SUMMARY:Blind Pilot + John Craigie
DESCRIPTION:Tickets Are Flying!\nZ2 Entertainment & 105.5 The Colorado Sound Present\n     \nDoor time: 6:00\nShow time: 7:00 \nBlind Pilot\nThe first Blind Pilot album in eight years\, In the Shadow of the Holy Mountain emerged from a period of artistic crisis and the radical transformation of their creative ecosystem. “I went through a few years where I wasn’t able to write—I tried therapy\, I read books on writer’s block\, I went on writing trips\, but nothing was helping\,” says Israel Nebeker\, frontman for the Oregon-bred band. After stepping back and reimagining his songwriting approach\, Nebeker challenged himself to write an entire album in a month\, then brought those songs to his bandmates with a newfound sense of receptivity. “I told myself that whatever songs came through in that month would be for the love of the band and music we make together\,” says Nebeker. “Instead of being controlling in the studio\, I wanted to let the songs live and breathe with the band as an entity. By the time we finished\, it was the most joy we’d ever had in making an album together.” \nProduced by Josh Kaufman (The Hold Steady\, David Wax Museum)\, In the Shadow of the Holy Mountain brings a potent new energy to the elegantly composed folk/indie-rock of past LPs like 2016’s And Then Like Lions. In a profound step forward for the band—whose lineup also includes drummer/co-founder Ryan Dobrowski\, bassist Luke Ydstie\, and multi-instrumentalist Kati Claborn—Blind Pilot’s fourth full-length unfolds with an exquisite fluidity\, fully harnessing the undeniable chemistry. “In the past we’ve always been very serious and intentional about the process\, but Josh often encouraged us to throw away our preconceived notions of what the songs were supposed to be\,” says Nebeker. “So much of the album came from all of us playing live together\, listening to each other and trusting our instincts\, and really getting to the core of the song\,” Dobrowski adds. The result: the most revelatory expression yet of Blind Pilot’s palpable reverence for music as a connective force. \nWhile Blind Pilot intends to tour principally as a quartet in support of the record\, the album includes contributions from longtime trumpeter/keyboardist Dave Jorgensen and vibraphonist Ian Krist. In bringing the album to life\, the band worked with a rich palette of instrumentation\, handling each track with equal parts extraordinary care and unbridled spontaneity. For both Dobrowski and Nebeker—who formed an early iteration of the band as college students in the mid-aughts—those moments of ineffably closeness serve as the lifeblood of Blind Pilot. “For me making this album felt like celebrating being together and still feeling that deep connection that’s been a throughline for our entire adult lives\,” Dobrowski says. “One of my very favorite things about music is the way it not only connects us as bandmates\, but allows us to connect to an audience—and then within that audience\, people end up connecting with each other. It’s this powerful thing that’s unlike anything else\, and in a way it’s kind of like magic.” \n \nJohn Craigie\nFor over a decade\, John Craigie has made music that brings people in\, not with spectacle but with sincerity and songs that feel like conversations. \nHis new album I Swam Here\, out February 6\, 2026 on Zabriskie Point Records\, was written and produced by Craigie and recorded between New Orleans and Astoria. Seven tracks were cut at Deslonde St Studios with musicians handpicked by Sam Doores of The Deslondes\, including Howe Pearson\, Max Bien Khan\, Jonny Campos\, and a guest appearance from Desiree Cannon. Longtime collaborator Anna Moss appears across much of the record. The remaining tracks were finished at the Rope Room in Astoria\, carrying over the same spirit and palette. The cover art\, painted by Brittany Schall\, nods to the design of mid century samba and jazz records. \nThe album’s singles trace the path of its making. “Fire Season\,” engineered by Bart Budwig\, was one of the first songs written and features Cooper Trail\, Nevada Sowle\, Luke Ydstie\, and Jamie Greenan. “Dry Land” was reworked in Astoria after early New Orleans sessions didn’t feel right. “Edna Strange\,” inspired by Marty Robbins\, is the only track where Craigie plays steel string acoustic\, with Max Bien Khan on nylon string leads and a trio vocal arrangement in place of Moss’s harmonies. \nFollowing 2024’s Pagan Church with TK & The Holy Know-Nothings\, which spent six weeks at #1 on the Americana Albums chart\, I Swam Here feels both expansive and intimate\, shaped by the musical history of the Gulf Coast and the stillness of the Pacific Northwest. \nCraigie remains a tireless live performer\, touring throughout the U.S.