LIVE MUSIC: Todd Day Wait
2026-04-01 19:30 - 21:30 UTC
Todd Day Wait is one of the last real American Workhorse, pedal to the metal, Troubadours by way of Missouri, to California, to New Orleans and now Nashville. The original material of Todd Day Wait, is highly influenced by early American folk, country and blues music from the 1920’s through the 1960’s, embodying the spirit and authenticity of traditional American music.
Todd Day Wait, whomst you may have heard of from his millions of spins on GemsOnVHS or WesternAF writes and performs his own style of timeless country music. Harking back to Jimmie Rodgers, Willie Nelson, Wynn Stewart and Kris Kristofferson he keeps the spirit of country music alive. In 2009 he put all his earthly belongings on the curb and hit the road, in his diesel shuttle bus fueled by vegetable oil, for a never ending tour. From busking the streets of New Orleans, to playing in the shadow of European castles, to lighting up the honky-tonk dance floors in Nashville, Todd keeps it 60/50.
Devin Metzger and the Cane Holler Saints rise from the backroads of Kentucky with a southern rock sound that’s equal parts sermon and barroom brawl—a howl in the dark, a hymn for the restless, and a story that shouldn’t be told before Sunday morning.

The Grand Lodge on 5th

Will Hoge will release Sweet Misery, the Grammy-nominated artist’s 15th studio album on Friday, August 22. On Sweet Misery, Hoge reminds listeners that he isn’t afraid to break new ground – all while giving a keen nod to his rock and roll roots with the kind of grace and purpose that only comes with experience – without the baggage of predictability. In Will’s own words – “Following the re-recording and re-releases of Carousel and Blackbird On A Lonely Wire I found myself really wanting to make a louder, hooky, rock-n-roll band record again. Good stories, big choruses, shit to make you play it loud and drive fast with the windows down. I was without a band so I enlisted a crew of folks who I love – folks that I believed could really help bring out the bigger ideas in the songs. I hope folks will find some headphones and give it a good, loud listen. Top to bottom, the way albums should be listened to.”
Will Hoge has a career whose milestones include Number One hits, Grammy nods, major-label record deals, and hard-won independence. Years before Americana music received its own category at the Grammy Awards, Hoge was on the frontlines, helping to pilot and popularize the genre’s blend of American roots music. In the current digital era dominated by influencers seeking shortcuts to stardom, Will Hoge proudly treads the scenic route, immersing himself in the journey rather than fixating on the destination.

Buffalo Nichols and Fate McAfee
2025-09-03 07:00 - 21:00 | Grand Hall
On his second album, The Fatalist, Carl “Buffalo” Nichols does things with the blues that might catch you off guard. There’s 808 programming, chopped up Charley Patton samples, washes of synth. There’s a consideration of the fullness of the sonic stage and the atmospherics of the music that can only come with a long engagement with electronic music. But this is no gimmicky hybrid or attempt to turn the blues into 21st century music by simply dressing it with skittering hi-hats. Nichols’ vision for the blues is of a form of music that’s intimately tied to everyday life in 2023, something that’s reflected not only in the choice of instrumentation, but in the complexities of the songwriting and the gray areas his lyrics explore. This is music that comes straight from the present, and as such, it’s a reminder that the same shit that drove the first blues singers to pick up a guitar is still present behind the throbs of deep bass hits today. The Fatalist sounds unlike any blues record you’re likely to hear in 2023.

Chloe Kimes
2025-07-31 07:00 - 21:30 | Grand Hall
Chloe Kimes is a Michigan born singer, songwriter and bandleader currently based in Nashville, TN. In 2022 Kimes independently released her self titled debut album — voted “Listener’s Choice Album of the Year” by WYCE Radio as well as landing her a spot on NPR Music’s Top Ten Nashville Artists on the Rise. In 2024 she released her latest single “Coors Light” following its immense viral popularity, and spent the year touring a fresh batch of originals on the shoulders of her well loved debut, “it’s the early marks of a great Americana storyteller-in-the-making, cut from a cloth reminiscent of contemporary roots heroes like Lucinda Williams.” (Johnathan Frahm, For Folk’s Sake) A songwriting troubadour with new music pointing towards a courageous sophomore release, she fronts a spirited alt-country outfit. Kimes and her band offer a striking live show with a timeless sound, her tireless voice leading the way, her sentiments forging their own new space in the country americana scene.

