font-size: medium;">I needed these songs before they were written. I didn’t know how much I needed them, and it seems Alynda Segarra knew they needed to write them, because the world needed them. The world needed the new songs by Hurray for the Riff Raff. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">I needed these songs in constant rotation since the album dropped 12 days ago. I needed these songs on headphones, on car trips, for ugly crying. I suddenly knew that I needed to hear these songs performed live by a tight and energetic band.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">This means I needed to find a secondary market ticket to a sold out show. I needed to make spontaneous travel plans to one source of the Riff Raff origin story, New York City, specifically Brooklyn. I needed the sense of hungry trance and religious possession that provided the focus to make these plans, as ridiculous as that seemed at the moment. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">I achingly needed to hear Alynda Segarra sing these songs, play their acoustic guitar, and express gobs of humble gratitude in their brief remarks between songs. I especially needed to hear Alynda chant to the “rocks and stones” right along with the “books and poems” in “Vetiver.” May we all chant to the things that ground us and give us hope.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">I emphatically needed to hear Alynda sing the lyrics in person to “Snake Plant,” this raggedy outlaw and addicts’ glorious tragedy rant prayer anthem hymn. I needed specifically to hear about all the daily life stuff that hobo travelers deal with just to survive. We need this song to survive, so we all needed to sing along with, with some arms raised, to this lyric invocation:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">“Tattoo with a needle and thread.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Most of our old friends are dead,</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">TEST YOUR DRUGS</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">REMEMBER NARCAN</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">There's a war on the people,</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">What don't you understand?</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">There's fentanyl in everything,</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Don't become an angel with a broken wing.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">We need you back down here on earth,</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Nothing is as painful as birth.”</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Like we need that stanza, like right now. We need that song sung and loud. We need it in spraypaint stencil and graffiti. We need “Snake Plant” in the cities and the towns and in the trailers and the shacks and in the squats and on the street and all the places they mention in the song, line after line. We need to remember that harm reduction can come in a poem and a song to tattoo on the soul of too many addicts dying and we can finally say we want you to live and we can sing you this song, okay? </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">I desperately needed Alynda to sing “Ogallala,” to bring the despair and dread of these days around to the unlikely hope and holler and even dance despite and because of it all. I need to hear them say that they are still here, that we are still living brightly and boldly and beware. We needed to stop saying we were born in the wrong time and embrace our time, as the conclusion to this song so deeply and defiantly does:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">“I used to think I was born into the wrong generation</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">But now I know I made it right on time</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">To watch the world burn”</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">I prayerfully needed Alynda to quote Palestinian poetry in the closing rousing rowdy glory of “Pa’lante.” This was already a song about claiming one’s own narrative, with a nod to the ancestors and Segarra’s specifically Nuyorican lineage. This song leaves the audience ready to get back and get out and do their own work. We needed the energy to internalize and energize and carry us out into the damp late winter Brooklyn streets and to our homes and communities. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">I needed the sore feet from these boots to remind me to always wear my comfortable walking shoes with insoles to concerts, because I am old. As I contemplate how I am too old for this, Alynda reminded us that time is not real. I needed them to say that.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">I needed a certain t-shirt but they were sold out in my size, so I settled for a sticker. I needed the promo poster tacked on a venue wall, so I helped myself toward the end of the show. I needed this immersive, completely communal, revelatory experience in the live and narrative universe being created by Hurray For The Riff Raff. </span></div></span><p></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">

