Fayetteville’s own Jude Brothers is celebrating the release of her third and most ambitious album, “Dogwood Maiden Voyage” at George’s, October 10th- with a lot of help from her friends! Brothers will be performing the songs from the new record in the form of an extra long set with string accompaniment and harmonies by Chloe Caemmerer, Coral Bradshaw and Allison Williams.
Fellow Gar Hole Records musician and anti-authoritarian country star Nick Shoulders will be opening the show with a solo set of his anti-empire yodels and croons for a kinder future.
The cherry on top- a closing celebratory dance party with Northwest Arkansas’ favorite house & disco DJ, DJ Girlfriend at the helm of the ship!
We hope you will join us at the one and only Majestic Lounge for this night of all local talent and friendship.
Jude Brothers is a freak folk singer-songwriter from Northwest Arkansas, inspired by the regional folk music of their Ozark home, while always reaching for the roots therein and branches thereout. Their sound is an eclectic blend of traditional sensibilities and contemporary concerns, a feral strangeness and delicate sweetness, an unnerving ancientness and an endearing naivety - an artist comfortable navigating their own contradictions. Brothers offers old school folk heads a taste of timelessness, evocative lyricism, and unparalleled vocal stylings over a bed of whirling harp & guitar melodies.
All Bad, the latest album from Nick Shoulders, ultimately encapsulates everything that makes Shoulders’ inimitable form of country music so vital: a heady balance of dazzling musicianship and punk defiance, coupled with gritty eccentricity and a generational connection to the roots of the genre. With a singing style inherited from his family’s vocal lineage, Nick’s songs achieve the rare feat of imparting difficult truths while inciting a certain joyful abandon, balancing a sound forged by years of hard travel with a heartfelt reverence for the origins of country music.
DJ Girlfriend spins disco, house, funk music in the Ozarks. Their working mantra is “disco feminism is for everybody.”
