CL RECOMMENDS
CRITIC’S PICK: The Cold Stares, Smith’s Olde Bar—This Indiana by way of Kentucky blues-rocking outfit started out as a duo, but a few years back added a bassist to expand and propel their already powerful Southern baked sound. Singer/guitarist/songwriter Chris Tapp captures the spirit of roots rockers Blackberry Smoke and the Black Crowes, but adds a rugged blues element. New album, The Southern, captures them at their raw, tough, tight, and explosive best and playing this intimate venue is the way to see ‘em. Strap in. — Hal Horowitz

Event Description

For almost ten years, The Cold Stares had toured the world relentlessly as a duo, blowing away audiences across the US and Europe with a fierce, blistering live show that belied their bare-bones, guitar-and-drums setup. In 2023 the band began embracing a whole new kind of chemistry and launched into their next chapter, adding a third member and channeling the classic power trio sound they grew up on with their explosive acclaimed album, “Voices.” 
Working off the international success of “Voices” which was voted one of the best albums of 2023 by Classic Rock Magazine, The Cold Stares went into Memphis Magnetic Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. They recorded the band’s next chapter and progression, the sprawling album “The Southern,” which is set for release in the spring of 2024. 
The Cold Stares have created a buzz in the music world that has landed them on the road with the likes of Joe Bonamassa, Larkin Poe, Rival Sons, Reignwolf, Spoon, Grand Funk Railroad, and Thievery Corp, among many others. American Songwriter praised the group’s “hard-won commitment, honesty, and intensity,” while No Depression hailed their sound as a “roots rocking firestorm,” and tunes from their albums turned up everywhere from ESPN, Dodge, Chevy, and TNT to the hit video game Cyberpunk 2077.
 
The Rare Birds is a rock band from Atlanta, GA. Originating in 2018, the band writes and performs original music heavily influenced by the colors and sounds of rock, soul, gospel and blues.
