SUMMARY:Drivin N Cryin wsg Laid Back Country Picker - Sportsmens
DESCRIPTION:Sportsmens presents \nDrivin N Cryin \nwsg Laid Back Country Picker \nSunday\, September 6\, 2026 4pm Doors\, 6pm Showtime \n$30.00 ($33.70 Online) \n \n \nDrivin N Cryin is an enduring American rock band whose roots-forward sound and uncompromising\nspirit have made them a vital force since forming in Atlanta\, Georgia in 1985. Blending Southern\nrock grit\, folk storytelling\, and hard-charging rock & roll\, the band built a reputation early on as a must-see live act and a songwriter’s band with depth far beyond trends. \nLed by singer-songwriter Kevn Kinney and anchored by bassist Tim Nielsen and drummer Dave\nJohnson\, Drivin N Cryin broke through nationally with a run of influential albums that helped define late-’80s and early-’90s American rock. Songs like “Fly Me Courageous\,” “Honeysuckle Blue\,” “Straight to Hell\,” “Build a Fire\,” and “Scarred But Smarter” became staples of rock and AAA radio\, with Fly Me Courageous earning Gold certification and remaining a cornerstone of the band’scatalog. \nWhile they emerged during the MTV era\, Drivin N Cryin never disappeared. Over four decades\,\nthey’ve remained a consistently touring\, recording band — releasing new music\, evolving their\nsound\, and cultivating a loyal\, multigenerational audience. Their influence extends well beyond\ntheir own recordings; “Straight to Hell” found new life through covers and collaborations that\nintroduced the song to entirely new audiences. \nThe band’s stature is reflected in both peer respect and formal recognition\, including induction into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame\, as well as Kinney’s induction into the Milwaukee Music Hall of Fame. Touring history includes shared stages with artists spanning multiple eras and genres\, The Who\, Hootie & The Blowfish\, The Black Crowes\, ZZ Top\, Soul Asylum\, Blackberry Smoke\, The\nMarshall Tucker Band\, Jason Isbell\, along with recent appearances on destination events like Rock Boat\, Outlaw Country Cruise\, and Moon Crush. \nTheir latest album\, Crushing Flowers\, marks a deliberate return to the band’s core. Stripped back to the original three-piece\, the record favors clarity\, chemistry\, and feel over excess — a confident\, back-to-basics statement from a band that knows exactly who it is. Rather than chasing nostalgia or novelty\, Crushing Flowers reinforces what has always set Drivin N Cryin apart: honest songs\, emotional weight\, and the unmistakable sound of a band still fully engaged in the work. \nNearly forty years in\, Drivin N Cryin remains a living\, breathing American rock band — not a revival act\, not a footnote\, but a continuing story still being written. \n \nLaid Back Country Picker and Honey are the Hillbilly Power Duo. Picking up where the White Stripes left off\, they deliver a blistering show\, equal parts 70s Guitar Rock\, Honky Tonk and Country Punk. They have toured internationally\, opening for the likes of Deep Purple as well as playing festivals and clubs across the US. Blurring the lines with wit\, humor and hot picking\, LB is his own genre.   \nImagine Waylon Jennings sitting in with Motorhead.

DESCRIPTION:Sportsmens presents \nSarah Borges \nThursday\, August 27\, 2026 7pm \n$15ad/$20door \n \n  \n \n  \nOne way or another\, Sarah Borges connects with casual mastery. \nWhether it’s with the comrades she’s collaborated with over nearly 20 \nsparkling years of music-making\, or the vivid portraits of people’s lives \n– and occasionally her own – she’s sketched in scores of emotionally \nresonant songs.

SUMMARY:Snowmen - The Cave
DESCRIPTION:The Cave presents \nSnowmen \nThursday\, August 20\, 2026 6pm Doors\, 7pm Showtime \n$15ad Online Fee or $20 at the door \n \nSNOWMEN is a band from New York City\, emerging from college friendships\, dimly-lit practice spaces\, and a shared reverence for downtown rock. Following a string of wild shows as a cover band\, the group realized they had found something of their own. \nTheir debut album\, A Kick to the Face\, captures that same intensity of their live shows. The title speaks to their sonic identity\, and to the struggles of a band making music in their early years. Recorded in a rehearsal space over a single month\, with almost no budget and one microphone\, A Kick to the Face is a testament to creativity under pressure. \nIntrospective and charged with adrenaline\, SNOWMEN is everything that makes New York music exciting right now.

