience with vocal fireworks; Windborne evokes a deep emotional response connecting their audience to the past, distant places and themselves, it's no wonder they have been crowd favorites since starting to tour in 2018. Windborne is particularly known for its viral videos which have gained the group nearly 500,000 followers singing at Mont Saint Michel in France, and Cathedrals around the world!

With a 20-year background studying polyphonic music around the world, Lauren Breunig, Jeremy Carter-Gordon, Lynn Rowan, and Will Rowan share a vibrant energy onstage with a blending of voices that can only come from decades of friendship alongside dedicated practice. The ensemble shifts effortlessly between drastically different styles of music, drawing their audience along on a journey that spans continents and centuries, illuminating and expanding on the profound power and variation of the human voice. The singers educate as they entertain, sharing stories about their songs and explaining the context and characteristics of the styles in which they sing. BBC Traveling Folk describes Windborne as "subverting expectations and redefining the genre [of vocal music]... just absolutely phenomenal!"

Audiences and critics lavish praise upon the singers not only for their technical mastery, but for the passion, engagement, and connection with each other and the audience that imbues each performance with a rare power. But there's another, crucial dimension to Windborne that guides and roots their artistry. They are adherents to folk music's longtime alliance with social activism, labor and civil rights, and other movements that champion the oppressed, the poor, and the disenfranchised. Windborne's dynamic harmonies breathe new life into old songs, creating an experience that is rooted by its history, but strikingly relevant to the contemporary listener.

Windborne's 4th album, Of Hard Times & Harmony, explores themes of social consciousness, singing in four languages and showcasing the depth of emotion their voices can evoke, as well as the moments of hilarity and wit that audiences will recognize from live performances. The group is committed to bringing vocal traditions to a younger audience and over the past year has found surprisingly viral success on tiktok and instagram with such unlikely genres as Corsican polyphony or early 20th century labor anthems, with younger audiences turning out in strength.

Windborne just released their album To Warm the Winter Hearth in fall 2024, which became the 5th biggest crowdfunded album ever across all platforms and genres, and led to sold out Midwinter shows throughout the US and UK. not only is it a good indication of their popularity, but also of their digital marketing prowess.