\, Europe\, and Australia\, appearing at festivals like Newport Folk\, Pickathon\, Edmonton Folk Festival\, and High Sierra\, and sharing the stage with artists such as Langhorne Slim\, Sierra Hull\, Gregory Alan Isakov\, Brett Dennen\, and Jack Johnson. His annual #KeepItWarm Tour donates $1 from every ticket sold to regional nonprofits\, and his John Craigie On The River trips on the Tuolumne and Rogue rivers have become cherished gatherings for fans. \nI Swam Here is a grounded\, collaborative step forward\, blending New Orleans grit with Pacific Northwest quiet\, and showing a songwriter still widening the world of his music. \n \nTICKET PRICES ARE INCLUSIVE OF FEES.

SUMMARY:The Crane Wives - ACT II with special guest Yasmin Williams
DESCRIPTION:Low Ticket Alert!\nPresented by Z2 Entertainment & 88.5 KGNU\n      \nDoor time: 6:30\nShow time: 7:30 \nThe Crane Wives\nBorn of the 2010’s folk boom and now comfortably stationed in their rock and roll era\, The Crane Wives epitomize the evolving landscape of indie folk. Their high-energy performances have been described as “charged with emotion and technical skill” (Blurred Culture LA)\, while their harmony-dense melodies support deeply resonant lyrics\, exploring the vulnerable and the ugly sides of the human condition. The band has amassed over 1.3 million monthly listeners on Spotify\, racking up over 150 million streams on their most popular songs and accumulating listenership from far-flung corners of the US to the UK\, Australia\, Germany\, Brazil\, Poland\, Mexico\, and the Philippines. \nFeatured by Michigan Radio and NPR’s “All Songs Considered\, ”the band recently released their sixth full-length studio record\, Beyond Beyond Beyond\, to high praise\, with Glasse Factory calling the album “a testament to the band’s ability to turn personal struggles into universally relatable anthems.” Niner Times describes the new release as “angsty\, haunting and gritty\, ”praising its departure from the more traditional folk sound of the Crane Wives’ previous records. Since its release in Sept 2024\, Beyond Beyond Beyond has accrued over 24 million streams on Spotify. \nThe pulse of the Crane Wives is delivered by Ben Zito (bass) and Dan Rickabus (drums)\, creating a driving\, dynamic backdrop while co-leads Emilee Petersmark and Kate Pillsbury establish expansive and gritty conversations between their electric guitars. A web of three-part harmony helps to soften the blow of their emotional candor\, like a 21st century Cerberus\, the hound of Hades reimagined as an emotional support animal. \nThe Crane Wives have 6 full-length albums under their belts and have performed over 600 shows across the US\, sharing stages with acts such as The Avett Brothers\, Lake Street Dive\, Rusted Root\, The Dead South\, Joseph\, and many more. \n \nYasmin Williams\nYasmin Williams is an innovative guitarist and composer known for her unique compositional approach and expansive instrumental style. Her latest album Acadia\, released on Nonesuch Records\, showcases her evolution from solo performer to collaborative artist\, featuring partnerships with notable musicians like Aoife O’Donovan and Immanuel Wilkins. \nWilliams’ distinctive creative process involves “ruminating” on single notes until compositions naturally emerge. Beyond traditional fingerpicked guitar\, she demonstrates mastery of multiple instruments including kora\, harp guitar\, banjo\, and electric guitar. Her music\, while rooted in folk traditions\, transcends conventional structures to incorporate elements of progressive rock and experimental composition. \nFollowing her acclaimed 2021 album Urban Driftwood\, Acadia represents a significant artistic expansion\, featuring three distinct sections that move from traditional folk influences to atmospheric soundscapes and experimental arrangements. Williams’ approach emphasizes sustained tones and intricate articulation\, creating music that balances technical precision with ethereal\, floating melodies. \n \nTICKET PRICES ARE INCLUSIVE OF FEES.

