Jack Van Cleaf w/ Emma Ogier + Blake Rouse – Night 2
Globe Hall Presents Jack Van Cleaf with Emma Ogier and Blake Rouse on Saturday, May 17 — Jack Van Cleaf was still an independent artist when “Rattlesnake” became a viral hit in 2023, earning praise from songwriters like Noah Kahan (who hand-picked Jack as the opening act on his sold-out Stick Season Tour) and Zach Bryan (who began covering the song online). For Jack, it felt like a pivotal moment in a career that had been building since his teenage years. “This album is all about the vertigo of growing up,” says Jack, who makes his Dualtone Records debut with the sophomore release JVC. “It’s about re-defining and re-understanding yourself.” JVC does more than plant its flag halfway between the worlds of indie rock and Gen Z folk. It also asks big questions about home and identity. Years after penning his first song as a high school freshman in San Diego, he headed east to Nashville, where he studied songwriting at Belmont University and released his debut album, Fruit from the Trees, after graduation. “I met many of my closest friends during my very first week at Belmont,” says Jack about his formative years in Music City. “All talented artists in their own right, they went on to help me make my first record everything that it is, and have remained my most trusted collaborators to this day.” “Rattlesnake,” with its introspective lyrics and atmospheric acoustics, earned him a spot on Spotify’s 2024 Best New Artist list with tastemaker playlist “juniper,” but nothing – not even the praise of his heroes – could calm the existential freakout he experienced as a 20something thrust into adulthood. “I was shell-shocked,” he remembers. “I’d spent my whole life being told what to do every single day, and I always dreamed about growing up to be my own boss. Then graduation came, and I got what I wanted… but I realized I had no idea how to function on a day-to-day basis.” All ages, ticketed guests under 16 ONLY ADMITTED WITH TICKETED GUARDIAN 21+ All sales are final.

Jack Symes w/ Jacksonport + Kyle Szalay
Globe Hall Presents Jack Symes with Jacksonport and Kyle Szalay on Saturday, June 28 — JACK SYMES This is Jack Symes here writing this bio about Jack Symes. I was born and raised in Pasadena, CA and after stints in the Bay Area and New York, I’m back in my hometown of LA. I’ve spent the better chunks of the last 9 years making records and touring, and here we are once again, buckling up for a little ride through the Western US. I’ll be touring with my dear friend and collaborator John Fatum who produced a new record of mine coming out this summer; we’ll be performing duo guitar and drums, and he’ll also be opening the shows under his project Jacksonport. We’ll be performing songs from my past albums as well as this new to-be released record. I think it’s gonna be a blast. Stoked for this summer run, hope to see y’all soon. xo, Jack JACKSONPORT Jacksonport’s fourth studio album, “Ting Ting” is new territory for Chicago-born singer/songwriter John Fatum. It’s as if the golden hour warmth of “Dusted Beauty” (2023, Ay Caramba Records Etc.) gave way to the deep blue twilight of dusk, swaying between the magic of night and the ubiquitous melancholy of adulthood. Co-producing with Fatum were GRAMMY nominated engineer Adrian Olsen (Michael Nau, Twain, Buck Meek) who encouraged Fatum to sing from behind the drumset, his first musical home, and GRAMMY nominated multi-instrumentalist Bridget Kearney (Lake Street Dive, Ed Sheeran, Aaron Dessner). Olsen piloted a soundscape that enhanced the elegance of each player’s long-developed musicality, while Kearney lent her melodic sensibilities and keen ear for arrangement to match the strength and nuance of Fatum’s songs. “Ting Ting” presents a new chapter in the Jacksonport sound, one of maturity, meaning in the quiet and small, and the frank acknowledgment that we all have times where we don’t want to get out of bed.

