SUMMARY:Rock n' Roll from artist\, Sylvia Rose Novak LIVE at Canopy + the Roots
DESCRIPTION:Purchase Tickets HERE. \nSylvia Rose Novak has always come out swinging. This is as apparent on the opening track\, “Fallout”\, of her fifth studio album\, A Miss/ A Masterpiece\, as it is in the fact that she’s been releasing a full-length studio LP every two years since 2014. She’s been called prolific more than a handful of times but the Athens\, GA bassist and songwriter simply prefers to think of herself as driven.  \n Met with acclaim from publications such as American Songwriter and Billboard\, Novak’s aptly-named 2020 release BAD LUCK carefully bridged the gap between her former life as an Americana artist – a genre that she felt put into because the music industry and fans alike had issues boxing her into one space – and her foray into pure rock and roll. However\, when it comes to A Miss/ A Masterpiece\, Novak is expecting fans of her previous work to leave their preconceptions at the door and realize that the Sylvia Rose Novak they thought they knew is a Sylvia Rose Novak who never was. Novak wants to see her name in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame\, not the Country Music Hall of Fame. She closes her eyes and sees herself selling out Wembley\, not the Ryman. A Miss/ A Masterpiece is deeply reflective of the person and the artist that Novak has always known herself to be. \nIt is high time the world meets her as she was meant to be introduced: in her favorite Black Sabbath tank top\, black jeans\, and a scuffed pair of well-loved motorcycle boots.  \n A Miss/ A Masterpiece\, though recognizable in the sense that Sylvia is and always has been a poignant writer with an unshakable sense of rhyme scheme and brilliant imagery\, is far different than anything she’s ever released before. \n The drums hit hard and loud. The bass and guitars are down-tuned and heavy. And Novak’s voice\, though clearly hers\, hasn’t so much matured as it has tapped into something raw and real that’s been buried deep within her all of these years. A Miss/ A Masterpiece is also deeply personal; touching on her fears of nuclear fallout in “Fallout”\, hitting hard notes about reproductive rights in “Stress Fracture”\, offering a glimpse into bipolar depression with “Rage”\, and penning a memoir about the time she was addicted to uppers via “The Window” – a track on which she also played violin for the first time since she put down the instrument in 2019 to focus solely on bass. \n The bass was Novak’s first instrumental love. Though she’s multi-instrumental – having learned everything from Trombone to pedal steel over the last two decades\, something about the bass has called to her since she was twelve years old and first heard the introductory bars to “Sweet Child O’ Mine.” Duff McKagan’s counter-melody reached out to her as if it was an old friend\, a kindred rebel soul. From that moment\, her relationship with the instrument has only grown and is now the bedrock for the sonic rebirth that’s so evident throughout A Miss/ A Masterpiece. \nA Miss/ A Masterpiece\, as well as the follow up singles A Better Euphemism\, Still and Evermore are now streaming on all platforms.

SUMMARY:An evening with Blues-Rock 'n Roller from Nashville\, Lauren Anderson\, LIVE in the Roots
DESCRIPTION:PURCHASE TICKETS HERE. \nListen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3AoeCSG1zkka1T0WO3dPUJ \nPresave her new album: https://orcd.co/standstill \nLAUREN ANDERSON performed a livestream from Nashville for Canopy + the Roots during the shelter-in-place and joins us again for her third show and a new release\, “Stand Still”. \nLauren Anderson isn’t shy about sharing her influences. Indeed\, there have been any number of classic and contemporary artists that have left an indelible impression on the musical mantra she’s pursued over the course of her career — Bonnie Raitt\, Etta James\, Eva Cassidy\, Nina Simone\, Whitney Houston\, Beyonce\, and the Pointer Sisters\, among them. Yet\, at the same time\, Anderson isn’t bound to any particular parameters. Instead she’s managed to incorporate those influences into a pursuit of her own passion. It’s a musical journey that continues to flourish\, bringing her growing recognition as a celebrated singer and songwriter with her own contemporary credence. \nThat trajectory has accelerated rapidly over the course of the past seven years with the release of three EPs — Do & Hope\, The Game and Won’t Stay Down — and her first full-length album\, 2015’s Truly Me. In the meantime\, the accolades have kept coming. She was named the 2015 Female Vocalist of the Year by the Midwest Music Awards\, took a first-place finish in the 2018 Wing Dang Doodle Competition and watched with pride as The Game became entrenched in the Top 50 of the Billboard Blues chart five weeks in a row.  \nThe press took notice as well. Blues Blast Magazine described said of her\, “Lauren has a strong voice with touch of grit.” Rhythm & Booze noted that she has “ a fabulous powerhouse voice you can’t ignore.” Another publication noted: ”With one foot planted in the territory of her influences and the other pointed in an unexplored direction\, she straddles the border between blues\, soul\, and guitar-driven rock & roll\, finding her own sound somewhere in the middle.”  \nMeanwhile\, Anderson’s expanded her following while continuing to reap that critical acclaim. A determined dynamo of a performer adept at both blues and ballads\, she’s ready to add to those accolades with her upcoming album Love On the Rocks\, her most fully realized effort to date. Self-produced and due for independent release this summer\, it will be preceded by four singles slated to appear each month prior to the entire album’s appearance in August — “Stand Still” (April)\, “Back to Chicago” (May)\, “Holdin’ Me Down” (June)\, and “Love On the Rocks” (July). Each offering finds her expounding on the soulful\, seductive style that allows her to break down the boundaries between rock\, blues and classic R&B.  \nNot surprisingly then\, the new album fully reflects her own singular sound\, courtesy of a varied set of songs that mostly draw from her own experience. Seven of the nine tracks were written during the pandemic\, when Anderson claims she wrote a song a day for three weeks in a row. \n“Keep On\,” the first of the singles\, is a wailing and riveting gospel-sounding entry. It was accompanied by a music video that included stark images of the pandemic: https://youtu.be/dMkF04TOUSo. \nShe describes the stoic yet soulful “Stand Still” as a more Americana-sounding song\, but the message resonates as well. “It’s about what it feels like when you’re stuck and not going anywhere\,” Anderson says. “Still\, that’s okay when you’re there with someone you love.”  \nAnderson calls “Love on the Rocks\,” a co-write with Sandy Ramos and Laureen Smith\, a true collaborative effort. “I came up with the chorus\, but then I got stuck so I brought it to those two ladies and together we finished the song\,” she recalls. “Ironically\, this was the last song I chose to include on this album\, and when the band and I went into the studio\, we had yet to run through it together at that point. I wasn’t sure how it would sound with the full band\, but as soon as everyone started jamming on it\, it came alive. I chose to make it the title track\, and it quickly became one of my favorite songs on the album.” \nThe subtle yet sensual “Holdin’ Me Down” falls under the category of a break-up song. “I sent my guys an acoustic version\, and when we got together to run through it before going into the studio\, Hutch\, my bassist\, came with this badass guitar part\,” Anderson explains. “It really solidifies the soulful 90’s-sounding R&B vibe that the song seemed to call for.” \nOther highlights include “Back to Chicago\,” a performance that combines Anderson’s robust vocals and a sassy\, soulful strut with some ripping fretwork from special guest and guitar great Mike Zito. “I’m Done” and “Just F***ing Begun” are propulsive rockers that allow the energy to soar into the stratosphere. On the other hand\, the easy sway of “The Way I Want” and the resilient resolve implied by “Your Turn” help provide a decided shift in tone and tempo. \n“This album is very true to me\,” Anderson reflects. “I was trying to consciously choose songs for this album that worked well together. I definitely feel like I pulled from some of my seminal influences and was able to find them a fit on each of these tunes.” \nMore about Lauren Anderson:  \nIt’s hardly surprisingly then that music has been a vital part of Anderson’s life since early on. Born in Chicago\, her interests were nourished by a family where music played an important part. She first delved into it at the age of eight when she began taking classical piano lessons. That\, in turn\, led her to sing in a choir and eventually undertake classical voice training while still in high school. After attaining a bachelors degree in music\, she earned a Masters Degree in Music Therapy from the University of Kansas.  \nFollowing her graduation in 2012\, she became a music therapist\, working with children and at-risk youth. Yet while she relished the experience\, she began to realize that live performance was her true calling. She briefly considered becoming an opera singer\, but quickly decided that the world of popular music was more suited to her style. At first she performed solo\, but later she shared her talents with a band. Then\, after recording a pair of singles at the iconic Ocean Way Studio’s on Nashville’s famed Music Row\, she decided to make a permanent move from Kansas City to Music City in 2017. She now tours full time and continues to make music with an energy and enthusiasm that’s fully invested in the new album.  \nLove on the Rocks — At a Glance: \nAll songs written by Lauren Anderson \n“Love on the Rocks” co-written by Sandy Ramos & Laureen Smith  \nProduced by Lauren Anderson with assistance from the musicians and Taylor Lonardo \nRecorded at Taylor Lonardo Studios  \nEngineered\, mixed and mastered by Taylor Lonardo \nDrums – Matt Doctor \nBass – Hutch \nGuitar – Jimi Greene \nKeys/Organ – Kiran Gupta \nStrings – Jon and Liz Estes \nGuest Guitarist on “Back to Chicago” – Mike Zito \nIntimately connect to both artist and venue in our lush\, speakeasy-style\, 100 seat listening room. Hear the stories behind the all-original songs as the artist(s) share their inspiration and even their heartaches. \nDoors open at 7:00pm; show starts at 7:30pm; balcony seating with table service available for add-on; table seating with limited availablity on main floor.