SUMMARY:The Robert Cray Band - All Amped Up Tour 2026
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Z2 Entertainment\n \nDoor time: 6:30\nShow time: 7:30 \nRobert Cray Premium Merchandise Package: \n-Premium Concert Ticket\n-Exclusive T-shirt\n-Autographed 8×10 Photo\n-Exclusive Guitar Keychain \n*Merchandise is shipped the week of the show date to the address provided at checkout and may arrive shortly before or after the show.

For questions related to your VIP Package order\, please email: VIP@ONELIVE.COM or call (877) 717-5816.  \n  \nBlues icon. Soul man. Rock and roller. Robert Cray is all these things – and more. The Georgia-born\, Washington-raised musician first picked up a guitar after seeing The Beatles on TV then\, having witnessed Jimi Hendrix perform in Seattle\, determined that his destiny would also follow a similar path. And so he has: across the past half century Robert Cray’s developed into one of American music’s most singular artists. \n“I guess you’d have to say that we were lucky\,” reflects Cray on his life in music\, “because\, growing up in the 1960s\, the different music played on the radio really opened us up. I mean\, we even had Albert Collins play our high School graduation party.” \nFrom forming a teenage garage band\, through to striding the stage alongside several of the world’s greatest guitarists\, Robert Cray’s story is one of struggle and commitment. Struggle and commitment that led to Cray enjoying phenomenal success – selling millions of albums and countless concert tickets\, winning five Grammy Awards\, being inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame\, recipient of the Americana Music Lifetime Achievement Award\, designing two signature model Fender guitars – yet for Robert what’s always mattered most is the music. Every note he plays counts\, every song he sings is delivered as if it is his last: integrity and intensity are what has guided Cray’s musical career. He has never cheapened his output or delivered a substandard performance. \nIndeed\, his commitment to making music of the highest standard has won Cray both a loyal audience and the respect of many of popular music’s most legendary figures. \nThink about it: Robert Cray has shared stage and/or studio with the likes of John Lee Hooker\, Muddy Waters\, B.B. King\, Buddy Guy\, Chuck Berry\, Albert Collins\, The Rolling Stones\, Eric Clapton\, Tina Turner\, Stevie Ray Vaughan\, the Memphis Horns and Hi Rhythm Section. Cray’s stinging guitar playing and soulful voice\, his skills as a band leader and performer\, mark him as keeper of the flame for American roots music\, an artist who never fails to deliver. \n“We were so lucky just be able to see them\,” says Cray of trading guitar licks on stage with legends of blues\, rock and soul\, “let alone share the stage with them – what an experience!” \nCray’s rise to the top was\, like his music\, a slow burn\, he first building a following in small towns across the Pacific Northwest. Even before Cray had a record deal he enjoyed local hero status – so much so in 1978 he was cast (as a musician) in Animal House\, the blockbuster comedy that made John Belushi famous. 1978 was also the year Cray recorded his debut album\, Who’s Been Talkin’\, although Tomato Records’ internal problems held up Talkin’s release until 1980. And then\, just as Talkin’ was winning great reviews\, Tomato collapsed into bankruptcy. Got the blues? Young Robert certainly could have claimed he had them. But Cray isn’t given to complaining\, instead he persevered\, committed then\, as he is now\, to taking his music to the people. \nAfter Tomato\, Cray and his band – today consisting of Richard Cousins (bass guitar – there since high school days)\, Dover Weinberg (keyboards) and Les Falconer (drums) – used the momentum the album gave them to play further afield. By now Cray was buddies with a young guitarist from Texas: Stevie Ray Vaughan. \n“We played in 1979 at the San Francisco Blues Festival\,” recalls Cray\, “and I watched Stevie’s show and he’s just smoking. Afterwards Richard and I went up and chatted with him and we just hit it off. Stevie was great – if we were in Austin he’d always come and join us on stage.” \nSigning to Hightone\, Cray’s 1983 album Bad Influence established him internationally: he was invited to play Carnegie Hall\, toured Europe\, later finding Eric Clapton recording Bad Influence’s title track. 