Blue Strawberry

Shanna in a Dress and Kyra Gordon light up the stage this coming Sunday at the Blue Strawberry (364 N. Boyle Ave.) The 7 pm show is part of the Singer-Songwriter Sunday concert series at the Blue Strawberry. For tickets and show information see www.bluestrawberrystl.comIf you wandered into a Kyra Gordon show, you’d be struck by her powerful vocals, deft keyboard touch, and magnetic storytelling. Her debut album Soul Of A Showgirl charted #1 on the RMR’s Americana chart, and her follow-up Traveler earned international praise from outlets like EARMILK and Americana Highways. With a sound that blends alt-country, blues, folk, and rock, this indie artist continues to grow a devoted following.
 “There is no way this woman is going to be boxed in. Songs like ‘Nashville You Fooled Me’ to ‘F U Cancer’ shows a new arrival who is making up her own rules. It’s all here.”- Bill Bentley; Americana Highways

Shanna in a Dress says what everyone has felt but no one else will say and you’ll get an uncensored journey of clever humor and heartbreak, extreme candor, and a hefty side of entertainment at her shows. This witty wordsmith is known for taking you on an emotional roller coaster, sometimes within the same song. Think John Prine mixed with Ingrid Michaelson with a twist of Phoebe Buffay from Friends all wrapped up in a sweet voice accented by guitar, piano, and ukulele. She’s as real as it gets, as anyone who follows her on Facebook or Instagram knows.
Shanna started her career at the University of Virginia, lived in Boulder for nearly a decade and now keeps her fun music flowing out of St. Louis unless she’s touring the US or Europe. You can’t get the same Shanna in a Dress show twice with her spontaneous banter and playful stage presence. She manages to teeter the line masterfully of taking on complex subject matters with smart, bold, and yet accessible lyrics. Her charisma and boldly honest songs are full of interesting language and wordplay and delight audiences of all ages.
In 2020 alone, Shanna was a winner in the Kerrville New Folk competition, winner of the Great River Folk Fest Song Competition, a finalist at Songwriter Serenade, and a Grassy Hill Emerging Artist at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. During the summer of 2021, Shanna bicycled from Seattle to Boston while music-touring on her epic “Tour de Dress,” playing over 60 shows from coast to coast and partnering up with the global non-profit Pangaea World Foundation.
In May 2022, her debut record “Robot” was released after a wildly successful crowdfunding campaign. She has most recently been seen gracing the stages of the Kerrville Folk Festival, Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, Black Bear Americana Fest, Great River Folk Fest, and the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville.

The Hawthorn

Alternative Rock Since 1999, international punk band Gogol Bordello, led by Ukrainian frontman Eugene Hütz, has been filling up rooms with an energy that could run a whole city. A lifelong lover of the punk scene growing up in Ukraine, Hütz finally found himself where he felt he belonged, in New York’s Lower East Side in the late 90s, where he went to shows and later performed at the legendary CBGB. Crashing at friends’ apartments and playing acoustic sets in NYC Ukrainian bars, his group steadily grew to an 8 piece multicultural band, combining Eastern, Western and Latin traditions. Since then the band has lit up stages around the world alongside System of a Down, Primus, Rancid, Dropkick Murphys, dueted with Regina Spektor, and cut albums with legends Rick Rubin, Steve Albini and a forthcoming album with Nic Launay.
Russia's war in Ukraine is personal for Eugene &amp; the band, who have been tirelessly advocating for Ukrainian solidarity, partnering with Nova Ukraine, ArtDopomoga, and putting together benefits with Patti Smith, The Hold Steady, Suzanne Vega, Magnetic Fields, Matisyahu and more. Additionally, they collaborated with Bernard Sumner on a cover of the Angelic Upstarts “Solidarity” with proceeds going to the Ukrainian Soldiers Recovery.
In 2024, the Vice documentary Scream of My Blood: A Gogol Bordello Story (Executive Producer Liev Schreiber) won multiple awards at film festivals such as DOC LA, Tribeca Film Festival and Warsaw International Film Festival and barnstormed across the USA with Eugene and Sergey Ryabtsev performing and doing Q&amp;As. Hütz has also appeared in arthouse films such as Liev Schreiber’s Everything Is Illuminated with Elijah Wood, Filth and Wisdom helmed by Madonna.
Gogol Bordello’s latest record, We Mean It, Man!, came out in March 2026. For this album, Hütz set out to blend post-punk textures and aggro to Gogol Bordello’s free-wheeling gypsy-punk. He chose to work with the production team of Nick Launay (Gang of Four, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Idles) and Adam “Atom” Greenspan (Nick Cave, Idles, Flogging Molly) to accomplish this goal. Together with his long running band, they knocked out twelve super punchy and hook-laden songs. The title track, “We Mean It, Man!” is all pile-driving punk intensity which crescendoes into no-wave sax skronk. “No Time For Idiots” is a Strummer/Jones-esque riff-punk with a giant chorus payoff. “Life Is Possible Again” voices an optimism against the dread of the Ukraine war. “Solidarity” features New Order’s Bernard Sumner on the Angelic Upstart’s Solidarność-punk anthem updated to address the Ukraine war effort. This is the album and political message the world needs now.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/151637/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

