THAO (full band): “Show Me” Tour
ALL AGESSTANDING ROOM ONLY THAO THAO (formerly of Thao and The Get Down Stay Down), the critically acclaimed, well-loved and well-missed songwriter/ musician/ producer/performer is back with Show Me, her first album in six years, and her first release as THAO. This album reunites her with her dear label alma mater, the iconic Kill Rock Stars. Ever the multi-phyphenate, THAO has been hard at work in many mediums: Broadway musical development, filmmaking, writing her first book for Graywolf Press. All these forays have only sharpened her ability to emotionally capture and communicate as she returns to her first love as a recording and touring artist. She creates a live, kinetic communion unlike any other, and new and longtime fans are more than ready. Show Me (very appropriately titled) is a deeply personal and evocative 11-song suite, a document of an ongoing journey to embodiment and vulnerability, and ultimately to love. It is a reminder and a prayer to stay open to life and connection; it can also be pretty sexy. Rooted in rich collaboration with close friends Nate Brenner (co-writing, co-production) and Merrill Garbus (co-production) of Tune-Yards, it features artists Neko Case, the Linda Lindas, and Adrian Quesada (Black Pumas, Grupo Fantastma). Show Me is flush with captivating groove and rhythm and lush with THAO’s signature, singular melodic hooks and heart- grabbing lyrics. Show Me by THAO releases Sept 15th, 2026, and she and her full band will tour far and wide for a long time.

William is cofounder of Nothingless, a Nashville based artist collective, as well as the songwriting/storytelling showcase called The Couch. “At its core, Make/Believe is built on a simple idea I had years ago: that people are like plants, & in the same way that plants need sunlight and water, we need two things in order to grow. to make, & to believe.”

Patio show: Reed Turchi Album Release
– ALL AGES- LIMITED PATIO SEATING IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVEREED TUCHIRoad Ends in Water Album Release Show Reed Turchi is a Grammy Winning musician, poet, and producer from Swannanoa, North Carolina, now living in Brooklyn. Hailed as “Beyond genre constraints” by The Oxford American, and described as “a blast of blues rock…both crafted and improvised” by Rolling Stone, Turchi has performed his slide guitar & kudzu boogie sound across the US and Europe since 2010. Featured by NPR, PBS, Rolling Stone, American Songwriter, No Depression, KEXP, Living Blues, The Oxford American, Daytrotter, and many more, Turchi has established himself as one of the most varied and prolific artists and producers operating in the roots-music world today. Recorded in a basement in 2010, Road Ends in Water was the first album by Reed Turchi, and showcases his signature slide-guitar and kudzu-boogie in its rawest, most North Mississippi-inspired form. With special guest Luther Dickinson of North Mississippi Allstars playing through a blown-up tape-machine on three songs, the album ranges from uptempo rollicking blues-rock to heavy, fuzzed-out riffs. The inspiration of no-holds-barred dueling-slide-guitar, one-chord romp is clear, as Road Ends in Water offers up a series of originals and adaptations that all end up in a swamp of romp-and-groove. Originally released in 2012 in a pre-streaming world, the album has been lost for over a decade, and has been totally re-mixed and re-mastered for this new release, which showcases a basement boogie in its early glory.