SUMMARY:Sam Morrow - Sportsmens
DESCRIPTION:Sportsmens presents \nSam Morrow \nFriday\, August 14\, 2026 8pm \n$20.00 (+online fee) \n \n  \n \n  \nSam Morrow spent years knocking on doors that wouldn’t budge\, walking through ones that led nowhere\, and closing others behind him.\nOn his newest record\, Southern Boogie\, he’s slammed the door shut on the Americana palate that defined his previous trilogy of releases and kicked open a new one. A cross-country move\, change of perspective\, and fresh outlook on life were catalysts that also steered Morrow to cross the threshold on a new sound.\nMake no mistake\, that’s exactly what Southern Boogie represents — raw\, Texas-bred southern rock that sounds exactly like what it is: Sam Morrow\, confidently evolving.\n“Doors opening and closing is definitely a constant theme of the record\,” Morrow says. “It’s not only ending of a relationship\, and a change of location\, but my life was completely changing.”\nFor years\, Morrow has made records shaped by a period spent trying to reinvent himself in California and partially inspired by the new neighbors he suddenly found himself surrounded by. His earlier albums — Concrete & Mud\, Gettin’ By On Gettin’ Down\, and On The Ride Here — earned praise from NPR and Rolling Stone for their swampy blend of country funk\, and roadhouse blues.\nAnd while those records were a huge part of his life. They also lined up to a time and place that he was leaving behind.\nSouthern Boogie is what happens when you shed expectations. Recorded mostly live\, in Austin\, with producer Jonathan Tyler\, the sessions were stripped-down and analog: two guitars\, bass\, keys\, drums. All tube amps. No click track. No safety net.\n“Jonathan got it before I even explained it\,” Morrow says. “We just wanted it to sound gritty and raw. Like a band in a room\, because that’s what it is.”\nThe result is unapologetically guitar driven. Straight-ahead southern rock with a Texas backbone — ZZ Top’s grit and groove without trying to sound like anyone but himself.\nThat brand of honesty didn’t come easy. The last few years brought its share of hard resets. After over a decade in Los Angeles\, Morrow felt something pulling him away. It wasn’t just the expense or the grind of touring from the West Coast. It was deeper than that.\n“I just knew I didn’t want to be there anymore\,” Morrow explains. “Both careerwise and personally it felt like a smart move.”\nRelocating to Nashville gave him clarity. He’s happier now. More grounded. The restless energy that defined his earlier work has given way to something looser\, more self-assured.”I’m the happiest I’ve ever been\,” Morrow says. “And I think that shows on the record. It’s playful. It doesn’t take itself too seriously.”\nThat newfound sense of unbridled optimism pervades Boogie’s nine tracks\, unlocked in no small part by a new relationship. After 15 years apart\, Morrow unexpectedly reconnected with his high school sweetheart\, ultimately falling in love and getting married.\n“South Texas Women” is Morrow’s love letter to her — a song about realizing “they just don’t make them like they do in South Texas.” Meanwhile\, “Wedding Ring” celebrates the certainty of finding the right person.\nThe new record swaggers. It also has heart. Sometimes both at once.\n“Cruisin'” begs the listener to turn it up and hit the gas\, capturing the freedom of rolling down the highway when you can’t see eye to eye with your partner. “Saturday Night” is a satirical rocker about a guy who feels invincible and owns the night. “In The Bag” offers a clear-eyed look at the fleeting high of cocaine. “Put It in a Song” speaks to the healing power of songwriting itself — good or bad\, it all goes into the song.\n“I just want people to listen to this and have a good time\,” Morrow says. “Don’t take shit too seriously. That’s kind of my mantra.”\nMorrow grew up in Houston absorbing ZZ Top\, punk\, and hip-hop before landing in rehab as a teenager. He found sobriety in Los Angeles and stayed there for over a decade\, building a career and a sound. But the move to Nashville and the new album all signal the same thing: his discordant era is over.\nThis is chapter two.\n“I’ve been looking for my sound for a long time\,” Morrow says. “Rock ‘n’ roll just feels like me. The most me possible.” After years of searching\, Sam Morrow quit looking for approval. Southern Boogie is what’s on the other side — loud\, honest\, and exactly where he is supposed to be.