“Davina Sowers creates her own Americana mishmash — a little Amy Winehouse-worthy neo-soul here, a little Great American Songbook-influenced songcraft there.” - Rolling Stone Magazine “Davina and the Vagabonds combat heartache with sugar and sass." - DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE Davina Sowers and the Vagabonds have created a stir on the national music scene with their high-energy live shows, level A musicianship, sharp-dressed professionalism, and Sowers’ commanding stage presence. With influences ranging from Fats Domino and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band to Aretha Franklin and Tom Waits, the band is converting audiences one show at a time, from Vancouver to Miami and across Europe. Much like the music, the story spurns era, expectation, and classification. The often unbelievable, sometimes harrowing, and wholly inspiring journey of Davina Sowers gave birth to her eponymous band Davina and The Vagabonds in 2004. As the tale goes, she grew up in the economically depressed Allegheny town of Altoona, PA, which she now describes as “awesome in the industrial era, but horrible for high school.” She was adopted by her much older stepfather when he was in his 80s; he passed away when she was just 13. Through him and his Edison phonograph, she first heard The Ink Spots, Sidney Bechet, Louis Armstrong and Louis Prima, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and many others. “Great man. He was my angel and still is,” she says. On her own, she vividly recalls hours in front of the record player where she religiously spun Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Simon and Garfunkel records belonging to her folk singer mom. To this day, Davina still refers to music as “my first and eternal love.” Despite early dalliances with classical piano and guitar, she developed a heavy drug habit in high school, which morphed into heroin dependency, left her homeless, sent her in and out of jail, and brought on all manner of trouble. Kicking dope on the streets, she “got clean, started the band, and worked [her] ass off every day since.” Davina and the Vagabonds shine every time they play. To date, they’ve performed in forty-five states, twelve European countries, and two Canadian provinces. Not to mention, they’ve earned feverish acclaim from the Chicago Tribune, NPR, and more in addition to performing on BBC’s international favorite late-night program Later… With Jools Holland and appearing on PBS’s Bluegrass Underground.Happens on the following Dates: Sep 25, 2026, 7:30pm to 9:00pm Timezone: Central Time (US &amp; Canada) Sep 26, 2026, 7:30pm to 9:00pm Timezone: Central Time (US &amp; Canada) <a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/144689/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

