SUMMARY:Zydeco Dance Party: Nathan & the Zydeco Cha Chas
DESCRIPTION:For more than three decades\, Nathan & the Zydeco Cha Chas have toured extensively\, performing everywhere from local Louisiana spots to international stages\, with an ensemble that has always been a family affair. Bandleader Nathan Williams started his professional music career at 21\, recording singles for his brother’s El Sid label. Sid also opened a venue in Lafayette\, El-Sid-O’s\, where Nathan became a staple performer on Friday nights. Williams’ big break came when Buckwheat Zydeco recommended him to Rounder Records\, which was searching for an accordionist after Buckwheat left the label for Island Records. Nathan auditioned and secured a recording contract\, and in 1985\, he founded Nathan & the Zydeco Cha Chas\, inspired by a Chenier instrumental. The band debuted at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in 1988. Their music blends zydeco\, jazz\, blues\, and R&B\, with most of the band’s original songs penned by Williams. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerformances at North Garden Assembly Room are made possible through support from the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum.This performance is sponsored in part by Discover Black Savannah and Savannah/Hilton Head International AirportPartial support provided by South State Bank

SUMMARY:An Evening with Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit
DESCRIPTION:A Jason Isbell record always lands like a decoder ring in the ears and hearts of his audience\, a soundtrack to his world and magically to theirs\, too. Weathervanes carries the same revelatory power. This is a storyteller at the peak of his craft\, observing his fellow wanderers\, looking inside and trying to understand\, reducing a universe to four minutes. He shrinks life small enough to name the fear and then strip it away\, helping his listeners make sense of how two plus two stops equaling four once you reach a certain age—and carry a certain amount of scars. \n\n\n\n“There is something about boundaries on this record\,” Isbell says. “As you mature\, you still attempt to keep the ability to love somebody fully and completely while you’re growing into an adult and learning how to love yourself.” \n\n\n\nWeathervanes is a collection of grown-up songs: Songs about adult love\, about change\, about the danger of nostalgia and the interrogation of myths\, about cruelty and regret and redemption. Life and death songs played for and by grown ass people. Some will make you cry alone in your car and others will make you sing along with thousands of strangers in a big summer pavilion\, united in the great miracle of being alive. The record features the rolling thunder of Isbell’s fearsome 400 Unit\, who’ve earned a place in the rock ‘n’ roll cosmos alongside the greatest backing ensembles\, as powerful and essential to the storytelling as The E Street Band or the Wailers. \n\n\n\nThey make a big noise\, as Isbell puts it\, and he feels so comfortable letting them be a main prism through which much of the world hears his art. He can be private but with them behind him he transforms\, and there is a version of himself that can only exist in their presence. When he plays a solo show\, he is in charge of the entire complicated juggle. On stage with the 400 Unit\, he can be a guitar hero when he wants\, and a conductor when he wants\, and a smiling fan of the majesty of his bandmates when he wants to hang back and listen to the sound. \n\n\n\nThe roots of this record go back into the isolation of the pandemic and to Isbell’s recent time on the set as an actor on Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon. There were guitars in his trailer and in his rented house and a lot of time to sit and think. The melancholy yet soaring track “King of Oklahoma” was written there. Isbell also watched the great director work\, saw the relationship between a clear vision and its execution\, and perhaps most important\, saw how even someone as decorated as Scorsese sought out and used his co-workers’ opinions. \n\n\n\n“It definitely helped when I got into the studio\,” Isbell says. “I had this reinvigorated sense of collaboration. You can have an idea and you can execute it and not compromise — and still listen to the other people in the room.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease note: this event has been rescheduled from the originally scheduled date and time. All tickets purchased for the original date are valid for the new date.

SUMMARY:Eddie 9V
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PLANT RIVERSIDE DISTRICT \n\n\n\nEddie 9V has always been drawn to the raw\, soulful sound of Capricorn Studios in Macon\, Georgia. Inspired by its legendary history\, the Atlanta-born guitarist left school at 15 to cut his teeth on the Southern circuit\, earning acclaim for Left My Soul in Memphis (2019) and Little Black Flies (2021). \n\n\n\nIn December 2021\, Eddie finally stepped into Capricorn\, assembling top-tier musicians to record his third album. True to his old-school ethos\, he embraced the studio’s unfiltered sound\, crafting tracks that feel as live and gritty as the classics that came before. Rooted in blues\, soul\, and rock\, his music channels influences from Muddy Waters to Muscle Shoals while keeping his own electrifying stamp. \n\n\n\nWith praise from Classic Rock and Rock & Blues Muse\, Eddie 9V is proving that vintage soul and blues are alive and kicking—recorded the way they were meant to be\, with passion\, grit\, and no polish.

SUMMARY:The Po' Ramblin' Boys
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PLANT RIVERSIDE DISTRICT \n\n\n\nAt a time when most people feel constantly distracted by technology and barraged by the news\, authenticity and straightforward honesty are paramount. There’s something about the music of The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys that cuts right through the noise of the world and speaks plainly to the soul.  \n\n\n\nFormed in the Smoky Mountains\, The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys are at once exactly what you would expect and not at all what you would expect from a tattooed East Tennessee Bluegrass outfit.  \n\n\n\nNo strangers to hard work\, the boys are as much at home riding in their 1965 GM Tour bus as they are crawling underneath to fix it when it needs maintenance. But they take pride in being ambassadors of their genre\, and the group has brought their music from rural bluegrass festival stages to the rock clubs of Europe\, with stunning results.

