CRITIC’S PICK: Breakfield
Recommended by Hal Horowitz as part of Creative Loafing’s May 2026 Critic’s Picks
Sat., May 9
Breakfield
Smith’s Olde Bar
Some might recognize the members of Nashville quartet Breakfield as those once in the band Boy Named Banjo. Same group, new name; one they think better reflects the slight change in direction to a less bluegrass, more roots rock approach. Their new self-titled album, out next month, is produced by Jason Isbell’s 400 Unit guitarist Sadler Vaden, a sign that these guys are on a track to corral a similar audience as the one Isbell attracts. It follows Dusk (2023), a well-received debut under the foursome’s new moniker. Early single “Canyon Walls” displays a country rock angle with sumptuous harmonies similar to those of Poco or early Eagles. Organic, melodic and with just enough pop to attract Americana attention. — Hal Horowitz
