SUMMARY:Shemekia Copeland
DESCRIPTION:APRIL 12\, 2025 AT 8:00 PM \nAward-winning blues\, soul and Americana singer Shemekia Copeland possesses one of the most instantly recognizable and deeply soulful roots music voices of our time. She is beloved worldwide for the fearlessness\, honesty and humor of her revelatory music\, as well as for delivering each song she performs with unmatched passion. Copeland — winner of the 2021 Blues Music Award for B.B. King Entertainer Of The Year— connects with her audience on an intensely personal level\, taking them with her on what The Wall Street Journal calls “a consequential ride” of “bold and timely blues.” NPR Music says Shemekia sings with “punchy defiance and potent conviction.” The Houston Chronicle describes her songs as “resilient pleas for a kinder tomorrow.” \nIn addition to earning a Grammy Award nomination (her fourth)\, Copeland’s groundbreaking 2020 release Uncivil War was named the 2020 Blues Album Of The Year by DownBeat\, MOJO and Living Blues magazines. The album\, like its predecessor\, looked at the hardships and happiness people encounter\, seeking common ground\, demanding change and still finding ways to have a good time. \nCopeland has performed thousands of gigs at clubs\, festivals and concert halls all over the world\, and has appeared in films\, on national television\, NPR\, and has been the subject of major feature stories in hundreds of magazines\, newspapers and internet publications. She’s sung with Bonnie Raitt\, Keith Richards\, Carlos Santana\, Dr. John\, James Cotton and many others\, and has shared a bill with The Rolling Stones. She entertained U.S. troops in Iraq and Kuwait in 2008\, a trip she says\, “that opened my eyes to the larger world around me and my place in it.” In 2012\, she performed with B.B. King\, Mick Jagger\, Buddy Guy\, Trombone Shorty\, Gary Clark\, Jr. and others at the White House for President and Mrs. Obama. She has showcased on PBS’s Austin City Limits and was the subject of a six-minute feature on the PBS News Hour. \n“Shemekia Copeland is a powerhouse\,” said Rolling Stone. “She can do no wrong.”

SUMMARY:JigJam
DESCRIPTION:MARCH 8\, 2025 AT 8:00 PM \nWhen virtuoso Irish playing jumps the pond running naked through the wide open fields of bluegrass/Americana\, JigJam is born. Bluegrass and American Folk music originated from the group’s home\, and now JigJam is here to take it back! \nJigJam made its Grand Ole Opry Debut in Nashville in March 2023 to critical acclaim receiving a standing ovation from a sold-out crowd on Country Music’s biggest stage. The group was joined on the night by Garth Brooks\, Trisha Yearwood\, Steve Earle\, Lauren Alaina\, and many more. This Offaly and Tipperary-born band has started the first wave of attack in the new Irish invasion of Americana. \n‘Foot stomping’\, ‘high energy’ badassery is what you’re in for when you see this musical powerhouse live in concert. \nFounding members from Offaly Jamie McKeogh (Lead singer and guitar) and Daithi Melia (5 String Banjo and Dobro) were joined by Tipperary-born Gavin Strappe (Mandolin and Tenor Banjo) in 2016. This year they are joined by Kevin Buckley (Fiddle) to make up this iGrass (Irish Bluegrass) quartet. \nDescribed as ‘The best Irish band in bluegrass’ and ‘sparkling\, infectious’ these lads have been hailed as ‘Ireland’s answer to New Grass Revival’ \nBluegrass has its roots in Irish music and Irish immigration. iGrass and JigJam is what happens when the Irish find their prodigal son.

SUMMARY:James McMurtry
DESCRIPTION:NOVEMBER 16\, 2024 AT 8:00 PM \nJames McMurtry was raised mostly in Leesburg\, Virginia. He began performing in his teens\, writing bits and pieces\, and started performing his own songs at a downtown beer garden while studying at the University of Arizona in Tucson. After traveling to Alaska and playing a few gigs\, he returned to Texas and his father’s (Larry McMurtry) “little bitty ranch house crammed with 10\,000 books”. After a time\, he left for San Antonio\, where he worked as a house painter\, actor\, bartender\, and sometimes singer\, performing at writers’ nights and open-mic events. \nIn 1987\, McMurtry entered the Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk songwriter contest\, where he became one of six winners that year. Around this time he sent a demo tape to John Mellencamp. Mellencamp subsequently served as co-producer on McMurtry’s debut album\, Too Long in the Wasteland\, released in 1989. McMurtry also appeared on the soundtrack of the film Falling from Grace\, working with Mellencamp\, John Prine\, Joe Ely and Dwight Yoakam in a “supergroup” called Buzzin’ Cousins. \nMcMurtry went on to release a total of 13 albums to date. His latest\, The Horses and the Hounds\, was released to critical acclaim and earned an Americana Music Award nomination.

SUMMARY:Gaelic Storm
DESCRIPTION:OCTOBER 25\, 2024 AT 8:00 PM \nIt’s hard to imagine a band just coming into their own after 20 years of success\, but that’s exactly what makes a true anomaly. GAELIC STORM\, the multi-national Celtic music juggernaut grows stronger with each live performance\, and as you can imagine\, after two decades and over 2\,000 shows\, are a true force to be reckoned with. With their latest release\, Go Climb a Tree\, their music has never sounded more representative of themselves as musicians and as live performers. \nThe band attributes their continued success to their fanatic audience\, and it’s a well-diversified crowd for sure. The country-music folks adore the storytelling\, the bluegrass-heads love the instrumentals\, Celtic fans love their devotion to tradition\, and the rockers simply relish the passion they play their instruments with. Each band member\, in their own way\, expresses a deep gratitude for their fans\, but it’s best summed up in the words of Patrick Murphy: “The fans are the ones that have given us this life. We’re here for them.”
