SUMMARY:James McMurtry w/BettySoo @ Off Broadway
DESCRIPTION:James McMurtry is the son of Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and screenwriter Larry McMurtry (Lonesome Dove\, Terms of Endearment).  McMurtry’s attention focused on music at an early age. At the age of seven\, he picked up a guitar and began listening to songwriters. A few years later\, he discovered Kris Kristofferson: “I didn’t know what he was singing about\, but I liked the way the words ran together\, so maybe that had something to do with me wanting to be a songwriter.” \nDedication to his craft and a tireless work ethic account for McMurtry’s perseverance in an industry that has made it nearly impossible for idiosyncratic artists to earn a living\, but it’s his blend of traditional style and socially potent songwriting that has kept his audience coming back decade after decade. \nHis 2025 album\, The Black Dog and the Wandering Boy\, includes guest appearances from Charlie Sexton\, Sarah Jarosz\, Pat MacDonald of Timbuk 3\, and Bonnie Whitmore of the Whitmore Sisters. The album’s artwork includes a sketch of McMurtry as a boy by novelist and counterculture icon Ken Kesey; it also featured a cover of Kris Kristofferson’s “Broken Freedom Song” in tribute to the great singer-songwriter\, who died while McMurtry was preparing the sessions. \nBettySoo’s vocal prowess is a thing of wonder.  A world-class instrument of deft phrasing and purity\, a voice that knows when to hold back and when to dive in.  At her own live shows\, taking a verse onstage with friends or singing harmonies in sessions with Austin’s finest\, BettySoo sings with consummate loveliness and self-assurance.  A voice that knows the roots of American music inside and out\, coming from a most unexpected place – a diminutive Korean American with a deceptively girl-next-door demeanor.

SUMMARY:Dogs In A Pile @ Delmar Hall
DESCRIPTION:The sandy shores of Asbury Park\, New Jersey are hallowed ground in the Northeast; the rolling waves have ushered generations of venerated musicians to worldwide acclaim. Dogs In A Pile\, an eclectic quintet\, has emerged as the heir apparent to the town’s rich musical legacy. Merging funk\, jazz\, and rock and roll with psychedelia\, the band presents a completely original vibe built on kaleidoscopic soundscapes eerily reminiscent of the days of yesteryear. \nDogs formed when Jersey Shore native and guitar gun-slinger Jimmy Law began playing with family friend Joe Babick (drums) at a young age. Lightning struck when they were introduced to Berklee School of Music student and bass player Sam Lucid\, who immediately suggested fellow Berklee student and keyboard player Jeremy Kaplan. The addition of Berklee student Brian Murray (guitar) in 2019 made for the quintessential final piece in the Dogs’ puzzle. \nA string of sold-out local shows drove the development of a massive Northeast fan base\, affectionately known as the Dog Pound. As the band has traversed new territory\, their astronomical rise has continued nationwide. Armed with an evolving catalog of material and cultivation of an identity unique to Dogs In A Pile\, the quintet is laying down a musical and communal foundation most often associated with the scene’s most beloved acts.

Even fewer bands leave a legacy during that time that marks them as a truly special\, once-in-lifetime type band. And no band has done all that and had as much fun as Leftover Salmon. Since their earliest days as a forward thinking\, progressive bluegrass band who had the guts to add drums to the mix and who was unafraid to stir in any number of highly combustible styles into their ever evolving sound\, to their role as a pioneer of the modern jamband scene\, to their current status as elder-statesmen of the scene who cast a huge influential shadow over every festival they play\, Leftover Salmon has been a crucial link in keeping alive the traditional music of the past while at the same time pushing that sound forward with their own weirdly\, unique style. \nThe band now features a lineup that has been together longer than any other in Salmon history and is one of the strongest the legendary band has ever assembled. Built around the core of founding members Drew Emmitt and Vince Herman\, the band is now powered by banjo-wiz Andy Thorn and driven by the steady rhythm section of bassist Greg Garrison\, drummer Alwyn Robinson\, and dobro player & keyboardist Jay Starling. The current lineup is continuing the long\, storied history of Salmon which found them first emerging from the progressive bluegrass world and coming of age as one the original jam bands\, before rising to become architects of what has become known as Jamgrass and helping to create a landscape where bands schooled in the traditional rules of bluegrass can break free of those bonds through nontraditional instrumentation and an innate ability to push songs in new psychedelic directions live. \nSalmon is a band who for more than thirty-five years has never stood still; they are constantly changing\, evolving\, and inspiring. If someone wanted to understand what Americana music is they could do no better than to go to a Leftover Salmon show\, where they effortlessly glide from a bluegrass number born on the front porch\, to the down-and-dirty Cajun swamps with a stop on Bourbon Street in New Orleans\, to the hallowed halls of the Ryman in Nashville\, before firing one up in the mountains of Colorado.

