SUMMARY:Suzy Bogguss
DESCRIPTION:“a voice as soothing as summer rain” – Rolling Stone\n  \nDuring the creative explosion that was country music in the 1990s Suzy Bogguss sold 4 million records. Here\, she did this with sparkling radio hits like “Outbound Plane”\, “Someday Soon”\, “Letting Go”\, “Drive South”\, and “Hey Cinderella”. But you can’t peg Suzy that easily…  \nAmid her country popularity she took time off to make a duets album with the legendary Chet Atkins. Then\, in 2003 she made an album of modern swing music with Ray Benson of Asleep At The Wheel. Furthermore\, she recorded an album of original music in 2007 that landed at Number Four on the jazz charts. Her folk music roots show through in many ways: she made frequent appearances on public radio’s A Prairie Home Companion. Also\, she won a Grammy for her work on Beautiful Dreamer: The Songs of Stephen Foster. She received acclaim for 2011’s American Folk Songbook\, her critically acclaimed album and book project. Then\, in 2014 she released Lucky\, a collection of songs written by Merle Haggard and interpreted through Suzy’s crystal vocals from the female point of view.  \nHer latest offering\, 2023’s Prayin’ For Sunshine\, is an Americana tour de force with all songs written by Bogguss. She continues to tour the world. There\, she tours solo and with fellow country radio divas Terri Clark and Pam Tillis as “Chicks With Hits”. Also\, she recently joined Kathy Mattea on their Together At Last tour. So yes\, you can call her a country singer if you want\, but really that’s just the beginning. \nRecommended for fans of Allison Moorer\, Patty Loveless\, Alison Krauss and Mary Chapin Carpenter.

SUMMARY:Robert Earl Keen:
DESCRIPTION:“Texas country legend… tenacious twang” – Folk Alley\n  \nNo two creative lives unfold the same way. For Robert Earl Keen\, the story was never going to end with a quiet retreat. There\, he’s spent decades on the road\, released twenty-one albums\, and played countless shows. Legends like George Strait and The Highwaymen have sung his songs. Also\, he’s garnered honors ranging from the BMI Troubadour Award to the Texas A&M Distinguished Alumni Award. Thus\, he might have had every reason to slow down. However\, Keen has always seen the open road as a beginning\, never an end. \nRather than closing the book\, Keen has turned the page to something vivid\, unpredictable\, and wide open. Here\, this new chapter is not so much about winding down as it is about doubling down. And if the last year is any indication\, he is just getting started. \nKeen’s calendar is fuller than ever\, and the stages are getting bigger. Recently\, he made his Grand Ole Opry debut and joined Tyler Childers for a sold-out performance at the Hollywood Bowl. Then\, he helped his longtime friends Turnpike Troubadours bring the house down at Red Rocks Amphitheater. He continues to headline iconic venues across the country.  \nNow\, Keen and his band are sharper\, and more alive than ever\, playing not to prove anything\, but to celebrate everything. And every night\, as the lights go up and the chorus swells\, one truth becomes unmistakably clear. Here\, the road goes on forever\, the party never ends\, and Robert Earl Keen is still at the center of it all\, guitar in hand\, moving forward with grace\, grit\, and boundless imagination. \nRecommended for fans of Tyler Childers\, Rosanne Cash\, Rodney Crowell and Joe Ely. \n \n \n

Standout tracks include “Think of Me\,” written to her children as a reflection on young motherhood\, healing\, and forgiveness. Also\, “Got Love\,” an uplifting anthem inspired by a close friend’s recovery journey. Anchored by up-tempo grooves\, rich harmonies\, and Parker’s unmistakably soulful voice\, Life Lines invites listeners to move\, reflect\, and feel deeply. \nRecommended for fans of Morgan James\, Shemekia Copeland\, Janiva Magness and Ruthie Foster.

He has written hits for Alabama\, Jimmy Buffett\, Kenny Chesney\, and Sawyer Brown\, and has studio credits that include albums by Toby Keith\, Linda Ronstadt\, George Strait and Dolly Parton among many others. \nMcAnally notes that he typically sees three kinds of people at his shows. Those who have followed his career since his 1977 debut album. Those who recognize him as the guitarist in Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band. And those who remember his notable credits in country music. The latter category is particularly impressive\, with songs cut by Alabama (“Old Flame”)\, Kenny Chesney (“Back Where I Come From”)\, Sawyer Brown (“All These Years”)\, Shenandoah (“Two Dozen Roses”) and many others. \nMcAnally became a journeyman storyteller and musician. Also\, he was an occasional\, then full-time Coral Reefer\, and duet partner on Nanci Griffith’s seminal “Gulf Coast Highway.” He can talk about recording the Preservation Hall Jazz Band in New Orleans and Jimmy Buffett’s vocals in Key West. Then\, he marvels about Kenny Chesney driving to Canada and back to see a girl listening to Mac’s Simple Life the entire way. He talks about\, “ridiculous things. I’ve gotten to open shows for Willie Nelson\, play with Ray Charles and talk music with Sir Paul McCartney. I don’t mean to name drop\, but I love all those people and their music.” \nRecommended for fans of Jimmy Buffett\, Kenny Chesney\, Alabama and Dolly Parton.

