CRITIC’S PICK: Drivin’ ‘N Cryin’, The Vandoliers, Variety Playhouse—Still going strong nearly forty years after their mid-80s inception, Kevn Kinney and company continue to pack theatres, at least locally, with their hard rocking country/folk/Americana/whatever. Sure, you’ll get the sing-along “Straight to Hell”/“Fly Me Courageous”/ “Honeysuckle Blue” hits, but after that, it’s anyone’s guess as to what deep tracks they’ll surprise us with. Regardless, it’s always a rollicking time and this band never phones it in. Openers, The Vandoliers, have clearly listened to their D N C albums, but add some Celtic flavors to the twangy rocking mix. — Hal Horowitz

From the venue:

In 1985 Drivin N Cryin played their first show at Atlanta’s famed 688 Club. Recent inductees to the Georgia Music Hall of Fame and the Wisconsin Music Hall of Fame, founding members Kevn Kinney, Tim Nielsen and longtime drummer Dave V Johnson find themselves enjoying a continued legacy, having survived the pressures of fame, a shifting musical landscape, multiple lineup changes, traveling miles of back roads and highways to arrive here.

Latest projects include a re-release of Mystery Road on Island Records (Universal), a Darius Rucker cover of the band’s beloved anthem “Straight To Hell”, a remastered 1997 eponymous album re-released as Too Late To Turn Back Now followed by the latest studio album Live The Love Beautiful and the ongoing 100+ song tribute series to the songwriting of Kevn Kinney.

Recent dates with Hootie & The Blowfish, The Black Crowes, Blackberry Smoke, Marshall Tucker Band and Jason Isbell amid touring the US and abroad on their own including repeat appearances on Rock Boat, Outlaw Country Cruise, Moon Crush and other specialty events.

Comfortable in their past and confident in their future, Drivin N Cryin are armed with an arsenal of songs, a full tank of gas and no intention of stopping any time soon.
