SUMMARY:Blackberry Smoke @ Stifel Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Blackberry Smoke is a roots-rocking blend that incorporates the influences of classic Southern rock\, ’70s/’80s heartland rockers and yes\, a dash of modern country. And whether they’re delivering a chugging good time tune like “Rock and Roll Again” or a reflective ballad like “Let Me Down Easy\,” what comes through the loudest is the band’s authenticity. These ol’ boys are the real deal\, playing it their own way with no nonsense and no rock-star moves. And since they do exactly what they feel\, don’t be surprised if that extends to covers of songs by their favorite artists such as Little Feat\, The Grateful Dead or Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. \nBlackberry Smoke has always done things their own way\, rising to stardom by building an audience from the ground up\, remaining resolutely independent and staying true to their roots. The band formed in Atlanta\, Georgia\, in 2001.  Current band members are singer/guitarist Charlie Starr\, guitarist Paul Jackson\, bassist Richard Turner\, keyboardist Brandon Still\, guitarist Benji Shanks and drummer Kent Aberle.

SUMMARY:Ghost Kitchen @ Miners Theatre
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nGhost Kitchen is a St. Louis\, Missouri-based collective dedicated to the soul-stirring improvisations and rhythmic depths of the American jam band tradition.  Formed in the spring of 2020\, the band emerged from a unique moment in time when the world went quiet\, but the music wouldn’t stop. \nNow a staple of the St. Louis music scene\, the band caters to a growing community of local “Dead Heads” and classic rock aficionados\, delivering setlists that honor the spirit of the original recordings while embracing the “anything can happen” spontaneity of live improvisation. \nWhether they are revisiting the blues-infused peaks of the Allmans or the cosmic folk of the Dead\, Ghost Kitchen remains GRaTeFUL for the journey that started in a parking lot and continues to grow across the stages of the Midwest.

SUMMARY:The Jayhawks @ Delmar Hall
DESCRIPTION:For more than forty years\, The Jayhawks have created music that embodies the enduring spirit and soul of classic American songwriting. \nThe Jayhawks emerged from Minneapolis in the post-punk era of The Replacements\, Hüsker Dü and Soul Asylum.  They pioneered today’s Americana movement through a series of classic albums that introduced rock audiences to their unique musical stew of country\, folk\, soul\, Britpop and rock ‘n’ roll. \nThe band has played most every major music festival\, from Farm Aid to Primavera Sound\, Pinkpop to Wilco’s Sky Blue Sky.  In the tradition of The Band and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers\, The Jayhawks have toured with and served as backup band for many of music’s most acclaimed visionaries\, including Ray Davies\, Roger McGuinn\, and Johnny Cash. \nToday\, Gary Louris\, Marc Perlman\, Karen Grotberg and Tim O’Reagan continue to record and tour worldwide.  Over 12 studio albums and three live albums\, The Jayhawks are still building a legacy of music that stands the test of time. \nDoors open @ 7:00pm.

SUMMARY:Victor Wooten & The Wooten Brothers @ Old Rockhouse
DESCRIPTION:Victor Lemonte Wooten (born September 11\, 1964) is an American bass player\, composer\, author\, producer\, educator\, and recipient of five Grammy Awards.  Wooten has won the “Bass Player of the Year” award from Bass Player magazine three times and is the first person to win the award more than once.  In 2011\, he was named #10 in the “Top 10 Bassists of All Time” by Rolling Stone.  In addition to a solo career and collaborations with various artists\, Wooten has been the bassist for Béla Fleck and the Flecktones since the group’s formation in 1988.  In 2008\, Wooten joined Stanley Clarke and Marcus Miller to record an album. \nThe Wooten Brothers began in R+B.  They evolved as teens into Jazz\, Jazz Fusion\, Classical and Country.  Then\, they emerged in 1985 on Arista records with an album called\, “The Wootens”\, that combined Electronic\, Funk\, Soul\, Disco\, and Boogie—and offered only a sliver of the Wooten whole.  The Wooten whole is all of that… and classical\, and jazz\, and country\, and Rock-and-Roll. \nAs a family band\, they are second to none.  But they are comparable to other notable family bands: The Beach Boys\, the Allman Brothers\, The Neville Brothers\, and the Jackson Five.  Sonically inventive\, soulful\, musically driven\, blood kin\, that fill the dance floor\, tickle the brain\, and rock your world– they are comparable to the best of the best family bands.  The Wooten Brothers are the family band you need to know that you don’t know\, or the family band you know\, and want the world to know. Connecting a musically deep past to musical future\, the Wooten Brothers explode genres and build bridges across genres.

