Although Texas born Gilmore was twice named Country Artist of the Year by Rolling Stone, and California native Alvin first came to fame in the hard rocking rhythm and blues band The Blasters, they discovered that their musical roots in old blues and folk music are exactly the same. “a modern-day Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson” - Texas Monthly "Americana legends" – Santa Cruz Sentinel Since that discovery, Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore have recorded two critically acclaimed albums, TexiCali and Downey to Lubbock , and continued to tour, rocking the stage together with their band The Guilty Ones. " Alvin and Gilmore stay true to their rustic roots and weave a traditional tapestry that allows them to leave an individual imprint as well." - Lee Zimmerman/Alternate Root “… one of the most enduring musical partnerships on the planet.” – Folkalley.com As they hit the road in 2026, this time they will bring you the Almost Acoustic Duo. Friends for over 30 years, their lively shows feature songs from the duo’s albums, as well as classic original compositions from their individual albums, while swapping songs, telling stories, and sharing their life experiences on stage. A show you won’t want to miss! LENNY KAYE In a career spanning more than half a century, Kaye has remained defiantly uncategorizable. The longest-serving member of the Patti Smith Group, he has also curated the game-changing garage rock anthology Nuggets – “one of the most influential compilations ever” (The Guardian) – co-wrote Waylon Jennings’ autobiography, penned music to Allen Ginsberg’s poetry alongside Paul McCartney and Philip Glass - and produced projects for Suzanne Vega, Soul Asylum, Jessi Colter and more.