SUMMARY:Pure Prairie League
DESCRIPTION:“soaring harmonies\, lilting love songs\, and rollicking Southern rockers” – No Depression\n  \nPure Prairie League continues to embellish its rich fifty-plus year history of one of country-rock’s pioneering forces. There\, they began in mid-Sixties Ohio as a group of friends playing cover tunes. Now\, the present-day unit features the propulsive team of drummer Scott Thompson and bassist Jared Camic. Additionally\, keyboard master Randy Harper\, guitar ace/vocalist Jeff Zona and pedal steel/saxophonist John Heinrich. Here\, as one reviewer recently wrote: “PPL’s sound combines sweet memories with edgy\, contemporary muscle. Their vocals are as strong as Kentucky moonshine and the musicianship and performance skills are as sharp as a straight razor”. \nPPL’s eponymous first album has been hailed as a major early influence in the emerging popularity of country-rock music. Then\, their second effort\, the multi-platinum Bustin’ Out featured the Craig Fuller-penned classic “Amie”\, along with other gems of the genre. Also\, over several albums and countless shows\, a legacy has been forged and enriched. The band has enjoyed contributions from several noteworthy members\, including original co-founder George Ed Powell\, and Cincinnati’s legendary Goshorn Brothers. Also\, Country Hall of Famers Gary Burr and Vince Gill\, award-winning writer Jeff Wilson (three Top twenty singles)\, top Nashville session vocalist Curtis Wright and others. Furthermore\, they have featured guest appearances from Chet Atkins\, Johnny Gimble\, Emmylou Harris\, David Sanborn\, Don Felder (Eagles)\, and more. \nMoreover\, the new generation: Keith Urban\, Nickel Creek\, Wilco\, Counting Crows and more cite PPL as a major influence. \nNow\, with the release of 2024’s Back On Track\, PPL brings it all back home with a dozen new songs. Here\, they complete the circle begun in 1970 and continues to this day. \nRecommended for fans of Poco\, The Doobie Brothers\, The Eagles and The Flying Burrito Brothers.

SUMMARY:Judy Collins: Sweet Judy Blue Eyes - Farewell
DESCRIPTION:“One of the most beautiful and moving voices” – Rolling Stone\n  \nJudy Collins inspires audiences with her sublime vocals\, boldly vulnerable songwriting\, personal life triumphs\, and unwavering commitment to social activism. In the 1960s\, she evoked both the idealism and steely determination of a generation united against social and environmental injustices. Five decades later\, her luminescent presence shines brightly. Here\, new generations bask in the glow of her iconic fifty-five-album body of work. Also\, they draw inspiration from her spiritual discipline to thrive in the music industry for half a century. \nFans and critics highly esteem the award-winning singer-songwriter for her imaginative interpretations of traditional and contemporary folk standards. Moreover\, she also receives acclaim for her own poetically poignant original compositions. For instance\, the Grammy Hall of Fame includes her stunning rendition of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now”. Judy’s dreamy\, intimate version of Stephen Sondheim’s “Send in the Clowns\,” won Song of the Year at the 1975 Grammys. Furthermore\, she’s garnered several top-ten hits and gold- and platinum-selling albums. \nThe cultural treasure’s fifty-fifth release\, 2022’s Spellbound\, documents Judy’s artistic renaissance. Additionally\, the album is a special entry in her oeuvre. It marks the first time ever she wrote all the songs on one of her albums. Here\, Collins showcases twelve new recently-written modern folk songs\, and a bonus track of her evergreen\, “The Blizzard.” Thus\, Spellbound is an introspective and impressionistic album. \n“They say after the plague came the Renaissance\,” Judy says with a good-natured laugh. “The truth is\, I didn’t do an album like this sooner because I had other projects on my mind. Now felt like the perfect time to make this record because\, after all that’s happened in the world\, we need something beautiful and inspirational to lift us up.” \nRecommended for fans of Joan Baez\, Joni Mitchell\, Nanci Griffith and Mary Chapin Carpenter.

