Black Dawg

Saturday September 30th

Black Dawg's first studio album has the weight and precision of a band that has been together for many years. They traffic in driving beats and guitar riffs that give their songs staying power. There are moments on this album for toe tapping. There are soulful tunes that build and flatten and build again. There is a sad and stripped down breakup song. But it's the rhythm and the riffs that pull you through, and by the time you reach the record's lone cover song, you won't be surprised to find a Led Zeppelin tune, because Zeppelin's influence is all over this inaugural effort.

Lewis Brice with Cool Hawk Mike

Saturday October 14th

There is a grit that seems to seep from every note Lewis Brice sings.  “I've always been a big believer in just keeping my head down and just grinding until you make it,” says the vocal powerhouse that has made a career out of a sound found squarely at the intersection of country, southern rock and R&B. “What's supposed to happen is going to happen. And at this moment, it seems like everything is starting to happen."

Cognate Souls event photo

Cognate Souls

Saturday November 4th

For some reason, the ’70s reached out and snatched Cognate Souls back like Sandman’s cane at the Apollo. We don’t know if it’s the draw of musical experimentation, the rebellious sentiment of self-exploration, or the wonky lettering that captures the era so well, but that vibe largely influences our sound without losing modern relevance. Cognate Souls is a group that represents our mission, All Souls + One Root = One Sound. Cognate Soul’s music sits on a funk foundation and incorporates soul, rock, gospel, afro Cuban rhythms, and Hip Hop to create its psychedelic soul sound. The live show is like having a band as your DJ, moving seamlessly between songs to keep the show lively, fun, and interactive.

T. Hardy Morris & the Howdies

Friday November 17th

Presented by Broken Compass:

Georgia-born T. Hardy Morris (also billed as Hardy Morris) first came to fame as the guitarist and singer with the psych-influenced, defiantly Southern hard rock band Dead Confederate. After Dead Confederate's breakup, Morris made a name for himself on his own with his solo debut Audition Tapes, a low-key set of buzzy, country- and folk-inspired rock.

Morris veered into harder rocking territory on 2015's Neil Young-inspired Drownin' on a Mountaintop, while he explored darker and more personal themes on 2018's

Dude, The Obscure and 2021's The Digital Age of Rome. He's also recorded with the rollicking ad hoc group Diamond Rugs alongside members of Deer Tick, the Black Lips, and Los Lobos.
