Dogs in a Pile\, an eclectic quintet\, has emerged as the heir apparent to the town’s rich musical legacy. Merging funk\, jazz\, and rock and roll with psychedelia\, the quintet presents a completely original vibe built on kaleidoscopic soundscapes eerily reminiscent of the days of yesteryear. \nThe Dogs employ a unified approach to performance and songwriting\, crafting aural mosaics through adept instrumentation and humble precocity. As avid storytellers\, they draw inspiration from personal experiences\, balancing life’s foibles with ever-present youthful sanguinity. \nDogs began when Philadelphia University of the Arts guitar gun-slinger Jimmy Law began playing with young Joe Babick (drums)\, a student at the Count Basie Theater program in Red Bank\, NJ.  Lightning struck when they were introduced to Berklee School of Music student and bass player Sam Lucid\, who immediately suggested fellow Berklee student and keyboard player Jeremy Kaplan. The addition of fellow Berklee student Brian Murray (guitar) in 2019 made for the quintessential final piece in the Dogs’ puzzle.  \nA string of successful local shows drove the development of a massive northeast fan base\, affectionately known as the Dog Pound. The band’s astronomical growth culminated in an epic\, sold-out performance at the legendary Stone Pony in Asbury Park during the summer of 2021. Armed with a fresh batch of new material\, Dogs in a Pile is taking its perpetually evolving testament to the Great American Songbook on tour in 2022\, visiting plenty of new cities and spreading good music and good energy to good people along the way.  \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n COMMON CHORD POLICIES: \nTICKETS: Advance tickets are only available online.

ALBORN is known for wearing stage attire to honor their blue-collar Midwest roots and bringing a tight\, high energy performance. Every. Single. Show. \n​ALBORN released their debut EP\, “Impairative” in 2020. Follow up singles “Full Circle”\, “Cause to Create” and “Hindsight” took them through 2021 and had initial success including Spotify’s “Rock Hard” playlist\, SiriusXM Octane\, Music Choice as well as terrestrial radio rotation. \nTo round out 2022\, the band did more writing and flew to Las Vegas to work with Chris Collier and James “Fluff” Harley. This dynamic production duo was fresh off working with Korn on their ‘Requiem’ album.  There\, ALBORN recorded 3 songs\, ‘Push’\, ‘Learn to Live’ and ‘Even Numbers’. A 4th song\, ‘Ten Times’ was then added to form the EP\, “Push”\, which the band put out through Pavement Entertainment (Sony / The Orchard) in early 2023.​ \nIn March 2023\, ALBORN hit the road for 18 days providing direct support to Powerman 5000 while ALBORN’s new single\, “Push” started at radio. The single was a big hit\, even charting on Billboard’s Top 40 for Mainstream Rock. \n​In 2024\, to follow up their incredible success\, ALBORN again went to Las Vegas to join Collier and Harley. This time the team recorded 4 songs the band feels is the best brand of ALBORN yet. The first of these\, “A Little Less Than Expected (Show Me)” releases 8/9/24 with it’s accompanying music video.

Hailing from Cleveland\, Ohio\, a city rich in character and music history\, this six-piece performance powerhouse carves their own path with an independent mentality. Front man Roads\, explores feelings more than sounds\, seeing where the emotional travel can take him\, while valuing being comfortable and honest. \nThere is a sense of seeing where the music can go on their 2024 new album. As an everyman-band making music to overcome life’s obstacles\, the “goals” that Tropidelic made when starting the band have all been surpassed. Roads says of the band’s future\, “I’m nose to the grindstone. It’s going great and I am going to keep going.” \nThe past year has included a first pitch at a Cleveland Guardians game followed by a live performance for the entire stadium; an adopted highway in their hometown; producing two of their own festivals (Sunny Days and Everwild Music Festival); tens of millions of streams of Tropidelic’s music; appearances at major US festivals such as Beach Life and Tortuga; tours with The Dirty Heads\, Lupe Fiasco\, 311\, and Michael Franti; and their first performance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n COMMON CHORD POLICIES: \nTICKETS: Advance tickets are only available online.

