Blue Cactus have developed a distinctly electrified twang that branches out effortlessly into folk, alt-country and psychedelic-tinged rock. Having released two records to critical acclaim, they have grown a cult following in the South and beyond, their introspective lyricism and blistering guitar techniques making the band potent in the studio and on stage. In addition to releasing their third studio album, 2025 will see Blue Cactus making their PBS debut on Shaped by Sound, a new series spotlighting North Carolina’s rich music heritage. Most recently, they were contributors to "Cardinals at the Window", an expansive compilation featuring REM, Gillian Welch, The War On Drugs, The Avett Brothers, Phish and more. In just the first week, the project raised over $310,000 for flood relief efforts in western North Carolina and celebrated a chart topping Billboard debut.

We look forward to having them back at The Woodshop.

His trio blends the poetry of Wells into a stew of flavors and soulful semantics with performances consisting of original material that offer an abundance of styles and emotion.

Russell Cooke & the Sweet Teeth mine a vein of Americana that veers from electrified country blues and opens up to bombastic cosmic rock. Featuring the sparkling guitar work of Scotty Knight and ace drummer Jeremy Clark, the Teeth play original music mixed with the occasional unique transformation of a traditional song.

Hill Roberts grew up playing music in the Atlanta blues scene. His fiercely funked and folked blues band, Catfish & The Bottom, continues to make an impression on the Southeastern road map, picking up new fans at every turn. Drawing from his influences (Robert Johnson, Ry Cooder, Jerry Garcia, Gregg Allman, Dr. John and JJ Cale to name a few...) you can find Hill Roberts performing music from his "Live" Compilation FRESH MILK (2015), or his album "Catfish, Let the Music Take..." (2017) throughout the Southeast.

“Blending the cool blues-rock of acts like The Black Keys and North Mississippi Allstars with a Memphis soul sound. . .” Glide Magazine

Tony Holiday has been at the center of a Memphis soul blues revival anchored by a contingent of young, savvy, well-schooled musicians who have a "family-like" attitude and a strong belief in one another. Over the past couple of years, Holiday and his talented young band have been touring hard, taking spells in between to write and record with Producer Eric Corne in Memphis and Los Angeles. The result is Keep Your Head Up, an album that covers a tremendous amount of territory over eight pithy tracks. It features a nice array of special guests including Eddie 9V, Kevin Burt, Albert Castiglia and Laura Chavez, last year's Blues Music Award winner for 'Guitarist of the Year’.

Throughout the record Holiday demonstrates an impressive command of styles, moving fluidly through Texas, Chicago and hill country Blues with plenty of Memphis soul and even a touch of Afrobeat. He also shows why he's one of the finest harmonica players on the scene today, despite electing not to play the instrument on over half the songs on the album.

"There's something in the water in Memphis, and Tony Holiday has tapped into it to contribute to an exciting new chapter unfolding in this storied region." - Blues Town Music.

To celebrate International Blues Day Jhett Black will be bringing special guests to the stage to capture the improvisational nature and soul of the blues.
