💥 Just Announced 💥 The Way Down Wanderers 💥 9.16.24 Doors 7PM / Show 8PM $12ADV / $15DOS Often referred to by fans as one of the hardest-working, hardest-touring bands on the circuit today, the 5-piece Illinois-based act not only proves that classification with their jam-packed tour schedule but also on stage every night, with youthful exuberance and a lively stage show, as reliable as it is infectious. High energy percussion, mandolin, guitar, bass, banjo and fiddle weave seamlessly together to create an experience for fans that has sold out shows across the UK and the United States, filling the front rows with fans not just singing along to one tune, but singing along to all of them. “Everybody says it. We’d be nothing without our supporters. Yeah, they buy tickets and of course we love that, but when we’ve been on the road for 10 hours and walk onto a stage road weary and we see familiar faces singing along, it’s hard to describe. It’s everything, really. There’s a whole lot of love there.” Visit the Bur Oak website [link in bio] to buy tix 🎟

✨ Just Announced ✨ Alaina Stacey + Madeleine Kelson ✨ 10.20.24 Doors 7PM / Show 8PM Seated show $12ADV / $15DOS Over the course of three EPs, Chicago-born, Nashville-based singer-songwriter Alaina Stacey sets out to musically interpret the aesthetics of DAWN, DAY, and DUSK. It is an untraditional approach for a recording project, but one that she hopes reflects the scope of life that these songs cover. “These are songs that I’ve written over the last decade,” she explains. “They don’t all make sense on the same album. Instead I like to imagine them reflecting different sonic and emotional moments in my life.” Madeleine Kelson is a Nashville based Americana artist. She pulls from a rich tradition of Folk, Country, and Americana, challenging its boundaries as a queer artist to represent the modern world. Madeleine spent her high school years in Chicago band, The Kelson Twins, playing venues including House of Blues and Thalia Hall, and landing a top Daytrotter Session with Paste Magazine. She later moved to Music City to pursue a solo career. Inspired by artists like Patty Griffin, Jason Isbell, andBrandi Carlile, her dynamic and down-to-earth storytelling and rich vocals are part of why NPR named her one 10 Nashville artists on the rise.
