Earth w/ Burning Sister
Globe Hall Presents Earth with Burning Sister on Tuesday, June 13 — Over the course of their thirty trips around the sun, Earth has remained diligent in their commitment to monolithic minimalism. The sonic vocabulary may have changed—from their early years churning out seismic drone metal on albums like Earth 2 (1993) to the dusty Morricone-tinged comeback album Hex; Or Printing in the Infernal Method (2005) to the meditative rock approach of Primitive and Deadly (2014)—but the underlying principle of austerity and restraint remains a constant. With their latest album Full Upon Her Burning Lips, Earth purges the layers of auxiliary instrumentation that embellished some of their previous records and deconstructed their dynamic to the core duo of Dylan Carlson on guitar and bass and Adrienne Davies on drums and percussion. In the process, they tapped into the Platonic ideal of Earth—an incarnation of the long running band bolstered by the authority of purpose, where every note and every strike on the drum kit carries the weight of the world. Full Upon Her Burning Lips opens with “Datura’s Crimson Veils”, a twelve-minute opus that adheres to Earth’s 21st century approach with Carlson’s sepia-toned Bakersfield Sound guitars lurching across a barren landscape while Davies punctuates the melodies with death knell drums. It’s a sound that harkens back to the riff-constructed vistas of their Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light albums, but stripped of their ornateness. “It was definitely a very organically developed record,” Carlson says of the process. “I limited the number of effects I used. I always like the limiting of materials to force oneself to employ them more creatively. Previous Earth records were quite lush sounding, and I wanted a more upfront and drier sound, using very few studio effects.” In less capable hands, these kinds of limitations might diminish the aural scope of the compositions, but Carlson and Davies have always thrived on reductive methods. The stripped down approach had another advantage. “I really wanted the drums to be present,” Carlson says. “I felt with previous Earth records that other instrumentation took up so much of the sonic space that the drums were kind of pushed to the side.” This tactic helps highlight Davies’ ability to elevate the drum kit beyond its mere metronomic functions and allows it to serve as an expressive, nuanced, and tonally rich component to Earth’s arsenal of sound. – 16+, under 16 admitted with a ticketed parent or guardian
The Mountain Grass Unit w/ Chris Ryan Weist Trio (Members of Wood Belly)
Globe Hall Presents The Mountain Grass Unit with Chris Ryan Weist Trio (Members of Wood Belly) on Friday, August 11th. The Mountain Grass Unit consists of three Birmingham pickers, Drury Anderson (mandolin and vocals), Luke Black (acoustic guitar and banjo), and Sam Wilson (upright bass). The Mountain Grass Unit has played music festivals, private functions and multiple music venues, playing bluegrass tunes and adding a bluegrass touch to country, jazz, funk, rock, and even metal. With the addition of Luke Black and Sam Wilson on harmonies, The Mountain Grass Unit has established the firm foundation to take on not only the vocal harmonies of traditional bluegrass tunes, but also the freedom to adapt songs from various genres to an all-acoustic format. Aside from their original songs, all three are equally comfortable restyling a Tony Rice number, a classic Grateful Dead tune, or covering contemporary acoustic masters like Billy Strings. The youthful exuberance and energy they bring to the stage is always remarkable. Their competency at what they do was best described by Birmingham music promoter Steve Masterson when the boys performed at his Acoustic Café festival: “They don’t just play good for their age, they play good. Period”. Sam, Luke, and Drury are excited to share with their audiences this new and exciting musical chapter.- 16+, under 16 admitted with a ticketed parent or guardian

Chatham County Line w/ Ryan Dart
Globe Hall Presents Chatham County Line with Ryan Dart on Sunday, June 11 — Come 2021, Chatham County Line will have been a staple of the North Carolina music scene for over two decades. Embracing the heart-worn songwriting and rough-hewn voice of leader Dave Wilson the band has graced stages all across the U.S. as well as Europe, Scandinavia, Ireland and the United Kingdom. With eight studio albums of original material to pull from, CCL has a sound all their own and a stage show to match. Songwriter, guitarist and vocalist Dave Wilson pulls tunes out of an ether that is inspired by a shelf bending collection of vinyl records from the 1920’s to the 2020’s. One listen to their all covers release “Sharing the Covers” from 2019 will give you an idea of those inspirations, with songs from the likes of Wilco and Beck