SUMMARY:Elijah Wald @ Music Folk
DESCRIPTION:Elijah Wald has been performing for almost fifty years in a wide variety of styles\, from blues\, folk\, ragtime\, swing\, country\, and cowboy songs to classic Swahili pop\, the Bahamian guitar style of Joseph Spence\, and Mexican corridos. He hit the road in his late teens as a rambling busker and has toured all over the United States and much of the rest of the world\, playing in coffeehouses\, bars\, nightclubs\, colleges\, concert halls\, and on festival stages from New Orleans to Chicago\, Tokyo\, Salzburg\, and Sydney. \nElijah’s mentors include Dave Van Ronk\, with whom he performed\, recorded\, and wrote Dave’s memoir\, The Mayor of MacDougal Street (which inspired the Coen Brothers’ movie Inside Llewyn Davis); Howard Armstrong\, the legendary Black string band master\, with whom he toured for five years; Eric Von Schmidt\, the founding father of the Cambridge folk/blues scene; and Jean-Bosco Mwenda\, the father of Congolese acoustic guitar. He won a 2002 Grammy (for liner notes\, which in Van Ronk’s words “is kind of like getting the Nobel Prize in fingerpainting\,” but still nice)\, filmed a highly-regarded instructional video on the guitar style of the Bahamian wizard Joseph Spence\, and his shows blend music and stories from a wide range of people and places in a compellingly personal style. \nElijah’s music and stories are deeply informed by his second career as a chronicler of American and world music. Along with the Van Ronk memoir\, he has written books on Josh White and Robert Johnson\, an exploration of Jelly Roll Morton and the censorship of early blues\, an alternative history of popular music provocatively titled How the Beatles Destroyed Rock ‘n’ Roll\, and Dylan Goes Electric! the basis of the film A Complete Unknown with Timothee Chalamet as Dylan (who picks up that “damned” electric guitar at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival and the music world was never the same!!!)\, Monica Barbaro as Baez and Edward Norton as Pete Seeger. The film received 8 Oscar nominations.

SUMMARY:Marc Broussard w/Sway Wild @ Delmar Hall
DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed singer\, songwriter\, and musician Marc Broussard is a unique performer who embodies the essence of American soul and has forged his own distinct musical style. The son of Louisiana Hall of Fame guitarist Ted Broussard of “The Boogie Kings\,” he nurtured his musical gifts at an early age in the vibrant Lafayette\, Louisiana\, music scene. \n\nIn February 2026\, Broussard released a new studio album\, S.O.S. V Songs of the ’50s\, via his Artist Tone Records. The eleven-song set features intoxicating renditions of soul\, blues\, rock\, and pop classics from the Fifties\, two gems from the early Sixties\, and a Broussard original. This vibrant collection offers a sublime showcase for Broussard’s dynamic vocal prowess\, revealing his craftsmanship and passion for an impressive range of enduring American music. S.O.S. V Songs of the ’50s is Broussard’s latest entry in his philanthropic album series benefiting the nonprofit organization\, Love of People\, based in Broussard’s hometown of Lafayette\, LA. \n\nAbout Sway Wild\n\nSan Juan Island\, WA-based indie folk-rock duo Mandy Fer and Dave McGraw are back at it with a new sound\, and a new name: Sway Wild! Their exceptional vocal harmonies\, coupled with Fer’s pioneering electric guitar work\, have become a vehicle to carry them around the world\, sharing stages with the likes of Iron & Wine\, Lake Street Dive\, and Watchhouse. \nSway Wild’s infectious sound explores the corners of rock\, pop\, funk\, worldbeat\, and folk\, but at its nucleus it is undeniably a music full of joy. It can squeeze the heart in your chest\, it can draw tears from your eyes\, and it can force you to get up and move your body; over and over\, it somehow manages to do all three at once. Mandy Fer also tours as the lead guitarist for Amos Lee and Allison Russell and has recently performed with Brandi Carlile.
