Beth Bombara and Friends, with special guest Samuel Gregg

Although based in Missouri, Bombara has spent much of her adulthood on the road, carving out her own award-winning mix of vintage folk and electric roots-rock. Shes been a solo artist, a bandleader, and an occasional side musician for other artists. With Evergreen, Bombara resumes her role as the leader of an amplified Americana band. These songs were largely written on the run in friends basements, during soundchecks, and on the road while Bombara and company toured the country in support of her 2017 release, Map and No Direction. As a result, theres a strong sense of movement here, from Samuel Greggs versatile guitar playing to the thump of the groups rhythm section (featuring Mike Schurk on drums and Kit Hamon Bombaras right-hand man and longtime collaborator on bass). Gluing the sound together are Bombaras unforced vocals, sharp hooks, and optimistic lyrics, which find her taking an honest look at lifes difficulties while continuing to move forward with positivity.
