MICHELLE MALONE w/ HAMBONE WILSON BAND

Michelle Malone will be going FIRST and Hambone Wilson Band will finish out the night.

Compared to most musical artists in the Americana genre, Michelle Malone seems like a pair of distressed blue jeans amidst a sea of pantsuits. Unlike the surplus of self-professed rootsy rebels, one listen to this woman from Dixie and you know youre hearing the real thing. A singer, songwriter, and guitarist whose music is informed by blues, country, and roadhouse rock & roll, Michelle Malone's performances can go from contemplative and coffeehouse quiet to rowdy and "Twin Reverb on 10" loud at the turn of a dime, and her passionate, uncompromising style has won her a loyal following, especially in the American South. She's a wild-haired Rock Goddess, political singer/songwriter, passionate performer with roots in church music no single characterization tells the whole story. Over the course of Malones career, shes collaborated with artists from Gregg Allman to Bon Iver to Indigo Girls, released more than a dozen records and went indie when it still took guts. Equal parts badass guitar slinger and sweet songstress, Michelle Malone artfully balances her penchant for ripping it through the roof with masterful lyrical introspection and vocals that range from sublime to raucous.
