DUG w/ Nathaniel Riley
Globe Hall Presents DUG with Nathaniel Riley on Friday, January 30th – KITCHEN OPENS AT 5PM! There’s a natural magnetism to DUG’s folk brew. The duo, made up of Conor (Lorkin) O’Reilly and Jonny Pickett, are gearing up for the release of their debut album, having formed in 2023–but you’d be forgiven for believing that they’ve been writing together for a lifetime. Their music stems from roots in musical traditions spanning both sides of the pond. In one breath, echoing the great American folk troubadours, and in another, comfortably channelling the elder statesmen of Irish folk. This is no accident. DUG have a shared musical heritage, with members having been born in America and Scotland before arriving in Ireland. O’Reilly himself spent almost a decade making and releasing music in upstate New York, having picked up sticks from his native Edinburgh, (Irish mother and Scottish father) before moving to Ireland in 2022 to start a new musical chapter. And you can hear that lived musical experience in singles like ‘Big Sundown’ and ‘Jubilee’ (shortlisted for two Grammy nominations). Resonator guitar and banjo, the building blocks of DUG’s arrangements, lick and spin, with intricate finger-picking patterns whirling to a compelling whole. Their music breathes, vamping in sync. They’re damn funny too. DUG’s lyrics catch you off guard, eliciting an honest-to-goodness chuckle in a moment of levity. At their very best, as on their forthcoming album, there’s a bona fide warmth littered throughout their unique take on folk storytelling. Tracks like ‘Wheel of Fortune’ have an easy rapport. It’s catching up with an old friend, all mischief and smiles. There are allusions to darker moments there too; yearning and melancholy, to lessons learnt the hard way. Taking the heavy with the light, and being able to translate it into a foot-tapping, infectious contemporary folk sound is what DUG do best. They don’t need to posture; their music is naturally playful and honest, inviting you along on their musical journey. It should come as no surprise that a group that delights in a touch of devilment and so ardently remains true to themselves has built a thriving community of fans, both at their live shows and through their often hilarious social media. On that note, beyond the release of their debut album, DUG will spend much of 2025 on the road with plans for an extensive international tour. Already announced are Summer dates in the US: Colorado (main stage at Telluride Blugrass Festival), Washington, Portland and Idaho, as well as a debut tour in Australia in October. Irish fans can expect a surely raucous performance at almost every major Irish festival this summer. There’s plenty more dates still to be announced, so it’s well worth keeping your eyes peeled.

