                                <description><![CDATA[Squeaky Feet is redefining the prog rock &#38; jam-band experience with their electrifying blend of progressive rock, jazz fusion, and dance grooves. Combining inspiration from giants such as King Crimson, Weather Report, Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, and Rush with the modern improvisational ethos of Phish, Umphrey&#8217;s McGee, and Dopapod, the Denver-based quintet captivates audiences with high-energy performances that transcend genre boundaries. Seamlessly weaving triumphant solos, intricate rhythms, and exploratory improvisation, Squeaky Feet delivers a sonic journey that leaves listeners enthralled and live audiences in awe. Founded in 2019 by Berklee College of Music alumni, Squeaky Feet has rapidly built a devoted fanbase, thanks to their unparalleled musicianship and innovative approach to live performances. The band&#8217;s lineup&#8212;Colin Shore (guitar/vocals), Greg King (guitar), Jimmy Finnegan (bass/vocals), Brian Keller (keyboards/sax/flute/vocals), and Kevin D&#8217;Angelo (drums)&#8212;showcases a collective virtuosity that sets them apart in the jam scene. Their 2023 debut studio album, Cause for Alarm, solidifies their place as a force to be reckoned with. An 80-minute odyssey of progressive rock and jazz fusion, the album features bold improvisation and contributions from renowned guitarist Mark Lettieri on the lead single, &#8220;Tunnel Vision.&#8221;&#160; With wide ranging influences and a reputation for creating immersive musical experiences, Squeaky Feet is charting a path to the forefront of modern jam bands, one mind-bending performance at a time.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[High June doesn&#8217;t quite know what they are, and honestly, they&#8217;re fine with that. What they do know is that their sound is alternative, boundless, and unapologetically theirs. Drawing inspiration from a chaotic mix of genres, High June delivers a unique sonic experience backed by high-energy performances and a complete disregard for sticking to the rules. Formed in 2021, the band didn&#8217;t lock in their final lineup until 2023 at East Carolina University, essentially becoming five unpredictable college students united by a love for music and a shared goal of avoiding &#8220;real jobs&#8221; at all costs. Their debut single, &#8220;Crazy &#8216;Bout You,&#8221; dropped in July 2023. Since then, they&#8217;ve released ten more tracks&#8212;none of which sound alike, yet all unmistakably sound like High June. Each release is a new experiment, a new risk, and a step toward something bigger. The band is constantly chasing better songs, tighter performances, and any opportunity that helps them grow (and keep dodging that 9-to-5 life). Now riding the wave of their latest single, &#8220;Last Cigarette,&#8221; a gritty sex driven song that&#8217;s quickly gaining traction, High June captures their raw emotion and passion in a way that feels both intimate and explosive. It&#8217;s messy, it&#8217;s real, and it&#8217;s only the beginning. &#160; &#160; Cadalay is an alternative rock trio from Philadelphia, currently based in Nashville, Tennessee. The band has been writing and performing together since 2022 and has recently found success with their singles "The River" and "Forsaken". Their energetic live performances have captured audiences and they continue to write and record in Nashville.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[STRICTLY LIQUID PRESENTS: WEEN / LIVE IN CHICAGO TRIBUTE SHOW &#160; Strictly Liquid is a high-energy Asheville-based jam band turning heads across the Southeast. With a sound that blends psychedelic rock, blues, jazz, and funk, their shows involve sprawling improvisational jams and tightly crafted originals. Formed in 2021 when brothers Luke and Jesse Valcich met Joey Remillard in Tallahassee, FL, the band found its final piece in drummer JC Hannon. Mentored by jam scene heavyweights like Oteil Burbridge (Dead &#38; Co., The Allman Brothers) and Marc Brownstein (Disco Biscuits), Strictly Liquid&#8217;s sound is a true homage to their roots, with no two shows ever being the same. &#160; Since their inception, they've shared stages with acts like Oteil Burbridge &#38; Friends, Dizgo, and Tand, and made their festival debut at Resonate Suwannee 2025 alongside giants like Papadosio, STS9, and Lotus. They returned to Resonate in 2026 fresh off the release of their debut studio album &#8220;Music to Drink&#8221;, and are currently on tour as they head toward their five-year anniversary. For venues and fans alike, Strictly Liquid offers something increasingly rare: a young band with the chops of seasoned veterans, imaginative songwriting, and the momentum of a group that's only getting started.