1985 saw Cray’s False Accusations album increase his standing as the foremost singer of blues noir songs\, while that year’s Showdown! – a sizzling collaboration with guitarists’ Albert Collins and Johnny Copeland – won Robert huge acclaim from blues musicians and fans: the new guy’s the real deal! Signing to Mercury Records\, Cray’s 1986 album Strong Persuader ensured he became the first blues/soul musician to breakthrough in the MTV era. \nStrong Persuader won Cray rave reviews from pop and rock critics\, topped charts worldwide\, saw Cray grace the cover of Rolling Stone magazine and winning the Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues Recording in 1988. Strong Persuader\, with its songs of infidelity\, guilt and unease\, while not in any sense conventional Top 40 music\, proved so strong an album it broke through barriers\, sold millions of copies and would prove extremely influential (2026 being the 40th anniversary.) Cray’s breakthrough allowed both young and older blues and soul musicians to gain wide attention and radio play: John Lee Hooker’s career resurrection came soon after with The Healer\, and Robert plays on that seminal album. \n“It was great to be able to travel around the world\,” says Cray of Strong Persuader’s success. “It afforded us a lot of great opportunities that we were lucky to experience.” \nCray’s being modest here: suddenly he found himself the hottest guitarist working – Tina Turner invited Robert to support her huge European tour (every night\, after playing with his band\, Cray would join Tina on stage to play A Change Is Gonna Come)\, then Keith Richards called\, requesting Cray join the band backing Chuck Berry for Taylor Hackford’s celebratory feature length documentary Hail Hail Rock ‘N’ Roll. Here Cray not only got to play with the mercurial Berry (+Linda Ronstadt and Etta James\, amongst many notable artists)\, he also formed a friendship with Steve Jordan\, then drummer for the project and Richards’ solo band. \nNow internationally famous\, Cray found himself in intense demand: he toured with The Stones and played with B.B King\, Buddy Guy and Eric Clapton. Headlining in noted music festivals – these included Glastonbury in the UK and Crossroads Guitar Festival in the US – and kept developing his sound over a selection of strong albums across the 1990s. Cray’s songwriting has addressed ageing\, love\, loneliness\, domestic turmoil and US politics. \nAs an artist Robert Cray’s aged like fine wine – his voice has developed a greater range and expressiveness\, this he’s put to use on masterful interpretations of such Southern soul standards as I Forgot To Be Your Lover (William Bell)\, Your Good Thing Is About To End (Mable John) and Nobody’s Fault But Mine (Otis Redding). At the same time\, Cray’s guitar playing now possesses an additional depth\, a growl that can hint at a caress then signal emotional upheaval. \nHis recent run of albums – 2014’s In My Soul\, 2017’s Robert Cray & Hi Rhythm and 2020’s masterful That’s What I Heard (all produced by Steve Jordan: now the Stones’ drummer) – are amongst the very finest he’s made. Every song here is deeply felt\, whether an agonised song of loss\, an angry protest number\, or a dance tune that gets audiences pumping (My Baby Likes To Boogaloo is great funky fun). \nAcross five decades Robert Cray has created a richly inclusive American music\, revitalising both blues and soul while rocking hard with the very best. To achieve 50 years in the music industry and still be as fresh and committed as when starting out is an achievement few can boast of but Cray can: he has released 19 studio albums\, every one replete with his extremely distinctive songs\, won five Grammy Awards and continues to make music that sounds like no one but Robert Cray. “All these years we have been fortunate to do what we love doing\, playing the music we love playing\,” says Cray with a smile. “I couldn’t ask for anything more. \nTICKET PRICES ARE INCLUSIVE OF FEES.

