Free First Friday feat. Northern National and Night Traveler
2019-02-01 19:30 | 106 S Main St, Bryan, TX, 77803, United States
NORTHERN NATIONAL
Alternative Band Northern National released their debut EP, The New Age, in the fall of 2016 and have never looked back. The Dallas, TX based 4 piece has toured with acts such as Blue October, The Unlikely Candidates and The Band Camino and shared the stage with more. The New Age features 5 indie-rock gems, including their debut single, Love is Fire, and their heartfelt love song Dallas which caught the attention of Spotify.
Love is Fire was featured on Spotify’s Discover Weekly playlist and charted on Spotify’s Viral 50 worldwide. Music curators such as Topsify, Filtr, and even Coca-Cola, have also featured the song on their playlists. Since the release of The New Age, Northern National’s songs have been streamed over 1.8 million times and counting. You might have even heard them while watching TBS or MTV.
Fresh off of their tour with Blue October, Northern National partnered with producer Dwight Baker (Missio) in Austin, TX. Together they crafted their second EP titled D.A.R.K. which released in June of 2018.
Their single Slow Down might be their most radio friendly song to date. It’s been featured on New Noise & Alternative Generation and is climbing in streams daily. Opening with a chorus of “Woahs” and a foot stomping beat that’s sure to get stuck in your head, you will be singing along before the first verse even starts. If there is a band to watch in 2018, Northern National is at the top of that list.

THE SOUND IS CHARGED BY A COMBINATION OF POCKET GROOVES, ELECTRONIC SYNTHS AND ELECTRIC GUITAR. (80’S/STRANGER THINGS) ACCOMPANIED BY HAUNTING VOCALS CONVEYING EMOTION. THE SOUND CONTINUED TO DEVELOP AS THEY BEGAN WRITING TOGETHER. AFTER COMPLETING 1984, THE TWO REALIZED THEY HAD SOMETHING SPECIAL AND DECIDED TO DROP WHAT THEY WERE DOING TO PURSUE IT.
FEBRUARY 1ST OF 2018, NIGHT TRAVELER WAS BORN.
“OUR VISION FOR NIGHT TRAVELER IS TO CREATE TIMELESS MUSIC THAT PEOPLE OF ALL AGES AND BACKGROUNDS CAN COME TOGETHER AND ENJOY. WE WANT OUR REAL PERSONALITIES TO SHINE AS WE ENGAGE WITH THE AUDIENCES IN EACH SHOW WE PERFORM. WHO WE ARE IS IMPORTANT TO US. WE’RE GOOFY, WE’RE REAL, WE EXPRESS STRONG EMOTIONS AND FEELING THROUGH OUR MUSIC AND WE HOPE THAT OUR LISTENERS CAN RELATE TO OUR SOUND.

SARA DAVIS REGAN
Indie Folk artist Sara Davis Regan is 25 and living in Katy, TX. She got her start when discovered by Penny and Sparrow, who became her musical mentors and co-producers. After touring with them, Davis finally released her first EP, Summit Hour in 2015. Her effortless musicality and her pure yet strong vocals make her a captivating performer. Her music swells with intricate layers of vocals and melody that are wildly mature and that tend to tug at your depths. All of this is woven together by words carefully chosen and honest.
BRODY PRICE
“Brody Price is a songwriter to the core, delivering stripped down country music in which the lyrics take center stage, proving that volume isn’t the only thing capable of turning heads. As a teenager, Price fell in love with lyricists such as Todd Snider, John Prine and Guy Clark, and discovered that country music has always had a special place reserved for the outcast. Price’s sophomore effort, ‘What’s the Point in Trying,’ is a full-length collection of lo-fi country songs written and recorded last winter. Laced with pedal steel and sparse fingerpicking, ‘What’s the Point in Trying’ features songs that are just as raw emotionally as they are musically. ‘I’m not doing anything new… and I’m not trying to. All that I want to do is write about ordinary things in an extraordinary way… I think honest music can make people feel less alone. I hope that my records and live shows make people feel that way.'”
EMILY ORR
Emily Orr is a 22 year-old student at Texas A&M from Austin, TX. Her indie alternative sound has been recently developed in her first project, CAVERNS, an EP that will be released on January 25th. This project includes songs about her life — the love, the ache, the dark days and the light. Emily creates music with hopes to bring joy, comfort, and freedom to listeners’ lives in the same way that many artists’ music have brought to hers.

The Fox in the Ground
Singer songwriter Jonathan Richter after playing by himself locally for a time decided that being alone was no fun and recruited the best players he could find to help fill out the sound he had in mind for his songs. What became of that recruitment is The Fox in the Ground.
Guys on a Bus
Guys On a Bus brings a party experience to the indie scene every time.

