First Friday feat. Custard Pie live at The Hummingbird

$5

Custard Pie is a Valdosta-based trio that plays psychedelic rock with elements of improv and experimentation. Influenced largely by the more eclectic artists of the past, such as Frank Zappa & Col. Bruce Hampton, or more recent progressive artists like Umphrey's McGee or Phish, Custard Pie formed and started writing in the fall of 2014. The band's first official gig was on June 24th, 2015, as the opener for Tallahassee's Yamadeo, and they have been a mainstay on the Florida music scene, playing festivals, clubs, and theaters, while providing all night jams at almost every festival they appear at, usually playing until the sun comes up. Custard Pie has been fortunate enough to have played on stage with Roosevelt Collier, Danny Hutchens (Bloodkin), Todd Smalley (Derek Trucks Band & Mofro) and Marcus Parsley (Mofro), as well as Uncle Dave Griffin, while playing The Backwoods Fam Jam, Swamptown Getdown, The Great Outdoors Jam, Hulaween and headlining The 5th Annual Creekfest Revival before finishing out 2017 at the Hometeam New Year's Rally at Maddox Ranch. Custard Pie begins work on their debut full length album “Transcendence” in the Summer of 2018. Often likened to bands such as Umphrey's McGee, Frank Zappa, and Pink Floyd, Custard Pie delivers infectious grooves, lush guitar tones, and catchy tunes that turn into sonic journeys as their trademark. Musicfestnews.com review of their set at The Great Outdoors Jam 2017: "We had seen them in the first festival appearance at Backwoods Fam Jam and enjoyed both of their sets, but this set was light years beyond what they were doing just five months back. Then, they were raw rock and blues. Now they were jazzy, spacey, with still plenty of rock to go around."

Back City Woods & Pierce Edens live at The Hummingbird

$5

Back City Woods The South. A region loaded with history to say the least. What can be said about it that hasn’t already been said? Who needs another country act with a new angle on this sordid tale? Besides, if you’ve eaten your Grandma’s peach cobbler, haven't you already had the best? A band out of Middle Georgia called Back City Woods has thought about these perplexing issues and answers with yet another question. Do you still hear the call of the westerly winds whispering through the pines at dusk while rocking in a chair on the porch sweet tea in hand, alone, with the thoughts of a life that could have been? If your answer is yes, there’s hope left for the Southern life after all. If no, spin that dusty record again for old times sake. For the future is in the past, and we’re all dead anyway. You already know everything this band has to say, but they say it anyway, and they’re saying it with soul: louder & longer. They’ve released two award winning EP's and now have a full length album: The Light. The Dark. The Dusk. So what does this album bring to the table? Fiddles, guitars, banjo, songs about heartbreak, small towns, and all that Southern stuff. Also, it’s new, and it’s alive. Like you, like me, like the South. We’re here together sharing a semblance of similar existence, and everyday is new. So why experience the tales of the South from those who are decades in the past? There comes a time when Grandma can't make peach cobbler anymore, do we all stop eating cobbler? As life moves forward, as you move forward, so does music. Back City Woods: The South, today. Pierce Edens As those who have seen him live can attest, Pierce Edens absorbed the songwriting, storytelling and musical styling of the surrounding Appalachian Mountains, where he spent his childhood. This history takes the form of old time, folk and bluegrass music as well as spoken words of storytellers from his North Carolina home; this has earned him the moniker of “Appalachicana.” Over the last ten years, Edens has been drawing on those roots and blending them with the grungy rock and roll sounds that took him in his teenage years. The result is a haunting and fiery mixture that is notoriously hard to pin down. Allmusic.com classifies Edens as both “Folk-Rock” and “psychedelic-grunge,” and No Depression writer Bill Kopp says “[He] could just as easily- and accurately- be tagged with the singer/songwriter label; He’s a gritty troubadour who takes what he needs from each style, blending and bending it to suit the needs of his songs.” Through relentless touring, independently producing 4 albums (with one on the way), one full length concert film, and sharing the stage with musical heroes such as: Jim Lauderdale, Todd Snider, Will Kimbrough, and Sturgill Simpson, Edens has garnered a dedicated following of fans across the nation. And as Fred Mills of Blurt magazine says… “Edens is the R.F.D. (Real effin’ Deal), and when he and his band have their collective back against the wall, there’s trouble in store.”
