Mason Jennings w/ Slow Runner (solo)

ALL AGES SEATED SHOW LIMITED NUMBER OF PREMIUM SEATING TICKETS AVAILABLE   MASON JENNINGS Minneapolis songwriter Mason Jennings shares his new video for the single, “Only Lovers Welcome” from his brand new album, Underneath The Roses out now via Loosegroove Records. Underneath The Roses is available on limited-edition colored vinyl and is available here.  Watch and share the video for “Only Lovers Welcome” here.   Jennings writes that the songs from Underneath The Roses were, “Written in an unprecedented burst,” following the birth of his son, Western, in March 2022. Jennings explains, “I hadn’t written any songs in about a year. I had been dealing with the psychological after effects of the pandemic as well as the loss of my dad. So, when Western was born I didn’t expect to be writing much. But immediately he was responding to music in a very intense way. For this album, between May and November 2022, I wrote 48 songs! They certainly uplifted me and connected me with the creative spirit, and spirit in general, again. They cover all kinds of ground but, when I listen back, I think the central theme is overcoming fear with love.” Jennings and Stone Gossard are ongoing collaborators in the band Painted Shield, who released their 2021 debut album on Loosegroove, the influential indie label that Gossard founded back in 1994 issued records from acts such as Critters Buggin, Malfunkshun, Weapon of Choice and Devilhead, and was the launching point for Queens of the Stone Age’s debut album in 1998.  SLOW RUNNER (solo) Slow Runner is the creative vessel for Michael Flynn, an Americana-adjacent singer/songwriter based in western North Carolina. His songs have been featured on shows like Grey’s Anatomy and Shameless, and on commercials for useful products like cars and shampoo. He’s also won a few awards for songwriting, most recently the 2021 Newsong Music Grand Prize. After a few years performing under his own name, Michael signed a record deal with SonyBMG in 2006 and began releasing music as Slow Runner in a long-running collaboration with producer/multi-instrumentalist Josh Kaler and other musical friends. Slow Runner has spawned 6 full length albums among other EPs and singles, and has toured internationally with acts like The Avett Brothers, Josh Ritter, and many others. His music explores disparate genres from dreamy synth-pop to confessional folk, always anchored by compelling lyrics and an authentic emotional core. 

John Cowan Trio featuring Luke Bulla and Ethan Ballinger

ALL AGES SEATED SHOW LIMITED NUMBER OF PREMIUM SEATING TICKETS AVAILABLE   JOHN COWAN AND LUKE BULLA  When John Cowan and Luke Bulla perform together, their shows reflect 25 years of shared history, musical trust, and genuine friendship. Blending New Grass Revival (and more) favorites with old and new originals, they pair masterful picking, rich harmony, and stories that are heartfelt, funny, and hard-earned. Cowan calls Bulla “one of the most beautiful gifts” of his long musical life, while Bulla, inspired by Cowan since his youth, considers sharing the stage a “dream come true” and a source of “immense gratitude and honor”. Together, they deliver music rooted in gratitude, joy, and deep mutual respect.   “I, unbelievably, have entered my 72nd year as a human and 58th as a professional musician. There is much to say, songs to sing that brought me here, and much musical merriment to look forward to. Unlike the proverbial rolling stone I have gathered many musical partnerships (moss?) that continue to inspire me. Luke Bulla is surely one of these. The level of his musicianship is only exceeded by the size of his heart and humility. I consider him to be one of the most beautiful gifts I’ve been given in my lifetime.” – John Cowan   “A large portion of my core formative musical inspirations involve the music of John Cowan. I listened to New Grass Revival on a daily basis for years and would sing harmony and play fiddle with those records never imagining how blessed I would be to get to play and sing with John quite a lot over these last 25 years. My first gig in Nashville was touring, recording, and playing the Grand Ol’ Opry with Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder. I was 19. I was overjoyed to be hired by The John Cowan Band in 2001 and we proceeded to have a good handful of years playing the most fun, creative, wild, beautiful music I could imagine. I have since gone on to record several of my own projects that John is featured on and I’m so proud of the fact that John has recorded several of my original songs over the years. Playing and singing with John is a dream come true and I am immensely grateful and honored to share the stage with him and to bring our music to you all.” – Luke Bulla

