1Webb Dalton Saturday, June 1, 2013 Describing Webb Dalton and his style of music is like describing the different seasons. He was born and raised in Montgomery, Alabama on the sounds of Hank Williams, Sr., Merle Haggard, Buck Owens and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Webb and his family would spend their summers in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, Alabama where live music and songwriting was as plentiful as the rays of sunlight at the beach. After moving to Memphis, Tennessee, he grew up on the diverse sounds of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Sun Studio sounds, B. B. King, and the Blues of World Famous Beale Street. So to describe Webb's style of music is to say it's Rockabilly, Honky Tonkin', RocknRoll with some Trop Rock mixed in for good measure. Webb is a seasoned performer with a family oriented show that involves the audience with sing a longs and will probably having you up and dancing before you know it. Webb has worked with some of the music industries premier artists, including George Strait, Garth Brooks, George Jones, Randy Travis, The Romantics, Gin Blossoms, Charlie Rich, Keith Whitley, and performed for former President George W. Bush. Webb has also been featured on CMT and GAC. Webb’s latest CD, “Mine’s Bigger” reveals his diverse style of music and songwriting. Songwriting has always been one of Webb’s loves, writing songs of the heart, songs that people can relate to and ideas that come from day to day life. “Mine’s Bigger” is an example of Webb’s unique writing style. “The idea came from a conversation between my son and I. My son is 6’3, 260 lbs., and has never been hesitant showing affection with hugs or telling me he loves me, no matter who's around. My son had called me and told me he was going to a friend’s house after school. I told him to be careful. He said he would and that he loved me. I told him I loved him more. He told me, mine’s bigger and I told him my love’s bigger. I knew after I said it, I had to write it.” When not in the studio or writing, you can find Webb performing along the Gulf Coast in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, Alabama, or in Perdido Key, Pensacola and the Florida Keys. And while in Memphis, you can catch Webb performing on World Famous Beale Street. Webb is also a 23 year veteran Detective/Sergeant with the Bartlett Police Department in Bartlett, TN assigned to Investigations. So be looking for Webb's new CD, “Mine’s Bigger”, on most major digital distribution sites, including iTunes, Amazon, and cdBaby.

While attending high school and Community college sports were important, but music was in his blood. Brent soon strapped on an electric guitar and was fronting a rock-n-roll band. Life soon changed when he volunteered for service in Vietnam. Several months after entering combat, Brent was wounded and received the Purple Heart. After a three year recuperation in and out of military hospitals, he returned to his love of music and hit the road performing all over the United States. Later on he felt compelled to take a year off from music and hit the college lecture circuit. Offering honest, insightful, and a humorous look at life as a combat soldier, Brent was able to help others troubled with the effect of the war on their day to day lives. Brent Burns is no stranger to notoriety. In response to the oil shortages of the 1980s, Burns wrote the hit song, “Cheaper Crude or No More Food,” which sold 200,000 copies the first day it was released. Paul Harvey played the song three times; the first and only song ever played in the program’s 35-year history. Burns’ fame has continued with guest appearances on all three major networks, interviews on the BBC, and featured articles in the New York Times, Chicago Tribune andBillboard Magazine. Brent also has the distinction of being the first entertainer to sing for American troops overseas since the tragedy of September 11th, 2001. Besides his busy performance schedule, he continues to perform at benefits around the world, including for the National Underwater Marine Agency (NUMA) of Australia, the Phoenix Suns Night Hoops Program, American Cancer Society, and Habitat for Humanity, where Brent is building a house with proceeds from his latest CD, “Margarita Smile.” 6:00 pm | 4Tony Brook Tuesday, June 4, 2013 Tony Brook has been a staple of the music scene and the Frank Brown International Songwriters Festival for the last decade.