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Big Shrimp is a high-octane progressive improvised rock quartet formed in 2024 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, blending danceable funk, exploratory rock, and fearless improvisation into a sound that's as intricate as it is infectious. Built on hook-forward songwriting shared by all four members, Jared Sage Cowen (guitar/vocals), Max Perrotti (bass/vocals), Daniel Cohen (keys/vocals), and Henry Thomas (drums/vocals), the band has quickly earned national attention. Known for adventurous live performances that blur the line between tightly crafted compositions and spontaneous exploration, Big Shrimp has a fiercely loyal fanbase known as the Prawn Stars. With all four members contributing songs, vocals, and improvisational ideas, no two performances are alike. The chemistry that has become one of the band's defining characteristics and helped establish them as one of the fastest-rising independent acts in the modern jam scene. &#8220;...yielding some of the funkiest, most cathartic and most primal energy of the set. With catchy melodies, impressive solos, complex arrangements, and shifting tempos and moods, the band kept you on your toes and bobbing your head the entire show.&#8221; &#160;&#8212; NYSMusic That momentum exploded in 2026 with the band's 30+ date It's As Shrimple As That Tour, headlining rooms including the Aggie Theatre, Cervantes' Other Side, Buffalo Iron Works, Garcia's Chicago, Richmond Music Hall, Charleston Pour House, and dozens of additional markets nationwide. The tour culminated in the release of The Prawno Tapes, Vol. 4, a live album capturing the strongest improvisational moments from the run and featuring special guest Ryan Dempsey of Twiddle, who joined the band for several performances throughout the tour. "There's something about seeing a pack of feral 20-something-year-olds on a mission that calms any doubt about the future of music." &#8212; Josh Landes, WAMC Building on that momentum, Big Shrimp spent Summer 2026 following Phish throughout the Northeast with its "We've Got It Shrimple" after-party series. The run packed venues across the East Coast, sold out three performances, and introduced hundreds of new fans to the band's explosive late-night shows. On the studio front, Big Shrimp released its second studio single, "Alcaworkholic," in March 2026 as the latest preview of the band's forthcoming debut full-length album set for release in Fall 2026. The band's momentum continues this August with the launch of Camp Scampi, Big Shrimp's inaugural music, food, and arts festival in Addison, New York. Headlined by Big Shrimp and Spafford and featuring more than 30 artists across multiple stages, the independently produced festival reflects the community the band has built through relentless touring and an ever-growing national audience. Looking ahead, Big Shrimp has already announced a 30+ date Fall 2026 Tour, expanding into new markets including St. Louis, Milwaukee, Cleveland, and Charlotte while returning to fan-favorite cities across the Northeast and Midwest. The run also marks the band's third Colorado tour of 2026, reinforcing one of its fastest-growing regional fanbases as momentum continues to build toward the release of its debut studio album. With multiple live releases, sold-out after-parties, national touring, an independently produced destination festival, and a debut album on the horizon, Big Shrimp continues to establish itself as one of the most exciting new voices in progressive improvisational rock.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Everything Yes&#160;is a North Carolina based jazz-fusion group that grew out of the creative chemistry between friends who first connected in university. What started as late-night jams and throwing wild ideas at each other quickly became a band defined by one simple rule: say &#8220;yes.&#8221; Every idea, every experiment, every spark of inspiration &#8212; if someone brought something to the table, the answer was yes. That spirit eventually became the band&#8217;s name. Spearheaded by drummer / YouTuber,&#160;Zack Grooves, who has over 440k subscribers, the band features Cole Sipe&#160;on bass, Reggie McNeill&#160;on keys, Sean Reeser&#160;on tenor sax, and Nathan Graybeal on alto sax. Everything Yes is powered by genuine friendship. Their music blends jazz, funk, gospel, progressive rock, and improvisation into a sound that&#8217;s energetic, playful, and always evolving. Their live shows feel like a reunion of friends who trust each other enough to take risks and have fun doing it. As they continue touring and building their audience, Everything Yes stays rooted in the same foundation that began it all: creativity, openness, and saying &#8220;yes&#8221; to the moment.]]></description>

Redstone debuted the project with 2024's Lonesome Joy, a self-titled album produced by GRAMMY winner Dave Cobb and stocked with radio singles like "Wire" and "Roll With The Thunder." It was onstage, though, that Lonesome Joy found its true home.

