HAYES CARLL
with opener Corb Lund
He’s the snarky slacker with the heart of pure Kerouac. He’s a modern storyteller’s dream, wrapped in a cloak of country-folk charm. His newest album is winning over critics from The New York Times to Blender: “Trouble In Mind” is a cunning collection of songs that blends the finest elements of folk, country and rock with brainy lyrics and influences including Bob Dylan and Kris KristoEerson. Crows the Los Angeles Times: “It’s hard to decide right away which is more impressive, this 28-year-old Tex an’s delightfully crafted tales of life in the bars and side roads of rural America or the vibrant music he couches them in, a rootsy, country-based stew thick with roadhouse blues.”
8 p.m. Saturday, Cain’s Ballroom, Bob’s side stage, 423 N. Main St. All ages. Call 866.443.8849 for details.
