When you’re at a Dusty Roads show\, expect to hear influences of the legends of country and bluegrass music\, such as Merle Haggard\, Flatt & Scruggs\, Willie Nelson\, Buck Owens\, and Bill Monroe. You can also expect sprinklings of songs and sounds of the great writers and musicians from across the globe and halls of time\, like Django Reinhardt\, Duke Ellington\, and Irving Berlin. “Come take a trip\, down that long\, dusty road”.\n Comprised of some of the Southeasts finest pickers and singers\, the band is ever evolving and growing. “We’re all Georgia boys” says Mickelson of the band members\, which features Jared Lanham on mandolin and tabla – the traditional Indian hand-drum. “Colt Bowen has one of the lightest touches of any drummer in town” says Mickelson of the Dusty Roads drummer. Fiddlin’ phenom Danny Bermel joined the group in late 2016\, and adds an agile musical flare that pushes their musical crescendos to another level of fever-pitch. Dusty Roads is constantly searching for that sound\, that lick\, that twangy hook that sinks deep into the listener’s soul and pulls them into the unfolding story of each song. The group cherishes the purity of silvery strings ringing together harmoniously. The band champions comradery\, respect for the craft of their instruments\, and finely constructed songs that feel as if they soar down from the mountaintop to resonate the listener’s heart-strings.\n “We came here with one purpose\, to have a blast playing and performing live acoustic music”- says Mickelson\, singer/songwriter for Dusty Roads. Growing up in Atlanta\, he was surrounded by a diverse world of cultures\, food\, and music. “My great-grandfather was a mandolin player from Germany\, so I guess it just runs in the blood”\, says Mickelson of his musical lineage. Like a rear-view mirror in a pick-up truck\, Dusty Roads looks back through the history of written and recorded music\, studying fervently to find just what made each of these classic songs so special and unique. Just like ‘looking backwards to go forwards’\, Mickelson applies this approach to writing original material for the band.\n During the Winter of 2017\, Dusty Roads went into the studio to begin recording its debut self-titled album. The album will feature music inspired by life\, love\, and heartache. “Life is heavy\, but music can make your bags a little lighter” – Dusty Roads \nTICKETING/RESERVATION INFO: \nTickets are not available for FREE shows.

He attended college at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville in 2006\, where he received instruction from world-renowned drummer Danny Gottlieb. Under Danny’s tutelage\, Nico developed a refined sense of groove\, musicianship\, and technique. In 2008\, Nico had the great honor of performing at Carnegie Hall in New York City with the UNF Wind Ensemble\, and upon graduating in 2010\, lent his talents to many Jacksonville area bands performing live shows and recordings. He has recorded with Jacksonville artists Saltwater Grass\, Toots Lorraine and the Traffic\, and Brady Clampitt\, along with the UNF Jazz Ensemble 2 and UNF combo 1. As a member of Saltwater Grass\, he played across the southeast\, including multiple festivals at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak\, Florida. 2013 brought a location change to Atlanta\, Georgia where he immediately began working with members of Grammy award winning band Arrested Development\, and with the award winning corporate band the Emerald Empire Band.

Imagine her surprise when she actually meets and befriends a dragon! Their introduction coincides with the arrival of a much-touted dragon slayer\, Sir Reginal Thwebes. Upon discovering the potential threat of a dragon in the palace\, King Rhubarb charges Sir Reginald to fight the dragon. Will it be a fight to the death? Will it be a draw? Will they even fight at all? Find out in All Hands Productions version of “The Reluctant Dragon.” Loosely based on Kenneth Grahame’s book\, this production utilizes colorful moving-mouth hand puppets and rod puppets to tell a story about friendship and understanding. Puppets created by David Stephens and costumes by Sottie Rowell. This show was funded in part by a 2008 Jim Henson Foundation Family Grant. \nTICKETING/RESERVATION INFO: TICKETS ARE REQUIRED FOR EVERY MAN\, WOMAN\, AND CHILD.\nYour tickets serve as your brunch reservation.