SUMMARY:Mike Mains & the Branches Acoustic Tour LIVE at Canopy + the Roots
DESCRIPTION:Get tickets HERE. \nMike Mains & The Branches is an indie rock band based in Nashville. Since their conception in 2012\, the group has built a reputation for their fantastical instrumentation and unforgettable live performances. Mains began writing songs early in his career between shifts at a casino\, which is an apt illustration of Mains perspective on life: it’s a comedy\, a tragedy\, and a fairytale. \nIt’s that perspective that laces itself throughout the band’s catalogue\, where the songs make you dance while lyrics make you cry. And while the juxtaposition of glitter and gloom should feel confusing\, it renders itself joyfully therapeutic. And that’s their goal—particularly in their live shows—to strap you into a rollercoaster you never want to get off of. \nTheir boisterousness began when founding members Mike and Shannon fell in love\, got married\, and in doing so\, minted the focal experience of the band’s music and lyrics; not just love\, but the swirling highs and the bruising lows of choosing to live life together. After releasing an EP and two full-length albums\, they chose to partner with Tooth & Nail Records on their latest release. The record\, When We Were In Love\, is their most honest yet. Although their agenda remains the same—to combat numbness with joy\, pain\, and wings to fly—this latest pursuit is more of an honest reflection in the struggle to love. The result is an infectious and colorful album full of tragedy\, comedy\, and the freedom to forget fairytales.

SUMMARY:Indie-Folk Artist\, Zach Winters' Autumnal Tour LIVE at Canopy + the Roots
DESCRIPTION:Get tickets HERE. \nZach Winters is a naturalist—his work and life often woven together. Winters’ songs resonate with the sacred and the commonplace—companionship\, wrestling with the divine\, passing seasons\, and the pursuit of a tangible beauty. His lyrical themes share a kinship to the poetry of Frost and Tagore. Over the years\, Winters has honed his songwriting and DIY approach\, garnering praise from voices like Paste Magazine and self-producing six full-length albums as well as a handful of EPs and other projects. \nWinters moved his family to southern Mexico for a year for his kids to learn Spanish and to finish his latest 13-track LP\, Love is a Garden. The album features Winters most striking collection of songs to date\, while staying true to his homemade yet luxuriant variety of indie-folk. It features everything from generous string arrangements to groovy bass lines to warm horn sections\, and most notably\, Winters’ yearning\, gentle\, and sometimes playful vocal layering.  \nIn the last few years\, Winters has been on tour throughout the US\, Europe\, Canada\, Australia\, New Zealand & Mexico\, musically migrating with his family and playing shows with musical friends in homes and concert halls. He has had the honor to sing for Syrian refugees\, laboring mothers\, orphans in Mexico\, monks in Poland\, pubs in Northern Ireland\, and his friends\, neighbors and family. \nBorn on the Great Plains\, Zach and his family have returned from southern Mexico. After cancelling all plans along with the rest of the world in 2020\, Zach set to work on a new group of songs that will be released in batches through 2021. Another Winters Migration Tour will see them circling the US (dates here)\, with more dates forthcoming. \n

SUMMARY:Adam Klein with guitarist\, Bret Hartley :: Multi-Cultural Americana
DESCRIPTION:Purchase tickets HERE. \nAn Atlanta-via-Athens\, Georgia-based singer/songwriter and troubadour\, Adam Klein’s music touches on Americana\, rustic country folk\, folk-rock\, and West African Mande music. He performs in a variety of settings– either solo/duo\, with his band\, Adam Klein & The Wild Fires\, or occasionally with his American roots-meets-West-African-roots project under his Peace Corps name in Mali\, Lassine Kouyate. \n“I killed a stray cat that had been hanging around my yard for a few days\,” Klein says. “It was an accident. I had a hybrid car that was practically silent when it drove. One morning I pulled out of the driveway\, and my wife found it dead on the ground. We figure it had crawled under the car\, didn’t hear the engine turn on\, and I ran over it. I felt pretty bad about it.” \nThe ensuing song Klein wrote about the incident and his likely role in the cat’s death\, is the