Southall | 9PM
Read Southall can sure turn a phrase. “This record is the gasoline for the love machine,” he says of his band’s new album, the exhilarating and self-titled Southall. The proud Oklahomaworkingman isn’t exaggerating. The record sparks and burns with 11 crank-it-up songs thatexpertly combine country, rock & roll, and the dust and grit of the band’s native Red Dirt scene.
But there are also glimpses of hard rock and metal, along with easy going back-porch vibes, the result of a drastic change in the way the group formerly known as the Read Southall Band now makes music: Every member of Southall brings lyrics, melodies, and even full songs to the table.“It’s the colors of different people with different influences making music,” Southall says. “I’ve always been confident in the talents and abilities of the guys onstage with me, and I want ourfans to see and hear that too. That’s why we changed our name to Southall.”
The Lowdown Drifters | 7PM
They are a hard living, hard loving and hard leaving group of Ft. Worth based musicians blending country, rock and Americana into a sound of their own; the epitome of a rock band with a fiddle problem. With heartfelt and sincere melodies crafted by their accurately named frontman Big JohnCannon, the Drifters live show is a high energy experience, highlighting their songs that capture the highs and lows of the human experience. The Drifters have been propelled to over 500,000 monthly listeners and 50 million total streams by their wildly successful album Last Call for Dreamers which has led them to share the stage with artists including Randy Rogers, Koe Wetzel, LeAnn Rimes and Zach Bryan. The Lowdown Drifters have crisscrossed the country in 2024 while still making time to record their new album, In Time, with Grammy Award-nominated producer Wes Sharon (Turnpike Troubadours, American Aquarium, John Fulbright) to be released on October 25th.
Rob Leines | 5PM & 10:30PM
"I'm burning down the interstate," Rob Leines sings halfway through Headcase, an album that finds the road warrior occupying the intersection of blue-collar rock & roll and outlaw country. Pulling triple duty as a songwriter, southern storyteller, and modern-day guitar hero, Leines fills his third album with tales from the fast lane, punctuating each song with amplified riffs and a voice sharpened by a heavy touring schedule. The result is a record for dive bars and dance halls, for highways and honky-tonks, for wheels that spin and and horizons that linger just out of reach.
Before recording Headcase with co-producers Mike Harmeier (the longtime frontman of Silverada, formerly known as Mike and the Moonpies) and Adam Odor, Leines quit his longtime job as a welder and hit the road in support of 2021's Blood Sweat and Beers. That record became his breakthrough release, earning Leines a year's worth of gigs with marquee acts like Dwight Yoakam and The Mavericks. Night after night, he hit the stage with his power trio, mixing rock & roll bang with Telecaster twang. Recorded between shows, Headcase captures that live chemistry with songs that dig beneath the blacktop for stories about love lost, chances taken, and life lived between the mile markers.
The ShotGunBillys | 2PM
The ShotGunBillys are a high-energy southern rock band that blends Memphis blues with a steady Arkansas country handshake. The band hails from the outskirts of Memphis, Tennessee. They were nurtured by the sounds that made Memphis great but have carved a distinct sound that blends it all.
