SUMMARY:Dwight Yoakam
DESCRIPTION:Dwight Yoakam has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide\, and he is a 21-time nominated\, multiple GRAMMY Award winner. He has 12 gold albums and 9 platinum or multi-platinum albums\, with five of those albums topping Billboard’s Country Albums chart and another 14 landing in the Top 10. Nearly 40 of Yoakam’s singles have charted on Billboard\, with 14 peaking in the Top 10. Yoakam is a recipient of the Artist of the Year award from the Americana Music Association\, and BMI Country Music’s President’s Award\, the most prestigious award offered by the organizations. He was also inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in the Songwriter/Artist category at the 49th anniversary Gala in 2019 in Nashville\, TN. \nYoakam’s self-curated SiriusXM channel\, titled Dwight Yoakam and The Bakersfield Beat ‘Where Country Went Mod’ launched in April of 2018. The channel celebrates the Bakersfield sound and those whom it has inspired. Guests have boasted the likes of Post Malone\, Lukas Nelson\, Beck\, Chris Hillman\, Jakob Dylan\, Mike Nesmith and Mickey Dolans\, Dave Alvin\, and Jackie DeShannon\, among others. \nIn 2016\, Yoakam released his bluegrass album Swimmin’ Pools\, Movie Stars… on Sugar Hill Records.

Produced by nine-time GRAMMY winner Gary Paczosa (Alison Krauss\, Dolly Parton)\, Jon Randall (songwriter of “Whiskey Lullaby”)\, and Yoakam himself\, and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge\, this album reflects the love for bluegrass music that Yoakam developed at an early age in Kentucky and that has inspired him for many years thereafter. In 2018\, Yoakam released two songs\, “Pretty Horses” and “Then Came Monday” (the latter written with Chris Stapleton). \nIn addition to his musical career\, Yoakam is a formidable film and television actor who has appeared in over 40 feature films\, including Sling Blade and Panic Room. In 2016\, he recurred in David E. Kelley’s Amazon series Goliath. Recently\, he appeared in director Steven Soderbergh’s film Logan Lucky with Channing Tatum and Daniel Craig. Yoakam is capable of seamlessly melting into his roles and impressively standing toe-to-toe with some of the world’s top thespians over the course of his storied and successful acting career\, including Jodie Foster\, Tommy Lee Jones\, Jared Leto\, Forest Whitaker and Matthew McConaughey.

SUMMARY:Billy Bragg
DESCRIPTION:The Roaring Forty USA Tour 2024 \nIn 2023 Billy Bragg kicked off a celebration of a remarkable 40 years as Britain’s favourite folk singer\, songwriter and campaigner. To mark this significant landmark\, he has released an acclaimed career-spanning box set ‘The Roaring Forty’ and has played to sell-out crowds across the world. In November he performed his most famous song ‘A New England’ on Later With Jools Holland almost exactly 40 years to the day that he debuted the song on The Tube (also presented by one Jools Holland!). \nGalvanised in the late 70s by The Clash and an aversion to the austere policies of Margaret Thatcher\, Billy set out to inspire political engagement and empathy. He has performed numerous benefit shows for the miners\, the Labour party\, CND\, the jobless and many more\, and has run the Left Field political stage at Glastonbury for the last 20 years. \nBilly has released 11 solo studio albums\, three albums of Woody Guthrie lyrics set to contemporary music by Billy and Wilco (the Mermaid Avenue albums) and one album with Joe Henry. He released a mini album Bridges Not Walls in 2017. His latest studio album\, the acclaimed ‘The Million Things That Never Happened’ came out in 2021. \nBilly Bragg added best-selling author to his CV with the success of his acclaimed 2017 book Roots\, Radicals & Rockers – How Skiffle Changed The World. He has written two books of political analysis –  The Progressive Patriot: A Search For Belonging (2006) and The Three Dimensions of Freedom (2019). \nBilly won the Outstanding Contribution To British Music Award at the prestigious Ivors Awards in 2018. Born and raised in Barking\, East London\, Billy has a street named after him in his home town – Bragg Close. This year Billy has been honoured with a pavement plaque on the Camden Music Walk Of Fame (previous recipients include Madness\, Amy Winehouse\, The Who\, David Bowie\, and The Kinks)

SUMMARY:Neko Case Fall Tour 2024
DESCRIPTION:Is there another songwriter so fearless and inventive?  Bending decades of pop music into new shapes\, Neko Case wields her voice like a kiss and her metaphors like a baseball bat. She has cast the fishing net of her career wide—from Seattle and Vancouver to Chicago and Stockholm\, setting up her home base on a farm in New England. \n\nGathering power year after year\, Neko sings with the fierce abandon of a newborn infant crying in a basket in the woods. Since escaping the labels of country and Americana\, the gorgeous train-whistle vocals of her early career sit submerged in her later style\, where their ghost can appear any minute. When her voice jumps an octave\, it’s almost visible\, like sparks at night. “I never knew where I wanted to go or what I wanted to do with my voice\,” she says\, “but I just wanted to do it so bad.”\n\nWith a career spanning over twenty years\, she has famously collaborated with The New Pornographers and Case/Lang/Veirs in addition to releasing many critically acclaimed solo albums\, including ‘Fox Confessor Brings The Flood’\, ‘Middle Cyclone’ and most recently 2018’s ‘Hell-On’ in addition to the career-spanning retrospective ‘Wild Creatures’ that was released in 2022. She also writes weekly pieces for her popular Substack ‘Entering The Lung’\, where she ruminates on the nature near her rural home\, life on tour\, her pets\, and anything else that comes to mind. \n\nNeko is doing it on her own terms\, but the legacy she’s building is one that can stand up to music made by any other solo artist in her lifetime. Don’t look away; you never know what might happen. “I’m just trying\,” she says\, “to be myself as hard as I can.”
