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.

LUCIE TIGER (with full band)
Splitting her time between Muscle Shoals and Nashville, Lucie Tiger has been making her mark in the heartland of American music. “Lucie Tiger is showing the world what independent country artists can achieve on their own terms” (CountryTown).
In November 2025, Lucie Tiger won Country Vocalist of the Year at the 11th Annual Josie Music Awards, held at the Grand Ole Opry, Nashville, and she celebrated her 8th single on the Music Row Country Breakout Chart with Harvest Moon - an unprecedented achievement for an independent Australian artist.
To date, Lucie Tiger has had three Top 20 singles, three Top 40 singles and two Top 20 albums in Australia. All bar one of Lucie Tiger's singles that have charted were self-penned and among her most notable are Found My Home (#50) and Everybody Knows Your Name (#53).
Her 2025 single, Harvest Moon garnered her first review - a good one! - from Robert K. Oermann, legendary country music author and critic. In the same year, Lucie Tiger was the only country music artist to receive an Australian APRA AMCOS ‘Women In Music’ award.
A prolific songwriter, Lucie Tiger won Country Blues Song of the year for Gasoline at the 2021 Tamworth Country Songwriters Awards and she has garnered numerous top 5 songwriting accolades. Lucie Tiger has played countless songwriters rounds in Muscle Shoals, Nashville, and further afield.
With her band, Lucie Tiger has played many notable venues including Whiskey Jam - where she opened for Tyler Farr - and played the opening night at the W.C. Handy Festival two years running.
Lucie Tiger was listed in the Top 25 New Music Critiques in Music Connection Magazine (2024), and her music has been described as “crowd-pleasing blend of classic 1970s Southern rock (drawing influence from bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers) and contemporary country grit, flavored with Crossroads blues” (Country Music News International).

Recent inductees to the Georgia Music Hall of Fame and the Wisconsin Music Hall of Fame, founding members Kevn Kinney,Tim Nielsen and longtime drummer Dave V Johnson find themselves enjoying a continued legacy, having survived the pressures of fame, a shifting musical landscape, multiple lineup changes, traveling miles of back roads and highways to arrive here.

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.

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.

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.

"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.
Fred LeBlanc is the lead singer/drummer for the New Orleans-based rock band Cowboy Mouth and a freelance songwriter, record producer, short story author, and acoustic performer. LeBlanc has been called one of the more instantly recognizable figures in contemporary Louisiana music and has had 35 years experience fronting Cowboy Mouth. This special event will be an up close, personal experience with a unique blend of story telling and energetic acoustic performance not to be missed.

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.
