The three night Magnolia Roads American Roots Hoedown VII is fast approaching. Three nights of greet roots focused music located at three different venues around town, and featuring some of my favorite artists and bands.
The festival is heavy with Nashville artists - many of whom we regularly cover, but closing out Night 2 of the Hoedown in one of the non-Nashville bands - deFrance.
deFrance formed from the muddy banks of the Ouachita River in the vest pocket town of Camden, Arkansas. Called the “hardest working band in Arkansas,” the band has racked up more than 600 shows since forming in 2015. deFrance now calls Little Rock, Arkansas, home but these road warriors carry their modern take on classic rock & roll across the world, having performed shows at legendary international venues as well as earning the respect of fans locally, with two of their songs being selected for use in Arkansas state tourism commercials. The band’s technical prowess and deliverance of a truly pure rock & roll sound has been recognized with support opportunities for Foghat, Bon Jovi, Deep Purple, ZZ Top, Whiskey Myers, Robert Randolph, Shooter Jennings, Morris Day & The Time, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and Living Colour, among others.
deFrance is scheduled to take The 5 Spot stage Saturday night at 11:15.
Here are the links to all three nights' Facebook events. Get on this right now!
Today, we have a great random shuffle - that covers a lot of musical ground. Check it out below the jump.
