SUMMARY:Cole Chaney
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to his latest album\, In the Shadow of the Mountain\, 25-year-old singer-songwriter Cole Chaney is pretty candid and blunt about who he is and what kind of music he wants to make — the result of which\, this stunning offering from an artist wise beyond his age. \n“There’s a yin to every yang\,” Chaney says. “I want nothing more than for people to be creatively fulfilled\, and to do what they want. But\, for me to preach that? I have to practice it.” \nThat attitude resides at the core of the record\, where the trajectory of the songs seemingly — more so purposely — shoot off in the opposite direction of many of his contemporaries in the Americana\, country and folk music scenes. In truth? Chaney is summoning his rock roots. \n“I’m not concerned with being labeled as ‘country’.“There’s not a lot of music being released right now that is doing anything for me. I made something that I would want to listen to.” \nPointing to his lifelong admiration for 1990s rock — specifically Soundgarden\, Alice in Chains and Stone Temple Pilots — as a vital influence on the sonic landscape of the album\, Chaney aimed to find a melodic balance between that raw and real rock sound and the bluegrass and folk music of his native Kentucky. \n“I wanted to make something that sounded like Ralph Stanley went in and got backed up by Soundgarden\,” Chaney jokes. “I write what I listen to. And whatever I listen to is going to come out in my music.” \nIn the Shadow of the Mountain was captured by famed producer Duane Lundy at his legendary studio in Lexington\, Kentucky. While talking at-length about the possible collaboration\, Lundy spoke of his love for Soundgarden\, Alice in Chains and Stone Temple Pilots. \n“I know plenty of bluegrass guys that could have recorded this for me\,” Chaney says. “But\, I wanted to take that string band and folk sound and bring it to a rock producer\, to bring that big sound out of these acoustic instruments — [Duane] was about to do that.” \nThe album was also co-produced by guitarist Zachary Hamilton\, a close friend of Chaney\, who is also the brother and bandmate of rising Lexington singer-songwriter Abby Hamilton. \n“[Zach] has that ability to fill a room with his guitar\, his voicings\, and all the choices he goes for down the neck of the guitar\,” Chaney says. “When Abby was opening for us\, I got to sit there and watch him play every night. I knew when I was going to do another album\, he needed to be involved in some capacity.” \nHeading into the recording sessions\, Chaney brought along his band\, which included Ella Webster (fiddle)\, Kyle Kleinman (mandolin)\, Joel Murtaugh (upright bass) and James Gooding (drums). Acclaimed Kentucky musician (and former bandmate) Aaron Bibelhauser also makes an appearance. \nWith this pivot in his tone and intent compared to his 2021 debut album\, Mercy\, Chaney sees this current path as more in-tune with what he’s not only wanted to do all along\, but has slowly shifted towards in recent years amid endless touring and performing.

SUMMARY:George Trouble & The Zealots-"Entanglement"-Release Party/Bob Dylan's 85th Birthday
DESCRIPTION:George Trouble & The Zealots are delighted to return to the Grey Eagle for a double-headed show on Sunday\, May 24th at The Grey Eagle. In addition to the release of their 6th album\, “Entanglement”\, GT & The Zealots reprise the tradition of celebrating Bob Dylan’s birth. Hurricane Helene stymied the production process of “Entanglement” as well as eliminating the possibilty of a Dylan show in 2025. In an ironic twist\, the two events have come together in a happy confluence-partially as a result of the chaos that reigned down upon the French Broad River in Fall 2024. The band includes longtime partner Aaron Price-keys\, Zack Page-bass\, and Evan Martin-drums (The Honeycutters). It’s gonna be one for the books!

DESCRIPTION:SEATED SHOW\nLIMITED NUMBER OF PREMIUM SEATING TICKETS AVAILABLE \nANDREW DUHON\nBorn\, raised\, shaped\, and inspired by his hometown of New Orleans\, Louisiana\, Andrew Duhon tours performing songs that are as much about recognizing our shared stories as they are about telling his own. \nRounding out the touring trio are two of his most trusted collaborators—Myles Weeks (James Hunter Six\, Eric Lindell) on bass and Jim Kolacek (Feufollett) on drums. \nBlending the gritty\, bluesy\, folksy\, country sounds of his home with the experience of traversing the country and immersing himself in the broad array of cultures across the American landscape\, Andrew’s music creates real connection between former strangers through song.

