Alternative country group Jared Stout Band creates tunes for the soul rooted in the heart of Appalachia. The band’s discography journeys through the countryside of sound and promises to provide an evening of comforting bluesy folk. Stout’s thoughtful and original songwriting has solidified the group as one to watch, earning a runner-up accolade for the “On-the-Rise” award at FloydFest ’22. Opening performer Low Water Bridge Band has recently released its sophomore album Back to the Valley, which shares the story of small town life in the Shenandoah Valley.

ARTS Pick: Twins with Twang

It’s not a typo—The Brother Brothers are named that for a reason. Adam and David Moss are identical twins with a shared love of country and folk music, and it shows in the tunes the duo creates and performs. After pursuing individual music careers, the brothers came together in 2016 to tour as one act. Although their appearance might provoke a double-take, their music is anything but repetitive, with songs alternately soaring to country’s most joyous peaks and diving into the moodiest corners of Appalachia.

Friday June 22. $12-15, 8pm. The Front Porch, 221 E. Water St. 806-7062.

ARTS Pick: Kasey Chambers

Kasey Chambers has long been revered as one of Australia’s iconic roots-country performers, and her 2017 album Dragonfly shows why. Despite the fact that she’s been recording music since 1998, Chambers’ voice remains fresh and original, from sweet blues to sparkling jazz to twanging banjo. She shows off a sweeping range of musicality and emotion on her 11th full-length release.

Saturday, July 15. $27-30, 8pm. The Southern Café and Music Hall, 103 S. First St. 977-5590.
