We previously caught Shakey Graves (Alejandro Rose-Garcia) at this year's Festival Palomino. He recently took home the Emerging Artist Of The Year award at Americana Music Association's 14th Annual Honors & Awards. Shakey Graves gained over 20 million Spotify streams, thanks to his strong single "Dearly Departed" from his 2014 album And The War Came (Dualtone Music Group).
Opening up the show will be our favorite Those Darlins, the cow-punk/garage rock trio from Nashville. We have seen the band almost every time they come through town: Oct 2013, July 2013, July 2012, Apr 2011, Sep 2010, Apr 2010, Nov 2009, and July 2009.
Check out our interview with Jesse:

Small Black is back with their new album Best Blue (Jagjaguwar). This is the group's third LP, which is said to hit their sweet spot of smoky intersection of considered & vulnerable songwriting and loose, almost nonchalant ambience.
We previously saw the band (singer/keys Josh Hayden Kolenik, guitarist Ryan Heyner, bassist Juan Pieczanski and drummer Jeff Curtin) last year at the Turf Club and noted they were "80s-style keyboard riff and ultra dance-y beat."
Painted Palms will open the show. The last time we saw the duo (Reese Donohue and Christopher Prudhomme), it was in 2013 when they only had one EP and a single (so they played everything they've ever wrote). Of course, now they have two albums: their debut Forever and Horizons, both available on Polyvinyl.

The first time we saw X Ambassadors, they were the support act for Canadian singer Lights. At the time, we noted that they had family connection in the Twin Cities: "The band, who has producer connections to, and has opened for Imagine Dragons, has learned the art of audience participation well and had a built-in cheering section, as several members of guitarist Noah Feldshuh’s family were enthusiastically present on the main floor."
Their single "Jungle" (featured both Jay Z and Jamie N Commons) winning the Bronze Award at the 2015 CLIO Awards (for providing the soundtrack to the latest round of Jeep ads), and recently, their latest single "Renegades" is a hit in the charts (#19 at Pop Radio, #3 at Hot AC, #18 at Top 40, #3 at Alternative and #27 on the Hot 100).
Five-time GRAMMY-nominated singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Skylar Grey is listed to open. Her critically acclaimed album Don't Look Down (KIDinaKORNER/Interscope Records) was produced by Eminem and Alex Da Kid.
Joining on this sold-out show will be Kevin Garrett, a musician that is on both MTV and Grammys' "artist-to-watch" list. Garrett's latest single "Refuse" previewed on Zane Lowe’s Beats One Apple Music Radio Show... taken from his Mellow Drama EP.
