Sunday, June 21Ryan Davis + The Roadhouse Band w/ Elizabeth Moen LIVE at Grog ShopDoors 7 PM | Show 8 PM$20 advance | $25 day of showALL AGES+$3 at door if under 21 Ryan Davis + the Roadhouse BandNew Threats from the Soul is a masterclass in reducing the sublime to the prosaic, immensity to infinitesimally, and vice versa (the trick can only work both ways). Everything in our universe is essentially flotsam or jetsam, rubbish heaps of fragments and shards. We, especially, are jerry-rigs of bubblegum and driftwood, inconsistencies and incoherencies, dead dreams and necrophagous hopes. The record functions in parallel with Kafkas winking dictum that there is an infinite amount of hope in the universe, just not for us. New Threats suggests that maybe, just maybe, something like redemption is possible, but only once were entirely emptied out and hawked in toto down at Walden Pawn.Next month, the Roadhouse Band will play a handful of dates in the Midwest and South, with a robust UK and EU tour to follow. Todays newly announced dates will bring the band to additional cities in the South and Midwest, as well as cities on the West Coast. A full list of dates is available below.New Threats from the Soul [is] a beautiful and wildly smart record about making do in an upside-down world.