title track to his new 3-song EP\, Little Tiger\, a collection of outtakes to be released on January 22\, 2021\, from the recording sessions for his 2019 album\, Low Flyin’ Planes. \nFor Low Flyin’ Planes\, Klein teamed up with his longtime producer and engineer Bronson Tew at Dial Back Sound in Water Valley\, Mississippi\, for their third straight record together (following 2013’s Sky Blue DeVille and 2015’s Archer’s Arrow). It’s a strong partnership that continues to bear fruit. Says Klein\, “He’s a close friend and a genius engineer and producer whose role in shaping the sounds and textures of these records and bringing my songs to life can’t be overstated.’You set them up; I’ll knock them down\, he’s said about our musical partnership. And it’s true- these albums are just as much his handiwork as they are mine.” \nKlein considers Low Flyin’ Planes to be the sonic follow-up to Sky Blue DeVille\, and to that end\, the record features sometimes Wild Fires guitarist Crash Cason and former Wild Fire Tew on drums\, guitar\, and harmony vocals. The sound is capably filled out with Matt Patton (Drive-By Truckers) and Stuart Cole (ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers) on bass\, Eric Carlton (Jimbo Mathus) on keys\, Kell Kellum (Young Valley) on pedal steel and guitars\, Will McCarley (Fat Possum Records) on drums\, Hank West (Squirrel Nut Zippers) on sax and trumpet\, Schaefer Llana and Anne Freeman on harmony vocals\, and other ace players from the Oxford\, MS\, scene. The result is a strong\, sincere collection of folk-rock songs featuring Klein’s signature warm vocals colored by a lush\, textured sound. The songs on Little Tiger were recorded at Dial Back Sound\, and produced\, mixed\, and mastered by Tew at Sleepers Mountain in Portland\, Oregon. \nBoth “Little Tiger” and “Take It (On Faith)” were recorded during the LFP sessions. The band stretches out on the latter\, this collection’s closing number\, an energetic song with sweeping harmony vocals which straddles the line of serious and playful as Klein details hopeful and alarming visions alike of a possible individual and collective future. Written in 2015\, the song seems to portend the current state of national affairs (“I take it that all this hatred / I take it that all this strife / is gonna get worked out one day / on a field with guns and knives / I take it on faith”)\, while noting the cyclical nature of things — that which has been will once again come to pass (“I take it that it’s all been said and done and done and said before / writ upon the rocks and sand and the ice and dirt and the ocean floor / I take it on faith”). Ultimately\, as is usually the case in Klein’s songs\, the listener is left with a feeling of hope\, as he declares: “I take it that goodness and graciousness are gonna have the final say.” \n“It’s just a straightforward three-chord song\,” says Klein\, “and you sure can have a good time with that. That may have been the first song we recorded\, and I’m pretty sure it was the first take. Great\, raw energy. We played it one more time\, but quickly realized we caught it right out of the gate.” \n“Little Tiger”\, although shelved from the original album\, stood out as the favorite track among many of the players on the session\, and was rounded out by mellotron compliments of Jay Gonzalez (Drive-By Truckers). “I’ve always sequenced my albums\, but this time Bronson recommended we let Patton do it for LFP\,” says Klein. “That’s one of his favorite parts of the album creation process\, and I definitely trust his instincts and thought it’d be neat to see what he came up with. He drove around with it in his car for a few weeks and sent in a track order that he couldn’t see going any other way. It didn’t include “Little Tiger” or “Take It (On Faith)”\, but I think it was a fitting sequence and the 10-song album was already a 45-minute or so listen.” \nThe EP kicks off with “Halfway to Heaven”\, a song intended for inclusion on LFP but which wasn’t recorded during the album sessions. “It was always a key song for me from the collection\, and a companion piece to the title track\,” Klein offers. “I thought we’d just put it on the opposite side of the record from the song “Low Flyin’ Planes”\, but given its similarities in terms of the tuning\, the sound\, and even the progression\, we decided to no even record it at the time and kick it down the road a bit.” \nRecorded on a subsequent