In late 2011\, Josh Erwin and Michael Paynter found themselves with a handful of new songs that didn’t have a home in The Packway Handle Band\, the acclaimed bluegrass-based group from Athens\, GA\, that they co-founded. Using a cajon to loop live drum beats and alternately adding acoustic and electric guitar and mandolin\, the band creates a sound that steps away from their bluegrass roots and finds itself wading firmly into Americana waters. With only Erwin and Paynter at the helm\, the songs possess a sophisticated character with wide and transcendent appeal. The songs on the duo’s first release\, Shelter (December 2013\, through Twin Cousins Records) often tackle the inevitable predicaments inherent in modern life. The songs range from dark to playful\, entailing both sad and funny themes\, and are performed with a professional and skilled musical sensibility that only comes with the years that Erwin and Paynter have spent playing music together. Erwin’s “The Scientist” asks the difficult question\, “Are we someone’s experiment?” It combines satire with genuine curiosity that has puzzled mankind for millennia. In “One Pill A Day\,” a Paynter composition that progresses around a clutching mandolin riff that is doubled by the guitar\, one is led to believe that perseverance lies in the form of the pharmaceutical-induced peace of mind of a haunted person that can’t ever reach homeostasis without crashing back to the ground. Paynter’s “Winds Me Up\,” the more somber number that closes out the duo’s debut release\, showcases Erwin’s deftness on electric guitar and the duo’s tight-knit vocal harmonies. Those who give Shelter a listen will surely be pleased that these songs have found a home and a fruitful place to grow and evolve. \nRESERVATION INFO: \nTHIS IS A FREE EVENT.

Holding dear to the words spoken by American song-writer\, Harold Arlan: “All you need is 3 chords and the truth”\, Pickxen crafts songs that can melt your heart and then knock your socks off. The trio\, made up of Dixie(Laura Monk) providing vocals\, rhythm guitar and ukelele\, Pixie (John Monk) on bass\, and Micksy (Micheal Garvey) adding lead guitar and harmony vocals builds their music around Laura’s strong\, yet sweet and soothing voice. The instruments are present and easily heard\, but don’t step on the vocals.\nOfficially classified as Americana\, their music skips over genres and embraces many sounds. Providing something for everyone has enabled them to play festivals\, corporate events\, house concerts and wineries through out the Southeast. Having released their first cd\, Picks ’n Vittles in 2016 they are currently working on album #2 and they will be previewing some of those songs at the show at New Dawn.\n“Laura’s voice reminds me of a young Nanci Griffith at times\, but at other times Allison Krauss springs to mind and every now and then I think that I could be listening to a young sibling of Emmylou Harris….” review of Picks ’n Vittles cd by Rocking Magpie. \nTICKETING & RESERVATION INFO: \nTickets are not available for FREE shows.

The mellow jangle of rusty strings picked with a fierce intuition\, refreshing like a crisp cold brew on a hot day. Coyote Anyway makes music like that. Both fresh and familiar. With a tip of the hat to a hundred years of American music\, their sound is informed by classic wax from both sides of the tracks. A lazy country shuffle\, a touch Bo Diddley flavored mambo\, a few barnburner blues romps. Maybe when the lights go lower and the bar is filling\, they turn up a bit and this potent blend sounds a bit like Rock & Roll\, the way your grandpappy thought of it. \nThe story of Coyote Anyway is a long road with many forks. Comprised of Dave Kirslis \, Matt Garrison\, Zeke Sayer and Matthew Pendrick\, the group has roots that run deep. All born and raised in Georgia\, the members of this coyote collective have steeped in the rich music culture of the south\, and digested its potent tonic to heart. It’s the sound of old friends coming together to play what comes naturally and what feels good. Over the years they have shared a thousand stages with some of the best around. “A real appreciation for tradition doesn’t mean you must be tied to the past…really it’s freeing. To use those sounds and ideas as spring board to our own twist on it\, not unlike the way any one of our heroes did in their day.” \n“Every member of this group is doing really great things on their own and with other projects and such\,” says Pendrick. “I think that’s part of what makes it so fun. There’s a lot of mutual respect for each other as players and writers\, so when we have a chance to get together\, there’s a genuine excitement that comes from being in such good company.” Audiences around the South who have been privy to the band’s live set have said much the same. Toes get to tappin. Hearts get to bumping. Everybody have a real good time. \nTICKETING & RESERVATION INFO: \nTickets are not available for FREE shows.
