After opening for Loudon Wainwright III a few years back, AMY LAVERE— singer, songwriter, storyteller, and upright bass player — returns to Louisville just after the release of Stranger Me, her upcoming album on the Memphis-based indie Archer Records label. The 11 tracks go deep into exploring uncomfortable emotions, defiant sassiness, and off-humor — all with Amy’s uniquely twisted perspective. Nashville-based TRISTEN's American Myth debut, Charlatans At The Garden Gate, is an impassioned collection of finely honed modern pop - exquisite arrangements and an intuitive lyrical approach that weaves classic country, traditional rock ‘n’ roll, and singer/songwriter balladry. She heads to Louisville fresh from appearances at this summer's Bonnaroo and Ottowa Jazz Festivals.
