Wilder Adkins
“The morning air was nice and cool, a pleasant mist was drifting around. It doesn’t help that I live in the woods surrounded by the peace of nature. I put on my downloaded copy of Wilder Adkins’s Oak & Apple and proceeded to be called home. The way Adkins handles the message in these songs is the same way he handles the guitar. It is distinctively delicate, purposeful and beautiful.”
— Lee Waites (Birmingham Free Press)
Alice Gillee Project
“So here we are: a six piece rock, jazz, funk, blues band(as best I can figure).”
— Bec Simpson (Alice Gillee Project vocalist)
The Deep End
“The Deep End melds different styles and influences together into lively, hip-hop based, funky, rap-rock band. You’ll hear raw, edgy beats, buncy bass lines, and searing raps laced with guitars and turntablism.”
— WBHM’s Tapestry

TIME: 7:30 pm
BAND: Alan Rhody / Terry Barnett
COVER: $12
Alan Rhody
“He has earned a level of respect and recognition that places him in the vanguard of pioneers of the contemporary roots music movement.”
— Toronto Star
Terry Barnett
From Terry Barnett bio: Terry Barnett has performed at The Bluebird and Douglas Corner in Nashville, and at other songwriter venues, including the Frank Brown Songwriters’ Festival at the FloraBama in Gulf Shores. On a more recent note, at a reunion of his former band The Tempos at The Marble City Café in Sylacauga, there was a standing room only crowd!”
VENUE: The Nick
TIME: 10:00 pm
BAND: The Bad Crowd / Frank Smith
COVER: $5
The Bad Crowd
Frank Smith
“Frank Smith is not a man. Well, I’m sure he’s a man somewhere, but not in this band. No, this is the brainchild of Aaron Sinclair, who relocated…to Austin from the similar-sounding Boston back in 2007. And frankly (hehe), it makes sense. The countryish, rootsy, folk-rock offered up…fits right in here (as does the plaid in their press photos).”
