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:Katie Pruitt - Fools for the Fleeting Tour
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

SUMMARY:John Gorka
DESCRIPTION:Doors open an hour before showtime.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nADVANCE PURCHASE: $40\n\n\n\nAT THE DOOR: $45\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\nJohn Gorka got his start in the late 1970s at Godfrey Daniels\, a small but legendary coffeehouse in eastern Pennsylvania\, where he was a student and resident soundman. Immersed in a scene that included icons like Stan Rogers and Tom Paxton\, he began writing and performing his own songs. Gorka’s powerful baritone and poignant songwriting earned early acclaim\, especially after winning the New Folk Award at the Kerrville Folk Festival in 1984. His debut album I Know (Red House Records) was followed by five celebrated albums on High Street Records\, and his music drew praise from Rolling Stone as “the preeminent male singer/songwriter of the new folk movement.” He toured extensively in the U.S. and Europe\, with artists such as Nanci Griffith and Mary Chapin Carpenter\, and his songs were covered by many prominent performers. \n\n\n\nIn 1998\, Gorka returned to Red House Records\, embracing a more personal\, roots-driven approach. 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