An Evening with BJ Barham
2019-02-20 19:00 | 106 S Main St, Bryan, TX, 77803, United States
American Aquarium has been touring extensively in support of their latest release Things Change, a powerful narrative chronicling the last two years as seen through the eyes of front man BJ Barham. Stacked with his signature storytelling, which is deeply personal and instantly relatable, the album is an introspective reflection of personal growth and change, which also touches on the current social climate in our country. Produced by Grammy nominated singer/songwriter John Fulbright, the band’s seventh studio album is their finest collection of southern rock-n-roll to date and the group’s first release on a label after building a loyal fan base and selling thousands of records on their own. American Aquarium recently made their television debut on Last Call with Carson Daly and their music has received praise from press including NPR Music, Billboard, Associated Press, American Songwriter and Rolling Stone who says, “‘Things Change’ is an unabashed rock & roll record – a snapshot of a band and its reinvigorated leader.”

The Gray Havens
2019-02-21 19:00 | 106 S Main St, Bryan, TX, 77803, United States
The Gray Havens
The Gray Havens centers around husband/wife Dave and Licia Radford. Since their beginning in 2013, their projects have been hailed as “an imaginative treatment of faith…[having] a visionary quality that’s both playful and enraptured.” They have a knack for creating a listening experience similar to paging through your favorite book, with richly textured compositions and multi-layered lyrics. Releasing their debut EP on NoiseTrade in 2013, and their first full-length album, Fire and Stone, in 2015, the duo has gained a steady following of listeners nationwide.
Their newest release, Ghost of a King, debuted at #3 on the iTunes singer- songwriter charts, rewarding listeners with immersive soundscapes and lyrical imagination. From poetic – almost Shakespearean – imagery to grand epics fit for a darkened concert halls, to pop music infused with loops and infectious beats, the album possess a remarkable range. In the context of that refreshing variety, the album stays cohesive thanks to its exploration of the human condition of longing.
Today, The Gray Havens are making the most well-cra ed music of their career. Their “Ghost of a King Tour” is a mixture of acoustic duo and full band performances that include string players from colleges across the country.

Keeton Coffman with Michael Witt
2019-02-22 20:00 | 106 S Main St, Bryan, TX, 77803, United States
KEETON COFFMAN
“From the moment Keeton Coffman took the stage, it was painfully obvious that this guy belongs in front of a crowd at all times” (Houston Press). Heartland Rock and Roll perhaps best describes Coffman’s wide ranging style on his first full length album, Killer Eyes. From the heel-stomping corner pub song “What We’re Reaching For” and the dancehall flavor of “Ellie” and “Killer Eyes” to the Gospel infused “The Mountain“, Keeton’s style of music evokes the small town Texas sound he grew up with, matched with the knuckle and grit of his true Rock and Roll soul.

MICHAEL WITT
Armed with a stage presence as poignant and moving as his vocal delivery, Michael Witt is a singer/songwriter from Bryan, Texas that delivers unwavering sincerity and emotion in his music. Michael’s unapologetically honest songwriting and emotive live performances are indicative of a musical wisdom far beyond his years. After spending his teen years writing and learning various instruments, Michael has developed his signature sound into a unique blend of acoustic-driven folk and electric indie energy that has drawn comparisons to Ben Howard. These elements come together to create an ethereal atmosphere that perfectly accompanies his vivid storytelling. Michael’s debut EP “As A Brother” is out now on all major music platforms.

Join us at Grand Stafford Theater with Blue Water Highway!
Doors at 7:30pm – Music at 8pm
Tickets $10 in advance – $12 at the door

Blue Water Highway comes from the working class, coastal town background that has informed the work of so many of rock’s greatest writers and artists.They take their name from the roadway that links their hometown of LakeJackson, Texas to Galveston, where the cops, the teachers, the baristas and the chemical plant workers travel to work hard and to play hard, blowing off steam, dancing to their favorite bands. Blue Water Highway’s music is the soundtrack for their lives. “Best Friend” is the first single from their upcoming album Heartbreak City, coming out on Blue Water Highway Records/ThirtyTigers on June 8th. With a hook that’s a mile wide, it chronicles the lives, loves and friendships that sustain us. Blue Water Highway was started by two “best friends” from high school-Zack Kibodeaux (lead vocals, guitar) and GregEssington (vocals/guitar). Zack then turned to Catherine Clarke(vocals/keyboard) to complete the three-part harmonies the band would soon be known for. They were then joined by Kyle Smith (Bass) and Jared Wilson(drums).

