Finally, the 80s come alive again as Wolf Den Hall of Fame inductee Eddie Money arrives in the Wolf Den on Saturday, April 30th. Friday and Saturday Wolf Den shows begin at 8:00pm and Sunday shows are at 7:00pm unless otherwise noted. Admission is free, but all guests must be 21 or over.
Jack Ingram remains in the forefront of Country music with the album Big Dreams & High Hopes, the seventh studio album of his career and his third for Nashville maverick indie label Big Machine Records. And you’ve probably already heard the swimming hole party anthem “Barefoot and Crazy” which quickly became a radio smash and a soundtrack for the hot summer of 2009.
Pioneers of the Country Rock sound that soared out of California in the late 60s and early 70s, Poco was the inspiration for bands like The Eagles, Firefall, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Pure Prairie League, Little River Band and The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, as well as the new breed of Country Rock acts.
Lee Brice’s sounds reflect the rugged feel of steel guitar and fiddle, the images of growing up in a world of fields and farms, of heartbreak and hard work. Lee Brice is Country all the way. It’s in his voice – think of it as honey trickling through lines of melody etched in leather – and in the images it conjures, of “Country girls and redneck boys” anticipating the night to come in the sunset glow of a Dairy Queen (“Sumter County”) and of growing up “on the edge of a cornfield” (“Picture of Me”).
Pittsburgh-based band Rusted Root is well known for their style of blending Bluegrass Rock and strong percussion. They have released several albums to date including a greatest hits collection and their latest effort Stereo Rodeo. They are best known for their hits “Send Me On My Way” and “Ecstasy.”
Wolf Den Hall of Fame Inductee Eddie Money hit the Top 40 with “Two Tickets to Paradise” and “Baby Hold On,” and had a huge success with “Take Me Home Tonight,” his music/ video collaboration with the legendary Ronnie Spector. A perennial favorite for Wolf Den audiences, Money always delivers big-time.
