​
Here I Am, Nashvillian songstress Alice Wallace declares on her new album, released in June 2024 via Mule Kick Records. It’s a title that hints at her deeply personal, confessional songwriting style, one that invites the listener to gaze at her beating heart as each intimate secret pours out, propelled by a powerful, expressive delivery that marks her as one of the true vocal talents of her generation.
​
Alice does not hide behind the microphone, but uses it to amplify everything inside her champing to get out. She’s survived the highs and lows of life, love, and the music industry and finally produced the album she feels she was destined to make. Here I Am, she says, the real Alice Wallace.
​
​Alice moved to Nashville four years ago after more than a decade in southern California, and Here I Am is the first of Alice’s albums to be recorded in true Nashville style, backed by a lineup of world-class musicians and recorded in two whirlwind days with no rehearsal, just the way the best session players like to do it. Produced by Nick Buda (Taylor Swift, Martina McBride, Dolly Parton) the album features some of the most talented musicians Nashville has to offer. In addition to Buda on drums, the record features Grammy-winning guitarist Kenny Greenberg (Willie Nelson, Wynnona Judd, Hayes Carll), bassist Ted Pecchio (Doyle Bramhall II, Susan Tedeschi) and keyboardist Jimmy Wallace (The Wallflowers). And although Alice had never played with any of the musicians before, the combined talents in the room made for an electric experience that brought her songs to life in vibrant and unexpected ways.

​
Hailing from Akron, Ohio, The Shootouts are known for their energetic fusion of Rustbelt Americana, roots rock, and country music, which fans often call “country music for people who don’t like country.”
The Shootouts released their fourth album, Switchback, produced by Dan Knobler (Allison Russell, Bahamas, Lake Street Dive, Rodney Crowell), on May 30, 2025, on Transoceanic Records. The 12-track LP features guests Vince Gill, Rodney Crowell, Sam Bush, Logan Ledger, Lindsay Lou, and Mickey Raphael. Rolling Stone called it the "sleeper Americana LP of the Summer" and it has reached #4 on the Americana album chart.
The band has performed with Marty Stuart, Asleep at The Wheel, Steve Earle, Sheryl Crow, Charley Crockett, Chris Isaak, and more. On February 23, 2023, the Shootouts made their Grand Ole Opry debut, with six follow-up Opry performances since. They made their Ryman Auditorium debut on January 4, 2025.

DAVE ALVIN & JIMMIE DALE GILMORE
Monday, August 4 & Tuesday, August 5, 2025

​
When Grammy winner Dave Alvin and Grammy nominee Jimmie Dale Gilmore made the album Downey To Lubbock together in 2018, they wrote the title track as a sort of mission statement. “I know someday this old highway’s gonna come to an end,” Alvin sings near the song’s conclusion. Gilmore answers: “But I know when it does you’re going to be my friend.”
​
Six years later, they’re serving notice that the old highway hasn’t ended yet. “We’re still standing, no matter what you might hear,” they sing on “We’re Still Here,” the final track to their new album TexiCali. Due out June 21 on Yep Roc Records, TexiCali continues to bridge the distance between the two troubadours’ respective home bases of California (Alvin) and Texas (Gilmore).
IAIN MATTHEWS
Friday, August 8, 2025

​
Iain Matthews has been such a prolific creator for so long that he’s unsure if How Much Is Enough? is his 53rd or 54th solo album. What’s clear is that after a 60-year career including fronting seminal folk rock band Fairport Convention and hits on both sides of the Atlantic, he’s a man with little to prove but much still to say (even if he does threaten that each new record will be his last!)
​
“I just felt that I needed to make one more solo album as a farewell gift,” he offered from his longtime home in the Netherlands. “But how does a songwriter retire? I honestly don’t know how to stop being a songwriter and don’t know if I ever will.”
​
Released by Sunset Blvd. Records in October, How Much Is Enough? finds Matthews marrying his signature, eloquent folk rock to the sepia-tinted songcraft of Neil Finn, the wide-eyed, wistful wonder of a young David Bowie, and more recent influences including Elliot Smith and Hiss Golden Messenger. Fusing acoustic and electric instrumentation, it’s a record made by a man who didn’t need to make a record, and that purity and authenticity permeates its cultured songcraft and heartfelt lyricism.
​
Raised in eastern England, Matthews moved to London during the British pop explosion of the mid 1960s, where he was recruited as an original member of Fairport Convention, singing on their first three albums. Soon after leaving Fairport, his band Matthews Southern Comfort had a UK number one with Joni Mitchell’s “Woodstock,” which was also a hit in the US and Canada. After an album with semi-folk outfit Plainsong and a move to L.A., Matthews scored another North American hit with Terence Boylan’s “Shake It,” which peaked at number 13 stateside.
EILEN JEWELL

