HUEY
Friday, September 11th @ 8:00PM
Born and raised in Atlanta, Ga., Huey’s songwriting is rooted in southern folk music. Since playing in various groups for the past 8 years, most notably her own full band "Huey & The Heaven-sent", she’s always called the ATL music scene home. "[She] brings some diversity to what people perceive southern music to be" says Atwood Magazine, following up the release of their second full-length LP "How to Keep Things Alive". Heart-clenching and poignant lyrics, married with folk, sometimes even jazz, melodies, Huey's songwriting reflects the emotions that she’s embedded in her music. Since becoming a solo artist, she’s developed a side of the folk genre that sounds like nobody else.
Currently, Huey has been working on a highly anticipated solo EP, which leans more towards Psych-Folk and is set to release in early 2027. Today, she marks her greatest inspirations in writing to be acts like Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake, S.G. Goodman, and (if we’re talkin’ Southern folk-rock), the Indigo Girls.
JACOB KYNARD
Friday, October 9th @ 8:00PM
Jacob Kynard has spent a few years driving around playing songs in backyards, bars, churches, nursing homes, and vape stores. He's recording a debut album at Dial Back Sound in Water Valley, MS produced by Matt Patton (Drive-By Truckers) and features John Smith (Dexateens) on lead guitar.
SADIE McLAYNE
Friday, October 16th @ 8:00PM
There’s an old-soul gravity to Sadie McLayne that defies her years. Emerging from the Tuscaloosa music scene, she quickly found her footing on Nashville’s most storied, neon-lit stages, winning over crowds with nothing but an acoustic guitar and a raw, unflinching vocal delivery. Having cut her teeth on Nashville's Lower Broadway, the Florida Panhandle and on the road touring alongside outlaw Jamey Johnson, she gracefully walks the line between Americana grit, classic country, and southern soul. It’s music built on the timeless fundamentals of country songwriting, real instruments, open hearts, and zero pretense.
ASA J. HARRIS
Friday, October 23rd @ 8:00PM
Asa J. Harris grew up listening to the legends of country music on a radio station that covered the wiregrass region of southeast Alabama. Today, he creates and shares his own recipe of "moonshine music" -- underproduced and without labels. This music is high-proof and cuts through the sonic environment of modern America.
From along the banks of the Chattahoochee River, Asa J. Harris developed a unique sound-- a strange brew of country, folk, and bluegrass. He has played his music on stages and flatbeds, beside bonfires and barns. He has recorded an album in Austin, Texas and recorded cell phone demos in Viñales, Cuba. No matter what you've heard, you haven't heard Asa J. Harris.
MATT JONES
Friday, November 13th @ 8:00PM
Matt Jones is a seasoned singer-songwriter with a deep catalog of original music and a voice that carries both grit and soul. His musical journey began at the age of twelve when his older brother—an experienced guitarist—was injured in a car accident and could no longer play. Handing Matt his first guitar, he said, “Do something with it.”
From that moment, Matt found his identity as a musician, spending countless days writing, playing, and dreaming of performing his own songs. Inspired by iconic storytellers like David Wilcox, he developed a gift for crafting lyrics that paint vivid pictures and melodies that linger.
Over the years, Matt has recorded four albums, including his most recent release, Redemption. His music draws on his southern roots, weaving heartfelt storytelling with passionate, gritty vocals that stir emotion and connect deeply with audiences.
ELLIOTT McPHERSON
Thursday, December 10th @ 8:00PM
Elliott McPherson is a Tuscaloosa singer-songwriter and founding member of the legendary Southern rock band The Dexateens. With a gritty voice and a talent for honest storytelling, Elliott brings a unique blend of rock, Americana, and Southern soul to every performance. We’re excited to welcome him to Anthem for an unforgettable night of music.
CHRIS McGINNIS
Friday, December 11th @ 8:00PM
Chris McGinnis writes songs that exist somewhere between a hiccup and a heartache. His most recent EP, Songs For You, touches on the peculiarity of your hometown morphing beyond recognition. It tells the story of two Baby Boomers falling in and out of love across time zones and decades. It's about connection and disconnection alike. With the release of his debut full-length album Mamaw's Angel, Chris veers deeper into these familiar themes. Through tales of stolen Winnebagos and hip-shaking grandbabies, Chris' music is Appalachian absurdity for the 21st Century.