In this season of over-listening and so many things to love, you just wanted one more album to destroy you with a soggy ugly cry, but now it is happening again and again. Such is the prolific unkempt bent of ragged American folk music during this slow show apocalypse. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">It is only 6am, and I am weeping into my first cup of coffee in hopes that someone somewhere will start their day with the new Hurray For The Riffraff record called “The Past Is Still Alive,” and that the set’s threadbare hope and relentless grief will give to that strange somebody else: such a catharsis as this. In their aching sense of their poetic song lineage, the album opens with a momentary nod to Neil Young’s “Unknown Legend,” and Alynda Segarra’s word-turning Nuyorican-Beat debts to Bob Dylan, Eileen Myles, and Pedro Pietri drop-in-and-out-of-lines that stitch themselves to the listener’s soul with the superglue of forever human grit and hunger. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The “songwriter as poet” was a big idea and book topic during previous folk revivals, but has seemed perhaps too simplistic since. But then Dylan grabbed the greatest literary award on earth, and we are talking about singer poets again. Just recently, a musician and a scholar clarified with the “poetic song verse” concept to always situate the lyrical poetics in their comprehensive ineffable sonic package. Alynda Segarra is a master class in these sung poetic bursts. With listen-after-listen to this new joint, it was stunning-stanza-after-stunning-stanza that would slay me in my shoes, take my breath away, and rip my beating heart right out of its chest. So many words on this record are ready made for graffiti, for postcards, for tattoos, and yes, for social media sharing. It already feels like these lyrics are scars on the ancestor-tree-trunks of our lives. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Why do these characters suddenly know me better than I know myself and why I am thinking about my dead father too -- and why I am crying again, but I am also dancing too. Maybe it is because I left Detroit in ways that Segarra left New York and those same Woody Guthrie post-Kerouac hobo yearnings define my life too, as do all the compassionate weirdos and nomadic drifts and cultic solidarity in our marginal niches of defiance and desire. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">I can imagine other poet songwriters have tried to write a record this timeless for these times (actually have a few that I would keep in the same revered company as this), but there’s gentle but ceaseless gravity to these themes and to these lines, whereas this record joins its enclave of myth and legend already great, as if it was already written and already here, as coherent of a prayer to address our collective incoherence as I can dream or imagine. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Maybe climate grief and familial grief are the same thing? Maybe we were really born to watch our nation dissolve and our world burn with such wide-eyed vulnerable open-armed intensity? Maybe when my counselor acknowledged that my music fandom was a highly reliable and recommended form of self-care, he intuitively understood how a record like this will help me cope with things that I otherwise couldn’t manage?</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">As our counterculture pasts and fates will have it, I remember encountering the younger Segarra as the fabulously-fringe traveler-character who populates these songs, when I first saw them sing at a rural southern DIY queer music festival around 20 years ago. As they would periodically pierce the indie music veil and as critics would sing their praises, I would whisper to myself: I remember them; I knew about them back when; I really like them. I would always say that I need to see them live, but then, I would just miss them. I finally caught their hometown set at the 2022 New Orleans JazzFest, when they were out supporting the “LIFE ON EARTH” album. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Over the decades, I would learn one or more acclaimed tracks from each new Hurray For The Riff Raff drop every few years, but I never gave their catalog the deep-dive or hours-long headphone rabbit-hole that it deserves and requires. Until now. Now I am falling in, all in. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal;

font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I keep craving and coming back to folk-punk today for the same honesty, the same over-sharing, the same grit and gravity that doesn’t do “toxic positivity,” but does do radical self-care and inclusive community and unconditional love as revolutionary survival skills. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38;

