Michelle Malone

Michelle Malone’s musical roots run deep and wide like the mighty Mississippi river, twisting and turning through southern rock, folk and country territories. “Malone is a master at mixing blues and Americana music” (GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE). Her powerful live show will take you on a journey from dirty back roads of the deep slow south to frantic bright city lights, regardless of whether she’s performing solo or armed with her electric guitar and her mighty fine band. Michelle “has the soul of a blues man, the heart of a folk singer, and the guts of a rock and roll star wrapped up in one fiery bad ass” (NASHVILLE RAGE), and she’s “uniquely able to blow the roof off the place then turn right around and whisper a soft song that will break your damn heart” (PASTE). Her live shows are upbeat and authentic, engaging and satisfyingly soul stirring, flush with the raw energy and emotion that’s always been a part of her signature sound. Over the course of Malone’s 25+ year career, she has shared stages with artists from Gregg Allman to Sugarland’s Kristian Bush and Jennifer Nettles, Albert King to Mississippi All-Stars Luther Dickenson, Indigo Girls to Brandi Carlisle, released 17 records (so far), and continues to gain respect from her peers. Her beautiful new Americana album, 1977, was released April 22, 2022 to rave reviews: “a wealth of alluring and enticing entries that ensure immediate accessibility and could be considered Malone’s masterpiece. 4/5 stars” (AMERICAN SONGWRITER). ”Malone’s songs unfold cinematically and captures moments of human vulnerability, and her warm, inviting vocals tell stories of the exquisite intimacy of our daily lives.” (NO DEPRESSION). Michelle Malone’s next album, Southern Comfort, is a southern rock singer songwriter record cowritten in part with Dean Dillon of TN Whiskey fame, and features special guests Buddy Miller, Will Kimbrough and Charlie Starr and Paul Jackson of Blackberry Smoke. Look for it spring 2024.

 

THE KRICKETS

The Krickets are an Americana trio from the gulf coast whose music is what Paste Magazine calls “a truly stunning, one-of-a-kind sound.” Two-time IMA Song of the Year winner in both Folk and Alt Country categories, the band’s music is genre-bending Americana steeped in their signature folk harmony. New single Pay No Mind produced by Rick Hirsch (Wet Willie, Greg Allman Band) features a fresh soul-rock inspired sound for the band and is due to release 8/31/23. 

This latest single follows a 2020 self-produced release, These Games that premiered in American Songwriter Magazine’s Best New Music feature. Prior to that the band recorded two full length studio albums, Redbird (2018) in Nashville with Sam Ashworth and Spanish Moss Sirens (2016) with Single Lock Records’ Ben Tanner in Muscle Shoals, AL. 

Originally coming together to play a breast cancer benefit, the band is passionate about supporting their namesake, TheCricketFund.org which provides cancer aid to the uninsured.
