Live in 2026L Blood is thicker than water, and it can leave scars. But like it or not, those in our bloodlines are stuck with us--and us with them--for better or for worse. Paul Janeway understands this conundrum of heritage well. The singer of the Birmingham, Alabama-based rock and roll soul band St. Paul & The Broken Bones was born and raised in America's Deep South, a place where social consciousness can still take a backseat to unsavory traditions and where a family's expectations sometimes supersede all else.

Mike Harmeier was still in his early 20s when he formed the band now known as Silverada. From the start, they were the definition of a workingman's country band, cutting their teeth with five-hour sets on Austin's dancehall circuit before spreading their music to the rest of America. By the early 2020s, they'd become global ambassadors of homegrown Texas music, flying their flag everywhere from Abbey Road Studios (where they recorded 2019's Cheap Silver & Solid Country Gold with help from the London Symphony Orchestra) to the Grand Ole Opry. The band's newest self-titled album, 'Silverada', marks a new chapter in the band's history. It's not just the title of the boldest release of the group's critically-acclaimed career; it's also the name of the reinvigorated band itself.

The continuum of sounds that made up A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness were recorded at home by bandleader and vocalist/songwriter Dusty Reske with help from members of the early lineup. While they sometimes melt into one another, each of the eight songs goes somewhere a little different. The bright, jangling guitars, zooming tempo, and co-ed vocals of brilliant opener "I Love You Like the Way That I Used to Do" blurs mod energy into something dreamier, practically blueprinting the next decade of indie pop in the process.

KC Turner Presents: Americana and roots singer-songwriter Jackie Greene is a jack-of-all-trades, and an artist who can croon over soulful piano ballads as much as he can shred a bluesy guitar solo (like he did as the lead guitarist for The Black Crowes in 2013). A road warrior and musician's musician, Greene's new EP 'The Modern Lives - Vol 2' (out October 2018 on Blue Rose Music) finds him at a new chapter in his life: his first months of fatherhood, time off his relentless touring circuit, and a cross-country move from Brooklyn to his birthplace of Northern California. + After decades on the road as one of rock's most in-demand sidemen touring with the likes of Susan Tedeschi, Robert Randolph and others, multi-instrumentalist Jason Crosby took time for himself. The result was his 2017 solo album.

Bitch makes witchy poet pop. She does it with violins and synthesizers. The resulting songs from her ninth studio album Bitchcraft, which came out on Kill Rock Stars February 4th, 2022, are heartbreaking, spectral, political and beautiful. Bitch is a longstanding queer music icon. For this tour, she has written a narrative play, an autobiographical "jaunt through her herstory" to take the audience on the journey of a shy and introverted child who goes on to reclaim 'Bitch' as a name and feminist act. This empowering, funny and heart-felt show is woven together with the huge violin-forward pop songs of Bitchcraft.

John Waters is back on the road with a whole new radical comedy revival show whose sermon will beg the authorities to drop a net on both himself and his rabidly insane audience.

A band from the sixties, who changed course in the seventies, never bowed to any then-current trends, avoided great commercial success, took a break for twenty years, survived it all, and have been going strong for the past twelve. Over the course of the band's extensive history, they have been described as legendary Fillmore era San Francisco band, as classic rock, power pop, punk rock, garage rock, and a few other categorizations (which are actually all correct). + Penelope Houston and the Jailbirds As a teenager, in 1977, Penelope moved from Seattle to attend the San Francisco Art Institute. Quickly her career in visual arts was side-tracked by the formation of the critically acclaimed proto-punk band, the Avengers + The Phantom Movers, the backup band that played and recorded with former founding Flamin' Groovies vocalist Roy Loney (RIP) will be performing the songs off Roy's first solo album, "Out After Dark." and will feature the original band members, plus amazing vocalist, Jason Morgan (of Harold Ray and the East Side Dynamite.)

Las Cafeteras In 2005, rooted in community & tradition, a group of students learning Son Jarocho music became known as 'Los Cafeteros,' named after the Eastside Cafe community center they helped found. They soon changed their name to Las Cafeteras to honor the feminine spirit of the group. Without intending to, they organically evolved from student-group into a performance group aimed at sharing Afro-Mexican music from Southern Veracruz, Mexico in their neighborhoods. Over the years, Las Cafeteras would develop a genre-bending sound & electric live performance infusing lyrically rich storytelling with the purpose of sharing the hidden stories of migrant life in Los Angeles. Las Cafeteras, who grew up in Los Angeles, were inspired not only from Mexican music, but from rock, reggae, hip-hop and Motown. For Las Cafeteras, it was essential to use music as a way to build bridges among the different cultures and communities that historically have had tension. Through music, Las Cafeteras were trying to help build 'a world where many worlds fit.'

JaM Cellars Presents: John Waters (Writer/Director) Born in Baltimore, MD in 1946, John Waters was drawn to movies at an early age, particularly exploitation movies with lurid ad campaigns. He subscribed to Variety at the age of twelve, absorbing the magazine's factual information and its lexicon of insider lingo. This early education would prove useful as the future director began his career giving puppet shows for children's birthday parties. As a teenager, Waters began making 8-mm underground movies influenced by the likes of Jean-Luc Godard, Walt Disney, Andy Warhol, Russ Meyer, Ingmar Bergman, and Herschell Gordon Lewis. Using Baltimore, which he fondly dubbed the "Hairdo Capitol of the World," as the setting for all his films, Waters assembled a cast of ensemble players, mostly native Baltimoreans, and friends of long standing: Divine, David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce, Mink Stole and Edith Massey.
