An Evening w/ Chris Stalcup & Matt Woods (outdoor show)

About Chris Stalcup:

“In a just world, Stalcup’s name should be included amongst the new breed of artists including Isbell, Simpson and Stapleton who are marrying tradition and truth.”  Eric Risch - Pop Matters

“With a grizzled voice steeped in realism, Atlanta’s Chris Stalcup is one of the best songwriters America has yet to hear. Pulling no punches, Stalcup’s Saturday night songs tug at blue collar heartstrings with honest emotion.” Magearwig - Bucket Full of Nails

“Downhearted Fools” is a ragged rocker that burns with electricity and hard charging vocals that echoes the Drive by Truckers at their most “Saturday night.” Stalcup offers a set of well worn pipes that speak years beyond his album count, giving the artist a sense of integrity and poignancy.” Glide Magazine

About Matt Woods:

"His brand of genre-saving country possesses an authenticity that's earned him the loyalty of fans plus the comparisons to a range of gifted wordsmiths that run the range from Jason Isbell to Charles Bukowski."
-Tampa Bay Times (Tampa, FL)

"Touring and writing songs isn’t a way to make a living as much as it is Matt Woods’ lifeblood.  It's as if he was born with a guitar in his hand and wrote a song about it before his Mother left the hospital...That being said, [With Love From Brushy Mountain] is a perfect second full length album that I believe will catapult Matt Woods to a whole new capacity of new fans--something that is well-deserved for an incredibly talented singer/songwriter and performer."
-Sad Songs Keep The Devil Away/No Depression (international)

There are so many artists, so many songs and albums out there today, for any individual artist to stand out, they darn near have to stand on their head and turn somersaults to get our attention. It’s sad but true, but that’s what Matt Woods does with 'Deadman’s Blues.'"
