SUMMARY:Jackie Greene
DESCRIPTION:Doors open an hour before showtime.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nADVANCE PURCHASE: $30 (+ fees)\n\n\n\nDAY OF SHOW: $40 (+ fees)\n\n\n\nAll surcharges and member discounts will be calculated at checkout.\n\n\n\nClick Here to learn how our ticket surcharge supports OLS.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmericana and roots singer-songwriter Jackie Greene is a jack-of-all-trades and an artist who can croon over soulful piano ballads as much as he can shred a bluesy guitar solo\, like he did as the lead guitarist for The Black Crowes in 2013. A road warrior and musician’s musician\, Greene’s new EP The Modern Lives – Vol 2 (out October 2018 on Blue Rose Music) finds him at a new chapter in his life: his first months of fatherhood\, time off his relentless touring circuit\, and a cross-country move from Brooklyn to his birthplace of Northern California. This new collection of six original songs is a thematic extension of The Modern Lives – Vol 1 EP (released in 2017 on Blue Rose Music)\, imbued with a Brooklyn basement DIY feel and ethos. He is a student of American music\, transfixed upon its progression through time\, as well as how regional sounds fit in a contemporary context. Whereas Vol 1 saw Greene experiment with the Delta blues as a canvas for his examinations of modern society\, Vol 2 sees Greene embrace the sounds of the bluegrass and folk tapes of his youth. \n\n\n\nLead single “Crazy Comes Easy” showcases Greene’s dynamic\, multi-instrumental range as he plays slide guitar\, organ\, bass\, and percussion\, the guitar licks an appreciative nod to his time in The Black Crowes. Meanwhile\, “Good Old Bad Times” highlights Greene as the songwriter as he rattles off lines like\, “How can somebody find a future? / If they ain’t got a foothold in the past?” while taking a critical eye to the idea of nostalgia. Piano ballad “Victim Of The Crime” was one of Jackie’s oldest demos until the feel of these sessions gave him the tools to finish a song that\, in his words\, was written for his wife before she was his wife. While the title possesses a kind of melodrama\, the song itself is tender and heartfelt as he details love’s trials and tribulations. \n\n\n\nGreene partnered with Academy Award-nominated “king of indie animation” Bill Plympton for a series of music videos for The Modern Lives – Vol 1 that would eventually become an animated short film titled The Modern Lives. The film is currently making the rounds at film festivals where it has already won the Jury Award at the USA Film Festival in Dallas\, TX\, and the Grand Remi Award / Best in Show at WorldFest in Houston\, TX. The short is also being exhibited at the 71st Festival de Cannes/Court Metrage\, Melbourne International Animation Festival\, and ASIFA-East Festival\, amongst others. \n\n\n\nSince the release of his critically-acclaimed debut album Gone Wanderin’\, Greene has built an enduring audience through a relentless touring schedule with the likes of BB King\, Mark Knopfler\, Susan Tedeschi\, and Taj Mahal. He played lead guitar with The Black Crowes on their Layin’ Down With #13 World Tour\, recorded and toured with Trigger Hippy—his supergroup with Joan Osborne—and in the last four years performed over 300 shows of his own\, all while continuing to record and release his solo work. Greene is a frequent member of Phil Lesh & Friends and sits in with countless other artists\, including Tedeschi Trucks Band\, Govt Mule\, Mississippi All-Stars\, Amy Helm\, Steve Earle\, and Bob Weir. \n\n\n\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram

SUMMARY:Dan Bern
DESCRIPTION:Doors open an hour before showtime.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nADVANCE PURCHASE: $25 (+ fees)\n\n\n\nDAY OF SHOW: $35 (+ fees)\n\n\n\nAll surcharges and member discounts will be calculated at checkout.\n\n\n\nClick Here to learn how our ticket surcharge supports OLS.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDan Bern is a captivating live performer who has enthralled a loyal and ever-growing fan base in the US and Europe since the mid ‘90s. His songs range from deeply moving to wildly imaginative and hilarious\, often within the same song. \n\n\n\nHe has been compared favorably to the great masters of songwriting\, such as Guthrie\, Dylan\, Costello. Though he draws from the great American tradition of songwriting\, there is something deeply unique and compelling that make you want to get to know the man behind the songs. \n\n\n\nHe conjures incredibly specific imagery like in a painting. Though he may turn to cynicism and political satire at times\, the beauty of his work is that he is able to imagine better worlds\, revealing a deep capacity for empathy and optimism. Bern connects with his audiences skillfully and directly\, weaving the topical and local in with the more universal themes. He has written for many films and TV shows\, and has made more than thirty albums. \n\n\n\n“If you ever read the name “Dan Bern” give yourself a treat and go see him. He’s been one of my favourite songwriters and musicians for the past 25 years. His songs are a mix of thought provoking lyrics and a wonderful dry wit. You’ll have a great night out!  —Roger Daltrey \n\n\n\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram

