Ken Chapple started supergroup Wrealist in 2025 to play original music, blending American roots with the groove-heavy improvisation of funk, jazz, and rock, carving out a sound that’s both soulful and unpredictable. Think Medeski Martin Scofield &amp; Wood with lyrics—earthy yet experimental, grounded in tradition but always exploring new territory. Ken Chapple thought about what he wanted to say, how he wanted it to play it and it shows. – No Depression
His songs carry themes of love and following the heart. – NYS Music<a href="https://View Tickets &amp; More Info" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More Info

A backpacker of more than 1,000 miles through the Andes, Rockies, and Appalachians, she has volunteered to treat hundreds of hemlock trees across Western North Carolina and translated educational materials into Spanish for her community. She wrote a song for the award-winning film Coyote and another that was played for President Jimmy Carter in his final weeks. “Whether for a crime victim, an injured raccoon, or an aphid-infested hemlock, Miriam Allen shows up with a song and an open heart.” Ty Gilpin – SHIFT Music Services<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/161148/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More Info

5J Barrow Inspiration seeped through the windows of apartment 5J on Barrow Street looking out over the Hudson River in NYC’s Greenwich Village, where singer-songwriters and Broadway performers, Eryn Murman and Jason Hite, soaked up the energy and passion of musicians, painters, poets and writers who created the Village vibe. Together, they paid tribute to those creative spirits and named their band 5j Barrow, writing music and lyrics with a unique folk/rock sound, touring as a duo, and often picking up Drew Jones on bass and Gerard Canonico on drums. The band has inspired audiences with soulful music, evocative imagery, and lyrics that touch the heart, from the historic Apollo Theater to the open air of Washington Square Park, from the streets of New Orleans to the Rocky Mountains, from California wine country to New England forests.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/161150/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More Info

– LIMITED PATIO SEATING IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVE Morgan Geer of Drunken Prayer
Drunken Prayer transcends the bounds of Americana music. Morgan Geer writes songs that could emerge from a highly blissed-out biker bar or a swampy ashram.
The new Drunken Prayer record, Thy Burdens, is an homage to the fiery music of the church. Partnering with Drive-By Truckers’ Bobby Matt Patton, the pair recorded this album in North Mississippi with some of their friends from Appalachia and the Delta including members of MJ Lenderman’s band, Band of Heathens, Jimbo Mathis’ group, and Wednesday.
In 2026 The Deslondes from New Orleans included Geer’s “Cordelia” on their covers album of influential songs. Alongside like minded artists as Johnny Cash, Swamp Dogg, and Clifton Chenier, Glide Magazine says ”That song alone justifies this album’s existence.”
Morgan Geer’s poignant and wickedly funny music is revered across the fringe of Americana. Rennie Sparks of The Handsome Family said “Morgan Geer is the real thing – a songwriter with a heart as deep as the Marianas Trench and sensitive as the wet hands of a raccoon.” Geer also plays guitar in the pioneering alt-country band Freakwater and collaborates with members of Butthole Surfers, Melvins and Ween. He started using the moniker “Drunken Prayer” after a chance conversation about rats with Tom Waits.
Drunken Prayer is now a stalwart of the burgeoning scene in Asheville, NC. Morgan Geer has recorded and toured with some of the cornerstones of what we call modern Americana music.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/157153/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More Info

HORSE FEATHERS In 2026, Horse Feathers’ debut album, Words Are Dead, celebrates its 20th anniversary. Kill Rock Stars is set to release a deluxe reissue that will be completely remastered and pressed on an exclusive vinyl color. It will include a replica of their original six-song demo CD in the package, along with a deluxe foil-stamped LP jacket. To support the release, Horse Feathers’ current ensemble of Justin Ringle (guitar, vocals, banjo), Nathan Crockett (violin, saw), Halli Anderson of River Whyless (violin, vocals), Kati Claborn of Blind Pilot (banjo, vocals, clarinet), and Luke Ydstie also of Blind Pilot (bass, cello, vocals) faithfully recreate the mood of the original release with taut dynamics and sensitive arrangements.
In the years following Words Are Dead, Horse Feathers quietly built a body of work defi ned by patience and evolution rather than reinvention. Records like House With No Home, Thistled Spring, and Cynic’s New Year expanded their sonic palette without abandoning the restraint that fi rst set them apart. By the time of Appreciation, the band had begun to open its sound outward, introducing richer arrangements and a subtle warmth that suggested growth without rupture. Through it all, Ringle remained a steady center, writing songs that favored emotional precision over spectacle.
The reissue of Words Are Dead does not attempt to rewrite that history. Instead, it brings the origin point back into focus, offering a rare chance to hear where it all began while recognizing how far the project has traveled since.
Revisiting the album now, with two decades of distance, reveals not just a beginning but a foundation. The same careful interplay, the same attention to space and tone, still anchors the band’s work today. In that sense, the reissue feels less like a retrospective and more like a continuation. A reminder that some records do not age so much as they wait for the right moment to be heard again.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/150552/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More Info