white-space-collapse: preserve;">Enter the artist known as “Average Joey,” as one of the more real and relatable one-mand-bands in current folk-punk, a person who is </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">doing all the things</span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">, and the things include a nomadic path, in a modestly tricked-out camper van, a life of voluntary subsistence that is ravenous with lived poetry encounters and festive eruptions, out on the margins. The political and existential crises have shifted a little in the intervening decades since my first folk-punk fits, that is, things have gotten even worse, but the ache for love and community to cope with daily life, while agitating and subverting “the powers,” has not.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I’d seen folk-punk coming on as a genre, long before I was fully immersed in Against Me! and Defiance, Ohio records and organizing a folk-punk festival on one August night in a rural Tennessee barn around 2003, because even before that I was reading </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Boxcar Bertha</span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> and watching my friends hop trains while we explored “the vanlife,” long before it was called the vanlife. We were ready for folk-punk as its all-encompassing thing that it would become, as soon as we saw a punk with a fiddle, a traveler kid with a banjo, maybe camping with friends on their communal land in remote California, maybe busking for dollars and change on the Asheville streets. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Folk-punk helped me survive my last decade on the rural commune, helped me navigate the grief of war, and was as-safe-a-place-as-any to “act out” my last years of active addiction. Folk-punk was there when I got in heaps of trouble at work, when I wondered if the meager material and social benefits of “selling out” and getting a “real job” were actually worth it after all. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Not unlike the account called “folk punk dad” and their great podcast “Back on the Grind,” I am that graying folk-punk grand-dad who still craves the visceral salve to every moral crisis that folk-punk-addresses. I am not necessarily saying folk-punk is a “new religious movement,” but as a generous form of outward anarchist praxis, it might be in the themes it explores and the mutual aid it practices. And now, the new Average Joey joint arrives to break and remake the hippypunk heart of me as spiritual seeker in the holy headphones, to supplement the typical places where one heals, in counseling sessions, on yoga mats, and at 12-step-meetings.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I first discovered Joey on the “Roots, Rednecks, and Radicals” podcast and was all-in right away, immediately blowing up their inboxes on multiple accounts with fanboy appreciation. Songs like “Cliche” or “Bro, I Told You I Contain Multitudes” or “Anarchists Who Don’t Do Anything” had me tapping along and whispering “that’s right” and “amen.” </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">A quick scan of their web presence, and I learned they were also a prolific poet and zine-publisher, even releasing an audiobook of radical analyses of our collective context. Next thing you know, we are co-organizing a gig for Average Joey, in a storefront Unitarian Universalist church, in this-here micropolitan-college- town, because the venue Joey had played at previously when in these parts, that brewery had been essentially shut down by a coalition of cops, actual nazis, and anxious landlords, after said venue did the next right thing, by hosting one too many drag brunches.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Joey’s latest (Impermanence, out everywhere since 2/2/24) knocks the listener from the first bursts of the opening track called “Hello, Hell.” The raunchy keyboards get saucy from the gate, and it’s clear some crazed circus caravan has rolled into the town square. The piano suggests there might be a roadhouse saloon nearby, because how did that hobo fit that Steinway in his rucksack anyway? The tattooed-dancing-girl-vaudeville-vibes immediately made me think of mismatched striped stockings and early 00s Dresden Dolls and maybe crave some episodes of </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Carnival Row</span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">. The entire set is so laced with wonky samples, as to almost make us want to listen to this by candle-light on headphones, in the wee hours while microdosing (don’t worry my fellow sober pals, my default setting is psych-enough to </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">not</span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> require microdosing). </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">This 12-song and 45-minute album is a weird monk’s mindmeld, and everyone knows that Teacher On The Radio mainlines the mystical in most everything, but this is next-level real heart balm, the sacred seeking in practically every song surely gives this album a moral center and a narrative arc. As I finally scribble this review-essay from a modest Mardi Gras on the eve of the Lenten season, I am drawn again and again to the ripping revelation contained in “WTFWJF?” </span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Inspired by Joey’s readings in radical and historical Christianity, the opening lines lay out the thesis of my religious deconstruction that began in 2020: “Christ was crucified for sedition/Not for your sins.” That is, following Jesus meant public sedition against police brutality, not private atonements and liberal hand-wringing. Then with a refrain, Joey warns us about the war within every imperial church, one which spirit is surely losing: “Who do you serve/A Higher Purpose or authority?” Then: “Who do you worship/A Higher Power or powers that be.” I don’t practice Lent like I used to, but I reckon every leftist-Jesus-lover could gain strength from meditating on this track during the coming fast between feasts.