But he’s also talking about the idea that it took a few years, a very isolating 2020 and some needed shifts in musical direction to get to a place where new music — let alone the group’s crowning achievement — could even exist. “I don’t think we would be a band without this album,” says Southall, calling from his home in a small town outside Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. “I think for a while we were just focused on touring, getting out there and we didn’t take care of the music as needed. In a way, we needed that year off the road. We made an album and just worked. We refocused and decided this is what we want to be doing.” Now three albums in, Southall originally started the band as more of an acoustic project. That initial release (2015’s Six Strong Sorrow) proved to be popular. Suddenly, Southall and his crew were drawing big crowds, which intensified by the time the group released Borrowed Time in 2017 (that record features the single “Why,” which currently has just under 18 million streams on Spotify). ** NO REFUNDS ** 18 & OVER SHOW ** DOORS ARE AT 6 PM ** MUSIC STARTS AT 7 PM