SUMMARY:David Wilcox
DESCRIPTION:Doors open an hour before showtime.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nADVANCE PURCHASE: $30 (+ fees)\n\n\n\nDAY OF SHOW: $40 (+ fees)\n\n\n\nAll surcharges and member discounts will be calculated at checkout.\n\n\n\nClick Here to learn how our ticket surcharge supports OLS.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere are songwriters who chronicle life\, and then there’s David Wilcox—an artist who metabolizes it. He has long been a quiet force in American folk music; a musician’s musician\, a writer’s writer\, and a seeker whose gift lies in making the personal feel universal. \n\n\n\n​With the release of The Way I Tell the Story (2025)\, Wilcox proves\, yet again\, that resilience isn’t just a survival skill—it’s an art form. The record shimmers with musical sophistication but leaves just enough space for the listener to feel what Wilcox has always done best: tell the truth\, gently but without apology.The music he’s creating now comes from a place that can’t be faked. In recent years\, Wilcox’s life has been shaped by his wife’s Parkinson’s diagnosis—a shift that reordered his priorities and redefined his sense of time\, love\, and presence. But rather than retreat\, Wilcox leaned in. “Times get tough\, and music gets good\,” he says\, and means it. These songs don’t dramatize. They don’t resolve neatly. They sit in the complexity of living—open-eyed\, unafraid\, quietly brave. \n\n\n\n​Wilcox’s career began in earnest in the late 1980s\, when his self-released debut The Nightshift Watchman caught the attention of A&M Records. His major-label debut\, How Did You Find Me Here (1989)\, became an unexpected hit\, selling over 100\,000 copies largely by word of mouth and live shows alone—an unheard-of feat for a debut folk record. Critics took note of his deft guitar work and emotional clarity\, but it was the unassuming wisdom threaded through his lyrics that truly set him apart. Rolling Stone praised his “soulful insight\,” while The New York Times called his music “a kind of open- hearted therapy.” \n\n\n\n​What followed was a string of acclaimed albums—Big Horizon (1994)\, Turning Point (1997)\, What You Whispered (2000) each one refining his reputation as a songwriter who knows how to say hard things in soft\, lasting ways. Over the years\, he’s shared stages and collaborations with artists like Shawn Colvin\, Patty Larkin\, Pierce Pettis\, and John Gorka—fellow craftspeople committed to song over spectacle. But Wilcox has never followed the current. He’s followed the work\, and in 2018 Wilcox won top honors In the 23rd annual USA Songwriting for his effervescent “We Make the Way by Walking” from his album\, The View From the Edge. \n\n\n\n​That work has earned him quiet but enduring respect. His songs have been covered by k.d. lang and Tony Rice; his guitar work studied by those who understand that precision\, when rooted in care\, becomes its own kind of virtuosity. His influence runs deep\, especially among younger artists trying to build something real in a world obsessed with surface. \n\n\n\nWilcox’s music still resonates\, especially now\, because it doesn’t try to outpace the moment. It meets it. In his world\, craft is a form of care. Introspection is a public offering. And staying soft in a hard world isn’t a liability—it’s a kind of leadership. \n\n\n\nFor audiences seeking something more than noise\, more than nostalgia\, Wilcox’s songs remain a rare kind of company. Not flashy. Not loud. Just deeply\, generously alive. \n\n\n\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram

SUMMARY:Ordinary Elephant with special guest Remi Goode
DESCRIPTION:Doors open an hour before showtime.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nADVANCE PURCHASE: $20 (+ fees)\n\n\n\nDAY OF SHOW: $25 (+ fees)\n\n\n\nAll surcharges and member discounts will be calculated at checkout.\n\n\n\nClick Here to learn how our ticket surcharge supports OLS.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMesmerizing folk duo Ordinary Elephant has spent the better part of the last decade on a never-ending tour that’s earned married couple Crystal and Pete Damore widespread critical acclaim and made fans of luminaries like Tom Paxton and Mary Gauthier. In 2017\, the pair took home the International Folk Music Award for Artist of the Year on the strength of their breakout album\, Before I Go\, and two years later\, they returned with the similarly lauded Honest\, which the Associated Press hailed as “one of the best Americana albums of the year.” \n\n\n\nThe band’s new stripped-down\, self-titled collection is the purest distillation of their sound yet\, showcasing the arresting power of the couple’s gorgeous harmonies and intricate fretwork. The songs are timeless\, rooted in rich\, character-driven storytelling\, and the performances are similarly transportive\, fueled by delicately intertwined banjo\, guitar\, and octave mandolin. Though the songs were born out of a period of deep uncertainty\, the record itself is a work of profound self-assurance\, one delivered by a duo whose personal and professional lives embody the limitless possibility of honest\, organic collaboration. Press play on Ordinary Elephant and you’ll hear more than just a husband and wife; you’ll hear the sound of sincerity and commitment\, of patience and gratitude\, of learning to let go of expectation and revel in the simple beauty of the moment. \n\n\n\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRemi Goode:\n\n\n\nRemi Goode is a classical guitarist turned alternative folk singer-songwriter\, based in Nashville. In a continual search for the truth\, her lyrics are filled with paradoxes and multiple perspectives\, as she attempts to embrace the grey areas of life. Receiving comparisons to Suzanne Vega and Kathleen Edwards\, Goode’s debut album\, Things I’ve Said Before\, released September 2025\, is an introduction to the indie-folk artist who straddles the borders between different worlds. A nylon-string guitarist nodding to the classical training and contemporary influences of her past while pushing toward a wider sound\, she creates her own version of modern-day American roots music: one that “has an intimacy to it that feels almost intrusive\,” according to Glide Magazine. Remi tours nationally in a duo with longtime collaborator and partner\, Gabe Lehrer\, featuring intricate interlocking guitar arrangements and close vocal harmonies. \n\n\n\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram

SUMMARY:Katie Pruitt with special guest Next of Kin
DESCRIPTION:Doors open an hour before showtime.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nADVANCE PURCHASE: $30 (+ fees)\n\n\n\nDAY OF SHOW: $35 (+ fees)\n\n\n\nAll surcharges and member discounts will be calculated at checkout.\n\n\n\nClick Here to learn how our ticket surcharge supports OLS.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLess 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’s intrinsic fragility\, and the profound isolation normalized by our increasingly digitized existence. \n\n\n\nHer third full-length and follow-up to 2024’s Mantras\, Fools for the Fleeting emerged from Pruitt’s vision of creating an album that feels “rooted to the earth”—a concept closely tied to the LP’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’s played with Ella Langley and Sierra Ferrell). As Pruitt’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. \n\n\n\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNext of Kin: \n\n\n\nNext of Kin is an alt-country trio with a sound that blends country-tinged soundscapes\, rich three-part harmonies\, and honest storytelling. \n\n\n\nWhat first started as a chance collaboration between three solo artists transformed into much more. Some call it fate\, others luck – they call it Next of Kin. \n\n\n\nWith the release of their five-song Homemaker EP\, their place has been cemented as one of the most exciting new voices in Americana. \n\n\n\n“They truly have the same magic that brought together the Highwomen and Dolly\, Linda\, and Emmylou. Next of Kin is that for their generation.” – KUTX \n\n\n\n“If you’ve ever wondered what the Chicks’ career might’ve looked like had they not been unfairly shunned by the industry\, keep a close eye on Next of Kin.” – The Current \n\n\n\nWebsite | Instagram

