Saturday, March 6th, SxSE welcomes the Randall Bramblett Band back to the Myrtle Beach Train Depot.

FYI... the house WILL be full for this show so I suggest reserving your tickets in advance and arriving early for good seats. This will be an extraordinary evening of first-class blues, jazz and rock & roll. Excellent songwriting, vocals, and top-caliber musicians. (Can you tell that I'm a fan?)

 If you haven't seen Randall and the boys, you are in for an amazing treat. The RBB opened for Bonnie Raitt at the House of Blues this past fall and rocked the house. A SxSE favorite, the Randall Bramblett Band will delight you with a wonderful blend of blues, jazz and southern rock. Randall's latest album, Now It's Tomorrow, along with some previous CDs - Rich Some Day, Thin Places, Live at the 40-Watt, etc. will be available for purchase at the merchandise table during the show.

Opening for the RBB will be Stoll Vaughan. Stoll headlined a SxSE Music Feast a couple of years ago and we're excited to have a chance to see and hear him again. Stoll's dynamite new album, The Weatherman, will be available for purchase at the merchandise table during the show.

Saturday, April 17th, Sol Driven Train will bring some southern blues, rock and swamp funk to the Myrtle Beach Train Depot.

The band has shared billing with a diverse array of artists including Richie Havens, Keller Williams, Arlo Guthrie, and the Blueground Undergrass. Extremely active, they play an average of 150 shows a year and have managed to indepedently cut and distribute three albums, including one children's album.

With a strong horn section, driving rhythm section, and talented guitar and vocals, this Charleston based quintet has been successfully building a fan base everywhere they perform. The band features Wes Powers on drums, Rusty Cole on bass, Joel Timmons on guitar and vocals, Ward Buckheister on trombone and vocals, and Russell Clarke on sax and vocals.

It's gonna be a hot night at the Depot so be there early and be prepared to rock!

Kevin Gordon will be singing the blues at the August South by Southeast Music Feast at the historic Myrtle Beach Train Depot.

Over the course of twenty years of writing, recording and touring, Kevin Gordon has built an impressively consistent catalog of songs, a critically acclaimed stack of albums, and a reputation for dynamic live performances that make first-time listeners life-long fans.

His current CD, "o Come Look at the Burning", climbed to the top 10 of the Americana radio chart and continues to receive significant airplay on XM/Sirius satellite radio. Playboy magazine says, "(this album) may be the least classifiable of the (Nashville Underground) lot, but perhaps the best, with a strange assortment of swamp rock, blues and literate lyrics."

Gordon's songs have been recorded by Keith Richards, Levon Helm, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Dukes, Irma Thomas, Webb Wilder, Kate Campbell, and others. His recordings have been featured in major motion picture soundtracks and in national advertising campaigns.*