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">“Jesus Christ & Diogenes Walk Into A Bar” follows that, and tracks like “Indifference” and “Impermanence” and “Zen Tanks” and “No Thing,” all take different angles and many takes to explain our endless existential crises. The conclusion of “Impermanence” places the “poetic prophet” face-to-face with militaries and police and admits the difficult: “The pen is not quite as mighty/as the truth/That a Big Man With A Gun /Will do what he wants to.” Such honest admissions are also found in “Toxic & Fragile.” Talk about accepting some stuff that I cannot change. Talk about what is already one of my favorite new albums, released so far in 2024.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Look for Joey down the road. Imagine that he bags and instrument cases and canine companion are packed into the van and who knows who he’ll meet or what he’ll see as one called to the vagabond path, like the circuit-rider gospel barkers and painted carnies and holy medicine shows of old. This road show is because of Joey, a mystic-poet spun from a milieu that might include Walt Whitman and Willi Carlisle and always Dylan and maybe the Fugs or Holy Modal Rounders, not to mention their many folk-punk fellow travelers, and this all translates to politically-grounded transcendental troubadour with a box overflowing with left-adjacent empowering fanzines and stickers and patches, instead of gospel tracts. all available at the merch table. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">He’s humble about the itinerant singer’s actual mission while the world burns around us, the grief about avoidable tragedies that won’t keep Joey from trekking on. Amid it all, Joey is there, the traveling mendicant with a Patreon begging bowl. Watch their socials, because Average Joey might be on his way to your town, to shake up your day, to sing you a song in exchange for a bowl of soup, to tell a story and another story, recite some poems, park in your driveway or on your street, and enrich you from weariness again to a totally hungry human’s unreal hope. </span></p><br />-Andrew/Sunfrog</span></span><div><span><span style="font-family: georgia;

Arkansas’s Willi Carlisle is barking and bantering outside a circus tent, inviting the crowd in, with a spoken word invocation about the houseless but heart-filled Americans in every city on the itinerary. Big bold and beautiful hand-painted banners decorate the stage, as the <i>Critterland</i> traveling medicine show has recently decamped in your town. One banner reads, “Why have a god if no one is saved,” while the other declares, “love is a burden if it isn't brave,” all lyrics from the title anthem of the hippy-hillbilly hymnal of an album that is <i>Critterland</i>. Get ready mid-market towns of the midwest and south, another queer leftist country singer is on the road again.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Willi’s perfectly-paced setlist switches from slow songs to fast songs from happy songs to sad songs to downright-ugly-cry heartbreaking songs. The energy on stage is greatly amplified, though, because Willi has brought out a band on this tour. Not that that there was ever anything lacking in the bardic wonder of Willi’s solo gigs, this trio is simply fantastic and fabulously furious in sharing Willi’s intoxicating stage-presence, so a big hug of a <i>Critterland</i> welcome to Grady Drugg on guitar and Sophie Wellington on fiddle, guitar, and stomp box. Y’all simply brought it! </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">With an obvious focus on <i>Critterland</i>, and these already-classic songs rip-your-heart-out even more in person, the stunning 20-song set was also career-spanning, with the venue frequently transformed into folk-punk inclusive-secular church (okay the Southgate is an old church, a point not lost on Willi one bit) for rowdy singalongs. It could have been a house-party or even a campfire, but in darkest February near the banks of the Ohio, probably good that we were indoors.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">This is only my 4th time seeing Willi Carlisle, but I am totally obsessed, and this new album has quickly catapulted my fandom far past the average listener. From Willi’s welcoming stage presence to a fascinating and transparent backstory, this live show feels so deeply welcoming, the convener so deeply connected. Sure we have some genuine things in common, such as trying rural anarchist communes but leaving, or surviving adjunct teaching in the field of English, but there is even more to why these songs now live so deep inside my consciousness, yet so bundled up in my bones, and yet so far out on the wind or down dirt holler roads with critters galore, it’s like they have always existed as their own canon, their true sacred folklore, their own songbook (he made one, an actual songbook). </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">In addition to the stellar pacing and catalog scavenging of the set, it’s not a folk set without the banter. Some of it was spitfire radical incantation as the poet-as-pentecostal-preacher fired up the congregation, some of it was prickly pop culture commentary. I lost track of the references at some point, but we got mentions of all kinds, of Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen and Tim McGraw and Chris Stapleton and ProTools and the Ken Burns country music documentary and the confession that our tickets and merch-purchases were paying for the singer’s therapy. Not all the references were like the others, but you can kind of get the idea.