visit to Dial Back Sound and to the Mississippi Delta\, “Halfway to Heaven” features Klein on acoustic guitar and vocals\, Tew on acoustic and electric guitars\, bass\, drums\, and harmony vocals\, and Gonzalez on Wurlitzer. The song directly expresses the main themes and questions of Low Flyin’ Planes. “I had been playing music\, traveling a lot\, and was generally trying to find my footing\,” Klein recalls. “I hit the point where I faced a fundamental question— do I keep pursuing music\, solely\, risking the end of a long-term relationship\, perhaps failing to develop myself more broadly\, and likely remaining financially unstable\, or do I settle in a bit too domestic life\, strengthen my relationship with my then-girlfriend (now wife)\, and keep tinkering away at creative works in music and other areas? I chose what felt like a more stable footing. We now have a young daughter and it’s been fulfilling in a lot of ways. I may not be as hungry and endlessly hustling\, but the creative well is far from dry\, and I expect to always be plugging away at songwriting\, other writings\, performing\, and acting.” \nIt feels a bit strange\, Klein notes\, to release these songs amidst the tumult and political backdrop of this period of time\, but the downtime of quarantine and the pandemic seemed like the right time to clear the deck of this material and close out the Low Flyin’ Planes cycle. “I worried momentarily that it’s somewhat tone-deaf to release songs right now that make no reference to racial inequities\, the increasing division in our country\, the suffering amidst coronavirus\, and the great reckoning of 2020\,” he says. “But people need music and art now. We all need something to move us\, uplift us\, and to commune with the ineffable power of music and song.” \nAnd as far as material more suited to the times\, Klein’s been busy at work. “I’ve written a lot since the killing of George Floyd and recorded an album this past summer grappling with this moment of American history\, our past\, and our iniquities. The songs are in production as we speak\, and will hopefully get out there as soon as possible.” \nIn the meantime\, though\, Klein offers this Little Tiger EP\, which has the signature\, evocative production of his records made with Tew\, the talents of all the excellent players who graced the songs\, and a heartfelt journey through an empathetic life seeking stories\, fulfillment\, aliveness\, and awe\, accompanied by a soundtrack of folk-rock n’ roll. \nKlein’s music has garnered praise from Paste\, No Depression\, Georgia Music\, Sing Out!\, Flagpole\, Stomp & Stammer\, Maverick\, and Connect Savannah Magazines\, as well as on numerous Americana blogs worldwide (Americana UK\, Roots Highway\, CtrlAltCountry\, etc.). His second and third releases\, Wounded Electric Youth and Western Tales & Trails\, debuted on the Euro Americana charts at #5 and #4\, respectively. Klein has performed throughout the U.S.\, toured in the UK\, Ireland\, and The Netherlands\, and been a showcasing artist at Folk Alliance. He has shared the stage with a diverse range of acts including Josh Ritter\, Kevin Kinney\, James McMurtry\, Okkervil River\, Abigail Washburn & the Sparrow Quartet featuring Bela Fleck\, Shawn Mullins\, Jim Lauderdale\, Robert Ellis\, Steep Canyon Rangers\, Shovels & Rope\, and more. \nKlein’s records have featured a who’s-who of talented musicians from Athens and beyond\, including producer\, engineer\, drummer\, and vocalist Bronson Tew\, Randall Bramblett\, pedal steel maestro John Neff\, David Blackmon (Widespread Panic\, Jerry Reed)\, Lera Lynn\, and Carlton Owens (Cracker). \nIn 2012 Klein released his first ‘world music’ record\, the original Malian Mande collection Dugu Wolo. An associated making-of-the-record documentary film is in the works. Klein is the founder of upstart independent label Cowboy Angel Music and co-founder of the Athens Americana Music Festival in Athens\, Georgia\, held annually from 2007- 2012. He currently hosts the quarterly African Sky Podcast\, discussing issues of Malian history\, culture\, and development with a variety of guests. \nAlso\, a represented Atlanta-based actor\, Klein’s roles have included Amazon’s “Z: The Beginning of Everything” as well as various commercials and indie film projects. He can be seen performing his unreleased song\, “Goin’ Down to Peachtree”\, in the award-winning independent film Born River Bye.