Mark Mackay – Rock’n Rollin’ Guitar Slingin’ Christmas Tour w/ Sun jr. + Meg Walker
Globe Hall Presents Mark Mackay – Rock’n Rollin’ Guitar Slingin’ Christmas Tour with Sun jr. and Meg Walker on Thursday, December 18th. KITCHEN OPENS AT 5PM! Blazing guitars and reflective storytelling; spirited swagger and compassionate vulnerability. The artistry of Mark Mackay is inclusive, projecting a vivid panorama of arena-ready rock and roll crosscut with country soul — an authentic genre of pure American music channeled through the captivating sincerity of an eloquent singer-songwriter. Mark Mackay has performed thousands of shows as a headliner at clubs, concerts, festivals, and fairs, and as an opening act for rockers like The Steve Miller Band, REO Speedwagon, and Night Ranger, and country hitmakers Blake Shelton, Tim McGraw, Eli Young, and Gary Allan. He has commanded center stage at The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, and in 2025, Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. Whether fronting his band of A-list players, or in intimate solo performances, Mark’s audience connection is profound. “I’m staying true to myself, and the kind of music I like, and the stories I like telling,” Mark avows. “I don’t make a big deal about driving, but yeah, I am always zipping around the country, interacting with people, and reminiscing about their stories, and how music brings us all together.” On his lead single, “Old Songs and Old Trucks” Mark is a confiding storyteller, embracing sweet nostalgia behind the wheel of a S-10 Chevy truck. Memories echo in the bittersweet “Things You Say,” a song that Mark explains onstage as: “A song about taking stock of your whole life and all the decisions you’ve made along the way.” Charged with adrenaline, “Get Away” is a full throttle riff-driven road burner. “Crash” is narrated with sly undertones, in the words, “You weren’t after my money/But you knew I had plenty to bail you out.” The spooky “Crazy About the Moonlight” is ignited by thunderous rock intensity, while “Let Her Fly,” is aloft with acceptance. In tune with tumultuous times, “I Am Love,” is a galvanizing anthem of unity that Mark introduces in concert with these words, “Here’s a song about something we should sing more about in this country every day.” With his first fashion collaboration, designing a t-shirt in tandem with Ventura, CA based apparel company Iron and Resin, Mark is initiating new creative outlets. Now in its third year, the national month-long “Rockin’ and Rollin’ Guitar Slinging Christmas Tour” has expanded to include multiple dates in California, Utah, Montana, Colorado, Ohio, and New York. “There are some striking similarities to what I’ve been writing lately and what my music was like back then,” he muses. “The nuts and bolts are eerily similar. It’s a litmus test, back to me and my guitar and what I feel like singing.” Like his legendary musical heroes, he embraces the sound of his personal truth. “I grew up on Bruce Springsteen and John Mellencamp. I’m so moved that over the years they were up there in denim jackets singing songs about America that were meaningful and emotional. I still believe in great songs and guitar solos. That’s become my rallying cry.” All ages, ticketed guests under 16 ONLY ADMITTED WITH TICKETED GUARDIAN 21+ All sales are final.

Courtney Marie Andrews w/ Aubory Bugg
Globe Hall Presents Courtney Marie Andrews with Aubory Bugg on Tuesday, April 14th — KITCHEN OPENS AT 5PM! Valentine is “a record in pursuit of love,” says Courtney Marie Andrews. But love, it turns out, “is a lot more than I gave it credit for,” she explains. “It’s built over years, it’s built with trust, with changes, it becomes something new and unrecognizable, the deeper you go.” Written at the junction of intense endings and beginnings in her life, Valentine demands more of those we love and reveals a stronger, wiser, and more clear-eyed Courtney Marie Andrews in the process. It is both lush and elemental, precise in its construction but rich with sonic and lyrical layers. In love and on Valentine, there is no quarter for empty gestures. From her very first recordings, to her 2016’s breakthrough Honest Life, to 2020’s Grammy nominated Old Flowers and her most recent Loose Future, Andrews has been celebrated as an artist who challenges herself, and who finds new interplays of Folk and Americana. “As a songwriter you can make the same record over and over again,” Andrews says, “and I’m not interested in that. I make records to stand alone and stand apart from each other.” Co-produced with Jerry Bernhardt and recorded almost entirely to tape, Valentine features complete in-studio performances, hinging on performance rather than perfection. “We thought a lot about Lee Hazlewood, about Big Star’s Third and Fleetwood Mac’s Tusk” says Andrews, and that constellation of stars is apparent here. Valentine feels elegant, disciplined and balanced but never cold, always vulnerable and human. “I was in one of the darkest periods of my life, and songs were the only way I could reckon with it,” says Andrews. “I felt cursed, and the only mental cure felt like songwriting and painting.” The near-death of a loved one loomed over everything, and while that person eventually recovered from both sickness and psychosis, Andrews was more sure that death was coming than recovery. Her grief was acute, volatile. The decline coincided with a new romance, but rather than lift her up, the two emotional poles seemed to bleed into each other to sow doubt, trouble, even obsession. “I was grappling with what I felt sure was death, and with the end of that relationship,” Andrews explains, “while I was also grappling with something new but quite unstable. Here was this new relationship evolving alongside the collapse of another.” Andrews is, and has always been, unafraid to say the thing. Her songs are challenging but compassionate, they welcome us in but push us to venture out. And this, in the end, may do the most to explain Valentine as both a theme and title. Andrews rejects the objectification of love, the love filled with gestures and objects instead of trust, mess, and growth. In doing so, she delivers her most beautiful and loving album to date.

