SUMMARY:Dar Williams
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, October 22\, 2026\n$49 Advance | $51 Day of show\n[all-in pricing\, no additional fees]\nDoors 7pm | Show 8pm \n“It’s a highway\, filled with deep\, exotic colors and beautiful delicate things as well as the perils that come from moving so fast\,” says Dar Williams\, describing modern life. On her 13th album\, Hummingbird Highway\, out September 12 on Righteous Babe Records\, Williams celebrates the colors she glimpses from her vantage as a touring musician. “I was a kid from the suburbs who listened when her hippie teachers said to get out in the world\,” Williams muses. Hummingbird Highway is the latest chapter in a richly unfolding story. Drawing on her experience as a playwright\, Williams populates her latest album with nuanced characters that come alive in the space of a few minutes.\nOn the title track\, Williams sings from the perspective of a child speaking to her peripatetic and sometimes struggling parent. Blooming columbines\, china blue teapots\, and cinnamon bark number among the “treasures” in her life\, despite the “pirates” that she imagines populating her worldly parent’s life. “The pirates can be all sorts of things living inside and outside your head. The child\, for better or worse\, knows that there is joy\, unpredictability\, and instability on the home front. She’s rooting for the joy.” \nSince 2013\, Williams has been leading songwriting workshops where she teaches students to let songs find their own trajectories. While writing the breezy bossa nova “Tu Sais Le Printemps\,” (single release 7/29/25) Williams questioned why she was writing a light\, flirty song amidst many gloomy news stories. “I was having coffee with some of my fellow retreat leaders and Beth Nielsen Chapman\, telling them about my ‘frilly’ song\, and Beth said\, ‘That’s just what I want to hear right now!’ It was a nice moment to follow my own advice and let the song find its way.” \nWith help from Williams’ collaborators\, the other songs found their paths as well. Mainly produced by Ken Rich at Brooklyn’s Grand Street recording (with two tracks produced by Dave Chalfant in Western Massachusetts)\, the Hummingbird Highway sessions were a microcosm of the interdependence that provided inspiration from inception to full production. These songs are ecosystems that thrive on co-creation. Daisy Mayhem brings roots-rock energy to the bluegrassy “Put the Coins on His Eyes\,” while long time touring-mate and collaborator Bryn Roberts creates both the hooks and immersive sonic landscapes of every musical genre. Simpatico “studio magic” can be heard in the happy rowdiness of the Richard Thompson cover\, “I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight\,” as well as in the contemplative “Sacred Mountain” where Williams wraps a halting melody around the narrator\, a Buddhist who struggles to reconcile inward contemplation and political action. Through gray skies\, snow pigeons\, and petitions to stem industrial pollution\, the character moves through shifting mindsets to work towards “what we see; what we breathe in time.” \nWilliams sees and breathes the way people connect with one another\, as chronicled in what she calls her “take on urban planning\,” What I Found in a Thousand Towns (Basic Books\, 2017). “I traveled and watched how other people created these cool things like town-wide science fairs and hilarious celebrations of potatoes and chili\, often going hand-in-hand with providing serious resources like food banks and free clinics\,” she recalls. Along the way\, she’s seen the devotion of strong unions (as in “Put the Coins On His Eyes”) and congressional reps alike. “Maryland\, Maryland” was inspired by conversations with her friend\, Rep. Jamie Raskin\, about what a new state song would include. “In the end\, my definition of a Maryland song was song about Jamie\, who is a proud\, patriotic son of the state.” As Williams continuously takes in the social landscapes of towns and cities\, she has also taken them home\, helping to start a thrift sale\, chairing a community board\, and helping to organize group sings in her New York hometown. “For someone who’s seen a lot of pavement and airports along with all the great places where I’ve played\, it’s especially nice to come home\,” she says. \nAs hummingbirds and folk singers fly\, they gain perspective and not just distance. She finds that wise perch on “Olive Tree\,” a single out on August 26. With production of stirring percussion and twinkling keys\, she considers everything that’s led up to our current moment. Williams observes “all of these strangers and friends” talking about world events at parties and dinner gatherings and thinks back to all the iterations of those conversations from Aristotle on. In a moving verse\, she conjures a time in 1913 when California Berkeley scientists planted an olive grove in the United States and imagined the generations who would meet in the olive trees’ shade for “over one thousand years.” When Williams promises “I’ll meet you here under an olive tree\,” we all know that both she and we will\, wherever and whenever we continue to foster olive trees and a human-scale\, deeply-rooted democratic society. \nLongtime listeners know that Williams and her music are always up for those kinds of conversations that glimpse the brightest colors\, woven into the larger context of time. “As I’ve gotten older\, I feel more comfortable holding a lot of different threads in my hand to create more complicated patterns. Time has given me a better ability to hold a bunch of colors and temperaments and see what happens\, where they become interesting new stories and also where I need to stop and untangle the themes and characters. It’s daunting\, and I’ve learned that\, you know\, daunting is fine\, just keep going.” \nA prolific lyricist and composer\, Matthews has found inspiration in her surroundings; from driving through the Blue Ridge Mountains to the compelling and heart-breaking love story of Richard and Mildred Loving. Thoughtful\, realistic and emotional\, Matthews’ songs speak to the voice of our generation and remind us why music indeed soothes the soul.