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">While it’s not clear to me that Willi walks the abstinence path (it’s not clear that he doesn’t, and if he doesn’t specify either way, it’s really not my business), but the album and this performance, among many other things, are true and profound testaments to the tragedy of addiction and overdose and self-harm. It’s really a prayer, if I can use that word, for self-care and against self-harm. Although I didn’t have time to ask Willi more about this in our brief chat after the show, and I cannot pinpoint a spot in the many interviews and podcasts I have devoured, it seems way more of a harm-reduction model than a prohibition one that sits behind these incredible songs, a model that’s gotten lots of hatred in the media and state houses of late, as some cities seek new ways to care for the drug users in our communities. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">As an addict and drunk in recovery, it all feels just so radically healing, even and especially the grief that Willi leaves on stage with buckets of spit and sweat coming off his grand frame as he puts everything he has into these performances. As I have already written about the album, it’s one for repeated listenings for this time, and without doubt, this is the show weird-of-center folk and country fans to catch in 2024. - Andrew/Sunfrog</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">P.S.

Now. He offers an Illinois/Kansas/Missouri/Arkansas counterpoint to all the great music currently coming from Kentucky and West Virginia or the always reliable Asheville-to-Nashville-to-Atlanta-or-Austin axis of evil. </span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">For folks new to Willi’s memorable and magnetic voice, he has haunted small clubs and festival fields and Spotify streams for a few years now, and he has slipped comfortably into a faded pair of overalls decorated with the home-made sewn patches of his lineage: from Woody Guthrie to Utah Phillips, from Bob Dylan to John Prine. And likewise, we know Willi is ready to share yet more festival stages -- or breathless phrases of press-agent-ready praise --with his contemporaries, the names like too many colorful stickers decorating a mandolin or fiddle case, names like Jason Isbell or Tyler Childers or Molly Tuttle or Adeem the Artist or Nick Shoulders or Mya Byrne. I could go on. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Willi’s literate and literary lyrics also make him part of that traveler-meets-treehugger activist-bard lineage that could include Whitman and Kerouac, Thoreau and Snyder. Even though Carlisle may never have listened to this 90s folk-punk pioneer, he definitely reminds me more of Casey Neill’s 1990s and early 2000s albums than just about anyone I have listened to recently. While this new record is more hoedown than throwdown, the spiritual connection to the tattooed folk-punk traveler lineage cannot be understated. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">In someone else’s otherwise strong review of the new Willi Carlisle record, they say that </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Critterland</span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> is technically not a concept album, maybe because it’s not a seamless narrative for the same protagonist in the same places, maybe because it’s not a folk opera ready for off-Broadway, maybe because it’s not </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">American Idiot </span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">with fiddles and banjos.

Willi writes such sticks-in-your-gut memorable patch-or-sticker-ready couplets for the ragtag riffraff weirdo choir in the church of wonderment and woe. So many hymns and anthems -- and the entire album is a songbag and songbook, a Rise Up Singing for queer lefty folkies --such countless quotable banners could be strident or cringe with less wise words but in the gentle loving lyrical hands of Willi Carlisle, they are honest and humble and brilliantly boundless and spilling over the brim. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Critterland</span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> collects songs like I collect old rusty metal garbage trinkets on my long walks. </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Critterland</span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> collects memories and metaphors into larger-than-life stories, then makes them sound small and intimate and heartbreakingly relatable.

