8:00pmDaily BreadRepping Atlanta proudly, Daily Bread—Rhett Whatley’s sonic perception—is always coming with fresh ideas to give soul-stirring sounds a trenchant edge. The Philos Records resident’s penchant for experimenting with instruments and an intense affinity for crate-digging helps Daily Bread rise to new heights, bringing together nostalgically soulful melodies, gritty hip-hop hooks, and bass-driven flare into one cohesive sound. Boasting an accomplished goal of bringing old sounds to new ears, Daily Bread’s trajectory has been divinely unpredictable. With merch selling out in mere minutes, vinyl being resold for hundreds of dollars, and a legion of supporters consistently waiting for Daily Bread’s next move, Whatley’s flame isn’t going out just yet. In fact, the heat only continues to rise.Dance · Indie

8:00pmKameron Marlowe“When I was thinking about this project, I really wanted to say something beyond break-up songs and love songs,” says Kameron Marlowe. “I wanted to throw life songs in there as well. These are all real things that I've gone through, and there's a lot of loss, there's a lot of pain, there's a lot of love. It really tells the story of these past two years.” One of Nashville’s most exciting up-and-coming voices, Marlowe has indeed been through some changes recently, from adapting to a new life on the road to breaking through with the Platinum-certified single “Giving You Up” and touring alongside some of country music’s biggest stars. That journey is reflected in the sixteen songs of his sophomore album, Keepin’ the Lights On, from the introspection of “On My Way Out” to the romantic turmoil of “Strangers.” “I grew a lot mentally,” says Marlowe of the album’s emotional range. “I had a lot of hard stuff on my plate and I had to learn to be a little stronger and not take things so personally all the time. I learned how to fall back in love—getting engaged and fixin’ to get married—after going through a situation I wrote about on the last record. I've lived a lot of life in the past few years that really opened my mind to some new ideas.” The scope and maturity of the album establish Marlowe as a true force in today’s country music—a triple-threat singer, songwriter, and performer blazing his own path, marked by his distinctively soulful and resonant vocals. And it hasn’t taken him long to find a following, having already racked up almost 900 million career global streams. Born in Kannapolis, North Carolina, Marlowe grew up singing in church and formed a band in high school. After leaving college to help support his family, he began uploading performances online and started gaining traction. He subsequently moved to Nashville and released "Giving You Up" independently; when the song—written by himself after his girlfriend broke up with him, right before he was planning on proposing—went viral, Marlowe landed management and songwriting deals and eventually signed with Sony Music Nashville. He released several more singles and, in 2022, put out his acclaimed debut album We Were Cowboys, which included the Gold-certified tracks “Burn ‘Em All” and “Girl On Fire.” Named to CMT’s 2023 Listen Up class and Opry’s NextStage program, Marlowe was also highlighted as “One to Watch” by Amazon Music, Pandora and Spotify. His powerful vocals made an immediate impression, but Marlowe wasn’t satisfied with his songwriting. “I felt like some of my songs in the past were surface level as I was still growing in my comfort and confidence around songwriting and sharing my story,” he says. “But on this, it was time to dig deeper. I can write a break-up song 573 different ways, but if it's saying the same thing, to me it's the same song.” He points to the song “Never Really Know” as a turning point in the direction of the new album. “That song fired me up so much, because it was so personal and so special, and something that I hadn't written before,” he says. “That really started shaping this album to be what it was. It’s almost a folky kind of production, which really made the lyric shine and made you want to keep listening to the story—that was a challenging thing to do, but probably the most rewarding once we finally got it right.” Keepin’ the Lights On was produced by Dann Huff, who has worked with the likes of Taylor Swift, Keith Urban and Bon Jovi, among countless others. “Dann is a mastermind,” says Marlowe. “Sometimes we only worked on one song a day—we wanted to make sure that they all got the attention that they deserved, and we really took our time with the sounds and the overdubs and the things that bring the songs to life.” Huff was so taken with Marlowe’s commanding voice that he had the singer cut most of his parts live.Contemporary country