SUMMARY:East Nash Grass
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, October 29\, 2026\n$30 Advance | $32 Day of Show\n[all-in pricing\, no additional fees]\nDoors 7pm | Show 8pm \nHow did East Nash Grass follow up their 2024 International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) award for Best New Artist? By earning a nomination for Entertainer of the Year\, IBMA’s highest honor\, in 2025\, and celebrating fiddler Maddie Denton’s win as Fiddler of the Year. In short\, East Nash Grass have quickly established themselves as the fresh new face of Nashville’s storied bluegrass tradition\, a supergroup of rising stars: Grand Master Fiddle champion Denton is joined by banjo player Cory Walker (banjo player on the five-time nominated “Carter & Cleveland” album this year\, among numerous accolades)\, 2022 IBMA Momentum Instrumentalist of the Year Harry Clark\, and new guitar player Frank Rische. This is an all-star band that harkens back to the sort of talent collected in the original Blue Grass Boys and a powerhouse leader of the next generation in bluegrass excellence.\n\nRolling Stone had them among the “best of what we saw” at RockyGrass in 2025\, praising their “rowdy set of high-octane bluegrass numbers\,” and noting\, “The group itself is a rapidly-rising force on the national touring scene.” \nAnd “rowdy” is right. They are far more than just a group of impressive instrumental technicians\, building on night after night of three-set gigs on Nashville’s East Side\, playing tiny stages for the love of it between tours backing bigger acts. It’s a hard-forged bond that translates into an infectious on-stage energy that audiences can’t seem to get enough of. \nWith their new release\, “All God’s Children” (Mountain Fever\, August 22\, 2025)\, they show a depth and feel\, too\, that goes well beyond the traditional bluegrass fair\, with nods to Gypsy jazz and East Village folk\, and eye toward moving bluegrass forward and keeping it from being too mired in the past. If East Nash Grass isn’t the future of the genre it’s only because they’re already among its leading lights.

SUMMARY:Robbie Fulks & Heath Maloney
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, November 13\, 2026\n$39 Advance | $41 Day of Show\n[all-in pricing\, no additional fees]\nDoors 7pm | Show 8pm \n“It’s time to make a change\,” Robbie Fulks declares at the start of Now Then\, his second album on Nashville’s Compass Records. This statement is familiar to anyone who follows this critically acclaimed and GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter’s career. Since emerging in the 1990s as a pioneer of today’s Americana movement\, Fulks has consistently explored different sounds\, genres\, and themes across 16 albums\, performing on stages from the Grand Ole Opry and Late Night with Conan O’Brien to the Hollywood Bowl and Jimmy Kimmel Live with Steve Martin\, Alison Brown\, and Tim O’Brien.\nThat restless spirit lies at the heart of Now Then. Like a well-stocked jukebox in your favorite bar\, the 12 songs on Now Then range from folk to power pop\, jazz to old-time country. But the perspective threaded through each one comes from the realization that the time behind you spans a greater distance than what lies ahead. “It’s from an older person’s outlook\, and mostly true\,” Fulks says. “The tone is about 70 percent reflective\, 20 percent amused\, and 10 percent angry.” \nIndeed\, the album opener “Workin’ No More Blues” quietly resists a world that demands greater conformity by the day: “Now I’m weary of those around me/And I know for sure they’re sick of me/They say I won’t do as I’m told/They say I’ve lost the thread/I’m too old.” The aged narrator of “Savannah is a Devilish Girl” — a dance between banjo and fiddle — dreams of disappearing into rural life. Love appears in the song “The Thirty-Year Marriage” as something more potent than romance. The narrator and his wife smile at young couples who don’t yet realize what only years reveal: “We didn’t fall out of love/We fell into rhythm.” \nA constant across Now Then is the novelist’s eye for lyrical detail. Peeling back these story songs often uncovers harsh truths\, as in “Your Tormentors\,” where the music’s late-night setting hides family secrets. In “That was Juarez\, This is Alpine\,” a narrator describes a cross-border journey into a troubled landscape of political division and historical injustice\, with the music providing an epic sweep. And “Ocean City” tells a coming-of-age story set in summer 1974\, narrated by a young boy. Adults drink and play gin rummy\, and the boardwalk holds lifelong desires. “The girl downstairs/Has wavy yellow hair/That I’ll be seeing a long time in dreams\,” Fulks sings. \nThroughout his career\, Fulks has collaborated with some of music’s most distinguished artists\, including Lucinda Williams\, jazz violinist Jenny Scheinman\, bluegrass pioneers Sam Bush\, Jerry Douglas\, Alison Brown\, and Sierra Hull\, singer Kelly Willis\, NRBQ’s Al Anderson\, and steel guitarist Lloyd Green. Now Then expands this circle with contributions from Scheinman\, drummers Pete Thomas (Elvis Costello) and Jay Bellerose (Aimee Mann\, Robert Plant\, Alison Krauss)\, bassist Paul Bryan (Aimee Mann\, Jeff Parker)\, keyboardist Wayne Horvitz (John Zorn\, Bill Frisell)\, guitarists Duke Levine (Bonnie