Shake Russell and Michael Hearne
May 10
Hearne and Russell play music in a style that is hard to categorize, but one that their label Howlin' Dog Records calls "Southwestern Americana" - a sound of wide open vistas, big blue sky, high mountains, and deep canyons, with folk, country and rock sensitivities, and stories of real people finding their way through their lives.

Guy's newest combo, featuring Westen Borghes (White Ghost Shivers) and Will Webster delivers pre-war string band musical dexterity with a punk-rock kick! Their music incorporates traditional instruments like resonator guitars, banjos, and musical saws and blends influences from blues, jazz, fiddle tunes, and more — all while reflecting a DIY spirit reminiscent of punk rock and ringing like a nine-pound hammer!