SUMMARY:Briscoe with special guest Noah James

Inspired by marriage\, landscapes\, and the cross-country tours that took the band across America\, these new songs were written on the road— as eclectic and evocative as the terrain that unfolded just outside the van’s windshield. \n\n\n\nOnce again\, Briscoe teamed up with Grammy-nominated producer Brad Cook to bring the songs to life\, collaboratively creating a record that expands their folk-rock sound in all directions. There are bigger arrangements\, sharper vocal harmonies\, and enough top-tier guest musicians—including members of Houndmouth\, Hiss Golden Messenger\, Bon Iver\, Mipso\, and Watchhouse—to form their own supergroup. \n\n\n\nThe result is a cinematic\, widescreen version of American roots music\, created by two lifelong friends who’ve learned to distill the thrill of the open road—and the challenges of growing up—into an ever-evolving soundtrack. \n\n\n\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNoah James\n\n\n\nAt just 18 years old\, Baton Rouge-based country singer-songwriter Noah James is emerging as one of the genre’s most compelling new voices. Known for blending raw emotion\, vivid storytelling\, and a sound deeply rooted in his Louisiana upbringing\, Noah has already connected with a rapidly growing audience\, amassing over 50 million TikTok views and over 300\,000 followers. His debut singles “Set Free\,” “Love Run Cold\,” and “Same Old Things” earned praise for their authenticity and heartfelt lyricism\, drawing comparisons to modern country storytellers like Zach Bryan and Wyatt Flores. With his signing to Santa Anna/Sony Music\, Noah is poised to take his music to an even wider audience\, solidifying his place as one of country music’s most sincere and promising young stars. \n\n\n\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram

SUMMARY:Howley (of We Banjo 3)
DESCRIPTION:Doors open an hour before showtime.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nADVANCE PURCHASE: $25 (+ fees)\n\n\n\nDAY OF SHOW: $30 (+ fees)\n\n\n\nAll surcharges and member discounts will be calculated at checkout.\n\n\n\nClick Here to learn how our ticket surcharge supports OLS.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe next chapter from the brothers who redefined Irish folk music. \n\n\n\nFor over a decade\, David and Martin Howley have been at the heart of a musical revolution. As founding members of We Banjo 3\, the Galway-born brothers brought Irish traditional music to new heights\, blending it with Americana\, bluegrass\, and contemporary songcraft to create a sound beloved across the world. Their electrifying live shows\, virtuosic playing\, and brotherly chemistry made We Banjo 3 one of the most celebrated acts on the international folk scene. \n\n\n\nNow\, the brothers return with a brand-new project: Howley — a re-imagining of that signature sound for a new era. With Martin’s dazzling mastery on banjo and mandolin and David’s unmistakable voice and rhythmic guitar\, Howley is both a continuation and a renewal\, rooted in tradition but reaching fearlessly toward the future. \n\n\n\nJoined by two world-class artists\, Kiana June (fiddle\, vocals) and Caitlin Leahy (percussion\, flute\, vocals)\, Howley expands the brothers’ trademark sound with lush harmonies\, fiery fiddle\, and rhythmic flair. The result is warm\, vibrant\, and deeply human: a band that feels both comfortingly familiar and thrillingly new. \n\n\n\nMartin Howley\, a seven-time All-Ireland champion and the first Irish banjoist to perform on the Grand Ole Opry\, brings dazzling precision and playful charisma to every performance. \n\n\n\nDavid Howley\, known for his soulful voice and magnetic stage presence\, fuses the sensitivity of a songwriter with the power of a rock frontman. \n\n\n\nKiana June\, the “fiddle-fueled” virtuoso of Gaelic Storm and Come From Away\, infuses the music with both elegance and fire. \n\n\n\nCaitlin Leahy\, an accomplished multi-instrumentalist from the celebrated Leahy’s Luck family\, provides rhythmic heartbeat and shimmering vocal textures. \n\n\n\nTogether\, they form a sound built on connection: the pulse of family\, the spark of shared history\, and the joy of collaboration. \n\n\n\nWith Howley\, the brothers have created something new: music that celebrates their past but looks ahead with open arms. Their live show is full of laughter\, harmony\, and heart\, the kind of energy that reminds audiences why they fell in love with folk music in the first place. \n\n\n\n“Fans of We Banjo 3 will recognize the spirit — but Howley brings it into a new light: deeper\, braver\, and bursting with soul.” \n\n\n\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram

Albums like After Yesterday\, The Company You Keep\, and Writing in the Margins deepened his catalog with stories shaped by family life and decades on the road. Collaborators have included Ani DiFranco\, Patty Larkin\, and Lucy Kaplansky. His 11th studio album\, So Dark You See\, is among his most acclaimed\, and his work continues to resonate through national broadcasts and documentaries\, such as the inclusion of his song “Where No Monument Stands” in Every War Has Two Losers. \n\n\n\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram
