All tickets purch ased will be honored.\n\nMark Erelli has forged a colorful career by mak ing the art of “being everywhere all the time” seem effortless.\n\nI t’s hard to think of another artist who seems equally at home serving as a sideman for GRAMMY-winning artists like Paula Cole\, Marc Cohn\, an d Josh Ritter\, or producing albums for Lori McKenna\, as he does writin g and producing his own material\, like 2019’s “By Degrees\,” on w hich he was joined by a host of voices including Rosanne Cash and Sheryl Crow\, and nominated for Song of the Year at the Americana Honors and A wards. His 2020 album Blindsided found Mark “nodding to another icon\, heartland hero Tom Petty\,” emphasizing “12-string guitar jangle an d straightforward vocal hooks.” (Rolling Stone). An album in “the sw eet spot” (Associated Press)\, Blindsided combines the exuberance of E relli’s signature sound with the wisdom that comes with over 20 years of songwriting\, capturing an artist at a point in his career where he i s clearly digging deep and swinging for the fences.\n\n“Writing is the most vulnerable state that I’m ever in\,” says Mary Bragg. “But t here can be a real beauty in that vulnerability when you know you’ve w ritten the strongest thing that you can\, when you’ve paired a killer melody with a meaningful lyric that says exactly what you’ve always wa nted to say.”\n\nWith her stunning new album\, ‘Violets as Camouflag e\,’ Bragg examines that vulnerability in all its delicate splendor\, holding it up like a diamond to the light as she carefully studies each sparkling facet. Self-produced and self-engineered at Bragg’s home stu dio in Nashville\, TN\, the fourteen-song collection is both beautiful a nd blunt\, the work of an artist only just beginning to embrace the full range of her talents. She writes with a keen eye for detail and an extr aordinary sense of empathy\, populating the album with a cast of charact ers grappling with pain and loneliness and longing and desire\, question ing when to dig in and when to give up as they struggle to cope with har dship and loss. The arrangements here are rich and rootsy\, pulling from country\, folk\, and blues to weave a timelessly organic blend around B ragg’s breathy\, evocative voice as she sings about the kind of raw em otion that might have seemed impossible to address even just a few years ago.\n\n“I grew up in the South\, where it’s not super common to co me right out and say what you feel or to talk openly about your intimate emotional experiences\,” says the Georgia native. “The further alon g I get on my quest as an artist\, though\, the more natural it starts t o feel. Writing this album was part of my skin shedding.”\n\nOLS Covid -19 Protocols:\n\nWe are very excited to begin hosting live music shows again in our listening room.