SUMMARY:Rosanne Cash with John Leventhal
DESCRIPTION:Low Ticket Alert!\nPresented by Z2 Entertainment\n \nDoor time: 6:30\nShow time: 7:30 \n“One of the most ambitious and literary songwriters of her generation” (Rolling Stone)\, Rosanne Cash is America’s foremost musical woman of letters\, a literate and incisive artist whose poignant and distinctive vocals turn every song into a revelatory tale. A singular artist at the peak of her interpretive powers\, Cash has earned four Grammy awards—three for The River & The Thread (2014\, Blue Note)—and 12 additional nominations. Among many other accolades\, in 2021\, she became the first woman to receive the Edward MacDowell award for music composition. Her acclaimed 2010 memoir Composed has been described by the Chicago Tribune as “one of the best accounts of an American life you’ll likely ever read.” Cash was recently elected as an Honorary American member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. \n“I consider artists to be in the service industry; the premier service industry for the heart and soul. I am curious to a pathological degree\, and the Sword of Time hangs over me\, and those two things— curiosity and the hourglass— make me feel more urgent than ever to connect\, to find community\, and to create. It doesn’t matter what the world thinks; it only matters that what is unsaid and what is unseen is given form and has a voice.” \nIn 2023\, Rosanne and her husband\, John Leventhal\, the six-time Grammy-winning songwriter\, producer and life-long creative partner\, launched RumbleStrip Records\, an initiative to reexamine and reissue Rosanne’s early work\, originally released on Columbia / Sony Music\, and beyond. \nThe first two releases were a deluxe remastered version and first vinyl pressing of the 30th anniversary of Cash’s landmark album\, The Wheel and Leventhal’s debut solo album\, Rumble Strip (2024)\, released 50 years into his remarkable career. 2025 begins with The Essential Collection\, a new 40 song/40 year 2CD compilation highlighting Rosanne’s deep catalogue of songs\, including 10 number 1 hits. The album coincides with the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum exhibit\, Rosanne Cash: Time Is A Mirror. The exhibit explores Cash’s more than 40-year journey as an artist\, songwriter and storyteller\, and how she has embodied both tradition and innovation across her musical career. It runs through March 2026. \nCash and Leventhal are currently writing the music to the theatrical production of Norma Rae. \n \nTICKET PRICES ARE INCLUSIVE OF FEES.

SUMMARY:DakhaBrakha
DESCRIPTION:Z2 Entertainment\, 88.5 KGNU\, & Sunflower Seeds Ukraine Present\n          \nDoor time: 6:30\nShow time: 7:30 \nDakhaBrakha is a music quartet from Kyiv\, Ukraine. Their “ethno chaos” sound spans years of performances prior to Russia’s 2022 invasion\, but war is in everything now. They masterfully blend Ukrainian traditional music with influences from around the world\, resulting in an unexpected new music. \nTraditional music has seen a resurgence in Ukraine over the past decades\, after being suppressed during Soviet rule. DakhaBrakha uses Ukrainian polyphony as its foundation\, interweaving complex rhythmic and melodic structures from India\, Arabia\, Africa\, and Australia. Their music is textural\, layered sounds with distinctive percussive heartbeats\, thumping bass lines\, distorted electric guitars and influences of jazz\, spoken word\, rap and even punk. DakhaBrakha calls this tapestry of influences “ethno chaos.” And this chaos is a strength\, allowing them to draw in strands of music that connect Ukraine with the world. \nThey are troubadours\, activists and educators. Though their name means Give/Take in the old language\, DakhaBrakha is new Ukraine\, both pre-colonial and post-Soviet\, working within a global network of art and music. They aim to help audiences see Ukraine not as a monolith\, but as a cosmopolitan culture that takes in other cultures and gives in return.  \nDakhaBrakha was created in 2004 at the Kyiv Center of Contemporary Art “DAKH” by the avant-garde theatre director Vladyslav Troitskyi. Theatre work has left its mark on the band performances – their shows are always staged with a strong visual element. Projected behind them are a mix of animations from different Ukrainian artists and photos of life in today’s Ukraine. Some are celebratory\, bright and bold. Some are dark\, others curious\, a reflection of the many facets of Ukrainian culture. \nIn March 2011 DakhaBrakha was discovered by Australian Womadelaide and began their ascent in the international music scene. They have since played hundreds of concerts and performances at major international festivals including Big Ears Festival\, Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival\, WOMAD\, Roskilde Festival and on the main stage at the Glastonbury Festival. In March 2020\, DakhaBrakha won the Shevchenko National Prize for Musical Arts – the biggest award in Ukraine in the sphere of contemporary art – and confirmed its place in the culture once again. In 2023 DakhaBrakha won globalFEST’s Artist Award in the USA and became Chevaliers of the Order of Arts in France. \nThe band is currently in the process of recording their first album since 2020 in Kyiv (Ukraine)\, which combines material created before and during Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.  \n \nTICKET PRICES ARE INCLUSIVE OF FEES.

He went from accompanying Lester Flatt and Johnny Cash to launching a storied solo career highlighted by classic albums such as the Gold-certified Hillbilly Rock and Platinum-certified This One’s Gonna Hurt You\, as well as GRAMMY® Award-winning anthems\, including “The Whiskey Ain’t Workin’” [with Travis Tritt] and “Same Old Train.” Immersing himself in the world of film and television\, he notably scored All The Pretty Horses\, garnering a Golden Globe® Award nomination for “Best Original Score” and earning GRAMMY® Awards in the category of “Best Country Instrumental Performance” for “Foggy Mountain Breakdown” and “Hummingbyrd.” Recently\, 2023’s Altitude incited widespread critical applause. Of the latter\, Associated Press applauded how\, “Guitarist Kenny Vaughan\, drummer Harry Stinson and bassist Chris Scruggs match Stuart’s guitar virtuosity\, with thrilling results\,” and American Songwriter attested\, “Altitude finds Stuart is putting his own stamp on a traditional vein of country.” NPR put it best\, “For millions\, Marty Stuart is the very image of country music—splendid jackets\, musical mastery and his respect for country’s traditions and a good jolt of humor.” You’d be hard-pressed to find a corner of country music he hasn’t impacted though. Speaking to his influence\, he hosted the long-running fan favorite television series The Marty Stuart Show and notably remains a member of the Country Music Foundation and Grand Ole Opry. Moreover\, the Country Music Hall of Fame inducted him during 2020. He also curated and launched Marty Stuart’s Congress of Country Music in Philadelphia\, MS\, preserving and celebrating the genre and its history. Joined by his longtime band The Fabulous Superlatives\, he cruises into another stratosphere with his first-ever full-length double LP of original instrumentals entitled Space Junk. The cover art of Space Junk is a painting by Stuart’s longtime hero and pal\, Herb Alpert\, leader of the Tijuana Bass\, a group Stuart considers to be one of the greatest instrumental bands of all time. The inimitable interplay between Marty\, Kenny Vaughan\, Harry Stinson\, and Chris Scruggs fuels this cosmic cowboy trip with sun-kissed surf guitar\, breezy California rhythms\, soul-stirring steel\, and fluid fretwork all around. Space Junk sounds like country music’s preeminent band crash landing on a Malibu beach and performing the most epic jam you’ve ever witnessed by starlight… \n \n\nGreg Schochet & Little America\nGreg Schochet & Little America may be a newly formed band\, but one that has been a long time coming. Greg is twenty plus years into a Colorado performing career\, and his first foray into fronting a band is heavy on musical vision and loaded with accomplished players. Already renowned as a first call country and bluegrass picker\, Greg has assembled a crew to funnel that experience into a Western Swing powerhouse that harkens back to Colorado’s halcyon 70s era. With pedal steel and alto sax bringing the country and swing bona fides\, upright bass and drums keep it dancing. Sure there are Bob Wills\, Emmylou Harris and Red Knuckles nods\, but also original songs and deep cuts from unexpected sources. The band has been warmly received in its first  few seasons of touring\, with appearances at the Pagosa Folk ’n Bluegrass Festival\, Dairy Center for the Arts and the Boulder Theater.\nTICKET PRICES ARE INCLUSIVE OF FEES.

