Hayes Carll
VIP PACKAGES CAN BE PURCHASED HERE. VIP PACKAGES ARE AN ADD-ON EXPERIENCE AND DO NOT INCLUDE A TICKET TO THE SHOW. We’re Only Human Hayes Carll isn’t preaching or teaching. He’s not interested in telling the rest of us what to do or think. But he is charting out a personal guide for his life, quieting the noise, and sitting with his real voice – the one that’s candid, consistent, and often inconvenient. We’re Only Human is Carll’s tenth album. Like his best lyrics, it is also an understated masterpiece, an honest snapshot of one man’s confrontation and delight with humanity’s biggest and most intimate questions. Where do we find forgiveness for ourselves and grace for others? How do we hold on to peace of mind and stay present? What can we—and should we––trust? And how can we moor ourselves to, well, ourselves, in the midst of confusing, trying times? We’re Only Human offers audiences the chance to listen to Carll as he listens to himself. “I’ve lived outside of myself for so long,” Carll admits. “Distractions, fear, anxiety, insecurity, and the complexity of being human in this world have so often pulled me away from being present or at peace.” “I feel like there’s been a voice riding shotgun all my life, pushing me to do better, but I’ve struggled to listen to it,” Carll says. “The idea behind this record was to do the personal work I needed to do, then codify those lessons in song to serve as sort of breadcrumbs to get me back on the trail if, and inevitably when, I get lost again.” Carll is more than two decades into a celebrated career. Praise from places such as Pitchfork and the New York Times––the latter of which yoked Carll’s ability to tackle tough issues with wry humor to Bob Dylan––punctuate a resume that includes Americana Music Awards and a Grammy nomination. His songs aren’t safe, but many of Nashville’s stars have recorded them, including Kenny Chesney, Lee Ann Womack, and Brothers Osborne. As a solo recording artist, Carll has long-since established himself as one of Americana’s most-played––and most loved––voices. His warm but crackling vocals, wit, and heart dance through wordplay that’s always clever, and never too precious. Through it all, whenever Carll points a finger, it’s most often at himself. As We’re Only Human collects moments of Carll figuring out how to be with himself, the songs feel forthright, hopeful, and timely. In today’s onslaught of instant gratification, rage-baiting headlines, glorified intolerance, and falling empathy, the record is a startling outlier: an artist’s raw, real-life effort to live well—both with himself and others. Carll embraces private epiphanies, and shares them with the world, allowing them to unfold for all to see and share. In the end, Carll’s latest album is a lovingly and purposefully written collection of reminders. “I hope other people find something in it, too” Carll says. “Through it all, I am trying to stay appreciative, knowing that I did what I set out to do: write something that can help me navigate this journey with a little more grace and peace.”
Origami Angel
Feeling Not Found, the third full-length record from Washington, D.C. duo Origami Angel, is the one—the rare, undeniable piece of work that defines a sound, a moment, a subculture, a band’s position in the continuum of music. Vocalist/guitarist Ryland Heagy and drummer Pat Doherty have been building to this record since they started the band in 2016, growing it quickly into one of the most exciting and volcanic bands in the American punk and emo communities. A 14-track epic recorded with producer Will Yip at his Studio 4 Recording, Feeling Not Found revolves around the deeply modern experience teased in the title: an emotional and spiritual 404 error, a sensation of cellular-level malfunction and data corruption, of being lost in an oblivion of digital information, and the desperate struggle to reconnect to how it feels to be human and whole. “I was looking at America as this digital silicon hellscape,” says Heagy. “What came to me was, in this amalgamation, this sea of randomness, I felt not found, you know? It speaks to where we were as a band, and where I was as a person. For about three years until we finished this album, I was in a very, very lost place in my life, and everything felt very random and unstable.” Heagy and Doherty explore and explode that limbo on a record that demonstrates Origami Angel at the top of their class, cementing their status as a boundary-pushing, breakneck, cross-culture and cross-genre phenomenon. The record is choreographed like a roller coaster, driving seamlessly between sunny easycore jams, crushing metalcore riffing, jazzy indie rock, misty emo, electronic, and so much more. It sounds like precisely what it is, the thing that makes Origami Angel so special: Heagy and Doherty’s twin brains poured out into an audio file, refined but unrestrained, unhinged and profound and in dogged pursuit of a creative expression of their lived experiences. Heagy and Doherty have been working on the material that comprises Feeling Not Found for years, through the time periods of both their previous LPs, 2019’s Somewhere City and 2021’s breakout smash Gami Gang. Those releases (and the intense, infamous live shows that supported them) established Origami Angel as a unique force that interspersed elements of ’90s math and emo with early 2000s pop-punk and easycore to grow something new and contemporary, something that felt as breakneck and relentless and teetering-on-the-edge as this era of human history. But the juxtaposition of the band’s rise in notoriety with the pandemic’s sudden requirement of online-only existence for musical performers fucked with Heagy’s head—a duality that runs through the new LP. “Growing up a DIY kid, a punk kid, it was all about the community, and that’s something that I strived to find,” he says. “Then it was like overnight, we had it, then we didn’t, but it’s growing into this thing that I can’t physically interact with. I just triggered my own personal anxieties and my own mental health was really fucked up by that. I was so puzzled by the way that my brain reacted to it.” All the difficult shit that Origami Angel have tried to work through on Feeling Not Found might not be solved or fixed forever, but there’s a mutual understanding that’s been established along the way, one that provides enough of a reason to keep trying. Heagy’s resolve is clear and powerful: “And I may not feel found, but I’m not as lost as I used to be/And it may not be right, but it’s not as wrong as it usually seems/I can be as here and as real as I want if I want and you’ll never take that away/This out of date software’s here to stay.” Feeling Not Found is out September 27 on Counter Intuitive Records.

The Traynr Band
Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives
Country Music Hall of Famer, five-time Grammy-winner, and AMA Lifetime Achievement honoree Marty Stuart picks up where he left off on Altitude, his first new album in five years, exploring a cosmic country landscape populated by dreamers and drifters, misfits and angels, honky-tonk heroes and lonesome lovers. There’s a desert flare to the music here, a sweeping, spacious feel that conjures up wide-open horizons and endless stretches of two-lane highway, and the production is raw and cinematic to match, tipping its cap both to Bakersfield and Laurel Canyon as it balances jangle and twang in equal measure. While it would be easy for an artist as accomplished as Stuart to rest on his laurels, Altitudeinstead showcases the work of a searcher with an insatiable appetite for growth and reflection, one whose ambition, much like his keen wit and rich imagination, only seems to grow with each and every release. Born and raised in Philadelphia, MS, Stuart got his start in bluegrass legend Lester Flatts’ band at the tender age of thirteen, and by twenty-one, he was working in the studio and on the road with Johnny Cash. Though Stuart built his early reputation backing up royalty, it wasn’t long before Nashville recognized him as a star in his own right, and over the course of forty-plus years as a solo artist, he would go on to release more than twenty major label albums, scoring platinum sales, hit singles, and just about every honor the industry could bestow along the way. __ “THE COUNTRY STAR” VIP PACKAGE: Admission to a private pre-show event at venue featuring a two-song performance by Marty and the Superlatives, along with a Q&A Storytelling session with Marty and Band. * One VIP Laminate and Lanyard. * Crowd Free Merchandise Shopping * One special edition poster
