SUMMARY:Yarn - Sportsmens
DESCRIPTION:Sportsmens presents \nYarn \nWednesday\, April 15\, 2026 7pm \n$25.00 \n \nYou might expect a band that calls itself Yarn to\, naturally\, tend to spin a yarn or two. “That’s what we do\, we tell stories\, live and in the studio\, truth and fiction”\,singer/songwriter Blake Christiana insists. “We don’t always opt for consistency. There’s a different vibe onstage from what comes through in our recordings. There’s a difference in every show as well\, you never know what you’re going to get.” \n  \nYarn’s ability to persevere ought to come as no great surprise\, especially for a band that spent two years honing their chops during a Monday night residency at the famed Kenny’s Castaway in New York’s Greenwich Village. In effect\, it allowed them to rehearse onstage\, mostly in front of audiences that often ranged in size from five to a hundred people on any given night. 10 studio albums followed — Yarn (2007)\, Empty Pockets (2008)\, Leftovers Part One (2009)\, Come On In (2010)\, Leftovers Part 2 (2011)\, Almost Home (2012)\, Shine the Light On (2013)\, This Is The Year (2016)\, and Lucky 13 parts 1 & 2 (2019). The band then took to the road\, playing upwards of 170 shows a year and sharing stages with such superstars as Dwight Yoakam\, Charlie Daniels\,  Railroad Earth\, Marty Stuart\, Allison Krauss\, Leon Russell\, Jim Lauderdale\, Leftover Salmon\, Amos Lee\, The Lumineers and many more. They performed at any number of prestigious venues — Mountain Stage\, Daytrotter\, the Orange Peel in Asheville\, the Fox Theater in Boulder\, the 9:30 Club in D.C\, South by Southwest\, the Strawberry Festival\, Rhythm and Roots\, Meadowgrass\, Floydfest and so much more\, eventually surpassing 1\,000 shows\, half a million miles and performances in nearly every state. They’ve driven nonstop\, made countless radio station appearances\, driven broken-down RVs and watched as their van caught fire. They’ve paid their dues and then some\, looking forward even as they were forced to glance behind. \n  \nIndeed\, the accolades piled up quickly along the way. They have landed on the Grammy ballot 4 times\, garnered nods from the Americana Music Association\, placed top five on both Radio and Records and the AMA album charts\, garnered airplay on Sirius XM\, iTunes\, Pandora\, CNN\, and CMT\, been streamed millions of times on Spotify\, Apple Music\, and Amazon\, and also accorded the “Download of the Day” from Rolling Stone. Shine the Light On found shared songwriting credits with John Oates (the Oates of Hall & Oates fame)\, and when audiences expressed their admiration\, it brought the band a populist cult following of diehard devotees\, popularly known as “the Yarmy.” \n  \nIt’s proof positive that the Brooklyn and Raleigh based band have made their mark\, and in dealing with their emotions\, scars and circumstances\, they find themselves in a position to share those experiences with others who have juggled similar sentiments. \n  \nAs Yarn look forward to their next 2 studio releases in 2023\, Blake looks to establish himself more as the songwriter he’s always been\, and not the pseudo bluegrass band\, bar band or jam band\, that Yarn often gets immediately lumped into.  Although all those elements of music exist in the Yarn catalogue and their live performances\, Blake’s number one priority is and always has been “the song”.  These next 2 releases are without a doubt Blake’s most personal\, polished\, and best of Yarn’s career so far. \n  \nThe beginning of the journey to these 2 albums began around April of 2022 when Blake booked a solo show at The Down Home in Johnson City\, TN (a nod to Townes Van Zandt’s 1986 live show there and ultimate release) with the intention of making a live record.  But he wanted it to be songs none of the fans and attendees had ever heard before. The problem was he hadn’t written most of them yet.  He was at his crossroads\, uninspired\, bored\, exhausted and fairly insecure about his entire career up to that point. But he got to work\, and got more inspired with each new song he wrote.  These songs all tell a story individually but they also tell a story as a whole\, a songwriter and musician ready to dive deeper into the music and the art for a greater result that he believes most anyone can appreciate\, relate to and enjoy.

SUMMARY:Chris Knight - Sportsmens
DESCRIPTION:Sportsmens presents \nChris Knight \nAcoustic Trio Show \nFriday\, April 10\, 2026 6pm $30.00 + Online fee \n6pm Doors\, 8pm Show \n \n  \n \n  \nAfter 23 years as a recording artist\, singer-songwriter Chris Knight remains boldly empowered to make music that always delivers the unflinching truth. In fact\, the man raised in Slaughters\, Kentucky uses a simple\, direct barometer to regularly check his muse: “If I can’t believe myself\, I won’t sing the song.” \n  \nThat brutally honest\, no-frills philosophy fits his Americana-fueled\, backwoods-grown merger of folk\, country\, and rock. It’s been at the backbone of nine studio albums\, beginning with 1998’s acclaimed self-titled debut and traveling through scorchers such as the one-two punch of 2001’s A Pretty Good Guy and 2003’s The Jealous Kind\, two demo-styled discs (2007’s The Trailer Tapes and 2009’s Trailer II)\, and the recent\, electric guitar-fortified opus\, 2019’s Almost Daylight. \nBecause Knight’s music has always sat outside of the mainstream\, onstage is where he makes his fans one show at a time. It is exactly where his searing tales of rural characters\, fringe survivors\, and tumultuous small-town existence find a captivated audience. A few edgy\, raw gems that immediately come to mind are “It Ain’t Easy Being Me\,” “Carla Came Home\,” “I’m William Callahan\,” and “Everybody’s Lonely Now\,” the latter two from Almost Daylight.  \n  \n“I’ve written songs about a lot of different things going all the way back to my first record\,” he says\, “and some folks still think ‘somebody kills somebody’ is all I write about.” \n  \nWhat Knight writes about is what he knows. He was raised in mining country\, so it’s no surprise that he would earn a degree in agriculture from Western Kentucky University and then work as a mine reclamation inspector and then miner’s consultant. But eventually his passion for writing songs and playing guitar\, both inspired by his musical hero\, the late John Prine\, led him to chronicle his surroundings in words and music.  \n  \n“I came from a big family and grew up in the woods six miles from two small towns\, so there were a lot of stories\,” he says. “There were always a lot of ideas to write about.” \nThose ideas have earned Knight praise from publications such as The New York Times (“the last of a dying breed…a taciturn loner with an acoustic guitar and a college degree”) and USA Today (“a storyteller in the best traditions of Mellencamp and Springsteen”)\, to name a few. Like his beloved Prine\, whom Knight duets with on Prine’s chestnut “Mexican Home\,” the cut that closes Almost Daylight\, Knight fits comfortably in Texas honky-tonks\, downtown Nashville venues\, and cool Manhattan rock clubs. \nIt’s no wonder that Knight has single-handedly scraped a reputation as one of America’s most uncompromising and respected singer-songwriters through 23 years and nine studio albums. He’s done this minus fanfare and artifice. The native son of Slaughters\, Kentucky (population: 238) only sings songs he believes. He also speaks only when he has a potent message. \n“If I don’t have something worth saying\, I’m not opening my mouth. I haven’t suited everybody\, but every time I get a new fan it tells me I’m doing something right. I think all my records have set a precedent\, if only for me at the very least. I just want people to think the latest one stands up to everything else I’ve done.”