SUMMARY:Cicada Rhythm\, folk-pop and ramshackle rock\, LIVE at Canopy and the Roots
DESCRIPTION:Purchase tickets HERE. \nWhen Cicada Rhythm hit the road in support of their 2015 debut\, they were a homespun\, stripped-down folk duo\, armed with songs that mixed acoustic instruments and soft dynamics with the intimate charm of two harmonized voices. \nThree years later\, bandmates Andrea DeMarcus and Dave Kirslis have upsized their sound considerably with Everywhere I Go. Recorded in a string of studios across the southeast\, it’s a snapshot of a band on the move\, with new members filling their lineup and a louder set of influences propelling their sound forward. There are roots-rock tunes\, slow waltzes\, politically-minded lyrics\, front-porch folksongs and backwoods ballads\, all delivered by a group of road warriors who’ve cut their teeth not only in the writing room\, but onstage\, too. \n“In the beginning\, we were two singer/songwriters making a living on $50 per show\,” says DeMarcus\, a Juilliard-trained bassist who met Kirslis — her bandmate and future husband — when he hopped off a freight train and landed in her Georgia hometown. The two quickly whipped up a musical chemistry rooted in the steady pluck of DeMarcus’ upright bass\, the rootsy punch of Kirslis’ guitar\, and the raw blend of their voices. As romance blossomed between the musicians\, so did a career. “We had to keep it a duo\,” DeMarcus remembers of their early days on the road\, “because we couldn’t afford to bring along anybody else. When we released our debut record\, we started touring with a drummer\, and the sound just evolved from there. We realized we needed to demand attention\, rather than waiting for people at the shows to shut up.” \nPeople did pay attention\, taking notice of Cicada Rhythm’s ability to merge both traditional and contemporary Americana sounds along with topical lyrics\, which often touched upon modern issues like environmentalism. Among the band’s biggest fans were members of two A-list Americana bands: Kenneth Pattengale\, best known as the spellbinding guitarist and harmony vocalist of the Milk Carton Kids\, and Oliver Wood\, lead singer and guitarist for the Wood Brothers. When it came time to record Cicada Rhythm’s newest batch of songs in 2017\, Pattengale and Wood shared production duties\, giving Everywhere I Go a broad\, diverse punch.  \nA sense of forward momentum sweeps its way throughout Everywhere I Go\, whose very title conjures up the image of a band in transit. Kicking off with “America’s Open Roads” and winding to a finish with the Bob Dylan-worthy “Back Home\,” it’s an album written during a time of travel\, of growth\, of being together. Like interstate poets\, DeMarcus and Kirslis write about the country unfolding outside their car window at highway speed\, spinning stories not only about the places they visit\, but personal and social struggles\, as well. \nAn Appalachian-sounding anthem for the female empowerment movement\, “Do I Deserve It Yet” takes a look at the modern woman’s struggle in a man’s world as DeMarcus wails in the chorus\, “Won’t you tell me when I am enough? ‘Cause I can never tell.” “America’s Open Roads” resonates similarly in today’s climate of division and controversial leaders\, with the emotionally hard-hitting opening line\, “Every day starts with a terrible dream.” Although written outside of political context\, these songs took on new meanings once Cicada Rhythm began integrating them into their shows. \n“We were touring up the East Coast one week after the election\, and the nation was visibly shook up\,” says Kirslis\, who shares vocal duties throughout the record. “Suddenly\, a lot of Andrea’s lyrics seemed to have double meanings. The song is about keeping roads open\, rather than build walls over them. As we began playing more and more new songs\, they began paralleling some things that were going on in the outside world.” \nFans of Cicada Rhythm’s debut will remember the socially-conscious “Do Not Destroy\,” an eco-friendly song that urged its listener to take care of the natural world. Much of Everywhere I Go follows in that song’s footsteps\, forming a bridge between the two records. \n“We’re changing\, but we haven’t lost our sincerity\,” DeMarcus adds. “A lot of the songs are still political. They’re emotional. They’re raw\, which has always been an important part of our sound. We haven’t lost our identity; we’ve just grown around it.” \nProducers Pattengale and Wood assisted in that growth by beefing up the band’s sound with strings\, Hammond organ\, electric guitar\, and pedal steel. Working with the producers separately allowed Cicada Rhythm to revisit and revise a number of songs that had already become live staples. “You can’t underestimate the power of a fresh set of ears\,” DeMarcus says. “It’s helpful to know what someone else thinks your song can be\, particularly someone who hasn’t heard the song nightly for the past two months. A lot of the time\, collaboration is the reason something becomes better.” \nEmbracing Everywhere I Go as “a patchwork album\,” Cicada Rhythm tracked its 12 songs in recording studios\, living rooms\, and gospel churches throughout Tennessee and Georgia. Some songs were performed live in the studio and captured on analog tape\, while album highlights like “Even in the Shallows” were tracked more methodically. String sections were added — a nod to DeMarcus’ fondness for the Beatles\, whose own songs often made room for symphonic arrangements — without taking away from the band’s rustic charm. Together\, the album’s track list blends orchestral folk-pop and ramshackle roots-rock in equal numbers\, giving Cicada Rhythm more fuel for their music-filled travels. \n“We named the album after a line in ‘America’s Open Roads\,’ but hopefully\, this album will be our ticket to everywhere we go\,” explains DeMarcus. “Wherever we are\, these songs will be with us.”