As a lifelong journalist\, Ridolfi builds songs around specific events\, emotions and observations. \nHis 2010 song\, “Drawn by Love\,” won the Bettendorf Library Civil Rights songwriting contest\, and celebrates the thousands of couples drawn by love to Iowa after the Supreme Court opened marriage to all. A new song\, “Beyond the Hollow\,” pines for unfulfilled longing. \nRidolfi heeds Guy Clark’s maxim to be specific\, but leave room for listeners. And if they start singing along\, even better. \nHe and his wife\, Sandy\, live in Rock Island\, Ill.\, where he has enjoyed a place in the St. Joseph Evening Meal monthly song circle for 20 years. \nCarol Montagwww.carolmontag.com \n“Upon hearing her music I was stunned and couldn’t wait to write about her. Once I even rented a bus and took a bunch of Des Moines Register reporters and editors to hear Carol sing. Carol has a true gift! Powerful\, beautiful\, harmonic\, soulful\, real. I’d match her voice and ability to engage an audience with any female vocalist anywhere”. – Julie Gammack\, former Des Moines Register columnist \n“Carol has a touch of homespun about her\, but she takes the stage like a pro.” – Chuck Mitchell  \n“A singer of new songs written by her for her. She cannot be categorized\, she must be heard.” – Burlington Arts Council  \nPerforming singer/songwriter Carol Montag has been described by folk music legend Tom Paxton as a “genuine discovery” and “the best thing to come out of Iowa since Bonnie Koloc.” Her influences include Joni Mitchell\, Judy Collins\, Eva Cassidy\, Julie Andrews\, James Taylor and many others. She has recorded four solo albums and two Christmas CDs. She is due to release her new album titled “Strange Ballet” in early 2025. \nCarol has opened for or shared the stage with Arlo Guthrie\, Michael Johnson\, Jim Post\, Greg Brown\, Priscilla Herdmann\, David Wilcox\, John Gorka\, John Stewart\, Cliff Eberhardt\, Larry Groce\, and Three Dog Night.

Brothers\, sisters\, fathers\, mothers\, sons\, and daughters understand one another at the purest level. When families rally around music\, they speak this oft-unspoken bond aloud and into existence. After 25 years\, twelve albums\, five Grammy Award nominations\, and sold out shows everywhere\, North Mississippi Allstars open up their world once again on their thirteenth album\, Set Sail [New West Records]\, welcoming other family (by blood and by the road) into the fold. \nAs legend has it\, Luther and Cody Dickinson started the band in 1996 as a loose collective of like-minded second-generation musicians who shared a local repertoire and regional style. Over the years\, the lineup shifted by design\, and each subsequent record offered up a different combination of collaborators. This time around\, they mined the talents of Jesse Williams on bass and Lamar Williams\, JR. on vocals. During the Allman Betts Band Family Revival\, the Dickinsons first linked up with Lamar\, son of the Allman Brothers bassist Lamar Williams\, Sr.\, becoming fast friends and collaborators and eventually paving the way for Set Sail. \n“The chemistry we have with this lineup is powerful\,” observes Luther. “We are all second-generation musicians and share a telepathic\, relaxed ease about creating and performing. I believe music is a form of communion with our loved ones and conjuring this vibe with members of musical families can be inspirational. Lamar and I are like-minded. I’ve never had the pleasure of working with a singing partner like Lamar. He has a true-blue quality in his musicality that will pull you in and break your heart. At the same time\, Jesse grew up playing music with his brothers and his father—as did we. He plays like a sibling. We recorded the album fresh off the road and captured the energy we had worked up with him. I’m drawn to musical families\, regardless of style. Playing with second- or third-generation players allows us an easy unspoken musical dialog. It’s not a big thing; it’s just what we do. We never had to figure out what it means and takes to be a musician. We all inherently know.” \nFollowing 2019’s Up and Rolling\, which received a Grammy Award nod in the category of “Best Contemporary Blues Album\,” Set Sail continues the band’s tradition of creating roots music that displays remarkable variety. Luther and Cody Dickinson dig in with the production and different guitar tones; the record sizzles with hard yet understated groove\, grown folk music. Luther’s wide-ranging guitar style features jazz riffs\, psychedelic sounds\, and soulful slide. Drummer and multi-instrumentalist Cody draws on roots music\, rock\, jazz\, rap\, and other styles to create rhythms that propel the band’s sounds and move it forward.

Profoundly inspired by fellow midwesterner John Prine\, he’s a working-class folk musician to his core. His small town roots\, tilled with city streets mentality\, are turning heads North and South of I-80. \n“I love the energy\, music\, and creativity of Chicago\, but at the same time\, the roots and hard work of my small town\,” he shares. Growing up in Delavan\, Illinois\, with a population less than 2\,000\, Diekhoff’s grandparents were farmers\, and their values have always provided the baseline of his songs.  \nHe writes music for “the kind of people that come to my shows. Whether in Chicago or Delavan\, everyone has a story\, and everyone puts in a long day and works hard the same way\,” he says. “My generation may have been labeled as slackers\, but I don’t know anyone who doesn’t work hard – many people I know put in 50-60 hours a week and 12 hour days. That’s what keeps me playing. I don’t like anyone to be left out; my music is for everyone in big and very small towns.” \nHe listened to punk rock and grunge as a kid before discovering a friend’s dad playing Hank Williams\, and it was a revelation. Prine and Guthrie quickly followed. The name Chicago Farmer was originally for a band\, but the utilitarian life of driving alone from bar to bar\, city to city – to make a direct connection to his audience and listener\, took a deeper hold. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n COMMON CHORD POLICIES: \nTICKETS: Advance tickets are only available online.