shared with those of John Lennon, Tom Petty and John Hartford. With the recording of 2020s Yep Roc Records release Strange Fascination the band decided to push their sound a little bit more into the modern world and embrace the use of drums both in studio and onstage. “We’ve had drums on several albums, most notably Wildwood, and our audience always responded well to those tunes” says Dave Wilson. John Teer who rotates from Mandolin to Fiddle all while singing soaring harmony adds “We’ve done an Electric Holiday Tour for the past 12 years that features an expanded group of musicians on the stage so we’re no stranger to a backbeat.” With 20 years behind and clear skies ahead, look for Dave Wilson (acoustic & electric guitars, harmonica), John Teer (mandolin, fiddle), and Greg Readling (Standup Bass, Pedal Steel) as well as North Carolina staple Dan Hall on drums to keep traveling the highways, byways and airways to share their special canon of songs with the world. – 16+, under 16 admitted with a ticketed parent or guardian
Drayton Farley w/ Travis Roberts + Kainen Kellum
Globe Hall Presents Drayton Farley with Travis Roberts and Kainen Kellum on Tuesday, July 11th. Alabama native Drayton Farley has as honest a voice as you’re likely to hear in this burgeoning scene of country, folk, roots, and Americana music we’re all wrapped up in. With songs and lyrics pulled from real life experience, there’s a grounded feeling to his stories, a confessional quality that rings true to those who know. His voice fills the room like cigarette smoke, curling into every corner of you, with a fine grit rasp that smooths out every rough edge. It lingers hours, days, after you’ve left the bar – turns of phrase that tumble around your mind, bittersweet and familiar. He sings as deeply about the love he holds as the love he’s lost and there’s something so broken-in and comfortable about that Southern inflection that every song feels like coming home. Sharing stages with musicians on the rise such as Zach Bryan, Arlo McKinley and Mike and the Moonpies, Drayton has quickly gained a loyal fan base. – 16+, under 16 admitted with a ticketed parent or guardian

Jon Stork w/ Darcy Nelson + RitaRita
Globe Hall Presents Jon Stork with Darcy Nelson and RitaRita on Friday, June 16th. A young singer-songwriter whose Rockytonk flare and soulful sound has quickly made a name in the Texas scene and beyond, Jon Stork was born and raised in Beasley, Texas. Growing up on the coastal plains and being from a musical family, he picked up a guitar after watching his older brother write, sing and perform in a band (shout out to Letters for June!). As the years went by, he began following new types of music, along with styles, that started influencing the young talent. Texas based artists such as Robert Earl Keen, Pat Green, Roger Creager and more, began taking hold, and the writing of original material started to flow.Working three jobs while going to college in College Station, Texas, Stork began to play locally and try his hand at sharing those songs that had come out over time. Eventually moving away from multiple jobs and the college scene, Stork found himself working in different cities across the country. Ultimately, this moving and shaking returned him back to Houston with not only a drive to make music work, but a pocket full of songs that he had been compiling out on the road. He was given the ultimatum of choosing between work and music, and the choice was made!Playing anywhere and everywhere he could, he found stability in regular gigs and paying shows around the area at local spots. Honing and learning as time went on, Stork recorded and released his debut EP, In Your Radio, in 2017, landing him amongst the top 10 artists on the iTunes country chart. Following the debut, the first standalone single, Rodeo Blues was released in December of that same year, with One Night Stand to follow in 2018. Coming out of summer 2019, Stork’s first full length album, Radio Cowboy was released. The first radio single, Facts and Lies, went #1 on Texas radio in February, 2020. With the arrival of the second single, and the title track, Radio Cowboy, it emerged and climbed quickly, withit ultimately gracing the top of the charts at #2 for multiple weeks. Another Town was released shortly thereafter, in Fall of 2020, and was crowned #1 in February, 2021. Stork released his final single from the Radio Cowboy album in March of 2021. If You Can Dance, hit the radio airwaves as requested by DJ’s across the state. As he tours and plays across the country, he looks forward to having new music on the horizon. “I’m so excited for the future. These songs are the best I’ve ever written. The next project is going to show how much I’ve grown and progressed as an artist and songwriter. I can’t wait for y’all to hear it!” -Jon- 16+, under 16 admitted with a ticketed parent or guardian