Whether you know it or not, you’ve already heard of them and are already familiar and comfortable with their work. Individually they have written, played, sung, and toured their way from Nashville to New Orleans, from Georgia to Hollywood, with the likes of Jimmy Buffett, Emmylou Harris, Neil Young, Kate Campbell, Dwight Yoakam, Steve Winwood, and Kung Fu Mama just to name a few. Their new self titled album which will be released July 2013, was produced, engineered, and mixed by Grammy Award winner Trina Shoemaker (Sheryl Crow, Dixie Chicks, Emmylou Harris).
Early alchemists searched for the aqua vitae - the Water of Life - a pure, natural panacea that would cure one’s ills, ease one’s troubles, possibly even turn base materials into precious metals. Everyone familiar with the Gulf Coast knows that when rivers converge, waters of life do indeed spring forth. The ebb and flow of Mobile Bay’s tides and waves, the mingling of fresh and salt water, the juxtaposition between current and sediment create in-between-spaces that cause its estuaries to be among the most productive natural habitats in the world.
And one of the finest musical evolutions birthed from this habitat is Willie Sugarcapps. Not unlike the convergence of the Mobile River, the Tensaw, the Dog and Deer Rivers, Foul River and Fish River, musicians Kimbrough, Crawford, Capps, Hughes, and Lee began to mingle their collective musical experiences together at the in-between-spaces provided by Cathe Steele's Blue Moon Farm and have created something magically original.
Such a diverse and collective experience produces a musical gumbo that is sure to please your auditory pallet. Band members often take turns singing lead and share their gifted versatility as they switch up between fiddle, banjo, mandolin, lap steel, bass, and even ukulele. While you never know what you’re going to get when listening to Willie Sugarcapps, you will always leave satisfied, knowing that your ears, your heart, and your soul have been nurtured. What ails you will be soothed, your troubles will slip away for a moment, and you will definitely have listened to something precious.
Willie Sugarcapps can be heard live at various venues across the southeast. Visit their website for tour dates, photos, and current news. www.williesugarcapps.com. 4:00 pm Uncle Lucius Saturday, June 8, 2013 Austin-based indie rock band Uncle Lucius is set to release its new studio album, "And You Are Me," on August 28, 2012. Recorded in Austin and Nashville, "And You Are Me" finds Uncle Lucius stretching their musicianship and reeling in eleven songs that punch with a fullness reminiscent of The Doors to early Black Crowes to the current new blues sound of The Black Keys. Uncle Lucius takes rock and roll from its deep roots, pushes it onward by putting their own honest interpretation of new rock sounds with elements of r&b and blues added. The band includes Kevin Galloway on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Hal Vorpahl on bass, Mike Carpenter on lead guitar and vocals, Josh Greco on drums and percussion and Jon Grossman on lead vocals, and keys. The first single and video for "Pocket Full of Misery" will be serviced to radio and video outlets shortly. The new album comes on the heels of a three-year run of tour dates that took Uncle Lucius across the continent strapped with 2009's "Pick Your Head Up," a self-released album hailed for bringing rock and roll back to its heyday sound. Packed into their van the band toured everywhere from the corners of both coasts and throughout the Midwest from their Austin TX home pushing their rock and soul shows into late nights throughout the country. Songs from this 2009 album were featured on TV shows such as Castle and Friday Night Lights. The band continues to tour leading up to the release of And You Are Me, and they pride their live show as a sacred and energetic experience, with a belief that this is still the truest form of communication with their fans. 6:00 pm Papa Grows Funk - Headliner Saturday, June 8, 2013 "One of THE best and most important funky bands in New Orleans. We couldn't be prouder." Quint Davis, producer of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival Booty shaking party music best sums up the inimitable Papa Grows Funk, one of the most successful funk bands to emanate from New Orleans. Rooted in improvisation, the group of all-star musicians led by Hammond B3 keyboardist and lead vocalist, John Gros, has built its enthusiastic vibe on a long-standing musical tradition that dates back to the hot jazz of the legends, Fats Domino and Louis Armstrong. Like Dr. John and the Neville Brothers, Papa Grows Funk keeps that New Orleans lineage alive while always funkifying towards the future. Papa Grows Funk has fused the individual talents of its members into one unique sound, but still retains the initial spark they ignited in the beginning while jamming together at the Old Point Bar. "While we throw in New Orleans classics, now our songs and our groove are all our own," says John Gros. "We still love playing together and that comes through in our music." The band plays over 100 shows a year for its international and growing fan base. From the Highline Ballroom in New York City to the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, from the Nancy Jazz Festival in France to the Fuji Rock Festival in Japan, Papa Grows Funk has brought their “Mardi Gras in a bottle” music to iconic clubs from coast to coast and renowned festivals worldwide. With no play lists and no rehearsals every Papa Grows Funk performance is its own masterpiece of funk. On any given night, the band might change songs or grooves. But one thing is certain: whether it is jam band college kids or seersucker wearing professionals, five folks or 100,000, after John Gros announces "We’re Papa Grows Funk from the great city of New Orleans," the crowd is going to go wild.