Anna Tivel w/ Alexa Rose

ALL AGES SEATED SHOW LIMITED NUMBER OF PREMIUM SEATING TICKETS AVAILABLE   ANNA TIVEL Anna Tivel is a Portland, Oregon-based, internationally touring songwriter who is forever drawn to the quiet stories of ordinary life. The characters and imagery that populate her writing are full of breath and vivid color. With six full-length albums out and a seventh on the way, Anna has been likened to a short story writer and praised by NPR, Rolling Stone, Billboard, and others for her keen observations of the human condition. In fact, Ann Powers of NPR Music had this to say, “Anna Tivel is just one of my absolute favorite living songwriters. Her writing on [Outsiders] is at the same level as Paul Simon when he wrote ‘The Boxer’ and ‘American Tune.'”   ALEXA ROSE “An enchanting new Appalachian voice wraps her rambling mind around a dream; it sounds like the soul child of Bob Dylan and Dolly Parton.” – NPR Music Alexa Rose was born in the Alleghany Highlands of western Virginia, raised in the tiny railroad town of Clifton Forge. Though no one in her immediate family played or sang, she inherited a deep musical legacy.  “Growing up I would hear stories of my great-grandfather Alvie who, for a time, lived and played with [bluegrass great] Lester Flatt when they were both young men,” says Rose. “Apparently, Lester tried to get him to move to Nashville and pursue a career. But my great-grandfather decided to stay in the mountains with his wife on their farm.”  That sense of place and storytelling spirit became woven into Rose’s voice and songwriting. In 2019, she released her debut album Medicine For Living, the title track of which won Merlefest’s revered Chris Austin Songwriting Contest. Her 2021 follow up Headwaters garnered national attention from American Songwriter and Rolling Stone, among others. Rose wrote most of the album in the early stages of the pandemic, which she astutely characterizes as having “that weird lucid feeling of not-time.” “Headwaters are the source of a river. The furthest point from where water merges with something else. They are not mighty. Just a network of small tributaries, like a creek, not necessarily picturesque, but they’re the most important part of the river. Water is fluid and inconsistent and sacred and indifferent. You can be miles down a river, but you’re still at the origin. And in that way, water feels like it has transcended time. That’s how these songs found me—the same way memories do, in that slivering, elusive water. As quickly as you come across them, you bend in another direction.” Perhaps following in the steps of her great grandfather, Rose’s songs feel like oil paint landscapes of her own life in the mountains, often wringing out the beauty in mundanity and exploring timeless topics. Her earnest, well crafted stylings are a multi-layered merger of old country music and traditional folk songs, colored by rock and roll and mountain soul.

Glen Phillips (of Toad the Wet Sprocket)

