Cavanaugh is the new rap group consisting of Open Mike Eagle and Serengeti. The band just released their debut album Time and Materials last November 2015 via Mello Music Group. The album features P.O.S... so expect the local Rhymesayer to randomly show up to rap (that is ... if he isn’t touring at the moment)...

Although from Feb 18 to 20, they’re touring with Lizzo, she’s actually not playing 7th Street (Lizzo just recently sold out the First Ave show on Feb 6).

In Open Mike Eagle news, he recently teamed up with UK producer Paul White for Hella Personal Film Festival, a collection of songs that play like short films.

Cavanaugh tour dates:

02/18 Chicago - Subterranean*
02/19 Madison - Majestic Theater*
02/20 - Milwaukee - Turner Hall Ballroom*
02/21- Minneapolis - 7th Street Entry

The last item I heard from S&R is that they had a “surprise album” called Busted Jukebox, Vol. 1, a cover-lover album featuring some dear friends/fellow artists to put a new spin on a collection of 10 diverse covers.

As for headliner Jason Isbell, his latest Something More Than Free came out July 2015 via Southeastern Records.