These are the sad songs to make you happy because like life, there are dead people and people in active addiction and the inevitably of dead addicts, where, as Will sings, we learn that the proverbial “rock bottom” is really “six feet under.” </span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">In “The Arrangements,” Willi pours one out for “the bastard,” for a character that appears to be the narrator’s father, finally confessing “I am my own father now.” I don’t know the backstory, and everyone’s is different, but the thing about death and mourning, they are also the common denominators that bind us all together. From the song where he says he is own father now, he also admits he will never father others, in the stunning testimony for remaining forever childless called simply “I Want No Children.” </span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Critterland </span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">is an audio component to the bursting genre of literary masterpieces, primarily novels, sometimes called rural gothic, sometimes called grit lit, sometimes called hillbilly noir, filled with sensuality and drugs and violence, but always in specific beautiful settings, by authors like David Joy and Bonnie Jo Campbell, I could go on and on.

The album’s coda combines song with spoken-word-spit-story, rolling it all up to smoke, making the narrative into a ragged riff on the wild side of the weed world, back when it was more illegal and less socially acceptable. It perfectly captures the hillbilly-meets-hippie paradox to which all these songs are gloriously adjacent. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Critterland</span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> might not be a concept album, but it probably used to be a commune, and one day it could be the alternative entire country and continent that Harry Smith prophesied and Greill Marcus named “the old weird America.” Willi himself describes the denizens of this place from a post on the socials six years ago: “Clowns, drag-queens, punks, weirdos, trad-masters, overeducated floozies, wobbly-grandpa-music lovers, I love you, and can't wait to meet you. I can't wait to see you. I can't wait to work with you. I can't wait until we are all old friends.” The title track opens the album and was the first single released and encapsulates this narrative universe of the concept album, old time music commune, and alternative country. It’s a singalong and a manifesto, and while it may not be utopia, it’s a place I’d rather live than the everyday mundane dystopia that occupies too much of our worlds today. </span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Even as a seasoned adult with too many t-shirts and receipts, from trying to create our beloved community and finding oneself on the wrong-end of repression and fear, I cling to redemptive hope and joy more than ever before. Like all great mystics and poets before him, Willi Carlisle creates that world by inhabiting the paradox with profound musical and cultural integrity and an unleashed imagination of abundant love. So I don’t know about any of y’all, but I am going to Critterland. Maybe I’ll see you there?

white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">When I put down my copy of Erin Hoover’s new book of poems, I am surprised that my hands are not covered in scars. Not paper cuts, but cuts to the core of my being, reckoning with the humanity and heartbreak of 21st century poetic activism in the American south. This torturously beautiful thing is so raw and real that it might injure the reader with its tender and truthful rendering of reality, but at the same time, the language is so purposefully alluring and intensely real and wildly evocative, I will surely pick it up again, and again, to read and read over once more.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">These poems fall from the page as the perspective of a single parent, yes, a mother, a professor, a poet, an activist, but is the narrator always Erin Hoover or also another feminist protagonist navigating the bewildering facts of Florida and Arkansas during the days of waning rights and rising seas and bewildering struggles, all said through a piercing selfhood that is neither this courageous archetype nor their demeaning stereotype, wrestling with each instance, as we go. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">I have spent decades in similar settings to these, as with other fellow activist poets, as we inevitably run into oddly familiar cul-de-sacs of consciousness, where we survive hurricanes and elections and protest marches to breathe another day, to write another poem.

