Old 97's + Heartless Bastards

Rhett Miller's Texan four-piece remains one of the best bar bands in the land, serving up rowdy alt-coutry tunes that have outlasted former contemporaries like Whiskeytown and the Jayhawks. On the Old 97's 2014 release, Most Messed Up, Miller turns in some of the most self-aware songs of his career, contrasting the stability of married life with the sterotypical rock star antics of his past. Twangy Austin rockers the Heartless Bastards kick off the evening, joined by BJ Barham of American Aquarium.
