COFFEE BLACK:
Founded by lead vocalist and pianist CJ Anderson, Coffee Black is a retro funk and soul band based in Florence, Alabama. Originally a solo act, Anderson released "The Black EP" in 2017. Shortly after the release, he was joined by Damyon Jolley, Michael Rogers, and Angelo Sandoval. From there the band kept growing until they had a horn section and a total of 9 members. Coffee Black brings its own unique twist to the funk/soul/R&B genres. Their genuine sound is driven by the rhythm section and sultry horn line.

Float Like a Buffalo is a powerhouse six-piece band from Denver, Colorado, known for delivering explosive live shows and a bold, horn-heavy sound that blends rock grit with deep-pocket funk, catchy rhythms, and soulful grooves. Their dynamic arrangements, infectious energy, and genre-bending style have earned them a loyal following and a reputation as one of Colorado’s must-see live acts. Whether performing in intimate clubs or on iconic stages, FLAB delivers an unforgettable experience that turns first-time listeners into lifelong fans.
Formed in 2014, the six-piece band features Cory Pearman (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Jason Clukies (bass, backup vocals), James Steinbach (lead guitar), Jon Cales (drums, backup vocals), Cory “Beef” Meier (keys, trombone), and Luke Story (saxophone, trumpet). Over the past decade, they’ve become a force in the Colorado music scene and beyond, playing iconic venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre, The Gothic Theatre, The Bluebird Theater, and Dillon Amphitheater, where they recently opened for jam-funk powerhouse Lotus. Their festival appearances include two performances at the nationally renowned Summer Camp Music Festival, solidifying their status as a band built for the big stage.
They’ve shared bills with an eclectic list of legends and rising stars, including Sting, WAR, The Motet, Pepper, HER, Turkuaz, Big Sam’s Funky Nation, Dragon Smoke, The Main Squeeze, and many more. Following their debut album Back From Nowhere and 2022’s Day Late, Dollar Short, the band continues to expand its reach - including a 2024 collaboration with The Cheyenne Symphony Orchestra to explore new sonic territory. Float Like a Buffalo has toured nationally and internationally, earned accolades like Westword’s Best Funk Band and 303 Magazine’s Top 30 Rock Bands, and garnered praise for their “mighty, melodious, sing-along surge…funky footings and mug-melting peaks” (The Wax King). With new music and more tour dates on the horizon, Float Like a Buffalo’s upward trajectory is undeniable - and their party is just getting started.

Toby Summerfield, 1978
https://www.tobysummerfield.com/about
Bassist, Guitarist, Collaborator, Improviser, Composer. Aught Dawg.
Summerfield comes from rock music, through jazz and tries to operate in a cross- pollinated musical garden. He’s most at home in complicated rock bands and free improvised situations- and especially loves when both can happen. But he’ll do whatever you ask him to, within reason.
He has worked extensively with Colin Stetson, jaimie branch, Dina Maccabee and Bill Brovold; been a section leader and sub conductor for Rhys Chatham’s 100 guitar performances and leads the large ensemble Never Enough Hope. During the pandemic he started a solo practice built in the tools and techniques he has developed through his career to collaborate with his musical friends.
He feels lucky to have been in Ann Arbor in the late 90’s and in Chicago during the Aughts, getting to play with the luminous humans who populated the music communities in those cities.

Tupelo Native John Murry Returns Home for Intimate Backline Music Hall Performance
Tupelo native and internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter John Murry will return to his hometown for an intimate performance at Backline Music Hall on Friday, September 25, 2026.
Murry, whose deeply personal songwriting and distinctive voice have earned him an international following, has received praise from outlets including Rolling Stone, NPR, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and the BBC.
After spending much of the past decade living in Ireland, Murry’s return to Tupelo offers local audiences a rare opportunity to see the acclaimed songwriter perform in the city where his story began.
Murry is perhaps best known for his critically acclaimed album The Graceless Age, a haunting and intensely personal collection that established him as a singular voice in American songwriting. His catalog also includes A Short History of Decay and other releases that have continued to earn critical praise on both sides of the Atlantic.
His remarkable life and career are also the subject of the documentary The Graceless Age: The Ballad of John Murry, which chronicles the Mississippi musician’s turbulent personal history, addiction, recovery and creative journey.
The September 25 performance is particularly suited to Backline Music Hall, an intimate Tupelo listening room designed to put audiences close to the artists and the stories behind their music. The setting will give fans an opportunity to experience Murry’s songs in the kind of stripped-down, personal environment in which his emotionally intense writing resonates most.
For Tupelo audiences, the evening is more than another concert. It is a homecoming for an artist whose Mississippi roots have remained an unmistakable part of his music even as his career has taken him around the world.
John Murry performs Friday, September 25, 2026, at Backline Music Hall in Tupelo. Doors open at 6:30 arrive early—seating is limited.

Born and raised in the legendary music town of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, Bay Simpson grew up with music in his blood. Raised around the studio and the stage, Bay learned early what it meant to pour heart, grit, and truth into a song. By his mid-20s, he had already lived a lifetime of music, earning the kind of experience most artists don’t see until much later in their careers.
At just 20 years old, Bay got his first major break as a songwriter when Kid Rock recorded and released his song “Never Enough.” That early success fueled years of touring, writing, and fronting his country-rock band, Outlaw Apostles, where he shared stages with legends including Dwight Yoakam and Jamey Johnson. Those years on the road shaped his sound, raw, soulful, southern, and unmistakably his own.
Now stepping into the spotlight as a solo artist, Bay Simpson is ready to carve his own path. With each song and every show, he brings authenticity, a powerful voice, and the spirit of Muscle Shoals to the forefront. This is a new chapter, one built on passion, resilience, and a lifelong love of music. Bay Simpson is just getting started.