Citizen
Post-Hardcore
17 years into an impressive career, Citizen still feel like underdogs who have never quite fit in. The band’s persistent sonic evolution and refusal to make the same record twice has earned them a reputation as one of the most consistently captivating bands in modern rock music. But following your own path often means walking it alone, and their unlikely rise from a band of Toledo high schoolers to long-running headliners capable of selling out shows around the world has been hard-earned. It's precisely this commitment to their craft that has led to their new album, Halcyon Blues. It’s a dynamic and confident culmination of all that’s come before, making it crystal clear that for all their sonic restlessness, Citizen have always known exactly who they are.
From the start, the band–vocalist Mat Kerekes, guitarist Nick Hamm, bassist Eric Hamm, along with newer members guitarist Mason Mercer and drummer Ben Russin–were steadfastly determined to follow their creativity wherever it led. Over the years they deftly moved through raw emo, menacing post-hardcore, anthemic alternative, garage-y indie pop, and so much more. Now Halcyon Blues brings elements from throughout their entire catalog together into a singular and instantly satisfying record that just sounds like Citizen.
In the band’s earlier years, their sonic shifts were seen as a bug rather than a feature. “We’ve never easily known where we belong,” explains Kerekes. “When we were coming up we’d try to get tours and people would ask verbatim, ‘What kind of band is this?’ We were the ugly ducklings for a long time, and maybe we still are, but I like that we figured out how to stand on our own.” And the band has also stood the test of time. While many of their contemporaries from the 2010s emo boom burned bright but also quickly burned out, Citizen’s singular focus on pushing themselves musically allowed them to grow steadily–and for their audience to grow with them. “A lot of bands try to do anything they can to be the hottest thing of the moment and we’ve just never operated like that,” says Nick Hamm. “We don't think in moments, or months, or record cycles. Some bands end up getting sick of whatever walls they exist in, but I see Citizen as this long term creative project where there’s always somewhere new to go, and that’s kept me exhilarated through all these years. And we’ve trusted that people who like our band will want to come along. A lot of people grew with us and we’re really thankful for that.”
Where past Citizen albums have felt like direct responses to the preceding release, Halcyon Blues sounds like the group wrapping their arms around their entire catalog and carrying it forward. Recorded by Kerekes in his home studio in Toledo, then mixed by Tom Lorde-Alge (U2, Weezer, Blink182), the record taps into the urgency and ferocity of Citizen’s early albums while embracing the epic scope and undeniable hooks of their more recent work. “I think the band is always in conversation with itself,” explains Hamm. “Early on we tried to set it up so that Citizen could be whatever we want it to be, so we’ve always been ready and willing for the music to change as we change as people. But at the end of the day we are still the same people making music together, the same people that made Youth and all the rest.”
Being those people hasn’t always been easy, for Kerekes in particular, and Halcyon Blues finds him simultaneously reckoning with personal upheaval while finding a sense of security within the band for the first time. “When you're doing what you always dreamed of doing, you really don't understand why it’s not always fulfilling,” he explains. “There’s been times where I've thought about leaving the band, but the Youth anniversary shows were a real gamechanger for me. I would walk out on stage and look out at the front row and see people’s faces that I recognized because they’ve been coming to Citizen shows for a decade. It made me sort of feel like this is the coolest thing ever. Why would I even for a second not be stoked on it? From that moment on I've just been all in. This is who I am and this is what I do.”

On September 29, 2026, the Troy Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution will dedicate the grave of Sarah Cotton Murphy, whose headstone was recently restored by chapter members.
Sarah Cotton married Hezekiah Murphy on April 17, 1794, in Nelson County, Kentucky. She was the daughter of John and his second wife, Elizabeth Smith Cotton. John Cotton provided material aid during the American Revolution. Hezekiah was a Revolutionary War soldier who served under Capt. Murdick and later under General Smallwood at Yorktown. Both John Cotton and Hezekiah Murphy are recognized by the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Sarah and Hezekiah Murphy had 8 children. The family eventually moved to Lincoln County, Missouri, in 1831, where Sarah died on October 23, 1856. Hezekiah died in 1842 in Nelson County, Kentucky, where he is buried.
An America 250 grant from the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution provided some funds to complete the restoration. “Honoring a pioneer woman whose life bridged the founding of our nation and the settlement of Missouri has been our job,” said Chapter member Renee Sydnor Boyd, who spearheaded the project.
Over the summer, the Chapter located, excavated, and reconstructed Sarah’s tombstone, which had been concealed beneath cemetery soil since at least 1972. The Chapter is partnering with American Legion Post 94 and Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8828 for the funds for this project and this event. Troy Mayor Quentin Laws, a veteran and military historian, has agreed to unveil the stone and offer brief remarks. Missouri DAR State Regent, Becky Osborne will also attend.
The service will begin at 5:15 p.m. at Troy City Cemetery. All are welcome as the chapter honors this Real Daughter of a Patriot.
For more information about the DAR contact Regent, Mercedes Bilow at 636-448-8819. You may also find information about the local DAR chapter on the web at http://www.mssdar.org/troy.