ALL AGES SEATED SHOW LIMITED NUMBER OF PREMIUM SEATING TICKETS   GLEN PHILLIPS During his almost 40 years as lead singer and main songwriter of Toad the Wet Sprocket, Glen Phillips has helped create the band’s elegant folk/pop sound with honest, introspective lyrics that forged a close bond with fans. Alongside his work with Toad, Glen has released acclaimed solo albums and collaborated on projects ranging from Mutual Admiration Society (with members of Nickel Creek) to the experimental Remote Tree Children. “I’ve been playing a songwriting game with Texas folk singer Matt The Electrician for about ten years,” Glen says. “Every Friday, he sends out a title. We have a week to write a song that includes it. The process allows me to write songs I wouldn’t write on my own. I’m always surprised at what comes out.” That sense of curiosity and play continues to fuel his creative life. Coming off a very full year of music, Glen played to packed solo shows across the US, toured the Rockies with John Craigie, and hit the road with Toad the Wet Sprocket for a massive summer tour that featured openers The Jayhawks, Sixpence None the Richer, KT Tunstall, and Vertical Horizon. This fall he heads overseas to tour the UK with Colin Hay, and in October he hosts his first-ever European river cruise on the Danube, traveling from Budapest to Nuremberg. Glen has also launched a new partnership with Volume, where he’ll be live streaming at least once a month. These shows give him the chance to connect with fans when he and Toad are off the road, offering a space for community, new songs, deep cuts, and the stories behind the music. “I have a long history of livestreaming, and am excited to start a new chapter with Volume. Their format allows me not just to do livestreams, but also post new material and host online get-togethers.” Looking ahead, Glen plans to begin work on a new solo album in 2026. “I’ll be spending this year writing new material for both Toad and solo projects. There’s also an acoustic Toad album coming out, as well as a side project solo collection of songs. Between that and touring, I’ll be plenty busy.” MENDELEYEV Mendeleyev is a baritone Singer/Songwriter/ Producer based in NYC. Set to be Ben Harper’s opening act for his fall tour. Appearing on Season 17 of NBC’s The Voice on John Legend’s Team, his low booming voice got all 4 coaches to turn their chairs. Recently opening for/collaborating with Jackson Browne and Madison Cunningham, he also headlined the 4th of July at The Rose Bowl Stadium, singing for 30,000 people. Highly influenced by a variety of legends with a vocal combination of Johnny cash and Van Morrison, moving lyrical content of Bob Dylan, and the fingerpicking style of John Mayer, he has a fresh and folky yet funky take on music. Fun and full of energy, Mendeleyev is always taking the next step…

An Evening With Willis Alan Ramsey

ALL AGES SEATED SHOW LIMITED NUMBER OF PREMIUM SEATING TICKETS AVAILABLE   WILLIS ALAN RAMSEY Over 50 years after the release of his wildly influential self-titled album on Leon Russell’s Shelter Records, Willis Alan Ramsey returns to touring.   Ramsey’s debut in 1972 earned scores of accolades from arti-sts ranging from The Allman Brothers to Lyle Lovett. The album was mined by many artists for their o_wn recordings including Jimmy Buffett’s “The Ballad of Spider John”, Jimmie Dale Gilmore’s “Goodbye Old Missoula”, Shawn Colvin’s “Satin Sheets”, Captain & Tennille’s “Muskrat Candlelight/Love”, Jerry Jeff Walker’s “Northeast Texas Women”, Waylon Jennings’ “Satin Sheets”, New Grass Revival’s “Watermelon Man”, and many more.   Since that landmark first release, Ramsey has toured only occasionally, spending time instead with his family, honing his craft in Austin, Nashville and London, educating himself in the science of audio recording and composing new songs. His new material has received critical acclaim, including Lyle Lovett’s recordings of “Sleepwalkin”‘, “North Dakota” and “That’s Right (You’re Not From Texas”), as well as Eric Clapton’s recording of”Positively”.   Ramsey’s infrequent personal appearances always gamer excitement among some of the top critics in the country as well as from his fellow artists:   “His cozy, orderly, tiny-detail songs express a willful turnabout from hippie chaos, a visceral reaction particular to the early 1970’s. His songs are sweet, emotionally guarded and often musically complex, fitting strains of melody together that seem as if they ought not connect, expertly using rhythmic displacement as the words and chords unspool …. Perfection is terrifying, and some of these songs felt spooky.” – Ben Ratliff, The New York Times    “You might have not seen him lately, but if you’ve listened to Shawn, Lyle or Jimmie Dale, you’ve heard him.” – John T. Davis, The Austin American Statesman   “Even if Ramsey had made a dozen more albums, this would still be the record that no home should be without.” – No Depression   “When I got his record, I loved everything on it. I heard some Flannery O’Connor and William Faulkner in there. It was a little more literary than most of the Texas stuff.” -Jimmy Buffett   “Everybody owned his record when I lived in Austin. That’s because it’s great and them Texans knew it. I think Lyle’s great, but tell me he didn’t learn something from Willis.” – Shawn Colvin   “I learned every song off his record. I went to see him every time he played, got tennis shoes like his. I wanted to be Willis Alan Ramsey.” -Lyle Lovett