SUMMARY:SAMFest Lilly Hiatt\, Twang Gang & More - MOVED INSIDE TO SPORTSMENS
DESCRIPTION:Sportsmens & The Sportsmens Americana Music Foundation present \nSAMFest 2026 \nLilliy Hiatt\, Twang Gang & More \nSunday\, August 2\, 2026 2pm Sportsmens Park \n1pm Gates\, 2pm Showtime \n \n \n  \nThe search for answers—where she’s been\, who she’s become\, what it all means—lies at the heart of Hiatt’s striking new album\, Forever. Written and recorded in Hiatt’s new home just outside Nashville\, the collection grapples with growth and change\, escape and anxiety\, self-loathing and self-love. The songs are intensely vulnerable here\, full of diaristic snapshots and deeply personal ruminations\, but they’re also broad invitations to find yourself in Hiatt’s unflinching emotional excavations\, to see your own humanity reflected back in her pursuit of something larger than herself. Hiatt cut the album with her husband\, Coley Hinson\, who produced and played most of the instruments on the record\, and the result is a raw\, unvarnished work of love and trust that walks the line between alt-rock muscle and singer/songwriter sensitivity\, a bold\, guitar-driven\, at times psychedelic exploration of maturity and adulthood from an artist who wants you to know you’re not alone\, no matter how lost you may feel. \n  \n“I think of this album like a hand to hold\,” says Hiatt. “I wanted to open up the door and let people in on what I’ve been going through\, but I also hoped that by telling the truth about the joy and pain and love and grief I’ve experienced\, it might strike a chord with somebody else navigating their way through all those things\, too.” \n  \nBorn in Los Angeles and raised in Tennessee\, Hiatt first earned buzz with a pair of early solo records before breaking out with 2017’s Trinity Lane. Produced by Shovels & Rope’s Michael Trent\, the record helped Hiatt earn dates with the likes of John Prine\, Margo Price\, Drive-By Truckers\, and Hiss Golden Messenger in addition to festival slots everywhere from Pilgrimage to Luck Reunion. NPR called the album “courageous and affecting\,” while The Independent raved that it showcased Hiatt’s “gift for unpicking knotty lyrical themes in a personalised blend of countrified rock music\,” and Rolling Stone hailed it as “the most cohesive and declarative statement of the young songwriter’s career.” Hiatt delivered on the album’s promise with her similarly well-received 2020 follow-up\, Walking Proof\, and\, unable to tour due to the pandemic\, quickly returned to the studio again for 2021’s Lately\, which The Boston Herald said showcased her “knack for plainspoken\, poetic lyrics” and Uncut proclaimed to be “captivating.” \n  \nWhen it was finally time to get back on the road\, though\, Hiatt found herself feeling overwhelmed and bewildered. The world seemed to be changing faster than she could keep up with\, and rather than embracing what should have been her triumphant return\, Hiatt instead began retreating from everything she’d worked so hard to build. \n  \n“I fell in love\, got married\, adopted a dog\, all the things I’d always dreamed of doing\,” she reflects. “But I felt like an outsider watching myself stumble though it all\, just constantly critiquing myself to the point where I became so paralyzed I could hardly leave home.” \n  \nHiatt tried therapy and antidepressants\, talked to friends and family\, wrote dozens and dozens of songs about her feelings\, all in the hopes of quieting her racing mind. \n  \n“There was this intensity where I felt so jacked up all the time\,” she explains. “Eventually I just realized that my life was passing me by\, that the love I was living in required presence to accept. So I started doing the little things you have to do to show up for the people in your life: listen\, grow\, change. I learned to expand my world.” \n  \nHiatt left the bustle of Nashville for a more rural setting outside the city and scrapped all the material she’d been working on\, starting from scratch with Hinson in pursuit of something that would resonate more with the new chapter she was embarking upon. The pair worked quickly\, tackling the writing and recording of each song one-at-a-time from the ground up and sending the material off to Paul Kolderie (Radiohead\, Pixies) to mix as they finished it. \n  \n“Paul brought so much enthusiasm and dimension to the project\,” Hiatt explains. “Every time we had a song tracked\, we’d share it with him and then he’d get really excited about it\, which was really affirming and encouraged us to turn right around and get started on the next one.” \n  \nThat