Live Music: Thursday
Caleb Caudle: A North Carolina native, Caudle blends American indie, classic rock and Americana sounds in his six studio albums, which has taken him to stages such as Stagecoach, Cayamo, Luck Reunion, Mountain Stage, Merlefest, and Americanafest.
The Woods: A Nashville-based, multi-instrumentalist band formed in 2021, The Woods have swiftly risen to prominence with their captivating blend of nostalgic and progressive sounds. Now working on new music with Grammy-winning producer Blake Chancey, this harmony-rich band is solidifying their place as one of Nashville’s must-watch acts.
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, bluest 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 ānā 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.
