Rock Eupora began in black and white. Clayton Waller was living a perfectly ordinary life — job, apartment, friends, his little dog Daisy — and a catalog of songs stretching back to college. Four albums in, everything seemed steady… until the music slipped away.
One afternoon, mid-hum, a thunderclap split the sky. A tornado tore through his monochrome world, lifting him and Daisy into the unknown. When the storm finally dropped them back to earth, Clayton stepped outside expecting the end.
Instead, he found technicolor. Brilliant skies. Electric grass. A road stretching toward something bigger. A chrome motorcycle roared up beside him. “This isn’t Oz,” the rider said. “It’s your life. Let’s ride.”
Rock Eupora lives in that moment — the leap from ordinary to vivid, from routine to reckless possibility. It’s about chasing the tune you almost lost, finding color where there was none, and riding toward whatever comes next.

"I'm burning down the interstate," Rob Leines sings halfway through Headcase, an album that finds the road warrior occupying the intersection of blue-collar rock & roll and outlaw country. Pulling triple duty as a songwriter, southern storyteller, and modern-day guitar hero, Leines fills his third album with tales from the fast lane, punctuating each song with amplified riffs and a voice sharpened by a heavy touring schedule. The result is a record for dive bars and dance halls, for highways and honky-tonks, for wheels that spin and horizons that linger just out of reach.

J. Roddy Walston is a force of nature. If his hits like Heavy Bells is are a war cry, then the deep cuts like Boys Can Never Tell are a tactical cosmic retreat. For some, his music is a form of religion, psychedelic in its intensity, transformative in its grip on the body, shaking loose something primal that’s been buried too long. It’s not about thinking,It’s about moving, feeling, surrendering. His influences are a riot of contradictions: Kurt Cobain’s fury, Nilsson’s fractured sweetness, Zeppelin’s power, and somewhere in there a perverted nod to William Onyeabor’s lonely calculator funk. Critics try to box him in, but Walston can’t be contained—he does chaos, and his live shows do damage, but fortunately his songs can pay the tab. Catch him and his band before he burns it all down again.

Drunken Prayer’s newest album, Thy Burdens, is an homage to the intense, sublime music of the church that means so much to the musicians who worked on it. Musically it’s snarling country-soul with horns, shouting and a lot of groove. The songs vary between the evergreen and the obscure. Represented here are tributes across the landscape: Thomas Dorsey, Martha Carson, Snooks Eaglin, Ralph Stanley, The Zion Travelers, Leon Payne, The Dixie Hummingbirds, Hank Williams, Odetta, Dylan, and traditionals that are too old to credit.
The project was spearheaded by Drive-By Truckers’ bassist Bobby Matt Patton who cut his teeth playing in fiery Pentecostal church bands around north Alabama, and Morgan Geer (Drunken Prayer) who learned most of the hymns they recorded from his great grandmother in Mobile, AL.
"If it's been left up to guys like us to spread the good news, something has gone wrong."
This started when Bobby Matt met Morgan at a shared gig in Chapel Hill, NC, where they found themselves instant friends and kindred spirits. After talking for a while the idea for this album was born. The inspiration, other than purely rocking the hell out, was a pull to get to the core values of the old songs. The incontrovertibly true and inconceivably vast principles of kindness, right and wrong, and social justice: Cosmic Gospel.
For nearly two decades, American Aquarium have pushed toward that rare form of rock-and-roll that’s revelatory in every sense. “For us the sweet spot is when you’ve got a rock band that makes you scream along to every word, and it’s not until you’re coming down at three a.m. that you realize those words are saying something real about your life,” says front-man BJ Barham. “That’s what made us fall in love with music in the first place, and that’s the goal in everything we do.” On their new album The Fear of Standing Still, the North Carolina-bred band embody that dynamic with more intensity than ever before, endlessly matching their gritty breed of country-rock with Barham’s bravest and most incisive songwriting to date. As he reflects on matters both personal and sociocultural—e.g., the complexity of Southern identity, the intersection of generational trauma and the dismantling of reproductive rights—American Aquarium instill every moment of The Fear of Standing Still with equal parts unbridled spirit and illuminating empathy.

Saturday, January 17th. Show starts 7:00 PM $22 advance $25 day of show. Five albums into an acclaimed career, Sam Morrow has carved out a sound that exists somewhere outside of genre and geography. It's his own version of modern-day American roots music: a mix of roadhouse rock & roll, bluesy R&B, and country-fried funky-tonk, driven forward by groove, grease, and guitars. On The Ride Here marks the latest leg of that journey. Morrow takes us along for the ride, singing in a laidback Texas drawl about highway haunts ("Thunderbird Motel"), peyote trips in the Mojave Desert ("Searching For Paradise"), and the glamor and grind of the open road ("Hired Gun"). On The Ride Here offers more than roadside ephemera and travelogue tales, though. Morrow isn't just focused on the drive these days; he's interested in the destination, too, and a number of these songs deal with the hard lessons and new perspectives that come with rest, reflection, and time spent at home.

Stud Ford is more than just a musician—he is the living embodiment of a blues bloodline. The grandson of the legendary T-Model Ford, Stud’s apprenticeship began at the tender age of six. While other children were in classrooms, Stud was on world stages and in the smoke-filled grit of local juke joints like Red’s in Clarksdale, Mississippi. From those early nights to the grand stages of the Telluride Blues and Brews Festival, he watched, learned, and absorbed the soul of the "Bad Man" himself. The trajectory of Stud’s life shifted forever at age 14. With his grandfather’s passing, he wasn't just asked to pick up the family music business, full-time; he was tasked with becoming the man of the house and the keeper of a cultural flame. He stepped into his grandfather's shoes with a relentless drive, soon hitting the road with Hill Country heavyweight Lightnin’ Malcolm. This partnership opened doors to the North Mississippi Allstars, cementing Stud’s reputation as a versatile powerhouse on both drums and guitar. He has shared stages with icons like Bill "Howl-N-Madd" Perry, R.L. Boyce, and Robert Belfour, all while forging a signature sound that bridges tradition with a modern edge and twist. Reflecting on his journey, Stud notes: "When I was a boy, I didn’t understand why my granddad was making me play all night in those juke joints... but when he passed, I understood that he was teaching me my culture and how to save it." He isn't just playing the songs of the past; he is "breaking the cycle and rewriting it."
Kody Shade Harrell is quickly becoming a force in the world of modern blues and americana. Drawing inspiration from legendary bluesmen such as R.L. Burnside and Mississippi Fred McDowell, but also contemporaries like North Mississippi Allstars and The Black Keys, Kody blends the raw juke joint soul of rural country blues with psychedelic guitar improvisation and relatable writing on the southern experience, dubbed “Modern Mississippi Music.”