Waitin' on Hayden with Jordan Nix and the Day Drinkers
2019-04-12 19:30 | 106 S Main St, Bryan, TX, 77803, United States
WAITIN’ ON HAYDEN
Formed in 2015, and dubbed the unapologetic country red dirt rock group from San Antonio, Texas, the band of five consists of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Darrell Gibbons, pedal steel and lead guitar player Rusty Shackleford, lead guitarist Hayden Krueger, drummer Troy Stone, and bassist Jonathan Kollodziej. Together the group creates a tasteful blend of true country and southern rock, with just the right amount of Texas grit. With rich vocal work to bring out the emotion of their lyrics, melodic harmonies between guitars and pedal steel, and a powerful backing rhythm, this band places its main emphasis on giving the audience a one of a kind performance that will leave them asking for more.
JORDAN NIX AND THE DAY DRINKERS
What can be described as nothing other than luck, or destiny, or whatever you want to call it. Jordan Nix, Dane Farrington, and Robert Herrera all got jobs selling gear at Guitar Center in College Station, TX. Jordan, Robert, and Dane began playing duo and trio shows in College Station and the surrounding areas. After months of playing shows, working, and attending concerts and festivals together, the group decided that they wanted to really invest in their music. The three played their first show as Jordan Nix & The Day Drinkers in September of 2017. Shortly after, Robert White joined the band to complete the group, and finish the sound the band had been looking for. Although, all the members have a very different set of influences and musical background, they come together to create a very unique, bold, Americana based sound they refer to as “Rustic Rock”. The band released their first single in march of 2018 titled ‘Gas Station Flowers’. JNDD is set to release their self titled debut album ‘Happier Than Normal’ in the Fall of 2018.

TICKETS ON SALE FEB 8TH 12PM

Honest Men with Vacation Manor and NIGHT TRAVELER.
Doors at 8pm – Music at 8:30pm
$8 in advance – $10 at the door

HONEST MEN

Formed in 2015 in Waco, Texas, Honest Men crafted their bright indie rock sound on the heels of winning the battle of the bands at their college alma mater, Baylor University. Singer Seth Findley, guitarist Brooks Whitehurst, and drummer Zach Solomon spent the next six months honing their sound and playing shows in their home state before adding bassist Nathan Wallace to the lineup the same winter.
With a collection of songs mixing 80’s tinged synth-pop with guitar-forward indie rock, Honest Men headed to Nashville in the summer of 2016 to record their debut EP, “Okay Dreamer”, which self-released the following January. Hallmarked by the lead single “Colors” and reminiscent of such bands as The Killers, Young the Giant, and WALK THE MOON, the band headlined the EP and their energetic live show all over Texas for the next year as well as supporting acts such as Smash Mouth, COIN, Colony House, Kings Kaleidoscope, Elephante and more.
2018 saw the band relocate to Austin, Texas and record a follow up to 2017’s debut. “Honest Men”, the self-titled EP, released worldwide in May 2018, showcases a much more polished and versatile sound for the band, anchored by vibrant singles such as “Mad Love”, “I’m Okay”, and “Rose”.
2017 and 2018 were formative years for the band, honing their sound, crafting a buzz-worthy live show, and a long list of firsts. With no signs of slowing down, Honest Men continues to write music and play shows across the US.

VACATION MANOR
Since releasing their first EP, Girl, Say, in 2016 and the follow-up single, “Fading,” in 2017, Vacation Manor has accrued more than 5 million Spotify streams and performed their unique brand of warm, bright, heartfelt musings around the Midwest and East Coast, including opening for acts such as The Lone Bellow, Dawes, Colony House, Dave Barnes, Magic Man, and more. It’s also possible you’ve heard some of the group’s songs in Starbucks, Gap, and Banana Republic.
The band’s latest album, Everything I Can’t Say Out Loud (releasing September 2018), was recorded live to 2-inch tape, capturing the four-piece’s imaginative and tight-knit feel, by producer/engineer Charlie Stavish (Ryan Adams, Foster the People, Imagine Dragons) in Joshua Tree, California.
Vacation Manor’s charming, chiming tunes include summery anthems and nostalgic autumnal afternoon vibes that will work on you year round — honest and reflective songs of romantic hopefulness, longing, loss, and rebirth — all told with earnest vocals, precise-yet-sparkling guitar hooks, soulful synth-scapes, dance-worthy drum and bass rhythms, and choruses both catchy and thoughtful.

American Aquarium w/ Joshua Ray Walker
2019-05-07 19:00 | 106 S Main St, Bryan, TX, 77803, United States
AMERICAN AQUARIUM
In the lush tobacco fields of North Carolina where BJ Barham was raised, people work hard. Families stay nearby, toiling and growing together. BJ loves those farms and his tiny Reidsville hometown, but he had to run off and start American Aquarium, a band now beloved by thousands.
BJ couldn’t stay. But he couldn’t really leave, either: he’s still singing about the lessons, stories, and lives that define rural America––and him.
“I moved to the big city to go to college and fell in love with music,” BJ says. “But half the songs on our record are about small towns––little pieces of my childhood. I’ve had moments where it turns out a piece of broken English my father repeated twice a week is the most accurate way to say something. So I put it in a song.”
American Aquarium’s seventh studio album Things Change offers the band’s finest collection of folk-infused Southern rock-and-roll to date. Stacked with BJ’s signature storytelling––always deeply personal but also instantly relatable––the record questions and curses current events, shares one man’s intimate evolution, and leaves listeners with a priceless gift: hope.
JOSHUA RAY WALKER
RAISED ON THE MUSIC OF THE SMOKEY MOUNTAINS, JOSHUA RAY WALKER TOOK A PRECARIOUS PATH BACK TO TRADITIONAL COUNTRY MUSIC.
