The Hernies with special guests Great Dying & the Williamson Brothers Presented by Aubrey Entertainment ALL AGES The Hernies Great Dying, The Williamson Brothers Band Join us on Sunday July 11th for a triple bill w/ The Hernies and special guests Great Dying and Williamson Brothers at Southern Brewing Co! The Hernies - The Hernies started as the brainchild and solo-recording project of Henry Barbe (guitar & vox) in Athens, GA in 2013. The project has since developed into a 4-piece band with the additions of Winston Barbe (guitar), Evan Amburn (bass & vox), and Glenn Reece (drums) . The expansion has brought the solo project from the basement to the stage. A blend of art-rock and power-pop, the Hernies have a great mix of short, fast, poppy energetic bursts and longer, more drawn-out, slow, meandering songs, both of which are equally satisfying. The debut album "If You Can't Think, Then You Cannot Be Afraid of the Consequences of Your Actions" will be released on Orange Twin Records in 2017. Members are Henry Barbe, Winston Barbe, Glenn Reece, and Evan Amburn. Great Dying - Will Griffith, known musically as The Great Dying, is a Mississippi Delta born, country singer-songwriter residing in Oxford, MS. Although Will doesn’t see his dark country musings as directly blues influenced. "I want people to celebrate sad music because of its beauty. Sad songs help you laugh at your own sadness. They are meant to help you keep going,” says Griffith. Punk rock, however, felt like Will’s blues and was devoid of the phoniness and commercialism that drove tourism in the area surrounding his hometown of Cleveland, MS.Will’s first release as The Great Dying, Bloody Noses & Roses (2018) was released courtesy of Dial Back Sound, a production company and label located in Water Valley, MS. Netherlands music source Written In Music called it an “Intense and impressive debut.” The album was recorded and produced by Bronson Tew and Matt Patton (Drive By Truckers, Dexateens). Touring for the record so far has included a smattering of smaller solo appearances in California, and several two to three week runs in the Southeast as a duo of Griffith and guitarist Craig Pratt. Griffith and Pratt plan to tour most of November 2019 playing first dates throughout New York, New England and Ontario.More recently, The Great Dying recorded a new song "Writing a Song in Blue Ink" in tribute to musician, singer and poet David Berman (of Silver Jews and Purple Mountains ) who passed in August of 2019. This new track has just been released as a single on digital and streaming formats via Dial Back Sound. Williamson Brothers - Adam & Blake Williamson have been playing music together since they were kids. They play bass and drums and tour heavily as part of Lee Bains III & The Glory Fires. They played in local Birmingham bands Vesper and Black Willis. The Hernies Great Dying, The Williamson Brothers Band
