Brit Taylor

Country Music

Music: 7:00pm/ by Donation

First Come/Limited Seating

Brit Taylor (Appalachian Mountains Country Artist) sophomore album, Kentucky Blue was produced by famed Grammy winners David Ferguson and Sturgill Simpson. Combining the edgier side of honky-tonk with the prettier side of country. Debuting No. 4 on Billboard's Bluegrass Albums and climbing to No. 18 on Americana Music's album chart — follows the success of Brit's 2021 debut album Real Me and its complement, Real Me Deluxe, which chronicled her self-reflective journey from the depths of despair to honest self-awareness. The highly acclaimed Real Me opened as the highest-ranking debut album on the AMA/CDX Radio Chart at No. 37 and garnered positive reviews from American Songwriter, Rolling Stone, NPR's World Cafe and others

The Grand Ole Opry invited her to debut, and now New Mexico gets to have her come play one of the best hidden gems out there – Silver City, NM!

The Mellows - California Indie pop, soul ,1950s melodic Rock-n-Roll featuring Colton Turner, his brother Zane on guitar, Yari Bolanos on bass and Jack Christie on drums.
Superb from start to finish. The Mellows are one of my today’s favorite bands. Turner’s songwriting skills never cease to amaze me, and the band’s arrangements are beautiful, subtle and above all, timeless. ~ The Rockabilly Chronicle

J. Graves

Dance Punk/Funk

Music: 7:00pm/ $10 in advance. $12/door

J. Graves is passionate dance-punk. Tense relationship rock, sanguine lyricism, guitar music, chord changes that sound like secret longing, a rhythm section that thuds, skitters, and melts over the determined voice of Jessa Graves. Joined by Kelly Cifton, perhaps the best bassist (and certainly the most exciting to watch), and the unassuming Aaron McDonald, who would be a watchmaker –for his distinct timing and style, were he not a drummer. Graves brings emotional lyrics and evocative vocals to their stripped down, hard-hitting songs.

Ask Carol

Alternative Indie-Rock

Music: 7:00pm/ $12 in advance $15/door

Ask Carol is an alternative indie-rock duo that has emerged from the remote Norwegian mountain community of Auma, ready to shake up the music scene. Don't let the small size of this band fool you - with two guitars, drums, synth, Carol's unique bass and guitar system, and a bit of multitasking, Ask Carol packs a punch with a sound as big as a full band. The music of this high-energy power-duo ranges from fierce and mean to soft and comforting, all with a distinct Nordic, melancholic twist.

When the pandemic hit, despite being isolated in their mountain town, with only a few neighbors and a herd of cows as an audience, Ask Carol used their solitude to craft a dark, introspective atmosphere that permeates their music and is sure to captivate listeners. Don't miss the chance to experience the unique and powerful sound of Ask Carol live!