Raitt\, Peter Wolf) and Kevin Barry (Jackson Browne\, Rosanne Cash)\, and accordionist Pepe Carlos (La Santa Cecilia)\, among many others. As an ensemble\, they craft intertwined musical textures that drive each song’s rhythm\, highlight their personalities\, and add depth. \nNow Then can be seen as Fulks’ proper “L.A. record\,” as it’s his first complete collection of songs written since moving to Los Angeles in 2019\, featuring musicians he connected with soon after arriving. “Working with people I admired on records but had never met\, who I was just starting to meet — that was at the front of my mind when I started working on the songs\,” he said. “They influenced me when I was trying to put the songs on the page\, and later when I was bringing them to life.” \nRobbie Fulks has always been more than a conventional country singer and songwriter. After growing up in North Carolina and spending time in New York City\, Fulks began his professional music career playing bluegrass in the band Special Consensus before emerging as a solo artist in Chicago during the mid-1990s. His early albums received nationwide praise for blending a modern sensibility with honky-tonk country. His creative partnership with the late Steve Albini resulted in a string of highly regarded albums\, showcasing his sharp lyrical wit\, sophisticated instrumentation\, and inventive storytelling. \nAlong the way\, Fulks gained recognition for his instrumental virtuosity and powerful songwriting. Artists like Sam Bush\, Andrew Bird\, John Cowan\, the Old 97’s\, and Hiss Golden Messenger have covered his songs\, and he has released full albums reinterpreting the works of Michael Jackson and Bob Dylan\, along with two collections of unreleased songs and rarities totaling 103 tracks. His creative ventures include an unhinged 2013 collaboration with the punk legends The Mekons\, productions of albums by alt-country songwriters Brennen Leigh and Dallas Wayne\, and a fiery duo with rockabilly pioneer Linda Gail Lewis. Fulks also performs with comic improvisers; he is a regular at Second City’s holiday fundraisers and has shared the stage with talents like Michael McKean\, Tina Fey\, Bob Odenkirk\, and Fred Armisen. \nFulks resides in Los Angeles with his wife\, actress Donna Jay Fulks. \nAbout Heather Maloney: With over 1\,000 international shows and 9 studio albums under her belt\, Heather Maloney has released her most personal record to date\, Exploding Star (Jan 2025). \nOn Heather’s 2019 album\, Soil In The Sky\, her “ability to channel emotion is radical” (PopMatters) and the tracks are stacked with special guests who help her deliver an immense range of sound and sentiment in 12 songs; there’s a duet with Dawes front-man Taylor Goldsmith and vocal harmonies by Lake Street Dive’s Rachael Price. The all-star band includes drummer Griffin Goldsmith (Dawes)\, and multiple members of the Amos Lee band.  The Bluegrass Situation called her 2015 release\, Making Me Break (produced by Band of Horses’ Bill Reynolds) “an intoxicating blend that captures the sonic texture of indie rock\, the humanity of folk and the spirituality of a Rumi poem.” In 2014 she released “Woodstock”\, her collaborative effort with Boston quartet Darlingside\, which drew praise from the New York Times and Graham Nash. \nHeather’s songs have played on NPR stations across the country and her live appearances have aired on syndicated programming like eTown and AudioTree. Her song “Nightstand Drawer” was featured in the season finale of the CBS TV series “Elementary”\, and her songs have also been streamed hundreds of thousands of times on editorial Spotify playlists & Starbucks’ in-store nationwide playlists. \nAs well as a songwriter and performer\, Heather is an illustrator and linocut artist who carves and prints visual representations of her songs on a variety of mediums. \nHeather has toured throughout the US & Canada as a headliner and also in support of acts including Anais Mitchell\, Lake Street Dive\, Shakey Graves\, Gary Clark Jr.\, Rodrigo y Gabriela\, Colin Hay (Men at Work)\, Mary Chapin Carpenter\, Shawn Colvin\, Dar Williams and many more.

SUMMARY:Falco and Book Play Jerry Garcia
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, November 21\, 2026\n$43 Advance | $45 Day of Show\n[all-in pricing\, no additional fees]\nDoors 7pm | Show 8pm \nAndy Falco and Travis Book are both members of the Grammy award winning bluegrass band The Infamous Stringdusters. Inspired by their love of the music of Jerry Garcia\, the duo branches off on their own for occasional tours to celebrate Garcia’s timeless songs. \n“The project actually originated back stage at ‘Dusters shows where Travis and I would typically warm up with some fun Jerry songs” Falco explains. “At some point we just thought it would be fun to do it in public\n\nThey draw from Garcia’s solo material\, his Grateful Dead catalogue as well as the Traditional songs Jerry loved to play. \n“Performing this music as a duo allows us to explore the songs and jam in a way that’s unique to playing as a Duo” Says Book. “We typically hear these songs in larger ensembles\, but the songs done with just bass and guitar somehow make the music very interactive with the audience. It’s really a testament to the quality of the songwriting\, and we like to put a spotlight on that aspect of Jerry.”
