PRESENTING
St. Paul & The Broken Bones and The Wood Brothers
About St. Paul & The Broken Bones:
Founded in Birmingham, Alabama in 2011, St. Paul & The Broken Bones consists of Paul Janeway (vocals), Jesse Phillips (bass), Browan Lollar (guitar), Kevin Leon (drums), Al Gamble (keyboards), Allen Branstetter (trumpet), Chad Fisher (trombone) and Amari Ansari (saxophone). The eight-piece ensemble burst into the world with their 2014 debut Half the City, establishing a sound that quickly became a calling card and landing the band a slew of major festivals including Lollapalooza, Coachella and Glastonbury. Critical praise from The New York Times, Rolling Stone, SPIN and NPR followed, leading to shared stages with some of the world’s biggest artists —Elton John and The Rolling Stones among them—and launching an impressive run of headlining tours behind what Esquire touted as a “potent live show that knocks audiences on their ass.”
The group has continued to expand their sound with every record, branching out well beyond old-school soul into sleek summertime funk and classic disco on albums like 2018’s Young Sick Camellia. Their latest LP, Angels In Science Fiction, stretches their limbs further afield, building on the shadowy psychedelia and intricate, experimental R&B of 2022’s The Alien Coast. The new record finds Janeway at his very best. With Angels In Science Fiction, St. Paul & The Broken Bones have crafted their most moving, comprehensive work—spanning their entire sonic and emotional scope.

About The Woods Brothers:
Grammy Award-nominated roots trio The Wood Brothers continue to tour in support of Heart Is The Hero, their latest album release that was recorded analog to 16-track tape, an approach that reflects lyrical themes throughout the album of slowing down and experiencing each moment in the present. The collection was praised by MOJO Magazine for its "immersive take on Americana—part country, soul, Southern rock and gospel,” while declared "an album that puts compassion in charge” by No Depression.
Fans can also expect The Wood Brothers to share a handful of new songs, as the band is currently putting the finishing touches on their ninth studio recording. By the time the tour with St. Paul & the Broken Bones begins, plans for the album's summer release will have been revealed.
For the better part of two decades, The Wood Brothers have cemented their reputation as freethinking songwriters, road warriors, and community builders, creating a catalog of diverse music and a loyal audience who’ve grown alongside them through the years. They've offered a prolific flow of creative output, including eight studio albums and five official live releases, alongside a zealous commitment to bringing their electrifying live performances to fans across North America and Europe. They've been dubbed "masters of soulful folk" by Paste Magazine and praised for "a wide experimental streak and exemplary musicianship" by Rolling Stone. Brothers Chris and Oliver Wood initially pursued separate musical careers before coming together as The Wood Brothers. Chris was revered for his incomparable work as one-third of Medeski Martin & Wood, while Oliver’s band King Johnson built a loyal following in the South. With the addition of Jano Rix as a permanent third member, The Wood Brothers line-up was solidified.
