Thurdsay July 9th Sam Elmore & The Ghosts w/ This Dog'll Hunt and Alexander Gallows Sam Elmore is a pioneering voice in the realm of New Americana whose songwriting ethos is at once timeless and acutely tuned-in to the socio-political mores of the present. A genre-bending troubadour, Elmore's work draws from the rich storytelling traditions of folk music, blended with explosive pop hooks and an expansive wall of sound. \*\*\* Alexander Gallows is a singer-songwriter based in Washington, DC. Playing the licks of Hendrix, mimicking the riffs of Led Zeppelin, strumming the progressions of Bob Dylan, and harmonizing to the melodies of Simon & Garfunkel were just some of the ways Gallows built his knowledge as a player and songwriter. Whether performing solo, with his acoustic duo Gallows & Curl, or amped up with the Gallows Group, Alexander brings a modern flair to a retro sound, highlighting his lyricism and storytelling against intricate guitar playing.