SUMMARY:Nina Ricci & Canon Tyler\, folk-Americana sgr-songwriters LIVE in the Roots
DESCRIPTION:PURCHASE TICKETS HERE. \nNina Ricci\, one of the new guard of the American folk revival\, heralds songs of the 1960s folk movement and writes a new chapter with her own songwriter’s voice. Nina’s artfully crafted songs stand for themselves as lovable woven narratives sung with a confident air and savvy lyricism. Her onstage mien is both endearing and charismatic and she is personable on and off stage. \nNina’s journey in music is ever-unfolding. Her talent has made room for her among music artists such as Carolyn Hester\, John McEuen (The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band\,) and John Paul White (The Civil Wars.) She continues to surprise her peers and audiences through her unique gift of music with songs such as\, “Bird on a String\,” “All the Crown Jewels” (unreleased\,) and\, most recently\, “My Head Is Full of You” (unreleased.) Her voice is often compared with Dolly Parton\, Joan Baez\, and Emmylou Harris\, but it is clear that Nina’s timbre is of singular quality all her own. Her particular brand of finger style playing bears an essence of the folk music she adores\, and her ability for songwriting\, she says\, is “a gift that was given innately and not acquired by effort.” \nNina is a graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston\, Massachusetts and a native of Nashville\, Tennessee. She has released 2 CDs\, an all-original debut album called ‘Designs On Me’ (2018) and a tribute to her favorite folksinger\, ‘Fare Thee Well: A Joan Baez Tribute’ (2020.) \nAs for her attitude toward performing\, Nina says\, “the audience is as much apart of the performance as she is\,” a mindset she has learned is true over several years of contemplating the teachings of her former professor\, Livingston Taylor (music artist\, and brother of James Taylor\,) who said of her: \n“Nina carries onstage a level of magnetic charisma that I’ve rarely seen equaled in my twenty-five years of teaching. Nina’s focus and discipline make her impossible to ignore……liv taylor” \nOver the last 3 years Nina has spent considerable time on the road performing at various folk festivals\, theme parks\, and music venues. In 2021\, she performed for 3 months at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge\, TN\, and she is kicking off 2022 with a stint at Silver Dollar City in Branson\, MO.  \nCanon Tyler is a home grown singer-songwriter from the hills of north Georgia. His songs tell stories of pride\, hope\, hard times and tough breaks as they pertain to life at the fringes of Appalachia. With sonic elements of Bluegrass and contemporary acoustic music\, Tyler’s lyrics blend the storytelling aspects of traditional American folk and the Laurel Canyon era of singer-songwriters. Together these elements create a sound that is both fresh and familiar to fans of roots music. \nWith his first full-length album\, “Hangin’ On”\, Tyler looked to capture the core of each song and employed a stripped back approach to recording. The result is a minimalistic production featuring Canon\, his guitar\, a fiddle and vocal harmonies from long-time live performing partner Emilee Bradford. With no added frills or distractions\, “Hangin’ On” serves up the very heart of each song with a sound as rustic as the Appalachian mountains  from which they came. \nConnect authentically to the artists by hearing them in our “speakeasy”-styled intimate listening room\, the Roots\, located underground beneath the Canopy social house. Hear the stories behind the songs as the artist(s) share their inspiration and even their heartaches. Doors open at 7:00pm; show starts at 7:30pm; VIP lounge with couches\, booths\, and tables are available. Reserve by emailing events@canopyandtheroots.com . Locally-sourced craft beer and wine available for purchase.
