                                <description><![CDATA[Friday, November 13 // Doors at 7:00 PM // Show at 7:30 PM // $25 ADV // $30 DOS &#160; Robert Kimbrough Sr continues the&#160;Cotton Patch Soul Blues&#160;style created by his father, the legendary Junior Kimbrough. From an early age, Robert was steeped in the sounds and life of North Mississippi and its distinctive style of blues. Growing up, Robert listened, first-hand to Mississippi blues royalty that played with his father at home, at Junior&#8217;s Juke Joint Club, and the ever frequent weekend house party and porch jam session. The blues was simply part of everyday life as a Kimbrough. Robert continues his father&#8217;s musical tradition, along with some of his siblings. You can often find many of them sharing the stage on any given night in Mississippi. The Kimbrough name, along with the Burnside name, is part of a blues dynasty that remains strong today, bringing people from all over the world to see and hear them play. The Cotton Patch Soul Blues style that Robert plays is a straight link to the music that his father originated in North Mississippi. It is a deep soul sound that can be linked back to his ancestors coming from the cotton fields, singing and &#8216;hollering&#8216; as they worked in the tall rows of Mississippi cotton. This distinct and somewhat underground style of blues is rooted in hypnotic, rhythms and dance-able grooves. The Black Keys released an entire album in 2006 of Junior Kimbrough cover songs called Chulahoma: The Songs of Junior Kimbrough. Up until the mid 80s, the only way to hear this music was to visit a church-turned-blues-den founded by Junior Kimbrough in Chulahoma, MS that unfortunately burned down in 2000. Robert released his fourth self-produced CD,&#160;I Been Fixed which won the coveted 2019 AMG award for Album of the Year. Robert continues the Cotton Patch Soul Blues sound on this release sometimes playing all instruments. https://robertkimbroughsr.com/&#160; &#160; HoverGround is an indie/folk/blues/pop five-member project from Missoula, Montana. Starting with a chance encounter at the Zootown Arts and Community Center&#8217;s fabled Adult Rock Camps, the band began practicing in lead guitarist Robbie G&#8217;s basement, learning lead vocalist Ann S-P&#8217;s strange, heartfelt, political, and sometimes insight-producing songs. Drummer Graham C leads the rhythm with wild yet concentrated abandon; Lindsay M&#8217;s bass riffs add structure; and keyboardist Beverly D&#8217;s ivory tinkling and vocal harmonies round out the sound with molecular grace. We have at least one song everyone will like, and we are just beginning&#8230; &#160;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Tuesday, November 10 // Doors at 7:00 PM // Show at 8:00 PM // $25 ADV // $30 DOS &#160; &#160; Cat Clyde's fourth full-length and first release with Concord Records finds her at a transformative point in her life. Produced by Drew Vandenberg (Faye Webster, S. G. Goodman),&#160;Mud Blood Bone&#160;meets at a sonic crossroads &#8212; the rockabilly grit of Sierra Ferrell melding with the evocative folk rock volatility of Big Thief &#8212; as Clyde charts a long journey to reshape the meaning of love in her life. It&#8217;s a trudge through the swamp and into vast, cleansing waters that finds Clyde at a critical point of personal evolution&#8212;equal parts despair, invocation, discovery, and celebration. &#160; Ahead of and throughout her writing sessions for&#160;Mud Blood Bone, Clyde looked to her indigenous M&#233;tis roots and invoked a deep reverence for nature in efforts to redefine her relationship with love in her life. Learning from the natural world, she took solace in its cyclicality. &#160; The new songs exude nomadic independence: penned in her 1973 Boler trailer on a farm in Ontario, on a narrow boat in England, or in transit from one festival to another, letting lyrics stream freely from a jetlagged dream state. The result is uninhibited, raw, pure; it&#8217;s the sound of personal truth discovered in real time. &#160; &#160; &#160; With I Hope We Can Still Be Friends, his debut for Saddle Creek, Dean Johnson makes a pact with the listener: He will sing you his truth in the most heartfelt and charming way possible, if you promise to keep an open mind. &#160; The title partly stems from the playful way the Seattle-based singer, songwriter and guitarist communes with his audiences at concerts. &#8220;I hope you&#8217;re not afraid to talk to me after the show,&#8221; he&#8217;ll say, sweetly, before launching into &#8220;Death of the Party,&#8221; the album&#8217;s seventh song. Centered on the &#8220;energy vampire&#8221; archetype &#8212; the exasperating windbag we&#8217;ve all encountered at some point &#8212; its lyrics are at once intellectually biting and unmistakably hilarious. His tender voice rings out like the ghost of Roy Orbison or a misfit Everly brother. &#160; &#8220;Words don&#8217;t come easily to me / I notice you don&#8217;t have that problem / It sounds to me you cannot stop them,&#8221; Johnson sings over acoustic guitar strumming, and gentle bass and drums, like the narrator in a dark comedy whose coming-of-age misadventures have made for an excellent film. &#160; Johnson spent years tending bar at Al&#8217;s Tavern in Seattle&#8217;s Wallingford neighborhood. There, he encountered folks of all stripes; and regulars enthusiastically murmured about his budding musical greatness &#8212; There&#8217;s the best songwriter in town! Johnson was a kind of local lore, a long-held family secret, before the singer finally broke out in 2023 with his debut album, Nothing For Me Please, at age 50.]]></description>
