LAURA JEAN

Laura Jean steeps her songs in the lore of the American West, refracting its triumphs and tragedies through an intimate lens. Laura Kepner-Adney, the lead singer and guitarist in the Tucson-based Laura Jean Band (formerly Laura and the Killed Men), shades her voice with echoes of honkey tonk and Appalachia. Her expansive lyricism highlights her connection to Arizona’s unforgiving environment, and her songwriting weaves together the disparate elements of what has defined country music throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.

Bloomstone

Bloomstone

“Bloomstone started as a friendship between wedding musicians. For singer and guitarist Grant Bloom, what started as a love for songwriting developed into an eclectic and soulful sound playing in coffeehouses, bars, and restaurants in his native DFW Texas. He then moved to Boston and gigged heavily all over New England before arriving in Tucson where he met Chris. Bassist, Chris Pierce, has been deeply involved in the Tucson music scene for the past 2 decades. Chris has brought his undeniable style and deep grooves to artists like Steff & the Articles, Lando Chill, THE LASSO, Birds and Arrows and many more. Drummer, Rylande Dodge, is a Tucson native and lifelong musician. Born into a musical family, Rylande began drumming at an early age. He provides a musical funkiness when needed while simultaneously expressing his passion for jazz and experience gigging many different styles throughout his budding career. Together as Bloomstone, these three musicians strive to create soulful, rockin’ music and look forward to many more years of groovin’ for the masses.”

HANK TOPLESS

Based in Tucson, AZ, country blues singer / songwriter Hank Topless has shared stages with and / or provided support for: Junior Brown, Kinky Friedman, Joe Ely, Pete Anderson, Al Perry, Skip Heller, Robbie Fulks, Jim Goad, Tom Walbank, Scott Biram, Jesse Dayton, Split Livers, Al Foul, Gary Stockdale, Whitney Rose, Kevin Daly, Reverend Payton’s Big Damn Band, Calexico, Les Paul, and many more. Finalist in multiple iterations of yearly “Best Of Tucson,” in the country music category.

Growing up on a ranch in central Arizona, there was a lot of country music on the radio. After quite a few years playing obscenely obscure underground rock ‘n roll, Topless “went country” around 1990. He masterminded the obscure, “all-star” Tucson underground-country group Topless Opry (2000-2004)- their album “No Phoenix Blues” (2002) achieved minimal notoriety for its bold, honkytonk-style cover of Lou Reed’s “All Tomorrow’s Parties.” His solo albums “It’s So December” (2011) and “Big Black Heart” (2017) have received critical acclaim. Upcoming albums “Easy Listening For The Hard-Hearted” and “Hank Me Crank Me I’m Dead” (live solo) are slated for release in Fall 2019.
