For the past 30 years, Trever Keith has been best known as the founder, lead singer/guitarist, and main songwriter of the renowned punk rock group face to face, but throughout his career he’s done much more than helm the band. For more than two decades, he’s owned and operated the boutique record label Antagonist. He’s recorded and/or produced more than twenty albums. He’s written lyrics to more than one hundred-fifty songs which have recently been collected into an anthology book. And recently he’s been performing with an acoustic guitar instead of an electric one.

It might seem like for punk rock singers, the venture into solo acoustic performances is almost a rite of passage. Keith shrugs off the cliché citing a “real and intimate connection” with performing acoustic that is both inspiring and unique. In 2021, Keith officially joined the ranks performing shows across the US and abroad as a solo artist. He also released his first acoustic single; a cover of Zach Bryan’s Heading South. “…when I found out about this kid (Bryan), I was immediately drawn to his style and especially the lyrics of this song. It’s honest and rebellious like a punk rock song,” says Keith.

Trever has been writing and developing his own brand of singer/songwriter music, collaborating with Americana stalwarts like Austin Lucas and Tim Vantol. Throughout 2022 he will be performing across the US and internationally. He joins Austin Lucas for a European Tour in April/May.

“Beautiful” simply does not describe the incomparable force known to the world as Patti LaBelle. Often credited as the Godmother of Soul, this multi Grammy^® Award winner’s hits include “Lady Marmalade” – which was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, “If Only You Knew,” “New Attitude,” and “On My Own” – a duet with Michael McDonald.

Belting out classic rhythm and blues renditions, pop standards, and spiritual sonnets, this soulful songbird’s name has become synonymous with grace, style, elegance, and class. In addition to being on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Apollo Theater Walk of Fame, LaBelle has been honored with the NAACP Image Award for Entertainer of the Year, the BET Awards’ Lifetime Achievement Award, the Songwriters Hall of Fame’s Lifetime Achievement Award, and the World Music Awards’ Legend Award.

LaBelle has written six books: Don’t Block the Blessings, LaBelle Cuisine: Recipes to Sing About, Patti’s Pearls, Patti LaBelle’s Lite Cuisine, Recipes for the Good Life, and her most recent, Desserts LaBelle. She stars in her own highly rated cooking show, Patti LaBelle’s Place, on the Cooking Channel and has a successful product line, Patti’s Good Life, that includes a variety of sauces, sweet potato pie, cobblers, and cakes. Recently, LaBelle appeared on American Horror Story: Freak Show and as a contestant on Dancing with the Stars.

WORTHAM CENTER PRESENTS

Ryan Keberle and The Catharsis Trio

At the age of 14, Daniel discovered one of Nashville’s best kept secrets, The Don Kelley Band at Robert’s Western World. This legendary house band played five nights a week, four hours a night, and regularly hosted Music City’s finest guitarists. The band’s approach to their 100+ song setlist of classic country and bluegrass music was unique and packed out Nashville’s most famous Honky Tonk on a nightly basis. For three years, every Saturday, he gave the band his business card, in hopes that he could join their legendary roster.

He got the gig.

464 shows, 1856 hours, and 20,880 songs later, the ways of this band live and breathe in every note he plays and sings. The COVID-19 pandemic ended this band’s career, and in tribute to the immense inspiration they brought to Nashville, “Cosmic Country & Western Songs,” was born.

The songs and sounds from this album are the sounds of Nashville’s finest country band rocking the house in Music City’s most famous Honky Tonk on a Saturday night, with a twist of #CosmicCountry woven in.

2021, in an otherwise very difficult and competitive touring climate, has been a major year of growth for Daniel with his Lost Highway Podcast reaching new heights, career-high attendances in every market, new band member personnel helping the music acheive new dimensions, and a bullish outlook to the future. Cosmic Country is alive and well and the future is bright.

North Carolina Native, currently based in the “Birthplace of Country Music” Bristol, TN/VA; singer-songwriter Ella Patrick, aka Momma Molasses has been steadily gaining ground as new voice in roots music. Singing with a rich, syrupy-sweet alto, and accompanied by her homespun finger-picked parlor guitar; Momma Molasses harkens back to the “classic” era of country music, blending flavors of old-time, swing, blues, folk, and bluegrass. Commonly compared by listeners to female greats such as; Patsy Cline, Maybelle Carter, and an “acoustic” Janis Joplin; Momma Molasses has a unforgettable vocal tone, and a unique guitar style. While touring full time, she also curates a radio program, broadcasting live from The Birthplace of Country Music Museum, on WBCM-LP Radio Bristol, and hosts a monthly concert series for emerging musicians called “For The Song’s Sake” in Bristol, TN. “Sweeter than honey, Momma Molasses sings like a quilt comforts.”

A highly versatile group, Gypsy Grass can play classy swing jazz all day, then throw a foot stomping dance party all night. While the band can easily hold their own within each genre, they have the unique ability to fuse the styles in an engaging, organic, and captivating way.

Stand for Myself is the anthemic new album from Yola. Produced by Dan Auerbach, the record is a timeless masterpiece marking
an idiosyncratic sonic shift, which will defy all expectation. A sophisticated and diverse sonic mix of symphonic soul and classic pop,
tracing an expansive musical thread to Yola’s most eclectic musical inspirations. Yola’s inimitable vocals share nuanced stories of
allyship, black feminine strength through vulnerability, collective awakening and loving connection from the sexual to the social.
Yola declares that it is only when we stand for ourselves, and acknowledge our complexity, that we can be truly alive. For Yola,
living is more than merely surviving.

Versatile hard rock quartet, All Them Witches, thrive on contrast. Now six records deep into a tenure that began in 2012, Ben McLeod (guitarist,) Charles Michael Parks, Jr. (bass/vocals,) Robby Staebler (drums,) and Allan Van Cleave (keys) are unremittingly forward-looking. There is a ferocious energy and rhythmic nuance to the band that delivers devastating guitar riffs in a raw blend of progressive, bluesy, neo-psychedelic rock.

The band has relentlessly toured since inception, performing at festivals including Voodoo Music & Arts, Bonnaroo, Forecastle Festival, and Pukkelpop; while also sharing tours with acts such as Mastodon, Ghost, and Primus.

All Them Witches’ most recent record was recorded in Abbey Road and released September 4, 2020 on New West Records. They continue to hone their unique meld of crafted songwriting and spacious grooves on the road with 30+ date tour this winter with plays at Shakey Knees Festival and a sold-out Halloween show at Ryman Auditorium in their hometown, Nashville. All Them Witches have deep musical roots and grow a heavy, visceral sound, with sheer dexterity delivered in every song.
