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.”
Braxton Keith
With a sound and style honed in the honky tonks of Texas and beyond, Braxton Keith is part of a new generation of country singer-songwriter – one leading a revival of its core creative tenants. Featuring an earnest love of the ‘80s country aesthetic – and all but addicted to the rush of the stage – Keith has spent the last few years of life as a proud road dog, schooling new fans of the timeless power of a revved up band and rich organic twang. But while his what-you-see-is-what-you-get approach remains firmly rooted in tradition, that doesn’t mean he’s staying put. This Warner Music Nashville newcomer lives one state line at a time. “I love the honky tonk country twang and I wouldn’t trade it for anything,” the rising star explains. “But honestly, I’m just thinking about getting up and playing another show. This is just the beginning. This is where the hard work starts.” A proud Texas native who these days splits time between San Antonio and Nashville, Keith was born in Midland, Texas, steeped in country mystique. Learning to play piano from his grandmother – a woman who loved the Cadillac cool of stars like Porter Wagoner – he grew up singing, drawn like a magnet to the sonic storytelling of gritty tunes like “The Carroll County Accident” (an all-time family favorite). Diving deep into the pure-country form, Keith picked up a guitar and soon had a taste for hard twang and tales of the heart, writing his own classically-inspired songs in a grungy, cluttered garage. He never took it seriously until college, when a friend convinced the unknown-but-obvious talent to record one – just so he’d have something to share with his future kids. Leaving school behind to earn his place in Texas’ vibrant live-music scene, Keith and a band of brothers have now been touring nonstop since 2020, racking up untold miles and hundreds of floorboard-shaking shows. Blending throwback-tonk with a sharp, barbed-wire vocal recalling stars like Tracy Lawrence (plus a little borderland buzz of San Antonio Spanish influence), Keith became a regular face in venues all across his home state, and then looked beyond. Relentless nationwide touring and a series of self-released singles and EPs have helped build a solid social media following. He arrived in Nashville for the first time in 2021, and has since been fine- tuning his natural songwriting style – timeless tunes of love, loss and life steeped in the energy and attitude of a Texan dancehall, but made for a wider audience. Featured on taste-making playlists like Spotify’s New Boots and Breakout Country, Keith’s 2024 single “Cozy” leads the way for a new chapter, highlighting the rising star’s fresh take on a classic style. A silky-smooth two-step with an unmistakable vocal tone, the clever, co-written message of warning for a romantic rival sets Keith apart from the pack. More new music is planned for 2025 release, as Keith continues exploring the contours of a uniquely country sound and style. Merging past and present with the timeless edge of a band-leading troubadour, he’ll stay on the road, too, crossing time zones like he’s gliding across a honky tonk floor. “The touring never stops – especially for an artist like me,” he admits. “I hope people have a damn good time when they come out, and I hope the show was great. And if they pick up the record, I hope they get a taste of that.”
Tyler Anthony
Nebraska-based singer-songwriter Tyler Anthony delivers a powerful blend of storytelling and melody, crafting songs that feel as lived-in as they are heartfelt. Rooted in raw emotion and real-life experience, his music bridges the gap between soulful Americana, country grit, and rock ‘n’ roll energy. Tyler’s journey as a musician is as authentic as the songs he writes. Raised throwing hay in the Midwest, he found his voice through years of performing, songwriting, and relentless dedication to the craft. His lyrics reflect the highs and lows of love, the lessons of the past, and the path toward redemption—none more personal than his song Wicked Ways, written just days before his wedding as a testament to change, commitment, and lasting love. Known for his dynamic live performances, Tyler has built a reputation for delivering shows that are as electrifying as they are intimate. Whether playing solo or backed by a full band, he brings a raw, no-frills energy to the stage, captivating audiences with his honest lyrics and powerful delivery. His music isn’t just something you listen to—it’s something you feel. With a growing fan base and a sound that stays true to his roots, Tyler Anthony is carving out his own space in the independent music world. Every song is a story, every performance a connection—and for Tyler, that’s what making music is all about.
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.