The Family Crest w/ Babes in Canyon
Globe Hall Presents The Family Crest with Babes in Canyon on Thursday, June 26th. The brainchild of composer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist Liam McCormick, orchestral indie band The Family Crest was started as a recording project with co-founder John Seeterlin (bass) as a final release before bowing out of the industry. Instead of leaving music, they were inspired by their peers to set out to reinvent how a band could be created, starting The Family Crest with an audacious and bold vision of cultivating a musical community. “We always liked making music with people – getting a bunch of people together and singing. So we put ads everywhere,” says McCormick. “We posted on Craigslist, distributed flyers, and emailed old friends from school.” The outcome was greater than the original duo imagined, with over 80 people credited on the first recording the band produced and over 500 musicians credited throughout their catalog. Beyond the core band, over 500 “Extended Family” members participate on recordings, live shows, and across the artistic spectrum. Known for their jaw-dropping live performances, The Family Crest has toured extensively domestically and internationally garnering the support of fans and the press alike. Bob Boilen of NPR’s All Songs Considered said of The Family Crest, “Seeing is believing. Liam McCormick is a knockout singer, you simply must hear him live… There’s a decent chance you’re about to discover your favorite new band.” The Family Crest has released three full-length albums and three EPs, including their critically-acclaimed breakout LP, Beneath the Brine, the music of which SPIN magazine called,“…a masterfully arranged epic… sharp strings, galloping percussion, and an ambition wide enough to swallow you whole.” Most recently, the band has been releasing pieces of their current musical concept album series, The War. “The War represents “the next version of The Family Crest,” says McCormick, and indeed, the album reveals a band more in tune with its own large-scale Baroque eclecticism. Jim Vorel of Paste Magazine described their first offering, Prelude to War, as “A sound so big, it feels like it could collapse in on itself at any moment to form a black hole… One thing is certain: These guys are just as explosive as ever, and these songs are going to bring the house down in a live setting.” The War: Act I, the second installment in the concept series brought about similar sentiments as Earmilk stated, “The Family Crest deliver complex arrangements with such confidence that each varying sound produced is done with effortless intent and is never perceived as an afterthought… a stunning explosion of color and emotion and just another reason why I’m continually captivated by this group.” According to PopMatters, “The War: Act I is another triumph for The Family Crest, showcasing once again why they equal—if not outdo—just about every one of their stylistic peers.” The next chapter in the series, The War: Act II, promises a more robust and musically diverse sonic work.

Kevian Kraemer w/ thebandfriday
Globe Hall Presents Kevian Kraemer with thebandfriday on Thursday, July 17 — Carried by breezy waves of live instrumentation, buoyant production, and instantly infectious choruses, Kevian Kraemer’s music sounds a lot like an endless summer. His bright mix of alternative, indie, and pop alternates between the kind of excitement usually brought on by June’s final school bell, sparks of energy perfect for a July night sky, and a fleeting longing typically reserved for August’s last days. Growing up in New Jersey, music surrounded him from every angle. Developing through the Asbury Park music scene, he recognized his calling. His arsenal expanded to include to guitar, production, drums, piano, and more. In high school, he finally opted to write and record original tunes of his own on GarageBand, initially gaining traction with “Sweater.” In 2024, a snippet of “Fly” went viral on TikTok leading to nearly 3 million global streams. He served up his debut Seventeen EP during the summer which yielded the standout “Attention,” and has generated 12M million global streams. Now, with “Jersey or Mars,” the 19-year-old singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist captivates with an undeniable and unshakable style of his own.