SUMMARY:Roots Grown Deep w/ Joel Karabo
DESCRIPTION:Roots Grown Deep presents Musical Ecology 2 LIVE! \n“They take us beyond blood and bone\, beyond memory and fear\, to a place where everything is ‘no thing’ made of a single substance.” \nThe beloved multi-cultural world music ensemble Roots Grown Deep performs music from their watershed work Musical Ecology 2 which is due for release in May 2026. \nRoots Grown Deep is a multi-cultural\, multi-continental world ensemble project guided by composer Joel Karabo Elliott. The original African Branches were founded in Southern Africa in 2012 and since 2020 the American Branches have grown together in southern Appalachia (western North Carolina). Musical Ecology 2 naturally follows upon the release of the album reSonate reFlect reLease reMember by Joel Karabo Elliott & Roots Grown Deep in April 2025\, and of Musical Ecology 1 (2024) which represents the primary repertoire and creative expression of the African Branches of Roots Grown Deep. Guided\, produced and co-composed by Joel Karabo Elliott\, these audio epics represent a journey of culmination in the expression of two continental branches of a world music family who are tending to the rites of passage — birth\, initiation and death thresholds. \nThe ensemble will include core American Branches members including:\nJahidi — tabla\, percussion\nPaloma Devi — voice\, dance\nScott Sheerin — flutes\, saxophones\nChinobay — endongo\, kora\, kalimbas\nAditi Sethi — harmonium\, voice\nJay Brown — guitars \nJoel Karabo Elliott — voice\, winds\, percussion \nMay 30\, 2026 7:30 pm We want everyone to access the healing power of music!

SUMMARY:Trousdale: Growing Pains (Deluxe) Tour
DESCRIPTION:STANDING ROOM ONLY \nTroufriends Ball VIP Experience includes:\n● One (1) GA ticket ● Invitation to the Troufriends Ball\, including: ● Meet & greet and photo opp with the band ● 2-song acoustic set ● Rehearsal for VIP in-show performance participation (from the audience) ● Exclusive VIP merch gifts ● 10% discount merch booth coupon\, redeemable at this show only ● Commemorative VIP laminate & lanyard ● Early entry into the venue ● Hassle-free merch shopping before doors open ● Limited availability \nTROUSDALE\nFor Trousdale—the trio of Quinn D’Andrea\, Georgia Greene\, and Lauren Jones—the ache of growing through change\, of facing down existential anxiety\, and matters of the heart are all intimately familiar. “We can acknowledge the strides we’ve made and be grateful\, but we’ve talked a lot about how tired we are\,” Jones says with a laugh. “We’ve been thinking a lot about the tension that comes with change\, wanting it\, fighting it\, embracing it\, but learning to thrive in that moment.” On Trousdale’s upcoming LP\, Growing Pains (due April 11th)\, the band works through those struggles to find strength\, courage\, and growth in each other. “From what was\, something new can always grow\,” D’Andrea says. \nOpening on a ripping electric guitar and bolstered by their trademark harmonies\, the title track and lead single perfectly encapsulates those feelings in the life of Trousdale. “I’m making it through the tough times when it feels like I’ve been burning out/ Trying to build up the muscle so the hustle doesn’t pull me down\,” they sing\, a limber bass line drawing each new syllable forward. The album was recorded largely live in the room and co-produced by the band and John Mark Nelson\, a songwriter who has also co-written and produced songs for Suki Waterhouse and Shaboozey\, as well as engineered tracks for the likes of Taylor Swift and Mitski. “This song was about what we feel every day in this band\,” Greene says. “Being exhausted but finding beauty together.” \nTrousdale’s debut album\, 2023’s Out of My Mind\, earned raves from the likes of the Boston Globe\, Consequence\, and Atwood Magazine for its powerful songwriting\, immaculate harmonies\, and ability to bridge gaps between country and indie pop. On Growing Pains\, the three songwriters evolved their style\, writing rough ideas on their own\, then refining and finishing them in the room together. “We’re all adding to each other’s ideas\, drawing from personal experiences and then expanding them into something more people can connect with\,” D’Andrea explains. \nverygently \nverygently is the collective spark of three established Nashville singer-songwriters—Drew Erwin\, Joey Hendricks\, and Tristan Bushman—who joined forces in early 2024 and quickly made noise with their debut EP DUMBA$$ MODE. Blending razor-sharp wit with open-hearted vulnerability\, the trio crafts harmony-driven indie rock that turns heartache into something anthemic. After touring alongside Ruston Kelly\, Augustana\, The Band Camino\, and The Fray\, they built a reputation for magnetic\, cathartic live shows fueled by airtight harmonies and undeniable chemistry.

SUMMARY:The Good\, Bad and the Ugly?
DESCRIPTION:In this 4 – week workshop\, we will be embracing the artistic process and learn to push past the “Ugly Stages” and embrace the art of creative experimentation.  \nWe will use a variety of techniques and materials: collage\, paint\, textures\, and unconventional mediums\, to turn what you may say is “ugly” into a beautiful art piece. \nThe goal of this workshop is to break through the perfectionism and enjoy the journey of creativity.
