Cory Branan & The Low Standards House Concert:

Roots Hoot House Concerts welcomes back Bloodshot recording artist Cory Branan on Saturday, May 18. For this show, Cory will be backed by Memphis-based band The Low Standards. A past Roots Hoot favorite, Cory's latest album is called Adios released n 2017. He has a new album due before the end of 2019, also on Bloodshot Records. Throughout his decade-and-a-half-long career, Cory Branan has been too punk for country, too country for punk, and probably a little too Cory Branan for anyone's damn good. He has proven himself as a top-notch songwriter (Chuck Ragan called him "the greatest songwriter of our generation"), fierce lyricist (in Lucero's "Tears Don't Matter Much" they sing that Cory has, "a way with words that'll bring you to your knees"), and a hyperdynamic performer with the ability to fingerpick finer than '60s Greenwich Village folkies and brutally strum like a proto punk shredder. Across five albums he's made collective struggles poetic and breakthroughs into sympathetic acts of populist heroism. Speaking from past experience, this show is not to be missed! Doors will open at 7:00 pm and music starts at 7:30 pm. It is BYOB and a "lite bite" potluck.
