Consider the Source “Are You Watching Closely Tour” w/ Mr. Specific + Shwarma

Globe Hall Presents Consider the Source “Are You Watching Closely Tour” with Mr. Specific and Shwarma on Saturday, December 9th.  On this tour, Instrumental Prog-Rockers Consider the Source will highlight songs from the band’s 2009 release “Are You Watching Closely” which is being released in record format for the first time. The band noted, “The original version took up about a side and a half on vinyl so we decided to do something special for this one. We added 2 bonus songs, Kashyyyk and Put Your Face Away, which we recorded remotely in each of our home studios and are calling “2023 BONUS DEMOS”. (Both songs had been performed live in the early days of the band but never recorded until now)” Pre-orders have started already and will begin shipping around the time of the Tour. Guarantee your copy (HERE) or better yet grab one at a show! More on CTS… Sci-fi fusion trio Consider the Source defy easy categorization. If intergalactic energy beings, upon their initiation into an order of whirling dervishes, built a pan-dimensional booty-shaking engine powered by psychedelic math…it would sound like a cut-rate CTS cover band. With their blend of progressive rock and improvisatory jazz, soaked in Indian and Middle Eastern styles, CTS blends disparate elements into an utterly original whole. A relentless touring schedule has earned them a fervent following around the world, with fans ranging from tie dye covered hippies to metalheads decked out in black.         Fresh off the heels of a tour of seated performances which highlighted their acoustic instruments and first ever “hybrid” album, the band is ready to get back to the face-melting electric shows they have become known for. Their most recent Maxx Power Tour featured material from throughout the band’s history, bringing back songs from the very beginning, each album, and a couple of the electric tracks from their latest effort “Hybrid Vol.1: Such As A Mule”. Additionally, the band is preparing for the release of their next album in 2024 which they have shared will include “some of the heaviest music we have written yet” and plan to begin weaving into their live shows on this tour.        CTS have performed in a half-dozen countries across three continents. They have shared the stage with a wide variety of artists, including: Victor Wooten, King Crimson Projekt, Wyclef Jean, Ozric Tentacles, Soulive, The Disco Biscuits, Papadosio, Turkuaz, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Wayne Krantz, TAUK, Spafford and many others. They have performed at festivals and events including: Electric Forest, Peach Fest, Northlands, Gathering of the Vibes, Resonance, Summercamp, Shakori Hills, ProgDay, and Progtober.  – 16+, under 16 admitted with a ticketed parent or guardian

Dale Hollow w/ Sarah Adams

Globe Hall Presents Dale Hollow with Sarah Adams on Tuesday, November 7th. “Stupid is as stupid does / does that make me the dumbest one of all time?” — Dale Hollow, “Hack of the Year”A bit Andy Kaufman, a little Orville Peck, a hint of Father John Misty, Dale Hollow possesses “a fascinating combination of performance and purveyed authenticity,” as the lifestyle magazine Mundane once posited, while also noting that “no other country music artist has ever claimed to be the best, except for Dale Hollow.”Legend has it that Dale actually tried to trademark the phrase “The Country Music Superstar,” so every time someone like Luke Bryan, Loretta Lynn, Jessica Simpson or Darius Rucker attached that phrase to their names, Dale gets some cash.And while Hollow can be purposely self-elevating, that seemingly tall tale is true. “I sent $150 to the copyright office…and I got denied instantly,” he says. “That’s why I use that parenthetical justification (trademark pending).”A mysterious figure in the country music world, here’s what we do know: Hollow, who hails from Nashville and is named after the Kentucky reservoir, had an inauspicious start to his music career. The future country legend was just trying to pay off $35,000 in back taxes. “I was tryingto get cash fast,” he admits. “One day, sitting in an internet cafe, I read this article that detailed how Luke Bryan was the most profitable artist in streaming. So I just thought, ‘I’ll do what he does.’”Thankfully, that odd inspiration has led to some not-so-seriously good music. Dale’s new record, Hack of the Year, is a hoot, full of crooning, shuffling beats, yelps and plenty of self-effacing singalongs. “Don’t Wanna Do Anything” is a legit slacker anthem, while “I’m a Lover” serves as a rollickin’ love song with a hint of Roadhouse menace. Several moments here, including the title track and “Dead End Job,” possess a real sense of melancholy.There’s also a stream of consciousness at work on the album, most notably with “Cowboys on TV,” a hootenanny take on listicle songs (akin to “It’s the End of the World As We Know It”). “It’s such a dumb idea,” says Hollow, almost proudly. “It started as a story about wanting to be a cowboy, and it ended up with me Google-ing performers who had played cowboys on screen and reading off the list. Maybe Google gets a co write on that one.”Dig a little deeper into Hack of the Year and you’ll find fun little details: The record features several verbal monologues (h/t to Ray Price’s honky tonk classic Night Life), some country music Easter eggs (including a Gary LaVox/Rascal Flatts shoutout) and even some influences from outside of the country music world. Including, surprise, Childish Gambino. Says Dale: “I love his sense of borderline unnecessary oversaturation of pop culture references” (and those are in abundance on Hack, be it Forrest Gump, Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow or NFTs).- 16+, under 16 admitted with a ticketed parent or guardian