SUMMARY:SYML: Solo in North America with Nathaniel Riley
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Z2 Entertainment\n \nDoor time: 6:30\nShow time: 7:30 \nSYML\nSYML is the solo venture of Seattle artist Brian Fennell. Welsh for “simple”—he makes music that taps into the instincts that drive us to places of sanctuary\, whether that be a place or a person. \nFennell’s latest offering\, Nobody Lives Here\, marks his clearest\, crispest writing. Written\, recorded\, and produced by him and his longtime collaborator Brian Eichelberger\, it is fueled by the keen understanding that life is a contradiction\, a fleeting moment. But as we accept the presence of loss\, we can still welcome others into our space with melody\, lyrics\, a slide guitar\, or a cello’s hum. His sense of humanity is his musical compass. As an artist\, Fennell takes license to both gut and be gutted. “If the dark inspires the good\, that’s a good thing to be honest about\,” he says. \nHe released his self-titled debut album in 2019\, which includes the multi-platinum song “Where’s My Love” and the Gold Record fan favorite “Girl.” His 2023 sophomore album\, The Day My Father Died\, described by NPR as “euphoric\,” was recorded at Studio X with renowned producer Phil Ek and features collaborations with Elbow’s Guy Garvey\, Lucius\, Sara Watkins of Nickel Creek\, and Charlotte Lawrence. His music has become the soundtrack to countless films and TV shows and was used by Lana Del Rey on the song “Paris\, TX\,” from her Grammy-nominated 2023 album. \nWith over four billion streams\, the multi-platinum artist looks at grief\, loss\, mortality\, and the passing of time directly in the eye\, unwavering and harmonious. \nIn 2024\, SYML launched the imprint\, FIN. Recordings\, a collaboration with his label\, Nettwerk Music Group\, and management Good Harbor Music \n \nNathaniel Riley\nNathaniel Riley\, a folk singer/songwriter from South Dakota\, put in his time working the small family farm and recording melancholic melodies in his basement. Treading with years of grief that constructed a cloud full of songs that Nathaniel lugged to Colorado began the process of his debut full length album\, “Bird Songs” \nNathaniel’s songscapes lean on your heartstrings\, unpacking melodies like a nostalgic lucid dream. Acoustically driven\, wistful lyricism and ambient instrumentation provide the bedrock for his contemporary folktales. Compiling miles of desolation\, heartache\, introspection and memories of the forest and the prairie’s whistle that convey him to persist. Empowering his songs their role\, to be a beacon on the hill. \nThe sound and songs arrived abundantly\, easily and honestly. Nathaniel began recording his album “Bird Songs”\, with Aaron Youngberg at Swingfingers Recording Studios in Fort Collins\, Colorado in September of 2020. \nDarren Garvey came on as a producer for the record\, bringing a grass-roots perspective and an experimental\, contemporary ear. \n“I always loved pushing the boundaries of genres and wanted to create something familiar to myself in a couple different ways. One of which was to bring ambient ethereal sounds to the record that may not be commonly found on records claiming to be primarily folk\,” says Riley. \n“I love the process of recording and the almost immortal aspect it provides\,” Riley says. “You will forever hear the person’s skin on the strings\, the breath before they sing. Living proof of somebody being alive\, and it remains there\, like a little memory box of sound forever. Itself\, never changing.” \nTICKET PRICES ARE INCLUSIVE OF FEES.