                                <description><![CDATA[Weird Phishes is exactly what it sounds like - the iconic melancholy rock songs of Radiohead completely reborn as danceable, crunchy jams. With full-album performances, unexpected mashups, and gluey funk-driven improvisation, their jam-heavy take on alt-rock classics has sparked an unexpected energy in audiences across the northeast. Cleverly avoiding the "tribute" trope, Weird Phishes continues to push the envelope of what a mashup band can be, delivering performances that need to be experienced in order to believe. A quick glance at the band&#8217;s social media gives a glimpse into why this unlikely mashup proves worthwhile. &#8220;Bought tickets on a whim because I love both bands, had wanted to check out the club, and thought it would be amusing. I was not expecting such incredible musicianship and thought that had gone into their set...it was one of the best shows I&#8217;ve seen in years.&#8221; Said one user. &#8220;Clean, creative mashups of a favorite album and great Phish selections. Great energy.&#8221; says another. &#8220;Impossibly excellent show.&#8221; In July 2019, Weird Phishes solidified their place in the New England jam community, playing back-to-back afterparties after Phish&#8217;s performances at Fenway Park. With a growing fanbase and an ever-changing setlist, the band continued their breakout year with a fall run to the midwest. In a weird bout of poetic justice, Weird Phishes was the last band to play at northeast jam-staple venue Nectar's before the coronavirus pandemic of 2020. When live music came back in 2021, Weird Phishes returned with a force. The band made its triumphant return with a headlining performance at the inaugural Safe and Soundz festival, and took a victory lap with appearances across the northeast at Circus of Life Festival and a sold-out performance to christen Boston's newest venue, Aeronaut Cannery.]]></description>

Rooted in sonic exploration and an improvisational spirit, World Famous Pets&#160;approaches music as something fluid and responsive rather than fixed or pre-determined. The project first took shape through an idea sparked by Brickell and Chamberlain, eventually evolving into a collaborative creative outlet driven by experimentation and instinct. Their self-produced debut album embodies that ethos, with songwriting contributions from every band member, reflecting the collective creativity and free-flowing collaboration at the heart of the project. &#8220;Matt is one of those rare people in life whose connection to you never fades,&#8221; Brickell shares, &#8220;Years go by, and it&#8217;s as if no time has passed, and you pick up where you left off. As musicians, I&#8217;ve witnessed the evolution of his playing in awe of his talent and skill. His experiment to bring Kaveh and Mason to play in the studio with us for 6 days turned out to be a free-flowing fountain of song after song. They are all monster players who improvise in song form, changing tones and feel as we go along. We listen to each other and roll together like a river of music, not knowing what&#8217;s around the bend but tuned into the same current. We all felt it and just went with it, so fun, so astonishing and productive.&#8221; &#8220;I Guess It&#8217;s You&#8221; is the second track unveiled from&#160;the album, following &#8220;Maybe Somehow&#8221; last month.&#160;Brickell shares of the new track,&#160;&#8220;This song rolled right out of Mason Stoops&#8217; guitar strum like a familiar stranger&#8212;a welcome newcomer we all loved at once.