Spring Fling Concert Schedule:
- March 15, 2012 – Mockingbird Sun – www.mockingbirdsun.com
From Hank Williams to Tom Petty, the boys of Mockingbird Sun draw from the slow, blue heat of vintage country to forge whiskey-washed folk with classic American rock and roll. The group came together through collaborations with veteran country songwriter Tom Douglas, whose credits include Miranda Lambert’s “The House That Built Me,” Lady Antebellum’s “I Run to You” and Tim McGraw’s “Southern Voice.” After rehearsals in Nashville, the trio hit the road and performed throughout Texas and the Southeast as an opening act for Toby Keith, Jack Ingram, Pat Green and others. In the spring of 2011, the band traveled to Muscle Shoals, AL, to work with Mac McAnally, known for his collaborations with Jimmy Buffett and Kenny Chesney, among others. Mockingbird Sun’s first project, The Muscle Shoals EP, was released in September 2011 and includes the single, “Lucky Guy,” co-written with Liz Rose, one of Taylor Swift’s frequent songwriting collaborators. Mockingbird Sun writes what they love and they play it with a Texas twang and a Tennessee twist! (Live Video) - March 22, 2012 – Act of Congress – www.actofcongressmusic.com
Hailing From Birmingham, AL, the organic sound of Act of Congress combines hook-laden melodies, compelling songwriting and intelligent acoustic instrumentation that’s rapidly gathering attention throughout the country. Eagerly awaiting the release OF their second album “Worth Fighting For” Act of Congress’ sound is grounded, approachable and technically masterful. The band has performed for Billboard, NPR, Paste Online, Disney and SXSW. They’ve also been featured on the nationally syndicated Woodsongs Radio on XM radio. Act of Congress have previously won the IMWS Disc Makers Grand Prize and Colgate Country Showdown regional’s. In 2011, they performed their original music with four regional symphonies including the Alabama Symphony Orchestra, backed up country music star, Sara Evans, and were voted one of the must- see acts of Alabama. Act of Congress also was also featured in the prestigious 2011 year of Alabama Music. (Live Video) - March 29, 2012 – Flow Tribe – www.flowtribe.com
Straight out of New Orleans and into your earholes, Flow Tribe comes at you with the delicacy of a sledgehammer! They create “backbone- cracking music”, a soul-shaking mixture of styles and sounds guaranteed to drive you wild! These are six seasoned performers who have shared the stage with the likes of Trombone Shorty, Juvenile and Bill Summers just to name a few. A relentlessly touring band that plays major venues and festivals around the country bringing with them a heat and passion best described as “bizarrely irresistible”. (Live Video) - April 5, 2012 – Vintage Trouble – www.vintagetrouble.com
Live-wired, straight-shootin, pelvis-pushin’ juke music! LA-based Vintage Trouble is a sensational, soulful band whose very essence screams out loud of the 1950s. Turned on by and tuned into the evolutionary period in music and life when there was a razor thin line between rhythm & blues and rock & roll, the band reconnects us all to one universal vibration. Their modern day classics transport the mind, spirit and body back to a sweaty, swinging, heart-thumping speakeasy. Their live shows feel like a down-home revival mixed with a gritty, downtown edge. When the buzz tells you they’re near, get to them…and be prepared to be moved! The band won “Best New Band” at the 2011 Classic Rock awards in the UK and their album debuted at #1 R&B and #2 Rock album on Amazon UK. (Live Video) - April 12, 2012 – Heritage – www.heritageband.com
A reggae feel, an island rock vibe, funk and R&B… mix them together and you get Heritage. A bunch of guys just doing what they love – making music and having fun! Although comprised of seven very different ethnic backgrounds and personalities, the individual flavors fuse together to create great music that many fans describe as eclectic island pop. The synergy between them is extraordinary and it’s a dynamic live show you won’t want to miss! (Live Video)