SUMMARY:Daniel Donato's Cosmic Country
DESCRIPTION:There are a lot of musical influences and sources that Daniel Donato has drawn on during his career and that inform Reflector\, the Nashville guitarist-singer-songwriter-bandleader’s first all-original album. But within those Donato has carved out a unique and individualized spot for himself\, one that speaks to the deep American music heritage that inspires him — and that he’s pushing towards the future with inspired\, intentional vigor. He calls it Cosmic Country\, a moniker that’s both self-descriptive and a statement of purpose. It’s an organic rock band aesthetic with plenty of roadhouse twang\, a showcase for Donato’s instrumental virtuosity and facility for songcraft. Bridging Nashville and the Great West\, Kentucky and mid-60s northern California\, tie-dye and plaid\, it’s a world of his own\, and a wide world of musical adventure at that. This is their SMF debut. This event is standing room only. \n\n\n\n\nThis performance is sponsored in part by Becky & Bill KeightleyPartial support provided by Jessica Carter & Family\, Savannah Magazine and Thomas & Hutton \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel Donato is in search of that one true thing\n\n\n\nFor music lovers seeking a spacious community\, Nashville guitarist and singer- songwriter Daniel Donato opens the gates wide to his interpretation of cosmic country.By Amy Paige Condon \n\n\n\nCosmic Country\, in the inimitable parlance of wunderkind guitarist Daniel Donato\, is more akin to a unified field theory of music\, where soul rather than quantum physics connects the past\, present and future. His oeuvre is not a throwback to the Cosmic Cowboy-era of 1970s Austin\, Texas\, where bluesy honky-tonk swagger met hard rock thrust and progressive country vibes for a generation-defining sound—although Donato professes mad respect for its standard-bearers Willie Nelson\, Michael Martin Murphey and Jerry Jeff Walker\, and drinks from the same well\, musically speaking. \n\n\n\nDonato\, instead\, is in search of transcendence with every note.  \n\n\n\nCase in point: He shares a memory of playing “Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodleloo” with the Grateful Dead’s Phil Lesh at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester\, New York\, in 2023. Two bars before the chorus\, Lesh hit the E chord\, and “then I see a smile come up on his face. He’s taking this breath and a big old smile. He’s 84 years old and…I saw 50 years of joy that song would bring him. He was singing it to the people\, and the people were singing it back to him… \n\n\n\n“I remember leaving and thinking\, the only thing you have as a musician when you leave this planet are your songs and the recordings of the shows you played.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n‘My prayer is that we get one good moment a night on stage’  \n\n\n\nWhether he is writing his own tunes or picking a guitar\, Donato is trying to find that one true thing. Now nearly 31\, he has been playing professionally since the age of 14\, yet Donato still gets goosebumps as he rhapsodizes over lyrics written 50-plus years ago by Bob Dylan and even longer ago by Hank Williams:  \n\n\n\n“The silence of a falling star/Lights up a purple sky/And as I wonder where you are/I’m so lonesome\, I could cry.”  \n\n\n\nHe shakes his head. “If I could get one stanza like that\, I’ll leave this earth happier than I am.”  \n\n\n\nHe\, like Dylan\, has no idea where the songs come from\, but Donato believes it all — the music\, the lyrics and performances — is in service of something greater.  \n\n\n\n“On a physics level\, music is a unifying mechanism. That’s literally what it does — like gears within a watch that unify in sync to move the timepiece along. It also unifies light and darkness. You have major chords that are happy and sad chords that are minor or dark. They both exist within music\, fundamentally\, with an equal charge\, even if people weren’t there to hear it.”   \n\n\n\nBut the audience only amplifies the equation\, creating a reciprocity between player and listener that creates ultimate unity. “That’s why I think music is reflective of life itself. It literally is a coordination of time within space. It’s way more cosmic than I think anybody understands. Certainly\, it’s more than I do.”  \n\n\n\nTo those in Savannah for the music festival\, he offers an invitation to anyone who is looking for community through music. “We’re very much focused on being a high-frequency group of people. Everyone has open arms\, everyone loves each other\, everyone holds space for each other.” \n\n\n\nThat’s a message worth hearing. \n\n\n\nTickets $47 Mezzanine / $37 Floor (General Admission\, Standing Room Only)

SUMMARY:Old Crow Medicine Show
DESCRIPTION:With Founding Member Willie Watson \n\n\n\n\n\nO.C.M.S. Big Iron World Tour: Back to the Roots \n\n\n\nOld Crow Medicine Show will return to rooms where it all began this spring with the O.C.M.S. Big Iron World Tour: Back to the Roots—a series of intimate shows celebrating the band’s earliest recordings and some of the places where those songs first took shape. On this tour\, the band will perform their first two label releases—O.C.M.S. and Big Iron World—in their entirety. The setlists will trace the foundation of Old Crow’s catalog\, played in smaller venues where the band first stopped in the early days\, many of which they haven’t returned to in years. The performances will be presented in a more stripped-down configuration\, emphasizing the songs themselves—built to carry their weight without spectacle\, production tricks\, or distance from the audience. It’s a return to closeness: songs played up close\, in rooms where every word and harmony matters. Together\, the Back to the Roots tour and the vinyl releases reflect a band that has helped define the modern American roots movement—and continues to lead it. By returning to these songs\, these rooms\, and this way of playing\, Old Crow Medicine Show underscores what they’ve always done best: push tradition forward\, expand the reach of string band and folk music\, and remind audiences that songs built with care and conviction can last\, travel\, and keep finding new life. \n\n\n\n\nThis performance is sponsored by HunterMaclean\, Lesley Francis PR\, The Kennickell Group\, Robin & Sandy Stuart and Visit SavannahThis performance is sponsored in part by Queensborough National Bank and Trust
