✨Connor Clark & Blue Rhythm Revival and Lando Moss
connorclark_bluerhythmrevival landomoss
Connor Clark & Blue Rhythm Revival stand as a testament to Rock and Roll. The music pays homage to royalty, drawing inspiration from the likes of The Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead, and Neil Young to the pioneers of the present like All Them Witches, Marcus King, My Morning Jacket and Alabama Shakes. The result is a sonic tapestry that bridges a gap between nostalgia and contemporary focusing around the heart of a song with the soul of a jam.
Deep in the musical mountains of Western North Carolina, wedged somewhere between the boulders of cosmic country, neo-soul, and good old-fashioned rock and roll, sprouts the groovy growth known as Lando Moss. Frontman Cam Stack (who IS ALSO AN AMAZINF MEMBER OF OUR TEAM) is a veteran singer-songwriter in the mold of versatile performers like Ben Harper and MJ Lenderman. Backed up by the limber bass of Daniel Walton and Propulsive drumming of Richard Inman, stack leads the group with smoky vocals, thoughtful lyrics, and Melodic guitar.
✨Saturday June 20th | 6-9pm | Free Show + Solvivor @solvivorband
Solvivor is a powerhouse musical collective hailing from Western North Carolina, dedicated to a unique sound dubbed “Post-Modern Southern Rock.” Founded by guitarist Dorsey Parker and bassist lan Harrod, the lineup features Josh Chasner on the Les Paul guitar and the driving rhythm of Richard Faulk on drums and percussion. The band’s sound is a rich tapestry of influences, ranging from blues and country to funk and Americana. While the heart of the project is focused on their original material-currently being captured in the studio for their upcoming album-their live sets are built on a foundation of deep-pocket grooves and powerful, high-energy covers.
✨Saturday 11:30AM-2:30PM, we’ve got our weekly Jazz Brunch and Sunday 3-6PM, we’ve got reggae Sunday with @chalwaroots. Come on by!
Need to clear your mind? Walk on into the taproom for @jerrysdeadofficial tonight 😅🍻⚡️🎸 Nothing sets you straight like a beer, a slice, some dancing and being surrounded by amazing people. Rain or shine, we have the best time here on Thursdays. You won’t want to miss it!
P.s Gus is a real one for doing this trend with us lol show him some love by coming out tonight!
