Speak Into My Good Eye features Silver Ships’ first single “Summer’s Gone:”

Columbia Free Times previews Christian Lee Hutson show

Columbia Free Times previews Christian Lee Hutson’s show in advance of his show at Red Door Tavern:

This might not surprise you, but there are a lot of great young songwriters in Nashville. Even among the Music City’s elite talent pool, Christian Lee Hutson rises to the top. The 22-year-old already boasts a finely honed singing and songwriting voice developed well beyond his years. Part of a generation influenced by the generation influenced by Townes Van Zandt, Hutson’s ragged, raspy country finds easy comparisons to Justin Townes Earle and Bobby Bare Jr. — though his richly detailed songs are on par with those of Hayden Desser.

Joy of Violent Movement features Silver Ships’ song “Summer’s Gone”

Joy of Violent Movement shares Silver Ships’ new song “Summer’s Gone,” praising its “uncanny resemblance to Revolver and Hard Day’s Night-era Beatles — in particular, Bessette’s single manages to have the same wistful, nostalgic tone. And as summer seems to be racing along so quickly, the tone of the song seems so right.”

Central Track previews Kentucky Knife Fight

Central Track previews Kentucky Knife Fight in advance of their Dallas show at The Double Wide:

Over the past few years, we’ve seen St. Louis hard-edged blues rockers Kentucky Knife Fight so many times (read: at least a couple dozen) that we sometimes forget they’re not locals. In fact, it’s not until they express a little too much enthusiasm for regional delicacies like Lone Star and Whataburger that we’re reminded that they really aren’t from around here. As anyone who’s seen Kentucky Knife Fight perform live can attest to, that’s a sentiment that comes pretty naturally: Not only do the boys roll through town fairly often during their relentless trips across the country, but their dueling guitar licks, frenetically hip bass lines and fist-pumping choruses just have a way of drawing the listener in.