His sophomore release ‘Coming Up For Air’ was produced by the legendary Peter Frampton\, with subsequent tours seeing him supporting and sharing the stage with acts such as Jeff Beck\, The Who\, Joe Bonamassa\, Kid Rock\, Lynyrd Skynyrd\, George Thorogood\, Brian Setzer\, the Sammy Hagar-fronted supergroup Chickenfoot\, and guitar hero Joe Satriani. \nKnowles has several top-5 Billboard Blues charting albums under his belt\, high profile TV appearances (Jimmy Kimmel Live and CBS Good Morning America among others)\, and has been praised with high accolades from heroes and press alike – but it’s not just the music industry who has taken note. Knowles was also the very first artist in history to perform live to the International Space Station directly from mission control in Houston\, TX\, and has had his music taken to the Space Station by two astronauts\, Nicole Stott and Ron Garan\, on their missions orbiting Earth. \nNever one to be satisfied or to sit still\, Knowles has explored multiple genres and styles\, from the hard-hitting 70’s classic rock influenced album ‘Three Miles From Avalon’\, to the haunting acoustic delta blues of ‘1932’\, and the sweet\, soul-searching folk of 2023’s ‘If I Should Wander’. \nWhether spending an evening onstage armed with just an acoustic guitar or wielding his well-worn and trusty Telecaster while fronting his blues/rock trio – and at any point in between the two – Davy Knowles is a versatile and formidable songwriter and musician. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n COMMON CHORD POLICIES: \nTICKETS: Advance tickets are only available online.

I may just quit my job and go follow Martin and make a fuss everywhere I go\, just to make sure that people don’t go their lives without hearing this man sing to them.” – John Mayer \n“His unpretentious heartiness helps him focus on every soul singer’s goal: to amplify the sound of the ordinary heart.” – The New York Times \nAmerica comes together in the music of Martin Sexton. Our hearts mend\, our political and philosophical differences melt away\, and the various strains of our roots music entangle. \nSexton has remained true to his mission of sharing peace and harmony throughout his 10 albums\, and in countless incendiary live performances. He has thus built a loyal following of fans\, including critics and superstar artists. He is without a doubt what Billboard calls: “The real thing.” \nThese days\, people are coming together to revel in Sexton’s musicality for his Martin Sexton Abbey Road Show. This is a live show extravaganza in which he performs the iconic Beatles’ album in its entirety followed by a set of mainly original music. Currently\, Sexton is also working on his 11th album\, which will be his first full-length album in 10 years. \nSexton is a songwriter’s songwriter\, with a multi-octave voice that knows no bounds. Acoustic Guitar Magazine calls him a: “Master of dynamics\, reducing a room to silence with his blustering baritone\, then teasing that silence with a fluttering falsetto.” \nSexton’s career in music has unfolded like the stories in one of his sweetly redemptive songs. He got his start busking on streets and performing at open mics. Since then\, he has gone on to be praised by modern legends such as John Mayer and Dave Matthews\, who calls him one of his favorite singer-songwriters. Sexton’s songs of grappling and gratitude were the soundtrack to John Mayer’s early gigging years\, and made an indelible impact on the budding songwriter. Mayer says: “This is the music of my LIFE.” \nSexton has headlined venues from The Fillmore to Carnegie Hall\, and his songs have appeared in television series such as Scrubs\, Parenthood\, Masters of Sex\, and in numerous films. His dynamically emotive live show has earned him critical raves and an engaged and loyal following. The Wall Street Journal says: “Mr. Sexton as an impassioned performer can bring women and men to tears when they see him live.” \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n COMMON CHORD POLICIES: \nTICKETS: Advance tickets are only available online.

That dream has now become a reality. XTC’s legendary drummer Terry Chambers is back on the road with his band EXTC. This is the only touring band featuring original members performing the XTC music in 40+ years! \nEmerging out of the post-punk and new-wave explosion of the late 70s XTC experienced global success touring with the likes of The Police and Talking Heads. The band put their hometown of Swindon UK on the map. They achieved huge success in North America and Japan. Sadly their legions of loyal fans would be left in limbo when in 1982 XTC stopped touring becoming a studio-based entity. \nBorn in early 2019\, EXTC would set out to achieve its goals of performing to audiences who had waited so long to hear the EXTC back catalogue performed live only to be bought to a standstill in 2020 due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. \nThe band eventually began gigging again in 2021 with sold-out dates around the UK. The band would go on to do further successful tours of the United States and Canada\, with EXTC also heading to Japan in early 2023. EXTC has kept much of the original fan base from XTC’s glory days of the late 70s and early 80s as well as gaining a new following of fans in their own right. Enthusiastic fans have lapped up the chance to see Terry and EXTC perform all those classics live once more.Alongside Terry the EXTC line-up features frontman Steve Hampton (lead vocals & guitar – Joe Jackson\, The Vapors and Dead Crow Road) and Terry Lines (bass & vocals – The Rams and Dead Crow Road). \nTerry\, Steve\, and Terry bring you the full EXTC experience with their mesmerising and engaging live performances as you relive the heyday of XTC. With new material already in the works\, EXTC is a band on an upward trajectory. With their popularity gaining momentum and international tour schedules increasing\, it is clear the sky is the limit for Terry Chambers and EXTC! A brand new live album will be released by a US-based record label on Friday\, April 4\, 2025. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n COMMON CHORD POLICIES: \nTICKETS: Advance tickets are only available online.

