SUMMARY:Antlers and Acorns: Voices in the Round- Listen to Women
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, September 13\, 2025 at 2 PM / Doors open at 1:15 PM\nStandard – $25 \nAll Ages (children under 17 admitted with parent/legal guardian)\nAll Seating is Reserved.\nSales tax and fees applied at checkout \nMary Gauthier\, Jaimee Harris\, Jess Klein\, and Leslie Mendelson together on the stage of the Appalachian Theatre sharing songs for one glorious show. \nMary Gauthier – “With songwriting as powerful as hers\, there’s no need to go looking for qualifiers. She’s a unique\, intrinsically valuable musical voice. And there’s never a surplus of those.” — Randy Lewis\, Los Angeles Time \nMary’s songs have been recorded by dozens of artists\, including Jimmy Buffett\, Dolly Parton\, Boy George\, Blake Shelton\, Tim McGraw\, Bettye Lavette\, Mike Farris\, Kathy Mattea\, Bobby Bare\, Amy Helm and Candi Staton and have appeared extensively in Film and Television\, most recently on HBO TV’s Yellowstone. \nJaimee Harris – Harris turned 30 during the pandemic. It’s a milestone that is a rite of passage even during normal times. But for this Texas-born singer-songwriter\, it came in the midst of one of the strangest and most tumultuous periods in American history. When the world stopped during lockdown\, Harris\, like many others\, found herself gazing back into the past\, ruminating on the nature of her hometown and family origins\, and reckoning with their imprint on her. The term ‘nostalgia’ derives from the Greek words nostos (return) and algos (pain)\, and if Harris’s Boomerang Town can be regarded as a nostalgic album\, it is only nostalgic in the sense that the longing for home is a desire to return to the past and heal old wounds. \nJess Klein – Jess’s live shows are known for their intimate and soulful atmosphere. Whether solo with just her guitar or backed by a band\, Jess performs with a raw\, emotional intensity.  Her emotive vocals\, and poignant storytelling invite her fans on a journey through themes of love\, loss\, and resilience. \nThe Bluegrass Situation hails Jess’s work as “one part grassroots social activism\, two parts alt-country guitar rock — a combo we can certainly get behind.” Klein’s newest album\, 2023’s When We Rise\, harnesses this potent combination with themes of empowerment and the joy of overcoming set to a dynamic and deeply introspective roots-inflected soundtrack. \nLeslie Mendelson – With her enchanted voice and evocative songwriting\, Leslie Mendelson has won the hearts and minds of both an adoring fanbase and fellow artists alike. No less than Jackson Browne has declared\, “Leslie’s melodies are timeless. They reach me way back in my youth somewhere. I hear traces of Burt Bacharach and Carole King\, and hooks and passages that remind me of the pop songs I grew up hearing on the radio\,” while The Wallflowers frontman Jakob Dylan shares: “Voices like Leslie’s can get away with almost anything. Along with being a great songwriter\, this leaves her with few if any peers.”

SUMMARY:Antlers and Acorns: John Moreland with Mando Saenz
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, September 13\, 2025 at 7 PM / Doors open at 6:15 PM\nStandard – $45 \nAll Ages (children under 17 admitted with parent/legal guardian)\nAll Seating is Reserved.\nSales tax and fees applied at checkout \nJohn Moreland – After an impressive 2010s run of albums that earned him a devoted fanbase\, accolades from outlets like The New York Times\, Fresh Air\, and Pitchfork\, and a place in the upper echelon of modern Americana singer-songwriters\, John Moreland has already taken two unexpected turns this decade\, both of which highlight his fierce artistic independence. First\, he released a brilliant and sonically layered folk-electronica meditation on modern alienation\, 2022’s Birds In The Ceiling\, that took some of his fans by surprise. Then\, after wrapping up a difficult tour behind that record in November 2022\, he stopped working entirely. He took an entire year off from playing shows and didn’t use a smartphone for 6 months. “At the end of that year\, I was just like ‘Nobody call me’. I needed to not do anything for a while and just process\,” Moreland says. After nearly a decade in the limelight\, constantly jostled by the expectations of his audience\, the music industry\, and anonymous strangers online\, he carved out some time to rest\, heal\, and reflect for the first time. \nMando Saenz – Every once in a while\, a veteran artist manages to tap into a new creative wellspring\, discovers an exciting sound\, and the floodgates open. Such was the case for Mando Saenz on his latest release\, All My Shame. On this dynamic new album\, Saenz fully embraces his pop and classic rock influences for the first time in his career – while still staying true to his Texas songwriting roots. It’s a bold new statement for the Nashville-based artist\, and the culmination of his career as a journeyman writer and musician.
