Caleb Schwing & the Holy Smokes with Alex Dunn

Presented By KGNU Door time: 7:30 Show time: 8:00 Caleb Schwing In many circles, Caleb Schwing is known as the Miyamoto Musashi of bald, country adjacent singer songwriters in Colorado. With his band the Holy Smokes, comprised of lovers and converted enemies, they create an addicting sound sometimes described as “damn good” and causing many to call their exes to apologize. Alex Dunn ALEX DUNN is based out of the high desert of northern New Mexico. He has recorded alongside folk luminaries Anna Tivel and Eli West, and he has had the opportunity to share the stage with artists such as Marty O’Reilly, Rachel Baiman, East Nash Grass, Kassi Valazza, Rainbow Girls, Hen House Prowlers, Sammy Brue, Shawn Hess, Izaak Opatz, Robbie Fulks, and many more. His band includes some of the top musicians from the Four Corners region. Dunn uses his own personal blend of Folk/Americana to reflect on the many lives he’s led, from his youth along the border of Colorado and Wyoming to the quiet moments aboard commercial fishing vessels in the remote waters of Southeast Alaska, where he spent over a decade toiling on the sea and writing songs during his downtime. Melodic sawdust and salt air, his music breathes with a sense of place, yet is imminently accessible and speaks to the universal. His debut record Scattered Poems was recorded in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, WA, and released in the fall of 2018 – an elegant and timeless debut, graced by the talents of some of the Northwest’s finest roots musicians, including Anna Tivel and Eli West. Partnering with the label Color Red, he released his sophomore LP Southern Star on 12/3/21 – which he recorded with his band at Avast Recording Company and co-produced alongside multi-instrumentalist Bryant Moore (True Loves). It was mastered by legendary engineer Greg Calbi. ALL TICKET PRICES ARE INCLUSIVE OF SERVICE FEES