Now\, we’re going back to where the jam bands came from\, to the time when rock\, blues\, jazz and Latin music met and grew into our inspiration. Call it what you want – post-psychedelic\, proto-alternative\, protest music (we like that one)\, retro\, southern-progressive-hippie rock\, whatever — you can bet that great bands like Phish and Moe and Umphrey’s McGee would still be punching the clock at their day jobs without the contributions of Jimi\, Eric\, Carlos\, Duane\, Jerry … and Clyde. \nThe Beaker Brothers Band isn’t a nostalgia act or a tribute show. We’re playing music that has been in our heads and our hearts since we first heard it. It’s music of the night from Back in the Day\, played by guys who are as awed by it now as when we were driving home from a gig in 1969 and suddenly pulled off the road on a hilltop ’cause Clyde was blowing our minds again\, and we couldn’t get the signal down in the valley. \nThis is not your father’s rock band.

No guaranteed seating. Table reservations available.Age Restriction: All Ages (Under 19 must be accompanied by an adult) \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \n“A Powerhouse Unit” – Rolling Stone \n“Introspective lyrics and world class musicianship” – American Songwriter \nThe New York based Progressive Americana group Nefesh Mountain Band has been hailed as one of the formative boundary-pushing ensembles in roots music. The band’s creators and dynamic husband and wife team of Eric Lindberg and Doni Zasloff have created a world and sound all their own; blurring the lines between Americana\, Bluegrass\, Folk\, Jazz and Blues with a masterful hand as songwriters\, instrumentalists and composers alike. The band takes the listener on a deeply personal journey that embodies their own wild nature and unbridled free spirits\, bridging compositional prowess and prolific songwriting with deft instrumentals and jams. \nSince their formation nearly a decade ago\, Nefesh Mountain has been proudly open and vocal about their background and heritage as Jewish Americans\, and are among the first preeminent Americana / Bluegrass bands to infuse Jewish tradition and soul into the beautifully diverse tapestry of American roots music. For them the music is wholly American\, freely expressing their own identities while at the same time addressing the hate\, discrimination\, anti-semitism and racism that still remains at large in America and the World today. \nThe band has recorded and shared the stage with Sam Bush\, Jerry Douglas\, Bryan Sutton\, John Doyle\, Noam Pikelny (Punch Brothers)\, Mark Schatz (Bèla Fleck\, Nickel Creek)\, Mike Gordon (Phish) and Tony Trischka among others. The Troubadours along with their band continue to forge new paths in unknown territory\, armed with Zasloff and Lindberg’s strong\, smokey\, and folksy vocals and Lindberg’s soulful and masterful skills on guitars and banjo alike. In 2021 they made their debut at The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville\, TN and in recent years have performed various Festivals\, PACs\, and countless venues including Mountain Stage\, Merlefest\, Wintergrass\, Ossipee Valley\, Kaw River Roots\, Thomas Point Bluegrass and more. Through the years Nefesh Mountain has officially showcased and been a proud member of AmericanaFest\, Folk Alliance\, and the IBMA. \nThe latest album from Nefesh Mountain\, Beacons emerged from a bold and wholehearted attempt to transform the world around them. Soon after wrapping up a whirlwind tour booked with the mission of spreading their newfound message of radical love\, co-founders Doni Zasloff and Eric Lindberg immersed themselves in the feverish writing of songs that turned their frustrations and fears into irrepressible hope\, all while reaching far beyond their bluegrass roots and forging a fiercely joyful sound unbound by genre convention. By the time they’d completed that process of musical alchemy\, the New York-based husband-and-wife duo had profoundly refined the band’s vision and voice and arrived at the unfettered radiance of Beacons: an epic double album affirming Nefesh Mountain as a singular musical force—one whose deeply impassioned songwriting awakens us to new ways of navigating an endlessly troubled world. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n COMMON CHORD POLICIES: \nTICKETS: Advance tickets are only available online.