​
Hailed by American Songwriter as “one of America’s most intriguing, creative, and idiosyncratic voices,” Eilen Jewell rises from the ashes on her captivating new album, Get Behind The Wheel, picking up the pieces of her shattered world and finding new purpose and meaning after watching her marriage, her band, and what felt like her entire career fall apart in a series of spectacular, heartbreaking implosions. Co-produced by multi-instrumental wizard Will Kimbrough (Todd Snider, Hayes Carll), the collection pushes the acclaimed singer and songwriter’s trademark blend of vintage roots-noir into more psychedelic territory, with spacious, cinematic arrangements complementing her revelatory explorations of grief, loss, resilience, and redemption.
​
An Idaho native, Jewell built her career the old fashioned way, touring relentlessly with the kind of undeniable live show that converts the uninitiated into instant acolytes. Over the course of nine albums, she’s crisscrossed the globe countless times and shared bills with the likes of Lucinda Williams, Loretta Lynn, Mavis Staples, Wanda Jackson, George Jones, and Emmylou Harris. Rolling Stone lauded Jewell’s “clever writing,” while NPR declared that she has a “sweet and clear voice with a killer instinct lurking beneath the shiny surface,” and The Washington Post mused that “if Neko Case, Madeleine Peyroux and Billie Holiday had a baby girl who grew up to front a rockabilly band, she’d probably sound a lot like Eilen Jewell.”
BILL KIRCHEN - "Bill Does Bob"
Friday, October 24, 2025
Natalie's Grandview
​
In 1964 and 1965, a young Bill Kirchen made two pilgrimages from his home in Michigan to Rhode Island to attend the legendary Newport Folk Festival at the peak of the folk revival. While there were wondrous performances from old folk and blues artists as well as the new generation of folk stars, all were overshadowed by the emergence of Bob Dylan.
​
In 1964, with poetic masterpieces like “Mr. Tambourine Man,” Dylan revolutionized popular song lyrics. And in 1965, with a full electric band, he announced his abandonment of protest folk with a sound that would alter rock music forever. Bill Kirchen would later humbly acknowledge, “ my mind was blown.”
​
Over the years, Kirchen’s shows would always sprinkle in a Dylan song or two, revealing Bill as one of the finest interpreters of mid-60’s electric Dylan and, not surprisingly leaving his fans wanting more. Now on a new tour with his very fine Texas band, Bill will pay homage to Bob and satisfy his fans. First half will be devoted to the best of the Commander Cody and solo years, while second half will be nothing but Dylan from Newport. Add Bill’s memories of Newport, wry observations and stories from the era and you have an unforgettable evening as only Bill Kirchen can fashion!
​
About Bill Kirchen:
​
Grammy nominated artist and co-founder of the seminal Americana and Roots R ’n’ R band Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen, Bill Kirchen offers a very rare combination of guitar virtuosity, a mastery of roots rock ’n’ roll, and an easy connection with his audience. His guitar drove the Commander Cody classic Hot Rod Lincoln into the Top Ten, and spawned a career that has spanned over 50 years and includes guitar work with Nick Lowe, Emmylou Harris, Doug Sahm, Elvis Costello and many more.

​
JD Eicher is an Ohio musician known for indie rock and alt-pop songwriting that features expressive vocals and meaningful, carefully-crafted lyrics.

With several full-length albums to his credit, JD was enlisted to create the soundtrack to bestselling author Nicholas Sparks’s (The Notebook, A Walk To Remember) 20th novel, Two By Two. Eicher’s song of the same name – “Two By Two” – was played on Good Morning America, and Eicher and the song are referenced in the novel.
He has since gone on to write his own novel and companion album (The Lights Along Majesto and the album Majesto Sessions) and to continue the trend of being a go-to producer of custom music for various brands and special projects.
​
20 YEARS – A NOTE FROM JD
​
At the end of high school and into college (20 years ago!!), I started playing my original songs for anyone who would listen. I played on campus (shout out Westminster!); I played in coffee shops; I booked random shows in garages and fields across Pennsylvania. And I just never stopped. The joy of writing music and then getting to perform it became the pursuit.
​
It’s been sort of a hot air ballon of a career – high highs and low lows and a winding path the whole way. But the band and I have been able to keep this indie project alive thanks to two things:
​
-
Stubbornness
-
The kind people who have shown up for the music
The support has meant the world.
​
We want to celebrate these 20 years with some special shows. New music, old music. Solo acoustic, full band. Stories, special guests.
​
I hope you’ll be there. You’re why we’re still here.

ABOUT CHRISTIAN LOPEZ:
Rolling Stone says, “Lopez has landed on a sound that flies straight through multiple eras of rock, pop, and country.” Born and raised in Martinsburg, West Virginia, Lopez burst onto the scene with his debut EP Pilot and full-length album Onward (2015), produced by Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb and released on Blaster Records. Lopez hit the ground running, touring relentlessly through the club and festival scenes, earning accolades like Rolling Stone Country’s “Best Things We Saw at AmericanaFest” two years in a row. And soon after being hailed as one of their “New Country Artists You Need To Know.”
​
Lopez’s most recent album, Magdalena (2023), was recorded in seclusion at his ranch in Magdalena, New Mexico. Co-produced with Stevenson, the album eventually led to multiple invitations to perform at the Grand Ole Opry.