&#8221; &#160;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Karina Rykman plays bass, sings, jumps around, and laughs a lot. In doing so, she has garnered rare attention and avid listenership. Straddling the worlds of jam rock and indie pop drenched in psychedelia, Karina&#8217;s effervescent presence comes to life in musical form. Born &#38; raised in New York City, Karina Rykman&#8217;s musical path began in her early teens playing in bands whenever she could while attending a veritable ton of live music as a fan. By the end of her senior year at NYU, Rykman&#8217;s virtuoso talent &#38; infectious spirit saw her invited to join pianist Marco Benevento&#8217;s band (as recommended by Ween bassist Dave Dreiwitz), with whom she&#8217;s performed countless shows including dates with Vulfpeck, Dispatch, The Claypool Lennon Delirium, &#38; many more. Rykman soon formed her own namesake band, accompanied by Adam November (guitar, loopers, effects) and Chris Corsico (drums). She quickly earned a reputation as an unmissable live act - a bombastic exposition that floats freely between dreamy indie pop and thick, distorted rock -&#160; with &#8220;fun&#8221; as its guiding light. Tearing up sold out headline performances to ravenous fans, show-stealing festival performances (including Bonnaroo, Peach Music Festival, and Sweetwater 420 Fest), opening for Khruangbin, My Morning Jacket, the Tedeschi Trucks Band (+ many more), plus recent appearances in the house band on NBC&#8217;s Late Night with Seth Meyers, Karina stays busy. Rykman released her debut album, JOYRIDE via AWAL in August 2023. Written &#38; recorded with childhood friend and producer Gabe Monro, the album serves as a vivid canvas for Rykman&#8217;s vibrant expression &#38; chameleonic songcraft. JOYRIDE features Trey Anastasio as co-producer &#38; featured musician, contributing guitar on five of the album&#8217;s nine tracks. The bassist/vocalist&#8217;s concerts are often packed with fans who feel more like friends&#8212;a testament to her undeniable charisma and her embrace of the live music community&#8212;and that circle continues to expand at alarming rates.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Less than a decade into her career, Katie Pruitt has cemented her status as an essential artist who helps us make sense of modern life and uncover meaningful ways of moving through it. Since the arrival of her critically celebrated full-debut Expectations (a 2020 LP that earned her an Emerging Artist of the Year nomination from the Americana Music Association), the Georgia-bred singer/songwriter/guitarist has assembled an acclaimed body of work exploring questions both existential and intimate (e.g., identity, self-acceptance, the quiet courage of living truthfully). On her new album Fools for the Fleeting, the Nashville-based musician reckons with the impermanence inherent to being human, shifting between poetic observation and confessional storytelling as she confronts such complex matters as ecological anxiety, love&#8217;s intrinsic fragility, and the profound isolation normalized by our increasingly digitized existence. &#160; Her third full-length and follow-up to 2024&#8217;s Mantras, Fools for the Fleeting emerged from Pruitt&#8217;s vision of creating an album that feels &#8220;rooted to the earth&#8221;&#8212;a concept closely tied to the LP&#8217;s underlying theme of nature as a mirror for our inner lives. A prime showcase for her warm and soulful voice, the 10-song set centers on a powerful yet intentional form of Americana/indie-rock, steeped in acoustic instrumentation and the beautifully imperfect friction of live performance, courtesy of musicians like Juan Solorzano (a guitarist known for his work with Ruston Kelly and Parker Millsap) and Aksel Coe (a drummer who&#8217;s played with Ella Langley and Sierra Ferrell). As Pruitt&#8217;s most outward-reaching and philosophically rich work to date, the result is a luminous meditation on transience and grief, connection as survival, and the transformative power of presence and surrender.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[The Wellermen first captured global attention in 2021, when their viral sea shanty performances helped spark the worldwide &#8220;Wellerman&#8221; phenomenon, generating billions of views and leading to appearances at The BRIT Awards and on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. What began as a digital moment has since evolved into a fully realized transatlantic live band with a devoted global fanbase. They mix the East Coast folk sensibilities of basses Bobby Waters and Luke Taylor (Boston and Pennsylvania) with the British musicianship of Jonny Stewart and Seb