SHINGLERS
12.16 6PM
Shinglers is a project that started with a chance meeting in West Texas, when members Jeremy Brandelik and Colton Cerny found they shared a common love for old school country and cosmic Americana music. After some drunkenly spirited conversations about the virtues of Jerry Jeff Walker, Doug Sahm, Buck Owens and Steve Young, a friendship was struck. Upon another chance meeting back in Austin, they joined forces with friends Kyle Harris and Mississippi Keith Young. After securing pedal steeler Zack Wiggs to round out the lineup and cutting their teeth in bars in and out of Austin, they began writing songs, combining their country influences and the mind expanding ideals of old Austin to quickly become a powerhouse live act. A must hear for any country roller.
With the release of Cosmic Range Oven, the band’s first LP (April 13th 2021), "they seem to have come out of nowhere as a fully formed honky-tonk force to be reckoned with, delivering nine original songs that hearken back to the glory days of Gram Parsons’ circa-1970 band the Flying Burrito Brothers."
DARCI CARLSON
12.16 8PM
Outlaw Country Queen Darci Carlson is a high energy, no non-sense Singer Songwriter from Seattle WA with a decade long presence in the PNW music scene. This DIY firecracker of a front woman has performed around the US and beyond not only as a country artist, but as a lead guitar player for her all-girl punk rock band The Dolly Rottens, as well as a co-fronting Bassist and Singer for ‘Weird Western Cowboy Band’ Brent Amaker Deathsquad. Darci is also known for her involvement as a model and actress with the ZZTop crew from 2012-2015 on the "Gang of Outlaws Tour" as the sassy pistol packin’ vixen "The Girl".
Darci delivers a true country performance of foot stompin' originals and classic country favorites drenched in hardcore twang. This isn’t Punk Country or a vanity act. This is a no non-sense, throwback, true country affair.
A natural story teller, her songs highlight tales of her truth, youth, and lawless adventures, no matter how ‘wild, reckless & crazy’. Her smokey sweet lived-in voice reminiscent of the after taste of a shot of whiskey, has been compared to other leading ladies in the Country and Rock Genres such as Bonnie Raitt, Tammy Wynette, Patty Loveless, Miranda Lambert, and Courtney Love.
Recognized for her devotion to Roots-Americana and renouncing the “pop country” sound, she is a 3 time nominee and 2017 Outlaw Female of The Year with Honky Tonk Hero Dale Watson's Ameripolitan Music Awards out of Austin Texas and Memphis Tennessee.
From smokey neon lit dive bars and honky tonks to starlit outdoor festival nights, Darci has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with National acts such as Shooter Jennings, Midland, Clint Black, Lonestar, The Steelwoods, Paul Cauthen, Ward Davis,
The Supersuckers, Sunny Sweeny, Whiskey Meyers, Randy Rogers Band, Wayne 'The Train' Hankcock, Mickey and The Motorcars, Roger Clyne and The Peacemakers, Shane Smith and The Saints, and Nikki Lane to name a few.
