Wed Sept 13 at Loosey's Downtown - John Moreland - Kyle Keller
Wed Sep 13, 9:00 PM - Thu Sep 14, 2:00 AM

John released Big Bad Luv earlier this year and it sounds exactly what you might think it would sound like if John Moreland wrote a song about good news. We were lucky enough to have John at Loosey's a little while back and we are really excited to have him back this coming fall!

John Moreland
Big Bad Luv is the record John Moreland made after everything in his life changed. For the better.

He sings in one of those accents from flyover country that's impossible to locate and implausible to mimic. (Texas, by way of Northern Kentucky, but mostly Tulsa, as it happens.) He sings directly from his heart, with none of the restraint and filters and
caution the rest of us would apply for public protection. He sings with resolute courage.

He sings.
And writes. Writes with simple eloquence about love and faith and isolation; the human condition; what every song and poem and novel is about, at the core: Life.

“Break My Heart Sweetly” came from his second solo album, released in 2013 and titled In the Throes. High on Tulsa Heat, released through Thirty Tigers, landed him on Colbert's stage (that's the LP Colbert held up). Song placements on “Sons of Anarchy,” an emerging artist nomination from the Americana Music Association.

Enough sales to compel Moreland to give up his DIY label operation, and sign with 4AD. “It grew to the point where I couldn't really handle everything myself,” he says. “Even with a manager and a small team, I came to the conclusion that I'd like to play music and not worry about the other stuff.”

Ruston Kelly
Ruston Kelly is a hot Nashville songwriter, who as it turns out, may be an even hotter artist. In the past 2 years, he has amassed an impressive catalog of cuts including tracks for Kenny Chesney, Josh Abbott Band, and Tim McGraw’s track “Nashville Without You.”