SUMMARY:Jake's Leg @ The Pageant
DESCRIPTION:For 50 years\, Jake’s Leg has created a space where musicians and listeners can experience the magic of musical dialogue between band and audience. Their long-running residency at Twenty North became a proving ground\, as well as an example for younger acts\, showing how consistency\, authenticity\, and love for the music can build a loyal following. Through their musical interpretations\, they helped normalize genre-blending in the local scene – mixing rock\, jazz\, blues\, and psychedelic improvisation in a way that encouraged other bands to break out of rigid categories. Jake’s Leg shows are more than just concerts – they are a communal experience\, where dancing\, singing\, and connection are just as important as the setlist. \nAs Jake’s Leg steps onto The Pageant stage on November  21st to closeout their 50th year\, they are not just celebrating a milestone; they’re re-affirming a legacy. What began in 1976 has become a living thread woven through the cultural fabric of St. Louis and the wider Deadhead universe. No other tribute has carried the torch longer\, and no other band in St. Louis has sustained such an unbroken\, vibrant run. Jake’s Leg stands not only as a testament to endurance\, musicianship\, and community\, but as a permanent chapter in Grateful Dead and St. Louis history – proof that the music really never stopped. \nJAKE’S LEG is:\nRandy Furrer – guitar & vocals\nDave Casper – guitar\nJoe Trunko – bass & vocals\nRyan Wilhite – drums\nBill Murphy – keyboards & vocals

SUMMARY:Grace Potter & The Trespassers w/Pokey LaFarge @ The Pageant
DESCRIPTION:The Trespasser Tour \nWith her new album Trespasser\, Grace Potter introduces a beautifully unruly cast of characters who step into forbidden spaces with absolute abandon. As the spiritual sequel to 2023’s Mother Road\, the four-time Grammy nominee’s seventh studio LP continues the kaleidoscopic storyline drawn from bi-coasal life between Topanga Canyon\, CA and the her family farm in her native Vermont (a road-trip journey she’s made eight times in the last five years\, usually on her own). But while Mother Road was born from a desperate need for solace in the midst of emotional freefall\, Trespasser reveals an artist firmly anchored in her singular vision. The latest chapter in a career marked by endless transformation and elite recognition—including sharing stages with rock & roll icons like the Rolling Stones & Robert Plant and earning praise from legends like Bob Dylan and Bonnie Raitt—Trespasser ultimately lights the way toward a more unbound and expansive means of moving through the world. \nFor two decades\, Pokey LaFarge has walked his own effortlessly cool road as an exceptionally iconoclastic troubadour – forthright\, genuine\, and markedly keen to put it all out there. Rent Money now sees him pushing forward yet again in what can be safely declared his finest collection to date\, both as an heartfelt expression of personal experience and as no-nonsense social commentary. With its twanging guitars\, plucky rhythms\, and undeniably captivating melodies\, the album soars and swings\, its joyous refrains belying the inescapable undercurrent of constant worry and angst that permeates these troubled times.  As always\, the Illinois native deftly traverses the genre boundaries\, seamlessly integrating the myriad strains of 20th-century American music with a freewheeling command of earnest songcraft\, inspired performance\, and subversive creativity. \nDoors open @ 7:00pm.

SUMMARY:49 Winchester: Change of Plan Tour @ The Sovereign
DESCRIPTION:49 Winchester has steadily built a reputation as one of the most compelling acts in modern country music\, rising from their humble beginnings in Castlewood\, Virginia\, to selling out venues and earning a devoted international following.  Formed by childhood friends Isaac Gibson and Chase Chafin\, the band has spent years honing a sound rooted in Appalachian storytelling\, blending country\, rock\, and folk influences into something distinctly their own.  That relentless work ethic and commitment to authenticity has propelled them from front porch jam sessions to major stages around the world\, marking them as a band whose breakthrough has been hard-earned and long overdue.  Their latest album\, Change of Plans\, represents a defining moment in that journey. Recorded in just eight days with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb\, the record captures the band at a creative peak—seasoned\, self-assured\, and unafraid to push their sound further than ever before.  Balancing grit with refinement\, the album reflects both personal growth and artistic evolution\, weaving together themes of change\, maturity\, and perseverance.  From high-octane\, genre-blurring tracks to deeply introspective songwriting\, Change of Plans showcases a band stepping fully into its moment while staying true to the roots that got them there. \nDoors open @ 7:00pm.