8:00pmAlan WalkerYou may identify him by his trademark mask and hoodie, yet behind the mysterious character is the Norwegian artist, DJ and producer Alan Walker. With more than 50 billion audio and video streams worldwide, and over 115 million followers across social media, it is safe to say that the 24-year old has already put a lasting imprint on the music scene since he first made his mark few years ago. Born in Northampton, England to a Norwegian mother and British father, Walker moved with his family to Bergen, Norway, at the age of two. Being a true post-millennial child, he grew up surrounded by technology and became fascinated by programming, gaming and graphic design. Inspired by EDM pioneers as well as his natural love for film scores, Walker quickly converged his inspiration and musical influences when he first started to experiment with music production. He shared his creations with the world, making use of the tools of the digital age, with early tracks gaining traction and millions of plays on YouTube and SoundCloud. Through innovative and forward-thinking formats such as online label NoCopyrightSounds, his music was exposed to fans across the globe. One of these tracks was later re-released as his commercial debut “Faded” at the end of 2015. The single quickly spread like wildfire and has since earned multi-platinum certifications around the world, and billions of plays across streaming services. A string of popular singles has followed, including All Falls Down, Darkside and Alone Pt. II featuring global artists like Noah Cyrus and Ava Max. Through his successful run of releases, Walker has also collaborated with and remixed music from artists like A$AP Rocky, Miley Cyrus, Sia, Bruno Mars, Avicii, Steve Aoki, Coldplay, Kygo, Charli XCX, Julia Michaels and many more. Today, Alan Walker is one of the most in-demand and sought-after artists on the scene, and a constant figure amongst the 100 most popular artists on Spotify. After claiming the top spot in his native Norway over 7 times, he finally released his massively successful debut album Different World in late 2018. Walker has so far played more than 600 headliner and festival shows, including Coachella, Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival, Lollapalooza, as well his own worldwide sold out arena tour The Aviation Tour. Since his 2015 debut, the young star has received multiple awards and nominations, including 4x Norwegian Grammys wins, 3x MTV EMAs wins, a BRIT Awards nomination for Song of the Year, Billboard 21 under 21, and a Billboard Awards nomination - all while being one of the most followed artists in the world. Beyond the impressive accolades and staggering streaming numbers, is also his own extensive online community of fans – the Walkers. With millions of followers across his social channels, Alan Walker holds a unique position, communicating with the Walkers directly through his fingertips. Through his music, the Walker community finds a sense of belonging and unity amongst each other, and Walkers all share the ideology of Walker’s message, that we can all come together regardless of our background. With the entire world as his playground, and the majority of his career still ahead of him, it’s impossible to predict what the future holds for the young artist - who has quickly become the voice of his generation.EDM · House

8:00pmDashboard ConfessionalDashboard Confessional's ninth studio album, All The Truth That I Can Tell, is both a remarkable renewal and fortunate step forward for the band's songwriter, front man, and founder, Chris Carrabba. Having ascended great heights over the past 20 years, Carrabba found himself at a distinct crossroads as the last decade came to an end. Running on fumes, unsure if he'd ever release another album, he waited. The songs eventually came, and though the project might've easily come to a screeching halt following a near-fatal motorcycle accident in the summer of 2020, All The Truth That I Can Tell stands among Carrabba's finest – a strikingly potent musical look at himself through a rediscovered keyhole, both an achievement of vision and a vital burst of artistic clarity; less like reading someone's diary and more like reading their eyes. For the album's production, Carrabba tapped James Paul Wisner who produced the band's first two studio albums, The Swiss Army Romance and The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most. "Honesty was at the heart of the writing process, at the heart of the recording process and at the heart of this collection of songs," Carrabba says. "I had the rare opportunity to be unflinchingly honest. But I think I would have thought in the early days that that would be commonplace. Now, I realize it's some kind of cycle within your life and there's great personal reward in accepting that." Dashboard Confessional's most recent album, 2018's Crooked Shadows, earned acclaim upon its release, with CLASH hailing it as "still as charming, still as cathartic and ultimately every bit the record you want it to be." All The Truth That I Can Tell first began taking shape soon thereafter with a single song written one winter evening in a Manchester, UK greenroom. The creative moment felt so transformative for Carrabba that he played the new song, "Burning Heart," for a live audience just an hour later. "That night, I wrote a song that I was so certain of," he says. "Not just that it was good, but that it was powerful in some way, too." Though "Burning Heart" sparked the fuse, the full explosion of creativity that led to All The Truth That I Can Tell wouldn't come until the fall of 2019. All of a sudden, Carrabba knew what to say and how to say it, clearly and sincerely, and proceeded to do so in just 10 short days. "The songs came quickly," Carrabba says. "I felt them. I knew I had to hole up in my house and just allow the thing to happen, and, if I got lucky, it was going to be good." Indeed, Carrabba's new songs are rich with purpose and intention, merit and necessity. They tell important stories that touch on a point of progression in the veteran artist's life while collecting his perspectives on the most vital of his experiences. From "Burning Heart" – which fittingly opens the album – and the tone-setting second track, "Everyone Else Is Just Noise," to raucous songs of progress and affirmation like "Here's To Moving On" and "The Better Of Me," to more subdued moments such as the tender "Sleep In" and "Me And Mine," Carrabba tracks his own personal evolution, viewed through a full heart. Noteworthy for its veracity, even among the famously intimate Dashboard Confessional canon, the album concludes with the brutally candid title track, "All The Truth That I Can Tell," offering a somber look at one's choices, consequences, and the perilousness of existence itself. "I really mined my own soul…my own psyche on this one," Carrabba says. "To be frank, I was being selfish. I was absolutely not thinking about any other person that might hear this. I was only thinking about me. But I can't tell you I'm super comfortable with that idea in any other aspect of my life, except when it comes to writing songs." The idea of radical truth propelled Carrabba, who gazed steel-eyed inward for inspiration.Alternative rock · Emo