Rob Ickes & Trey Hensley with Samuel & Nathan Lynn
2025-05-30 19:00 - 21:30 | Grand Ballroom, 121 N 5th St, Paducah, KY, 42001, United States
“Two musical phenoms” -NPR
“An acoustic firestorm…Ickes & Hensley are changing the rules.” –Vintage Guitar
“Two bluegrass aces…Rob Ickes & Trey Hensley shred” –Rolling Stone
“Hot-shot guitar picking…steel-string bluegrass with all the intensity of rock ‘n’ roll” –Acoustic Guitar
“Dual lightning strikes in a bottle.” -Guitar Player
“Two of the finest musicians playing today” –No Depression
Take Rob Ickes, the most decorated musician in IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Association) Awards history with 15 IBMA Dobro Player of the Year honors, and 2023 IBMA Guitar Player of the Year Trey Hensley, a Tennessee-born guitar prodigy identified as “Nashville’s hottest young player” by Acoustic Guitar magazine, and you have Rob Ickes & Trey Hensley, a very special powerhouse GRAMMY®-nominated acoustic duo that has electrified the acoustic music scene.
Noted for their guitar prowess (Ickes & Hensley were invited to perform at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival 2023 in Los Angeles alongside some of the world’s greatest guitarists), white-hot picking (as Acoustic Guitar puts it: “hot-shot guitar picking…steel-string bluegrass with all the intensity of rock ‘n’ roll”), world class musicianship, soulful stone country vocals and top-shelf songwriting, Ickes & Hensley cleverly meld bluegrass, country, blues, rock, jam grass, and more to create a signature musical blend that defies restrictions of genre.
Ickes & Hensley were influenced by repertoires as diverse as The Allman Brothers Band, Earl Scruggs, Ray Charles, Merle Haggard, Buck Owens and Stevie Ray Vaughan. The duo has collaborated with Vince Gill, Taj Mahal, Tommy Emmanuel, Little Feat, Marty Stuart, Steve Wariner, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Leftover Salmon, Rodney Crowell, David Grisman, Jorma Kaukonen, and Hot Tuna, among many others.
Among many others, Rob & Trey have received praise from the likes of legends such as Marty Stuart (“In this ever-changing world of Country Music, it’s comforting to know that the real deal still exists”) and Merle Haggard (“I’m sure I don’t make a true ‘critic’ since I’m already such a fan, but this album from Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley is a wonderful piece of work. And my songwriting side is truly overwhelmed. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”)
Ickes, a native of the San Francisco Bay Area, former founding member of bluegrass “supergroup” Blue Highway and highly sought-after Dobro master, has graced the recordings and concerts of artists such as Merle Haggard, Alison Krauss, Alan Jackson, Reba McEntire, Earl Scruggs, Tony Rice and many more. Ickes was a key member of Willie Nelson’s all-star band for the GRAMMY®-nominated 2023 Willie Nelson album, Bluegrass.
Hensley, a native of Johnson City, Tennessee, made his Grand Ole Opry debut at the age of 11, performing with Marty Stuart and Earl Scruggs (thanks to an invite from Stuart), and has since appeared on stage with the likes of Johnny Cash, Peter Frampton, Charlie Daniels and Old Crow Medicine Show. Hensley was chosen to perform in December 2022 as part of special 2-night-only engagement with Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and many special guests celebrating the 50 Anniversary of Will The Circle Be Unbroken at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville.
Ickes & Hensley are frequent performers at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville and those performances can be heard worldwide on the WSM-AM broadcasts online. Their reach nationwide is vast via television: PBS’ award-winning David Holt’s State of Music; RFD-TV’s Emmy-nominated TV series, My Bluegrass Story (they each had their own episode), PBS’ WoodSongs and Circle All Access’ Opry Live and radio: NPR’s Mountain Stage and WoodSongs Old-Time Radio Hour (on 537 radio stations around the world).
The new critically acclaimed, song-centric Rob Ickes & Trey Hensley album, Living In A Song—produced by GRAMMY® Award-winning producer/engineer/songwriter Brent Maher (The Judds, Elvis Presley, Merle Haggard, Kenny Rogers, Tina Turner)—highlights the songcraft of Ickes & Hensley like never before. Featuring the title cut, “Deeper Than A Dirt Road,” and “Way Downtown,” Living In A Song was a Top 5 Bluegrass album, Top 10 Americana album and Top 40 Current Country album.
On October 27, 2023, an album entitled A Tribute To The Judds was released worldwide by BMG. Ickes & Hensley collaborated with Molly Tuttle on “John Deere Tractor” for the project, alongside an all-star cast including Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton, Lainey Wilson, and many more. On March 8, 2024, the Taj Mahal Sextet (of which Ickes & Hensley are members) released Swingin’ Live At The Church In Tulsa to acclaim from SPIN, Performing Songwriter, No Depression and more.
Samuel and Nathan Lynn are a musical son-father duo from west Kentucky, playing folk, bluegrass, country, and acoustic rock.
Samuel is a 16-year-old rising-flatpicker, and an IBMA Kids on Bluegrass alum. Nathan is a singer-songwriter and founding member of the bands Bawn in the Mash and the internationally-touring Wheelhouse Rousters.
The two have played on stage together at the World-Famous Station Inn, the Carson Center for the Performing Arts, and aboard many a riverboat. In 2025, they have plans to record their first duo album.
