Tyler Halverson
Globe Hall Presents Tyler Halverson on Wednesday, July 22nd, – KITCHEN OPENS AT 5PM! Tyler Halverson knows who he is, and sometimes he doesn’t like it. But all of the mistakes he’s made and hearts he’s broken have led him to In Defense of Drinking, his stone-cold honest country album that takes a stark look at a life lived on the road. “It’s been a life spent falling in and out of love and finding something to write about, at the expense of your heart and somebody’s else’s,” Halverson says. “I’m not proud of the actions that that boy took to inspire these songs. But I’m very proud of how they turned out. The Nashville scene today is all so pretty and polished, and some artists try to come out looking a certain way, but how about you just show yourself exactly how you are, the good and bad?” Growing up in the tiny town of Canton, South Dakota, Halverson has never been afraid to be himself. Before he answered the call of the road, playing bars and rodeo beer gardens, he spent as much time on his skateboard as he did showing cattle at livestock shows. “I grew up in sale barns and skate parks,” he says, and those two disparate worlds inform the music he makes. There’s a decidedly alt-country edge to the songs on In Defense of Drinking, including the thumping, unrepentant single “More Hearts Than Horses.” Halverson comes by that aesthetic naturally. He spent time not only in his native South Dakota, but all throughout the American West, including playing cowboy on a Wyoming ranch (which inspired the cult hit “Mac Miller”). “Beer Garden Baby,” his beloved fan favorite, was born from those rodeo gigs, and he re-records it as a duet with Parker McCollum for In Defense of Drinking. He’s also set to open a string of shows for the Texas-turned-Nashville-star. Texas is in the DNA of the music Halverson writes and records. He’s been all over the Lone Star state with his guitar and harmonica and came up with some of his best songs there. In the tailgate jam “Like a Rodeo,” featuring Australian country star Wade Forster, Halverson struggles to connect with another restless soul: an ambitious barrel racer. “Could she ever love me like the rodeo?” he sings. Halverson wrote the track after lighting out from Tennessee to Texas to find himself. “I got pissed off with Nashville and ran away to Turkey, Texas,” he says. “I was crashing with some buddies in a trailer, smoking it out, and writing songs. ‘Like a Rodeo’ is about chasing somebody who is also chasing something, and wondering if those paths are ever going to cross.” “You can lose yourself in the troubadour lifestyle, where every night is a damn party and you’re far from your family, your home, and your faith,” he says. “So, this album may be a little bit of a personal battle: Who are you on the road vs. who are you at home. These songs are often about me admitting that I can be reckless and impulsive, but that I’m trying my best. Conflict isn’t always bad if you can make some good out of it.” That’s one of Halverson’s goals for In Defense of Drinking. Does he have any others? He shoots a shit-eating grin. “I hope I can buy some cows with this record.” All ages, ticketed guests under 16 ONLY ADMITTED WITH TICKETED GUARDIAN 21+ All sales are final.

The Jungle Giants
Globe Hall Presents The Jungle Giants on Friday, October 9th. – KITCHEN OPENS AT 5PM! To live in the world of The Jungle Giants, you really have to live in Sam Hales’ head. That’s usually a riotous place to be; slammed full of big dance tunes, multiple bands and electric live shows all over the world. The Jungle Giants have been at it for such a long time – fifteen years, on the cusp of five albums – that it’s hard to imagine them ever not being part of Australia’s global vanguard. But when you are the band – in the most Kevin Parker sense of the word – and the world as you know it starts falling to pieces, the music inside of your head might start to sound a little different. That is, if you’re even hearing music at all. Experiencing Feelings of Joy is an apt title not only for the listener, but its creator. Careening from crushing personal loss to hopeful exuberance, it’s an album Sam Hales could only write after thinking he’d never be able to write again. Hales has always prided himself on being ‘a full-on, extreme kind of guy’. But by mid-2022, the cracks were starting to show. “There were a couple years there where my accountant told me that I’d done more shows than there were days in the year,” he laughs, “I was just making music and then just flying wherever they told me to fly!” Hales had arguably reached a creative apex: playing in and writing hits for two globetrotting dance bands simultaneously, with the second of these, Confidence Man, booked to play Glastonbury. He was also engaged to their singer, following a ten year artistic and romantic relationship. Then, in classic Hales fashion, everything happened all at once. In the space of only a few months, Hales tore up his leg in a jetski accident and was confined to a hospital bed, played Glastonbury on crutches after intense rehab, split up with his fiance and parted ways with Confidence Man. Things you may not know about Sam Hales, the one-man music machine behind Jungle Giants: He was a competition-winning flautist at school. He was raised by a single Irish mother, and turned to music partially to escape her abusive ex-husband. He adopted his trademark falsetto vocals after hearing Bon Iver on the radio. He curates mini-rave listening sessions for his band, “with laser lights and smoke machines”, once he’s finished an album. With a record big on feelings and even bigger on floor-fillers, Hales has naturally refocused his sights on world domination. “It just feels good to just be spreading joy and love on a global scale,” he says. “I’m lucky to have an immigrant mum from Ireland. I grew up being very exposed to an international outlook. Having previously taken on the Americas, Hales now has his sights set on Europe. “It’s all built off love and obsession. I will never stop making Jungle Giants music; it’s who I am and it’s only going to get bigger.” All ages, ticketed guests under 16 ONLY ADMITTED WITH TICKETED GUARDIAN 21+ All sales are final.