Payne, and the theatrical energy of Sam Pope, who starred in the West End. &#160; Blending American East Coast folk roots with British musicianship and theatrical performance energy, The Wellermen have expanded beyond their shanty origins into a broader folk sound while maintaining the powerful five-part harmonies that define them. Central to their identity is their rare dual-bass vocal foundation, creating a depth and richness that sets them apart in modern folk. &#160; With their EP 1778&#160;and upcoming original material, The Wellermen are moving confidently into their next chapter &#8212; honoring traditional roots music while building a contemporary folk sound centered on harmony, story telling and connection.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[FULL BIO:&#160; We like to believe our lives can be shaped into stories&#8212;clean arcs, legible meaning&#8212;but life refuses the outline. Instead, it moves bluntly and without apology, indifferent to our sense of order. Events pile up without resolution, momentum divorced from direction, motion confused for progress. Sometimes the only refuge left is the nowhere of our own minds. &#160; El Ten Eleven&#8217;s Nowhere Faster, the duo&#8217;s 16th release, was forged within that unease. Across eight tracks, it considers not just nothingness but velocity&#8212;the strange urgency that propels us forward even when the destination remains unclear. We are committed to acceleration, convinced speed itself might save us. The 33-minute album slows just long enough to pose the harder questions: what are we running from, and what do we think we can outrun? &#160; That tension appears even in the album&#8217;s artwork, once again created with longtime collaborator Rob Fleming. It depicts a classic liminal space: familiar, anonymous, quietly unsettling. A stained glass-colored building and a streetlamp blur at the edges, suggesting motion that feels less like escape than enclosure&#8212;the kind that traps rather than transports. &#160; Nowhere Faster emerged from Kristian Dunn and Tim Fogarty&#8217;s longest break from touring and recording in their 23 years together, though &#8220;break&#8221; is something of a misnomer. Dunn&#8217;s famously restless creative pace never slowed. Instead, he began writing for not one but two drummers, handing Fogarty one of the most demanding challenges of his career. The record also marks a first for the band, weaving real strings and piano throughout, deepening the palette of what is already one of their most layered works. &#160; The album&#8217;s titles and sounds draw from moments scattered across the band&#8217;s 23-year history. Opener &#8220;Uncanny Valley Girl&#8221; marks the return of long-retired effects like the delay pedal, stacking basslines into a dense, enveloping wall. It&#8217;s a clear-eyed take on AI-era paranoia, anchored by Fogarty&#8217;s steady rhythm&#8212;snare taut, cymbals gently alive&#8212;giving the sci-fi unease something solid to lean on. &#8220;Bjork&#8217;s Alarm Clock,&#8221; meanwhile, takes its title from an insult hurled at the band by a guitarist of a punk band on their first tour; you can almost hear Dunn and Fogarty&#8217;s quiet laughter beneath the buoyant bass and bow-scratched strings. Still, Nowhere Faster is not a retreat into nostalgia. El Ten Eleven remains invested in risk and reinvention. The record continues to center Fogarty&#8217;s propulsive drumming and Dunn&#8217;s bass-driven experimentation: the first four tracks (&#8220;side A&#8221;) feature electric bass, while the latter half (&#8220;side B&#8221;) shifts to acoustic bass processed through pedals, subtly altering the album&#8217;s emotional weight. &#8220;Last Night In The Kitchen&#8221; reaches for the slick, sleazy bombast of classic Bond themes, opening new corridors for Dunn&#8217;s ever-expanding musical ambitions. Album closer &#8220;So It Goes&#8221; draws inspiration from Dunn&#8217;s reading of Kurt Vonnegut&#8217;s Slaughterhouse-Five, coinciding with his reckoning with aging, loss, and the deaths of friends. Built around one of his stranger sonic experiments&#8212;a capo wrapped around a fretless acoustic bass&#8212;the song unfurls into a twangy, americana-inflected lament. It sounds like the quiet moments when reflection catches up to us, when we take inventory of the gnashes and scars left by the jaws of life.