excitement is plain to hear on Forever\, which opens with the brawny “Hidden Day.” “I’m gonna find a place where no one needs nothin’ from me\,” Hiatt declares on the electrifying track\, which fantasizes about a secret 24 hours where the world stops tugging at your sleeve long enough to let you catch your breath. Like much of the album\, the song—which was written with Scot Sax and co-mixed by Jon Debaun—is grounded in concrete details from Hiatt’s personal life\, but it’s also a conversational tune rooted in intimacy between the singer and her audience: “I stumbled upon a day I wanna tell you about\,” she declares. “It’s our little secret\, you better keep it to yourself.” The breezy\, lo-fi “Ghost Ship” reminds us of the common ground we share no matter our superficial differences (“I’m looking for something\, and you are\, too”)\, while the driving “Shouldn’t Be” meditates on the universal need to stand in your beliefs without requiring the validation of others\, and the dreamy “Somewhere” longs to escape from the weight of judgment\, both internal and external. \n  \n“I’ve always been fascinated with escape in my writing\,” Hiatt reflects. “A lot of these songs like to imagine a moment or a place where you can become untethered from reality\, from the mundane\, from yourself. Sometimes just being with the person you love is all it takes. \n  \nIndeed\, the power of real and lasting love—how it can change you for the better and sustain you at your lowest—is woven into the very fabric of Forever.  The twangy “Man” revels in the security of knowing where you stand in a committed relationship; the playful “Kwik-E-Mart” celebrates the ordinary moments that take on new meaning when shared with a partner; and the blistering title track takes stock of what matters once you’ve found what you’ve been looking for. “I can be anyone out here\, but I can’t be in love / With a restaurant or a new haircut\,” Hiatt sings over a wall of fuzzed out guitars. “Nice to be a loner\, no one knows you’re hurt / But I wanna be by your side\, I wanna be by your side forever.” \n  \n“I wrote ‘Forever’ on tour in San Francisco after playing this festival where they put me and the band up in this amazing hotel\,” Hiatt recalls. “I couldn’t have been happier to be there\, and there was a time in my life when I would have wanted nothing more than to stay forever. But in that moment\, I realized the thing I was most excited about was getting back to my house and my dog and telling my husband all about it.” \n  \nUltimately\, that revelation is what Forever is all about. If you can slow down enough to live in the moment\, if you can quiet the outside world enough to hear to your own heart\, if you can blow away the haze and learn to see what’s right in front of you\, you just might find that reality is more beautiful than any dream.

DESCRIPTION:Sportsmens presents \nNick Lowe & Los Straitjackets \nWednesday\, July 22\, 2026 \n$50.00 + Online Fee \n5pm Doors\, 7pm Showtime \nRain or Shine\, Bring a chair. \n \n  \n \n  \nPhoto credit: Dave Brolan \n  \nNick Lowe \nNick Lowe has made his mark as a producer (Elvis Costello-Graham Parker-Pretenders-The Damned)\, songwriter of at least three songs you know by heart\, short-lived career as a pop star\, and a lengthy term as a musicians’ musician. But in his current ‘second act’ as a silver-haired\, tender-hearted but sharp-tongued singer-songwriter\, he has no equal. \nStarting with 1995′s ‘The Impossible Bird’ through to 2011′s ‘The Old Magic\,’ Nick has turned out a fantastic string of albums\, each one devised in his West London home\, and recorded with a core of musicians who possess the same veteran savvy. Lowe brings wit and understated excellence to every performance\, leading Ben Ratliff of the New York Times to describe his live show as “elegant and nearly devastating.” \n  \nIn 2024 he released his latest record ‘Indoor Safari\,’ a collaboration with Los Straitjackets. \nLos Straitjackets \nLos Straitjackets are the leading practitioners of the lost art of the guitar instrumental. Using the music of the Ventures\, The Shadows\, and with Link Wray and Dick Dale as a jumping off point\, the band has taken their unique\, high energy brand of original rock & roll around the world. Clad in their trademark Lucha Libre Mexican wrestling masks\, the “Jackets” have delivered their trademark guitar licks to 16 albums\, thousands of concerts and dozens of films and TV shows. \n  \nTheir latest album ‘Somos Los Straitjackets’ was released in 2025. “The quartet’s time-warped expertise shines through on track after track” – Shindig!