Truly, the musical sugar the band produces is indeed so fine. The alchemy of Alabama’s own Anthony Crawford and Savana Lee Crawford yields mystically sweet, organic harmonies which are both accessible and familiar, while at the same time intuitive and distinctly their own. Whether singing original works (like Louisiana, Butterfly, and Sugar) or putting their down home sound on familiar classics (ranging from an incredibly playful and fun Hot Rod Lincoln to a spontaneous rendition of Roger Miller’s Dang Me or a dreamily mellow and psychedelic Midnight Rider), Sugarcane Jane’s appeal cuts across generations and appeals to a wide audience. If it’s your first time to hear Sugarcane Jane, you’ll find yourself saying, “Wow, who are these guys? They’re good.” If you are familiar with their work, you’ll overhear such comments and smile knowingly as you remember the exact time and place you first stumbled onto the band. 6:00 pm |

If you talk to any member of the band about their soulful Texas-Tennessee country sound, they will tell you in no uncertain terms, that family and music are their life and that has forged the sound of brothers AJ & Cleve Clark and nephew Brandon Trey. "We're definitely a family that has been involved in music from the beginning of our lives," AJ said, "That's all we've ever known. If you hear our music, you hear fingerprints of all that. Both of our parents were musical. They bought us instruments when we were kids and that got us started playing music, which eventually led to a family band. 6:00 pm | 27Gaslight StreetThursday, June 27, 2013 Soul music will never go out of style.

The Nashville-by-way-of-Texas-based, brother duo Alvarado Road Show are led by singer/ bass player/guitarist, Cleve Clark and feature A.J. Clark, singer/guitarist. The brothers create and perform rootsy American music about life, love and relationships. When you witness one of their performances, they will paint a colorful picture with words, notes and heart through warm blends of harmony that will move and forever change the way you experience music. They are brothers, singers, performers, musicians, producers & songwriters.
The guys frequently tell stories of the days they played in a chicken coop and in front of a laundry mat from years ago, and of the road that led them to perform at the Grand Ole Opry. “Some of those early shows at the time, might not have been the coolest, but they are some of the most memorable. We count them just as important as the big stages.” A.J. says. Cleve continues, “Without those shows, we wouldn’t be who we are today!”
The two are known for their ability to deliver the songs that they themselves have tailored to bare their souls. “We try not to be afraid to open up and be real. That’s where our songs come from. Our lives, our experiences, our families and understanding we live in a world of extreme joy and sorrow” states Cleve, who is the younger of the brothers. Some of the guy’s works have been showcased on the recent release by Joey + Rory, “His & Hers” on Sugar Hill Records; Ty Herndon’s forthcoming country project; the legendary songwriter Mentor Williams’ “Just Another Songwriter” project which was also produced by the brothers and features Williams’ rock classic “Drift Away”; & the new Universal Records artists, The Elderlin Chicks. Kim Williams, Mentor Williams, David Z, Tom Douglas, Stan Lynch, Rick Carnes… these are a list of a few hit songwriter legends who Cleve and AJ share catalogs with.
“People can count on us being around forever!” A.J. states.
When not on the road you’ll find them on the 4-Bar-C Ranch in the hills of Tenn 6:00 pm |
