The Englert Presents The Wood Brothers featuring DUG Live @ The Englert Wednesday, November 12th @ 7:30 PM | | | "The Wood Brothers – one of the more dynamic trios you’ll hear today – put on a euphoric show featuring mind blowing musicianship and uplifting arrangements and lyrics. Oliver’s distinct, raspy, honest vocals are perfectly complemented by his little brother Chris’s melodic and groovy bass lines (like Flea playing an upright, sometimes with a bow, the sound reminiscent of The Band, Anders Osborne, Bill Withers and at times acoustic Chili Peppers). Jano Rix (drums, percussion, keys, shuitar) ties the sound together masterfully, enhancing every song with clever, tasteful beats and accompaniment," (Americana Highways). | | The Englert Presents
Nuovo Testamento Live @ The James Wednesday, November 12th @ 6:30 PM | | | "[Nuovo Testamento] make a dizzily joyous take on cheesy, emotional Euro-dance. They pull influences from multiple generations and subgenres, from freestyle and hi-NRG all the way up to '00s trance, but there's nothing ironic about them. They're just making dizzy, fun dance music... it was cool just to hear a bunch of former punks, veterans of bands like Sheer Mag and Tørsö, playing this kind of frothy and euphoric music," (Stereogum). | | The Englert Presents
From the Top of the Hill: Beaker Street Live!
with Big MO
Live @ The Englert Friday, November 14th, 7:30 PM | | | Beaker Street, filled the airwaves with the latest underground sounds and long cuts that shaped a generation... When The Beaker Brothers Band first gathered back in 2006, the goal was to recreate the magic they had experienced when hearing the music during their younger years. The improvisational nature of the songs they heard informed and fueled their collective vision. They had all listened to BeakerStreet while coming of age across the Midwest and still seek to recreate the songs that still inspire them. | | The Englert + Great Plains Action Society Presents
Truthsgiving featuring Audiopharmacy Live @ The Englert Saturday, November 15th, 7:30 PM | | More than a world hip-hop ensemble, Audiopharmacy is a community arts collective dedicated to the proposition that love, music and deeply rooted cultural expression are the path to collective liberation. Growing out of the fertile soil of hip-hop, Audiopharmacy creates music and art that transcends any particular genre, intricately fusing turntablism, live instrumentation, global musical styles, poetic lyricism and indigenous prayers. The ensemble weaves together a vibrant multicultural cast of musicians, visual artists, designers, poets and composers with roots indigenous to Turtle Island (North America), Africa, Asia, the Pacific Islands, South America, India and Europe to create a singular experience that grows out of traditional forms while embodying a holistic vision of a better future.

Molly Tuttle featuring Joshua Ray Walker + Cecilia Castleman Live @ The Englert Sunday, November 16th, 7:30 PM | | "With the new album and new musical approach comes a new band. After dissolving Golden Highway, Tuttle gathered a new, all-female ensemble that can take on both the pop demands of the “So Long Little Miss Sunshine” material as well her more bluegrass-dominate songs...Tuttle may be well-prepared to take on the pop world, but is pop music ready for her? Well, if the company she keeps is any indication, then the answer is definitely yes. She found herself performing in Nashville earlier this year at both the Ryman Auditorium and the Grand Ole Opry with Ringo Starr (who, admittedly, was promoting a country album, “Look Up,” that Tuttle was part of.) Then as recently as July, she was wound up onstage in Montana gigging with Dave Matthews and Lukas Nelson," (Kentucky).

Rodney Crowell featuring William Elliott Whitmore Live @ The Englert Wednesday, November 19th, 7:30 PM | | "Crowell’s musical DNA has always been something of a mashup: the literary sophistication of Nashville songcraft merged with the restless energy of rock and the soulful grit of country’s margins. His songs possess a remarkable narrative depth, populated by complex characters navigating love’s complications and life’s disappointments with equal measures of wisdom and vulnerability. Crowell has always been a boundary crosser, crafting songs that feel equally at home on country radio, college playlists, and late-night jukeboxes. His distinctive voice, weathered but supple, serves as the perfect vehicle for his storytelling, capable of conveying both world-weary resignation and infectious joy, sometimes within the same verse," (Americana Highways).
