Kevin Gordon will be singing the blues at the August South by Southeast Music Feast at the historic Myrtle Beach Train Depot.

Over the course of twenty years of writing, recording and touring, Kevin Gordon has built an impressively consistent catalog of songs, a critically acclaimed stack of albums, and a reputation for dynamic live performances that make first-time listeners life-long fans.

His current CD, "o Come Look at the Burning", climbed to the top 10 of the Americana radio chart and continues to receive significant airplay on XM/Sirius satellite radio. Playboy magazine says, "(this album) may be the least classifiable of the (Nashville Underground) lot, but perhaps the best, with a strange assortment of swamp rock, blues and literate lyrics."

Gordon's songs have been recorded by Keith Richards, Levon Helm, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Dukes, Irma Thomas, Webb Wilder, Kate Campbell, and others. His recordings have been featured in major motion picture soundtracks and in national advertising campaigns.*

Feasting begins at 6 with continuous grazing and beverages. Music starts at 7ish.

The Last Waltz Ensemble performs an amazing playlist of songs by Bob Dylan and The Band - from all the different eras of their careers - from The Basement Tapes and Big Pink to The Last Waltz and beyond. Using vintage instruments and equipment along with "borrowed" arrangements, these multi-talented musicians will take us on a wonderful ride through some of the most memorable musical history.

You'll hear a lot of the hit songs as well as a bunch of "B" sides and deep cuts, too! The Ensemble is well-known for including special guest performances by friends from other national and regional bands.

We anticipate an excellent turnout at the historic Myrtle Beach Trail Depot for this performance so mark your calendars and consider emailing us for advance reservations.

In the two years since the release of his album Salvation In Lights, live performances by Mike Farris across the country, including Bonnaroo, SXSW, Austin City Limits Festival, and the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, have left music novices, fans and seasoned artists with the same awe-struck response. His live shows, in no small part, led to this music veteran taking home the Americana Music Award in 2008 "New/Emerging Artist of the Year."

This is a repeat appearance by Mike and yet another outstanding event in the popular South by Southeast Music Feast series dedicated to bringing you non-traditional music in a non-traditional venue, or in other words... "the best music you never heard." Live music at the historic Myrtle Beach Train Depot.