SUMMARY:Billy Prine Presents: Songs & Stories of John Prine
DESCRIPTION:“Billy sings and shines from the inside out. Unlike many things in this world\, he keeps getting better” –American Songwriter\n  \n\nTelling stories and playing his brother’s music in a uniquely personal and entertaining tribute. \nBilly Prine is a natural-born storyteller just like his late\, great brother John Prine was a natural-born songwriter. John was a great communicator of the human experience whittled down to the best words. His big\, little brother\, owner of a rich\, booming voice yet full of subtleness\, is one of the finest orators you’ll ever hear – also choosing just the right turn of phrase. \nDuring these concerts celebrating John’s life in song\, Billy will tell stories about or surrounding some of John’s most beloved songs. Then\, he will lead his band through his version of John’s timeless masterpieces. As an example\, fans will get to hear the first time John played his classic song “Paradise” for their father as the family sits around the kitchen table. \nSongs are stories\, novellas if you will\, and stories often become songs. Thus\, it is only fitting that Billy relates the stories that surround the songs of his dear brother John. Each show becomes a vivid\, intimate look into John’s life through the eyes of Billy.  \nBilly Prine formed and led his first bar band in Chicago at the tender age of twelve. Growing up in such a rich musical city allowed Billy to develop his unique style of American roots music. Billy absorbed a myriad of influences firsthand by seeing Buck Owens\, The Rolling Stones\, and Chicago’s innumerable blues legends. These included Howlin’ Wolf\, Paul Butterfield\, Muddy Waters\, and Michael Bloomfield. \nRecommended for fans of John Prine\, John Hiatt\, Drive-By Truckers and Doc Watson.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Lucinda Williams & Her Band: World's Gone Wrong Tour
DESCRIPTION:Acoustic Shows with Lucinda Williams & Her Band:\nBlues\, Ballads & More: A Quiet Night with Lucinda Williams & Her Band\nNOV 16 • 7:00pm Performance \nBlues\, Ballads & More: A Quiet Night with Lucinda Williams & Her Band\nNOV 17 • 7:00pm Performance \n\n“perfect… clearly in a league of her own” – Chicago Reader\n  \n“My dad\, as a poet\, always told me to never censor myself – that’s one of his cardinal rules of creative writing\,” says multiple-Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams. “That became my motto which I’ve stuck by all these years.” Miller Williams’ advice clearly is borne out on Lucinda’s powerful eighteenth studio album\, 2026’s provocative World’s Gone Wrong. “I felt a sense of urgency in making this record\,” she adds. \nFilled with gut-wrenching topical songs\, the album’s ten tracks were written and recorded in a blast of collaborative creativity. There\, Lucinda and her co-writers ­– primarily husband/manager/co-producer Tom Overby and guitarist Doug Pettibone – grappled with the events of spring 2025. Moreover\, a whole other album had been in the works. However\, the “urgency” to address our current cataclysmic situation motivated Lucinda and company to cut World’s Gone Wrong in direct response. “Music is a powerful weapon\,” she points out. “I want this record to make people aware\, wake them up. I like to push people’s buttons.” \nAnd that’s what Lucinda fans have come to depend on over the past forty-five years. Her back catalog boasts remarkable albums\, including 1998’s game-changing Car Wheels on a Gravel Road. Additionally\, she’s earned three Grammy awards and countless accolades\, including Time Magazine naming her America’s Best Songwriter in 2001. Here\, Williams is one of our most revered artists\, beloved for her singular vocals and extraordinary songs. And in these troubling times\, we need the light she shines on World’s Gone Wrong more than ever before. \nRecommended for fans of Emmylou Harris\, Gillian Welch\, Steve Earle & Bob Dylan. \n📸: Mark Seliger

SUMMARY:An Evening with Lucinda Williams & Her Band: World's Gone Wrong Tour
DESCRIPTION:Acoustic Shows with Lucinda Williams & Her Band:\nBlues\, Ballads & More: A Quiet Night with Lucinda Williams & Her Band\nNOV 16 • 7:00pm Performance \nBlues\, Ballads & More: A Quiet Night with Lucinda Williams & Her Band\nNOV 17 • 7:00pm Performance \n\n“perfect… clearly in a league of her own” – Chicago Reader\n  \n“My dad\, as a poet\, always told me to never censor myself – that’s one of his cardinal rules of creative writing\,” says multiple-Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams. “That became my motto which I’ve stuck by all these years.” Miller Williams’ advice clearly is borne out on Lucinda’s powerful eighteenth studio album\, 2026’s provocative World’s Gone Wrong. “I felt a sense of urgency in making this record\,” she adds. \nFilled with gut-wrenching topical songs\, the album’s ten tracks were written and recorded in a blast of collaborative creativity. There\, Lucinda and her co-writers ­– primarily husband/manager/co-producer Tom Overby and guitarist Doug Pettibone – grappled with the events of spring 2025. Moreover\, a whole other album had been in the works. However\, the “urgency” to address our current cataclysmic situation motivated Lucinda and company to cut World’s Gone Wrong in direct response. “Music is a powerful weapon\,” she points out. “I want this record to make people aware\, wake them up. I like to push people’s buttons.” \nAnd that’s what Lucinda fans have come to depend on over the past forty-five years. Her back catalog boasts remarkable albums\, including 1998’s game-changing Car Wheels on a Gravel Road. Additionally\, she’s earned three Grammy awards and countless accolades\, including Time Magazine naming her America’s Best Songwriter in 2001. Here\, Williams is one of our most revered artists\, beloved for her singular vocals and extraordinary songs. And in these troubling times\, we need the light she shines on World’s Gone Wrong more than ever before. \nRecommended for fans of Emmylou Harris\, Gillian Welch\, Steve Earle & Bob Dylan. \n📸: Mark Seliger
