The details

About this event

Nick Shoulders is set to perform at Falcon Hall, bringing his distinctive take on American roots music. Known for his progressive approach, Shoulders combines traditional Southern sounds with punk influences, creating a fresh and engaging musical experience. His latest album, "Refugia Blues," explores themes from climate change to personal introspection, all while maintaining a balance of humor and depth.

This performance promises an intimate setting where Shoulders' voice shines, blending country croon with Appalachian yodels. It's a chance to experience a raw and authentic version of country music that challenges modern conventions. With his unique storytelling and engaging stage presence, Shoulders offers a concert that lingers in the mind long after the music ends.

From the organizer

Refugia Blues, the fifth album from songwriter Nick Shoulders, is a record of big ideas and small, intimate moments. Rooted in the acoustic stylings of Southern traditional music, it finds the Arkansas native turning off his amp and stepping up to a ribbon microphone as a solo performer, singing in a voice that's equal parts country croon, Appalachian yodel, and high-lonesome field holler. Shoulders' interpretation of American roots music has always been more progressive and punky than the trucks-and-beers conservatism that passes for modern-day country, and Refugia Blues offers songs about climate collapse, radical anthropology, and generative disruption. It balances the macro with the micro, too, making room for love songs and personal topics, packaging humor alongside heavy insights. At once academic and accessible, Refugia Blues isn't just a deep dive into southernness, but also into Shoulders himself. This is a raw, resolute version of American country music, stacked high with songs that go down easy but linger in the minds of those willing to invest the time.
