SUMMARY:Gangstagrass
DESCRIPTION:A true example of the belief that we are better together\, Gangstagrass combines great American traditions of bluegrass\, hip-hop\, and beyond to create a whole new musical genre that is more than the sum of its parts.\nGangstagrass is a multi-racial collective of musicians who demolish every preconception you have about country music and hip-hop music. These string pickers and MCs create a shared cultural space for dialogue and connection between folks that usually never intersect. The boundaries are gone and Gangstagrass is out there doing things nobody thought would work but when you hear it you know\, down in your soul\, that it does work. Gangstagrass is here to help us party together with an irresistible blend of America’s rural and urban music traditions.\nIntegrating banjo and fiddle with hip-hop beats and rapping may be something Gangstagrass does for the love of the music\, but it has led them to face a history of racialized genres and deeply ingrained sense of cultural incompatibility. Creating music that turns what some would consider opposite musical styles into a rollicking party that suddenly makes sense\, they found a byproduct of their disregard for traditional sense of genre was that they got people who normally would consider themselves to have nothing in common dancing to the same beat.\nForget everything you thought you knew about our cultural divisions: when Gangstagrass starts playing\, those preconceptions are relegated to the dustbin of history. Banjo and fiddle seamlessly meet verbal acrobatics from skilled MCs. High lonesome harmonies flow over block-rockin’ beats.\n“There are a lot more people out there with Jay-Z and Johnny Cash on their playlists than you think\,” says Gangstagrass Mastermind Rench\, who had previously made a name for himself as an in-demand Brooklyn country and hip-hop producer and singer/songwriter. He should know – he’s toured the country and abroad with a band of bluegrass pickers and hip-hop MCs to the delight of standing-room crowds everywhere. Initially known for the Emmy-nominated theme song to the hit FX Network show “Justified”\, the band has become a formidable force in live performance\, touring extensively in the USA\, Canada\, and Europe.\nWhen the band’s fifth studio album No Time For Enemies was released in 2020\, Americana Highways proclaimed Gangstagrass “America’s Band” because they take so much of what’s amazing about this country — the ingenuity\, creativity\, the strength and struggles of such different people to forge a path into the unknown — and distill it into a message of common ground and unity across differences. The album quickly rose to #1 on the Billboard bluegrass chart\, the first time in history that hip-hop MCs achieved that top spot.\nMore recently\, between appearances on America’s Got Talent and PBS’s The Caverns Sessions that made everyone’s highlights list\, and a glowing full-page article in the New York Times print edition headlined “This Is the Music America Needs\,” the band is geared up to get us all dancing on common ground for their national and international tours and their forthcoming full-length album release in the summer of 2024.\nAll performances at Miller Outdoor Theatre are FREE!

SUMMARY:HFMS presents Sarah Pierce
DESCRIPTION:May 11th \, 2024 TIME 6:30p\nHouston Folklore and Music Society\nSECOND SATURDAY CONCERTS Presents\nSarah Pierce\nThe daughter of a cowboy\, raised in a family of cattlemen\, was born in Rockford\, Illinois and raised in rural West Texas. In the 6th grade she was kicked out of the children’s choir because she sang too low…her incredible alto voice already making itself be known. She would later get on her mare and sing to the cattle in the fields\, as Pierce says “They didn’t seem to mind”.\nSarah’s dream of becoming a legitimate singer began to take shape at age 12\, singing in her stepfathers band.\nAlways studying voice\, after receiving her degree in medical science she began her musical journey. One that she is still traveling today.\nSarah has toured hundreds of thousands of miles both domestic and foreign – receiving rave reviews at fairs\, festivals\, conventions\, and concert dates from New York City to Los Angeles and Northern British Columbia to San Antonio\, France\, Italy\, Germany\, and Scandinavia. Her willingness to self-promote her music has included a driving tour of 250 NPR/AC/Country radio stations across the country\, doing interviews and live on-air performances. In addition\, she has been seen in performance on MTV and was heard as the singing voice of Calamity Jane on the Emmy-nominated Time-Life television mini-series\, The Wild West. With the release of her eighth album\, Bring It On\, and the first single\, Butterfly Tattoo\, going to #5 in the nation on Independent Country Charts\, Sarah once again was able to show that she is an absolutely viable artist both commercially and more importantly creatively. Sarah then released her 9th CD\, Barbed Wire. Sarah’s new CD\, Blessed By The West\, will be released 4/22/2024! ~ https://sarahpierce.com\nSinger-Songwriter Brian Kalinec will open!\nBrian Kalinec is an award-winning\, Houston\, Texas-based Americana/folk singer-songwriter. His East Texas roots have combined with his urban experience to form his own particular view of the world\, which is reflected in his songs.\nA recipient of the “My Texan” Award at the 2012 Texas Music Awards for his support of the music and musicians of the state\, Brian is a past president of the Houston Songwriters Association and has produced a number of projects for other artists in addition to his own albums. He is also a past president and former board member of the Southwest Regional Folk Alliance. Brian has also served on the boards of Songwriter Serenade and Houston Live. ~https://www.briankalinec.com