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Dizgo -&#160; Born from attic jam sessions between childhood friends Andrew Pickel and Kevin Hinnefeld, Dizgo&#8217;s story began with two guitars, a tape recorder, and a dream - literally. The band&#8217;s name came to Hinnefeld in a dream, before their first gig, reflecting the cosmic, boundary-breaking sound they&#8217;d soon deliver. Later joined by Jake Evatt on keys/vocals and Justin Clark on drums, the Bloomington-based quartet has since evolved into one of the country's premiere touring acts. Critics have called Dizgo &#8220;one of the most operative names in the jam band scene&#8221; and &#8220;Indiana&#8217;s psychedelic powerhouse,&#8221; blending the adventurous spirit of jamtronica with the deep-pocket pulse of funk, the warmth of soul, explosive guitar, and the kaleidoscopic textures of psychedelic rock. Their live shows are immersive journeys - a dance party and mind-trip rolled into one. Interweaving soulful vocals, analog synths, and searing guitar complete with intricate compositions and extended improvisation. The result is something both danceable and introspective: a dance floor where heads and hearts move in equal measure. Dizgo&#8217;s touring resume reads like a true music lover&#8217;s bucket list - standout sets at Peach Music Festival, Summer Camp, Secret Dreams, Domefest and Sonic Bloom, alongside club and amphitheater performances supporting Goose, George Clinton &#38; Parliament Funkadelic, lespecial, Dogs in a Pile, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, and more. Their 2024 studio album &#8220;Melt&#8221; crystallized their ethos: when everything locks in, the band and the fans &#8220;melt into one collective unit,&#8221; channeling energy between themselves and the crowd in a feedback loop of groove. From your local venue to the biggest festival stage, Dizgo creates a communal experience - one where genre is merely a suggestion, the band and the fans are a living organism, and every note is a step further down the rabbit hole. &#160; &#160;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Kash&#8217;d Out &#8211; Official Bio Florida-based reggae/rock band Kash&#8217;d Out has been hustling hard since day one. Formed when Greg Shields (lead vocals) and Jackson Hauserman (guitar) first met during a studio session, the band quickly found its sound. With the addition of Joey Brohawn on bass, Marshall Hearne on drums, and most recently A-Mac on keys, Kash&#8217;d Out's clever lyrics, tasteful guitar riffs, and infectious grooves came to life. Their breakout caught the attention of Hawaiian legends Pepper, who signed them to LAW Records and released their debut full-length album, The Hookup. Before the album even dropped, the band hit the road with Pepper and Less Than Jake, launching them onto the Billboard Reggae Charts and into households across the country. Since then, Kash&#8217;d Out has become a relentless touring force, supporting genre staples like Collie Buddz, The Expendables, and Iration, while also headlining multiple national tours. Their most recent album, Butter (released on LAW Records), showcased the band&#8217;s musical growth and experimentation, further solidifying their reputation for crafting songs that blend catchy melodies with honest, introspective lyrics. Now signed to Ineffable Records, the band continues to evolve. Their latest single, &#8220;Mushroom Tea&#8221; featuring Little Stranger, dives into a playful, psychedelic groove&#8212;bringing together bounce, wit, and a touch of nostalgic stoner charm. It marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter as they gear up for their next full-length album, due out in 2026. With a packed touring schedule and a high-energy live show, Kash&#8217;d Out continues to bring their music to fans across the country&#8212;spreading good vibes and authentic connection at every stop.

