SUMMARY:JT Horne
DESCRIPTION:JT Horne began his musical journey at a young age\, singing in his church’s choir and participating in band and chorus throughout grade school in his small hometown of Worcester\, New York. At age 10\, Horne picked up the guitar and piano and quickly fell in love. When the singer was given Neil Young’s “Decade” some years later from a lifelong friend\, he knew at that moment he not only wanted to play music\, but he also wanted to write and compose it. Since that early age\, music has been his main focus and his life’s mission. Horne went on to study music and English in college\, receiving his B.A. from Oswego State in 2018. The musician currently performs solo and with his band\, The Leaps\, throughout the country. \nThe songwriter’s unorthodox voice catches the audience’s ear and leaves them craving for more\, while his songwriting provokes feelings wrapped in nostalgia. Catch the singer performing original tunes and favorite cover songs from the country\, folk\, rock\, blues\, and Americana genres.

SUMMARY:Dwayne Haggins
DESCRIPTION:He’s been described as “the love child of Hank Williams and Otis Redding.” “The John Legend of rockabilly.” And even\, “the ‘what-took-you-so-long?’ fusion of Elvis Presley and Marvin Gaye.” At every performance\, whether in a venerable metropolitan concert hall or a grimy dive in an anonymous strip mall\, Dwayne Haggins is always at work. Adding new subtleties to an obvious melody line. Reinterpreting a time-worn lyrical cliché to imbue it anew with genuine feeling. Unleashing a gentle cascade of vocal acrobatics when least expected (and hence most effective) — never for show alone\, but always to express a likewise unanticipated nuance of feeling: a whisper of love\, a curse of anger\, a groan of pain\, a whoop of joy that feels\, paradoxically\, both surprising and inevitable at the same moment. \nDwayne Haggins grew up in many places\, but when he talks of “home” these days\, he means Framingham\, Massachusetts. \nSince early 2017\, Dwayne has been on a quest to make a living playing music\, leaving his mark on dozens of bars\, restaurants and clubs scattered across eastern and central Massachusetts. His distinctive sound\, which delivers a brand new take on the traditional country-blues and soul that he loves\, has generated a rare sense of excitement and possibility throughout the area’s musical community. \nLikewise\, the exponential growth of his devoted audience likely signals that a move to larger venues is inevitable\, and perhaps imminent. Which is no doubt one reason why Dwayne’s recent shows in local venues have taken on a new intensity\, a sense of immense potential chafing at the limits of its current constraints. These days\, each performance feels like a special occasion\, a chance perhaps to experience the end of the beginning\, the last page of prologue to a brand new story that already has the makings of a modern classic. \nThough always a lover of music and an appreciative listener\, Dwayne himself didn’t pick up a guitar until age 18. One evening he happened to turn on the Conan O’Brien show just in time to see Sturgill Simpson\, a beacon of integrity in modern country music\, perform his song “Living The Dream.” Thanks to that well-timed moment of inspiration\, the guitar soon became Dwayne’s constant companion. By age 20 he was writing his own songs\, and was well on the way to finding his own voice to sing them. \nNotably\, Haggins has shared the stage with acts such as Keb Mo\, Joe Bonamassa\, Ronnie Earl\, George Thorogood\, Eric Gales\, Samantha Fish\, and Suzanne Santo.

SUMMARY:The Darrell Nulisch Band
DESCRIPTION:Growing up in Dallas\, Darrell was surrounded by blues and soul music at an early age. “My Dad and Mom used to take me to these honky tonks sometimes when there would be live bands on Sunday afternoons\,” he recalls. Jimmy McCracklin and Freddie King were early favorites\, along with a kid in the neighborhood named Jimmie Vaughan. “One of his first bands\, the Chessmen\, used to practice down in the park about three blocks from my house\,” says Nulisch. “I would ride my bicycle down and watch those guys play.” \nFrom the beginning\, Darrell exhibited a natural flair for phrasing a lyric\, a quality that underscores his relaxed\, soulful performances today. He began singing full-time in 1978 as one of the founding members of Anson Funderburgh and the Rockets. Their 1981 recording\, Talk to You by Hand\, was the first album in the catalog of New Orleans-based Black Top Records. After spending seven years as front man for the Rockets (also appearing on 1985’s She Knocks Me Out!)\, Nulisch put in a year with Dallas-based Mike Morgan and the Crawl before joining forces in 1987 with Boston-based Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters. He cut two albums as their front man (Soul Searchin’ and Peace Of Mind) before leaving in 1990 to form his own band\, Texas Heat (Business as Usual). \nNulisch continued to mix blues and soul on aptly named Bluesoul\, a 1996 release\, and The Whole Truth\, his debut for Severn Records in 1998. \n“I never tried to beat anybody over the head with my stuff\,” says Nulisch of his relaxed\, emotionally rich style. “I’ve tried at times to push a little bit harder\, but it doesn’t work for me. I don’t feel comfortable doing it and I don’t think it’s a true representation of my style or what I am. You have to be who you are and just hope that people catch on to what it is. And the people who get it really dig it.” \nNulisch has been categorized as a “blue-eyed soul” singer\, but the overused term isn’t too accurate. “People say that all the time. I’m not particularly fond of that\,” he says. “I never thought about whether these cats were black or white\, or any of that. It never was a concern. I just liked the music. I can’t help what I like\, and the stuff I like happens to be black music.” \nToddy Nulisch spends a lot his time on the road as guest vocalist with Grammy-winning Chicago blues harmonica legend James Cotton. He’s recorded vocals for ex-Howlin’ Wolf guitarist Hubert Sumlin\, Boston pianist David Maxwell\, and Detroit guitarist Kenny Parker. But his roots lie squarely in Lone Star soil.