Bebe Stockwell
Globe Hall Presents Bebe Stockwell on Monday, October 12th. – KITCHEN OPENS AT 5PM! Bebe Stockwell, the Boston-born singer, songwriter, and performer crafts folk anthems punctuated by an unapologetically and unfiltered Gen-Z perspective. Her life began in the neighborhood of Beacon Hill where she took piano, drum, and guitar lessons, and penning songs of her own served as an outlet as a kid. While attending the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at New York University, she continued to write and record. She eventually caught the attention of GRAMMY® Award-winning producer M-Phazes and together they collaborated on her 2022 breakout “Love Me Back,” which to date has amassed north of 7 million Spotify streams. “Love Me Back” paved the way for more music, including “Robbie,” “Frosty,” and “Helium,” as well as while along the way, she shared stages with the likes of Claire Rosinkranz, Stephen Sanchez, Rachel Chinouriri, and M. Ward in addition to gracing the bills of Newport Folk Festival and Boston Calling. In 2024, the songstress inked a deal with Columbia Records and she released her debut EP, Driving Backwards, to much acclaim in May 2025.

Dylan LeBlanc
Globe Hall Presents Dylan LeBlanc on Wednesday, July 1 – KITCHEN OPENS AT 5PM! Dylan LeBlanc is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who often finds himself flirting with the edge — or “dancing on a razor,” as he calls it — as it is all he has ever known. A verdict vagabond since he was a little boy tossed between Texas, Louisiana and Alabama, LeBlanc thrives on the precipice, never staying in one place for too long. It is that nomadic spirit that drew him not only to a life as a touring musician, but also to the beast that titles his newest record: ‘Coyote.’LeBlanc says he has always related to the insatiable, scavenging nature of the wily coyote. Much like the animal, LeBlanc is a wanderer who knows when to trust his instincts, musically and otherwise. It is a spiritual kinship that runs deep, but he credits one particularly hair-raising face-to-face instance with solidifying his bond with the animal. LeBlanc was in Austin, Texas, climbing the face of a 100-foot cliff, gambling with Mother Nature’s good graces as he pulled himself up by tree branches. Once he reached the top, all that laid ahead of him was a lush treeline. There was a breath of stillness, then the sound of a thunderous rustling that drew closer and closer to him. In a blink, LeBlanc watched as a frenzied raccoon came speeding out of the treeline, trailed by an animal that stopped and stared at him with striking intensity: a coyote. “We’re looking at each other dead in the eyes…and I’m saying — out loud — ‘If it’s you or me, I am going to kick you off the side of this cliff. I’m not going down.’ It was intense, this human-animal moment,” LeBlanc recalls. “I’ve never forgotten that… he was just trying to survive and so was I.” ‘Coyote’ is LeBlanc’s first self-produced release, boasting a cherry-picked lineup of what he calls “killer session players,” such as drummer Fred Eltringham (Ringo Starr, Sheryl Crow), pianist Jim “Moose” Brown (Bob Seger), and bass player Seth Kaufman (Lana Del Rey). Though ‘Coyote’ covers familiar ground for LeBlanc of living on the edge of danger and its many consequences, the record is both autobiographical and a concept album built around the character of Coyote, a man on the run. The story of ‘Coyote’ progresses linearly, opening with the dizzyingly declarative, strings-heavy title track which details Coyote’s arrival and quick departure as he crosses the border and gets involved with drug cartels. The trouble builds and dark waters rise until track six, “No Promises Broken,” a soaring, against-all-odds love song that marks when Coyote meets a girl, and his luck begins to change for the better. The song tells of how love heals, and places emphasis on lovers remaining open while maintaining their own freedoms, as LeBlanc believes that true devotion does not equal possession. He says that though both Coyote and his love each faced adversity, the hand of destiny put them on the same path and bound them together before they ever met: “‘No Promises Broken’ is an honest love song about two people who come from the same troubled past, and fate intertwines them together. It’s about acknowledging that there will be hard times ahead, but vowing to stick it out without making promises to each other that they know they can’t keep.” All ages, ticketed guests under 16 ONLY ADMITTED WITH TICKETED GUARDIAN 21+ All sales are final.

Hovvdy
Globe Hall Presents Hovvdy on Sunday, October 11th. – KITCHEN OPENS AT 5PM! Hovvdy’s Will Taylor and Charlie Martin have occupied a distinct corner of the modern-day indie landscape for more than a decade. Having evolved from their understated slowcore beginnings in Austin, Texas, they’re now seasoned veterans of the scene. Across their first five studio albums, the duo established their trademark sound of twangy indie rock, 2000s-inspired pop-country, and emotional acoustic ballads with strong pop sensibilities. Their last two records saw them processing life’s most intense emotions more openly than ever before, from declarations of love in its many forms on 2021’s True Love, to grappling with loss and personal change on their latest self-titled album, Hovvdy. But the songs of Big World have them trading in overt emotional directness for subject matter that leans enigmatic, contemplating their place in the world through a mosaic of songs that sees the band at their most secure and self-aware.
