Old 97s at FITZGERALDS Outdoors w/ special guest Ha Ha Tonka

FITZGERALDS Presents:Old 97s at FITZGERALDS Outdoorsw/ special guest HA HA TONKAFITZGERALDS OUTDOORS is the name we give large outdoor concerts with a festival style setup: a large stage with a state of the art sound system, lights, and Pavilion to protect from any inclement weather will make for an incredible outdoor show at our historic old nightlcub!The thirteenth studio album from Old 97s, American Primitive arose from what vocalist/guitarist Rhett Miller refers to as a de-evolution of the legendary Dallas-bred band. As much as I want us to calm down and grow up, the songs that felt right for this record were mostly big and loud and brutal and dirty, says Miller, whose bandmates include bassist Murry Hammond, guitarist Ken Bethea, and drummer Philip Peeples. Arriving just months before the 30th anniversary of Hitchhike to Rhomea powerhouse debut that played a vital part in pioneering the alt-country genrethe result is a gloriously rowdy body of work, revealing a veteran band more attuned than ever to the raw and reckless energy of truly timeless rock-and-roll.With its title lifted from a bit of fictional art criticism in Stephen Kings psych-horror novel Duma Key, American Primitive merges its unvarnished sound with the punchy yet poignant storytelling signature to Old 97s, radiating a rambunctious joy even as Millers lyrics contend with complex questions of love and mental illness and the routinely daunting state of the world. Produced by Tucker Martine (My Morning Jacket, The Decemberists, Neko Case) and featuring iconic guest musicians like Peter Buck of R.E.M. and Scott McCaughey of The Young Fresh Fellows and The Minus 5, the album took shape in a series of deliberately whirlwind sessions at Flora Studio in Portland, Oregon. This was the first record weve ever done with zero pre-production, Miller points out. Its us working completely on instinct, leaning on 30 years of playing together to come up with something on the fly rather than overthinking any of our choices.Enjoy BABYGOLD BARBECUE before during and after the show by booking a table in the dining room, OR visiting the fast casual BBQ set up in the back corner of the patio!
