Backed by the Sawdusters—Shelley Anderson on bass and Chase Palmer on drums—the trio has built its reputation through relentless touring across the U.S. and Europe and a steady run of records grounded in narrative songwriting and grit.After early solo EPs, the Sawdusters broke through with Midwest Heart / Southern Blues (2016), refined their approach on All Damn Day, and expanded their palette with 2022’s Heavy Denim, which folded synths and unease into post-pandemic Americana.Their latest album, Apparition, pivots toward a more direct, visceral sound. Recorded in Louisville, the record opens with the kinetic instrumental “Reckless” before diving into propulsive alt-country on “Revenge,” a gospel-tinged meditation on temptation and consequence. Elsewhere, “All Downhill From Here” blends Midwestern twang with New Orleans funk, while the eerie “Scratching at Your Back Door” leans into the tension between classic M**der ballads and modern true-crime obsession. Songs like “Out in the Cold” and “Black Dad / White Mom” anchor the album in history and autobiography, balancing tradition with lived experience.With Apparition, Nick Dittmeier and the Sawdusters deliver their most direct and confident album yet, an electrifying account of real lives and long miles.==================The potluck is optional, but is a great chance to connect others in the audience and maybe even share a meal with the artist. It also helps ensure the artist isn't having to have a meal from a gas station. We'll provide the plates, bowls, silverware, napkins, and, if you need it, serving spoons. Feel free to bring anything you'd like--an entrée, appetizer, dessert, or drink to share. Bring something you will enjoy eating, because if you enjoy it it is likely others will as well.================Crossroads Cultural Connections is supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency, through federal funds provided by the National Endowment for the Arts, Illinois Humanities, the Doris and Ken Kolb Charitable Trust, Big Bluestem Wind, and generous donors like you!

Each concert is preceded by a potluck meal where guests bring all sorts of dishes, desserts, and drinks to share. Our concerts are one of the few places where entire families, young and old alike, can come together to experience live music.We have both indoor and outdoor performance spaces. Our indoor space seats 30 comfortably and is decked out with premium sound treatment panels and high-end amplification to provide the best possible listening experience. Weather-permitting, we also hold concerts outdoors, with performers setup on our large porch and guests on the lawn with their lawn chairs and blankets, usually during a picturesque sunset.For performers we offer an attentive crowd in an intimate environment, dinner, a place to stay the night, and 100% of the proceeds." } ] } ] ```