Vandoliers w/ Adeem The Artist + Clementine Was Right
Globe Hall Presents Vandoliers with Adeem The Artist and Clementine Was Right on Saturday, June 21st. “Most personal album yet” is a well-worn cliché within the cliché-addled world of music promotion. But Life Behind Bars, the fifth studio album from beloved Texas country-punk ensemble Vandoliers, brings new meaning to that phrase. This album marks a series of firsts for the band, it’s their first release with upstart Break Maiden Records and distributed by storied indie Thirty Tigers, their first with Grammywinning producer Ted Hutt (The Gaslight Anthem, Flogging Molly, Lucero), and their first recorded at the sprawling Sonic Ranch studios in West Texas. Most importantly, though, this collection of songs offers a window into frontwoman Jenni Rose’s journey through addiction and gender dysphoria — a journey that has culminated in her decision to come out as a trans woman while working in the macho worlds of Texas country and punk rock, at a moment when the rights of trans people are more intensely threatened by the day. For the uninitiated, even the most melancholy Vandoliers song has a degree of exuberance and verve, full of an irrepressible energy that has led the band to tour with everyone from Flogging Molly to the Turnpike Troubadours to fellow Dallas-Fort Worth natives the Toadies and the Old 97s. Their unique ability to bring together the worlds of the square-toed boot-clad hicks with the steel-toed boot wearing punks has helped the band find a devoted following across the world, fans who pack out shows that are always life-affirming and usually end with some Vandoliers hopping around onstage shirtless. While the 10 tracks on Life Behind Bars are upbeat and sing-a-long-ready in classic Vandoliers fashion, they’re a little more stripped down and intimate than the band’s typical raucous fare. The title track has all the sharp observations and catchy melodies of Vandoliers’ best work, but with the added context and depth of Rose’s path to self-discovery. The album has more explicitly political tracks as well: “Bible Belt,” which Rose wrote about the fear and pain of feeling like an outsider deep in the Fort Worth suburbs, and “Thoughts and Prayers,” a darkly funny composition written and sung by Graves about the epidemic of gun violence in America. These are the songs of a band that is fearless and fun, hellbent on spreading joy wherever they go, and who has made a career of pushing boundaries and taking all-comers — of making a bigger, brighter, bolder tent in a musical space that is still too often hidebound by tradition. “We’ve been breaking rules in country for 10 years,” says Rose. “‘You play too fast.’ ‘You’re too loud.’ ‘You’re more of a punk band.’ All that matters, though, is that people hear our songs and they help them in any way — that’s all we can hope for. I’m struggling so much on this record, but I hope that another person listens to it and finds something in it for themselves.” All ages, ticketed guests under 16 ONLY ADMITTED WITH TICKETED GUARDIAN 21+ All sales are final.

The Droptines w/ Coyote Rose + Kansas Dawson
Globe Hall Presents The Droptines with Coyote Rose + Kansas Dawson on Saturday, August 30th. The Droptines are an alternative country band born in Concan, Texas. Established in 2019 by frontman/songwriter/musician, Conner Arthur, also known as “The King of Concan”. This band puts in the work taking none of the traditional or convenient routes when crafting songs. Blending a multitude of genres, while tethering each song together with a specific vernacular native to the Texas Hill Country, results in a broad range of authentic, versatile melodies. Add Conner’s rich voice and layered lyrics, and you have storytelling at its finest. From biblical themes, raunchy truths, and primitive questions to one’s existence, it is clear, Shakespeare has made his way to the trailer park. From the hard-hitting anthem “New Girl” to the heart wrenching melody “As Your Heart Breaks” to the opulent masterpiece “Raining Where You Are”, combined with a down to earth yet captivating stage presence, this band takes you on quite the ride. “Once every decade or so someone comes along, takes the bar and sets it way higher than any of us could dream of. Conner is the new gold standard of songwriting. He’s witty, visceral and ties it all up with an unshakable knack for melody. It’s an honor to be alive at the same time as this generational talent.” – David Beck “Conner‘s ability to write songs that meld raw emotion with detailed imagery is something I feel only few songwriters have. His songs make you think long after you’ve stopped listening, and the characters he writes about live in your mind forever.” – William Beckmann What is a Droptine you might ask? It’s a rare downward pointing antler found on a white tail deer, the one to watch for, and a nod to the environment and upbringing of the group. The Droptines are:Conner Arthur, front manDillon Sampson, bassDonny Parkinson, lead guitarJohnny Sheets, drumsTony Rincon, Pedal Steel These guys have enjoyed sharing a stage with many popular artists including Turnpike Troubadours, Chris Stapleton and Zach Bryan. They have recorded 1 full length album, 3 EP’s and multiple singles that can be found on Spotify and Apple Music.