How grateful I am for decades of front-row seats to such a thriving campus and community theater experience!</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">For almost 50 years, the character of Carrie is a compelling cultural icon in the horror genre. The shy teenager suffers religious abuse at home and the horrors of peer pressure at high school. From Stephen King’s best-selling paperback to Brian DePalma’s acclaimed film, starring Sissy Spacek, the narrative is soaked in the apocalyptic blood of religious symbolism and feminine rebellion. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Set apart from the novel and original film, Carrie the Musical was a terrible flop at its first try in the 1980s, but in this century, the play has achieved a kind of cult status, being the topic of books and podcasts. Yes, the script and songs were purportedly revised, and through multiple big city and small town revivals, the play has become a wildly popular production for colleges and community theaters. The bloody madness and catchy earworms of this ambitious musical drama have come to Cookeville, where our own Backdoor Playhouse is always boldly and bravely trying something edgy and new. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">This is not our campus theater’s first foray into musical mania for fall’s spooky season, and the disturbing spirit of the show reflects our internal anxiety as a response to the sadness and badness of our world. One academic critic described the plot of Carrie as a “dark baptism,” and I think this fits the play’s bloody truth for a world saturated in sexist repression, religious oppression, war, and inevitable religious deconstruction. The play is a parable, as religion reckons with its problematic perspectives on female power, where strongly written women characters twist and turn and sing and shout toward a total terrifying catharsis.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">All this is done with catchy tunes, well-choreographed dances, and a communal feeling where the entire cast are trapped in their own emotional prisons and freedom has a total, supernatural, fatal cost. One thing that really strikes me about this show is that there are no cookie-cutter villains or protagonists. Sure, you can like some characters and loathe others, but everyone evokes enough sympathy that we all feel everything when the entire drama implodes catastrophically at a much-hyped prom. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A sinister sendup more sickly than other coming-of-age ensembles, Carrie is the Breakfast Club on bad acid. </span><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Thanks to a deftly produced, tightly choreographed, and sonically catchy rendering, the Backdoor Playhouse brings all the panache of any big city production. With both newcomers to -- and veterans of -- Backdoor Playhouse productions, the cast of dynamic and talented young actors come together with a fierce dynamism that will draw audiences into its telekinetic web of theatrical magic. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">--</span></span></p><p></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Tickets are available for each show at the door.

In music, it’s also admitting that as far as fandoms go, you are a friend of “dad rock.”<br /><br />“Dad rock” is one of those weird niche sub-genres that is as much a mere demographic & one with a damaged reputation, at that. As a known genre, its origins are mostly pejorative, as some trace its roots to Rob Mitchum’s review of Sky Blue Sky back in 2007, where “Dad rock” means “receding into the comfort zone” or “the stylistic equivalent of a wardrobe change into sweatpants and a tank top.” <br /><br />While the impulse seemingly exposed by the writer is a tendency for domesticated-comfort as opposed to pursuing edgy experiments, it’s not a foregone conclusion or close to consensus among Wilco fans. In actuality Wilco has reclaimed & reframed it as something entirely irresistible, somehow defying the traps of soft safety or instigating irrelevance. Tweedy defended the tag with these insights: “When people say dad rock, they actually just mean rock. I don't find anything undignified about being a dad or being rocking, you know?”