SUMMARY:Patrick Sweany - Sportsmens
DESCRIPTION:Sportsmens presents \nPatrick Sweany \nSunday\, July 12\, 2026 $20.00 + Online Fee \n2pm Doors\, 4pm Showtime \n \n  \n \nPATRICK SWEANY – BABY\, IT’S LATEThe title of Patrick Sweany’s new record is apt for more reasons than might be readily apparent. \nFor fans\, it’s a nod to the massive amount of time between full-length albums (7 years if you are counting). For Sweany\, it’s a theme that’s permeated his latest songs (running out of time\, getting older).  \nThe time in between 2018’s Ancient Noiseand Baby\, It’s Latehas been full of changes for Sweany. Difficult changes. These mile-markers and their aftermath made it challenging for Sweany to do what he’s done for over 20 years: write songs\, record songs\, get in a van and play those songs for you. \nIt wasn’t as though Sweany’s music-making simply stopped\, however. As the world opened back up after the pandemic\, Sweany resumed his Blue Monday residency at The 5 Spot in E. Nashville playing 50’s and 60’s era Blues songs with The Tiger Beats: McKinley James\, Jason Smay\, and Ted Pecchio. He also started a new Soul\, Funk project called SUPER FELONwith JD Simo\, Adam Abrashoff\, Pecchioand Robbie Crowell. Most importantly\, he started writing and recording again. \nFor the first time\, Sweany chose to do almost everything himself\, recording tracks on his Tascam 388 tape machine in his Bongo Room home studio. While the end results were not quite good enough for public consumption\, the kernels of some great new songs were started\, and a less polished\, more organic approach was established.  \nSweany decided to call on the collaborators in The Tiger Beats and SUPER FELON to help him progress. Using JD Simo’s House Of Greasestudio and McKinley James’ Red Lodgestudio\, Sweany brought in players from both of these projects. \n“These guys are some of the most in-demand players in Nashville\,” says Sweany about the sessions. “They know when it’s right and when it’s not. If they felt like these songs weren’t good enough\, they’d tell me. \n”“We tracked two days live\, no headphones\, band in the room\, old school style. It felt good. It felt right. The songs sounded like songs.Back in the saddle.”  \nOn top of the old-school style of recording\, Sweany chose to produce the recordings himself – something he’d never done \nThe results are a raw\, more direct collection of songs that tap directly into the pain\, tension\, and catharsis of the past seven years. Stylistically they capture elements of Sweany’s previous recordings: the raw Blues-Rock opener “My Time Ain’t Long”could be an outtake from 2008’s Every Hour Is A Dollar Gone\, while the subtle ballads “Christmas Parade”and “See Through”are reminiscent of 2015’s ruminative Daytime Turned To Nighttime. Elsewhere\, however\, Sweany embraces some new influences such as the hooky rock anthem “Golden Fields”and the 70s organ funk groove of “Trouble With Love.” \nAfter over 25 years writing\, recording and touring\, Sweany knows more than most that you can’t rush the process. You have to wait until the songs are ready. In that regard\, Baby\, It’s Never Too Late.

SUMMARY:The Soap Girls - The Cave
DESCRIPTION:The Cave presents \nThe Soap Girls  \nWednesday\, June 17\, 2026 $20.00 + Online Fee \n6pm Doors\, 7pm Show \nThe SoapGirls are a French-born\, South African-raised alternative rock duo consisting of sisters Noemie “Mie” Debray (guitar\, vocals) and Camille “Mille” Debray (bass\, vocals). Distinguished by their “Revolt Rock” sound and a strictly independent “DIY” ethos\, the sisters are the sole architects of their career—writing\, arranging\, and producing 100% of their musical catalogue\, management\, and visual identity themselves. \nEarly Career and Autonomy\nThe duo first gained public attention as child street performers in Cape Town\, singing and selling handmade soap to benefit local hospitals—an origin that provided both their name and their reputation for social action. Their international breakthrough occurred in 2009 with the song “Boys Boys Boys\,” which featured on a Japanese compilation disc and sparked global interest. This momentum led to a major-label contract with Universal Music South Africa and high-profile television appearances\, including performing as guest artists on Idols SA (Top 10). \nFollowing the success of their Number 1 debut album Xperience (2011) and four Top 5 singles\, the sisters made the pivotal decision to leave the major-label system to reclaim their creative voice. Since then\, they have operated entirely independently\, rejecting outside writers and producers to maintain an unfiltered artistic vision. \nCareer Milestones and Global Reach\nThe SoapGirls have built a global empire from the ground up\, known for an exhausting touring schedule that often exceeds 100 dates per year. \n\n\nMedia Impact: The band has reached a global media audience of over 200 million. They have been featured in Rolling Stone Magazine\, Bass Magazine\, Classic Rock\, Guitar World\, Vive Le Rock\, and Louder Than War.\n\nTelevision & Broadcasting: In addition to their early Idols appearance\, they have been featured on Camden Live TV and numerous television programs across the UK and South Africa. Their music is a staple on BBC Radio\, Planet Rock\, and RTE.\n\nStage Highlights: They have headlined world-class venues including Womb (Tokyo)\, Melkweg (Amsterdam)\, and Camden Assembly (London). In 2025\, they headlined the Motoblot Festival in Chicago and toured as the primary support for Wednesday 13.\n\nThe Rebel DNA Era: In 2026\, the duo launched the Rebel DNA album cycle\, written and produced entirely by the sisters\, accompanied by an extensive world tour across the UK\, Europe\, Japan\, and the United States.