Globe Hall Presents Cousin Curtiss with Crow Cavalier and Nolen & Friends on Friday, January 9th. KITCHEN OPENS AT 5PM! Cousin Curtiss is a powerhouse duo delivering a high-voltage blend of roots rock, blues, and Americana that hits like Mumford & Sons meets AC/DC. Together, Cousin Curtiss, wielding rapid-fire acoustic guitar, incendiary harmonica, and a cannon of a kick drum, and guitarist Harrison B, whose tone channels David Gilmour’s atmosphere and Gary Clark Jr.’s grit, create a two-man wall of sound. Raw, soulful, and relentlessly energetic. “Blues at bluegrass speeds,” “rock Americana with a soulful drip”—whatever you call it, Cousin Curtiss and Harrison B don’t just play music; they ignite it and bring it to life.

Since relocating to Steamboat Springs and Denver, Colorado in 2016, the band has truly hit its stride, blending traditional bluegrass roots with a playful, innovative spirit. Known for their high-energy performances and infectious camaraderie, DCSS creates a show experience that’s as much about connection as it is about music. From blistering, fast-paced bluegrass jams to quirky, crowd-pleasing tunes about cats, their setlists are as dynamic as their personalities. Drawing inspiration from bluegrass legends and weaving in their own unique twist, DCSS offers a sound that’s equal parts tradition and fresh creativity. Named “Best New Bluegrass Band” by Denver Westword in 2022, DCSS has performed at prestigious festivals such as WinterWonderGrass Steamboat, Palisade Bluegrass and Roots, The Ramble Festival, and Tico Time Bluegrass Festival. In 2023, they released their debut album, Crik, a collection of original songs that showcase their musicianship, storytelling, and sense of fun.

Skullcrusher
Globe Hall Presents Skullcrusher on Saturday, April 4th – KITCHEN OPENS AT 5PM! And Your Song is Like a Circle, the second album from New York-based artist Skullcrusher, a.k.a. Helen Ballentine, winds its way into an everchanging, unstable core. Recorded piecemeal over a period of years following the release of her celebrated 2022 debut, Quiet the Room, And Your Song is Like a Circle does not capture experience – it gestures toward the imprint of an experience that is uncapturable. Swaying between vaporous folk and crystalline electronics, landing somewhere in the snowfields shared by Grouper and Julia Holter, Circle probes the ways that grief turns itself inside out. Loss itself becomes as real and substantial as what’s been lost. Ballentine began writing Circle after leaving Los Angeles, a city she’d called home for nearly a decade. She ended up returning upstate to New York’s Hudson Valley, where she was born and raised. Several years of intense isolation followed, and Ballentine immersed herself in films, books, and art that reflected the rupture of relocating cross-country and its dissociative aftershocks. Throughout the record, the line between human and machine blurs. On “Maelstrom,” voices crash between echoing drumbeats like water through a cavern. The vocal filigrees on “Exhale” fan out into a haze of synthesizers and strings. “Dragon” lets piano echo over tight, gritted percussion. If Skullcrusher’s first album rendered the detailed intimacies of domestic space, Circle finds itself vaporized across the landscape: swirling, drifting, searching. It skirts an event horizon in long, slow strokes. These are songs that vibrate with the fervency of an attempt to capture a moment, to draw a circle around it. “I like thinking about my work as a collection,” Ballentine says. “Eventually it might form a circle. Each time I make something, I’m putting another line around the body of work. It feels like I’ll be trying to trace it for my whole life.” All ages, ticketed guests under 16 ONLY ADMITTED WITH TICKETED GUARDIAN 21+ All sales are final.