<br /><br />It’s wild for me to contemplate the combinations that contribute to my listening binges. As a recovering addict & as an adult diagnosed with ADHD in my 50s, the beauteous breadth & stunning simplicity of streaming services are so welcome & can send me down many rabbit holes, taking back many layers to many mysteries, really getting into deep grooves & hours of happy distractions. Even contemplating my current obsessions with “Dad rock,” this fascination also admits that I have the free time to reflect on such idiosyncrasies of fandom, while making massive playlists to fit every mood, day, or season. <br /><br />For months, earlier this year, I was stuck in the musical dirt that stained my jeans & boots, becoming the genres that are as strong to my region as the soil on which we stand. For many moments, I thought I would only ever want to listen to scratchy raggedy folk & Appalachian alt-country for the rest of my days. Think Tyler Childers, Logan Halstead, Cole Chaney, or Charles Wesley Godwin. After falling for the new Zach Bryan, was I admitting that I actually liked “country” music, even sometimes without the “alt” prefix? <br /><br />But call it the revenge of the aughts or the resilience of dad rock, now I am stuck inside a 2020s resurgence of the endless mellowish indie alt-rock in the Dad demographic. Honest, it is sometimes a blurred line where our left-of-center country Americana ends & this misunderstood genre of “Dad rock” begins. <br />Of course, to some folks, “Dad rock” is simply the music your Dad listens to or bands with Dads in them. As Gen X & Millennials age, “Dad rock” could just be admitting that I still listen to R.E.M. & U2 after all these years & still love them both. “Dad rock” could be just admitting that I was always a Deadhead despite my best efforts to deny this. <br /><br />But to me, just like Wilco & Jeff Tweedy were accidentally tagged as the torchbearers of the Dad scene, there is a subtler yet more obvious way to explain “Dad rock,” some precise on-point “Dad rock,” that is somehow warmer, sadder, fuzzier, more sparkly, more reliably comforting & addicting. It’s that kind of “Dad rock” that I am naming the “Dad rock” of my current indulgence. No shade toward other definitions or movements with “Dad rock,” but when we get to the list of artists and new albums, we will see the spin I am placing on this. <br /><br />From great new material & tours from the leading icons of “indie Dad rock” (the aforementioned Wilco, & of course, the National), I am hereby declaring 2023 the year of the great “indie Dad rock” resurgence & resurrection. I have cobbled together a list of new records that fit the vibe for me, & I want to see your suggestions to expand it out even further. But the focus here, these are artists with new music this year, which certainly relegates as ineligible, some of the other groups worthy for “Dad rock” tags.<br /><br />Now some people will take this idea & automatically say the Stones, but that would be to miss the fundamental fuzzy to which I am currently moving. If the roots of this tree are Wilco & the National, it will also mean other alts from the aughts, who are also currently making a comeback, as well as groups that seem to fit that lineage like a comfortable slip-on house-shoe.<br /><br />The self-doubting voice-in-my-head wants to say, please don’t think this modest listicle as a boring old-guy (goddess forbid) almost-as-bad as Jann Wenner move, because I am sure there’s also a feminist-in-flannel “Mom rock” emerging, too. Also, as an amateur music-critic with only nominal influence, my views here don’t have enough heft to go viral. I am, however, seeking other artists that belong under this general umbrella, keeping in mind it’s also an old blanket set down on the mossy ground for a picnic potluck of ideas where everyone brings their own.<br /><br />Although there’s at least one “Dad rock” podcast that I found that combines parenting discussions with music discussions & is co-hosted by two Dads, the younger human that I helped raise turns 30 this week, so I am personally kind of past the how-to-juggle-parenting-advice with music fandom phase. That said, we are not limited to those who are partnered, or who co-parented kids, or even middle-aged, or approaching old age in my case, though accepting & leaning into these life-facts for those for whom they are real, these can be part of the “Dad rock” revelation. Some of us are certainly old enough to be “Granddad rock” by now (I am). We are also experiencing a revival in queer artists in indie-rock & psych & folk & Americana, in all of these & adjacent genres, so please no cisgender or heterosexual gate-keeping in so-called Dad rock, either. <br /><br />Just came here to acknowledge & celebrate left-of-center meaningful, literary mellow-rock being made by & for people who make the time to make massive playlists & rambling blogs accordingly. <br /><br />40 New “Dad Rock” Albums of 2023 - help add to the list with your suggestions<br /><br />Wilco - Cousin<br />The National - First Two Pages of Frankenstein <br />The National - Laugh Track<br />Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit - Weathervanes<br />Will Johnson - No Ordinary Crown<br />The Gaslight Anthem - History Books<br />The Hold Steady - The Price of Progress<br />Fruit Bats - A River Running To Your Heart<br />Deer Tick - Emotional Contracts<br />City and Colour - The Love Still Held Me Near<br />Animal Collective - Isn’t It Now<br />Sufjan Stevens - Javelin<br />Bonnie Prince Billy - Keeping Secrets Will Destroy You<br />M.
