Live Music: Friday

Sam Morrow: Five albums into an acclaimed career, Morrow has carved out a sound in his own version of American roots music: a mix of roadhouse rock & roll, bluesy R&B, and country-fried funky-tonk. Championed by outlets like NPR and Rolling Stone, Morrow’s albums turned him into one of the West Coast’s biggest Americana exports.

Jeremie Albino: Albino’s music is grounded in the gritty storytelling of classic country music, propelled by the rhythms of old-school R&B, played with the wild abandon of early rock ’n’ roll, and sung with the deep feeling of southern soul. Thanks to his livewire concerts, he has been steadily growing his audience from a few passersby to packed houses around Canada and the U.S.