                                <description><![CDATA[Elf Machine, hailing from Asheville NC, is Mike Healy of Papadosio, Isaac Hadden, and Asher Hill, who together are improvising elements of electronic music, weaving together house, drum and bass, and breakbeats. Let&#8217;s dance! &#160; EarthCry is Anthony Thogmartin&#8217;s solo instrumental music. Staying true to live roots, an EarthCry show can consist of any combination of live instruments, mixing, slicing, looping, and cutting overtop of arrangements that come out differently every time. All the while, electronic controls are always facing the crowd to encourage a deeper experience of interaction. &#160; &#160;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Goodnight, Texas is a band you&#8217;ve almost certainly heard somewhere. You&#8217;re going through their catalog, hearing lyrics about trapped coal miners and lovebird bank robbers. Banjos and mandolins, genre tough to pin down. Now you&#8217;re interested, so you go see them live. The show is swelling to a fever pitch, and suddenly they&#8217;re singing devastating harmonies off mic, then rocking again, full tilt.&#160; The band&#8217;s most recent album Signals is a raucous one. Its first single, &#8220;RUNAWAYS,&#8221; even features a guest solo from Metallica&#8217;s Kirk Hammett, who admired the band&#8217;s version of &#8220;Of Wolf and Man&#8221; on the 2022 charity covers album The Metallica Blacklist. Beyond the memorable sock-you-in-the-face riffs, GN, TX seems to be stretching sonic roots deeper in every direction on Signals, with studio help from Oakland&#8217;s Ian and Jay Pellicci (Deerhoof, Tune-Yards). Stories of the Americana of yore blend into the near past and present via tales of DB Cooper and North Dakota oil field workers. Electric guitars pound like hammers, but the mandolins still twinkle like dim stars.&#160; Googling, you find recent features in NME, Rolling Stone, No Depression and Consequence of Sound, and appearances at festivals such as Austin City Limits, SXSW, Red Wing Roots, Old Settlers Festival and Beachlife Ranch. They&#8217;ve toured with acts such as The Dead South, Larkin Poe, Shakey Graves, Trampled by Turtles, The Brothers Comatose, and John Craigie. In 2020, their song &#8220;The Railroad&#8221; was the opening montage theme for episode one of Tiger King, which had 53 million streams in its first week. Maybe that&#8217;s where you heard them in the first place. Or maybe it was the Coors Banquet commercial with Sam Elliott. Wait a minute, they have 250 million streams across platforms. Maybe you heard them in your favorite bar, or your friend&#8217;s car.&#160; On stage, now late in the set, the band burns through a yet-unreleased song that the die-hard fans up front don&#8217;t recognize. Perhaps they have new music coming in 2026? Also you are fairly certain you overhear their roadie mention plans for what appears to be their first ever tour in Europe. That&#8217;s a big deal. You text your cousins across the Atlantic to look Goodnight, Texas up.&#160; Still at the merch table at last call, you learn: Goodnight, Texas is named for an actual hamlet of 27 people and dozens of dogs, the exact mile-for-mile midpoint between co-founders Avi Vinocur and Patrick Dyer Wolf&#8217;s homes on each coast. They&#8217;ve been there a bunch of times, most recently to play a show for everybody who was around, and to hand out copies of their newest music.&#160;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[A man walks barefoot through the snow, takes a long bath in an icy river, then searches Craigslist for new-in-box cassette tapes from the early 90&#8217;s.&#160; &#160; He lights a candle, loads the tape, and waits. &#160; He&#8217;s listening for something unknown, yet familiar: the edge. &#160; This is a man staring down midlife with a renewed sense of vision, a recently unearthed Tascam Portastudio, and a call to embody masculine vulnerability through rock and roll song. &#160; In other words&#8230;Theo Katzman is returning to his singer-songwriter roots, with a series of intimate solo performances across the globe. &#160; He aims to pierce your heart. &#160; His aim is true.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Son Little makes music that doesn&#8217;t fit neatly into a box - and that&#8217;s the point. Blending soul, blues, folk, hip-hop, and R&#38;B, his songs feel both timeless and deeply personal, built on raw emotion, rich textures, and a voice that&#8217;s equal parts grit and grace. He&#8217;s collaborated with The Roots and RJD2, produced a GRAMMY-winning track for Mavis Staples, and released a string of acclaimed records that showcase his gift for turning vulnerability into something powerful. His live show brings all of that into focus - intimate, dynamic, and full of soul. With a full band behind him, the energy builds - grooves hit deeper, arrangements expand, and the emotion driving each song comes alive in new, powerful ways.]]></description>
