For nearly 50 years, the immense scope and influence of Ry Cooder's music has been felt as much, or more than heard. As master musician, producer, songwriter and sage, the Santa Monica, California native has explored music and culture from across the city, the state, the country and around the world.
The Prodigal Son, Ry Cooder's first new solo release in six years, is set for release by Fantasy Records on May 11th, 2018. Framed by his expressive vocals and elegant guitar work, this is music for these times. A deft commentary on our ailing moral state, The Prodigal Son is a fearless dive into the country's soul, and the man, Ry Cooder.

Cooder will bring The Prodigal Son Tour to the Michigan Theater this summer. This is his first full tour since 2009.

The Athens rock legend. Tickets on sale Friday, March 30, at 10.

Marcia Ball, the 2018 Texas State Musician Of The Year, has won worldwide fame and countless fans for her ability to ignite a full-scale roadhouse rhythm and blues party every time she takes the stage. Her rollicking Texas boogies, swampy New Orleans ballads and groove-laden Gulf Coast blues have made her a one-of-a-kind favorite with music lovers all over the world.

With SHINE BRIGHT (available April 20th), Ball set out to, in her words, ?Make the best Marcia Ball record I could make.? In doing so, she has put together the most musically substantial, hopeful and uplifting set of songs of her five-decade career. Produced by Steve Berlin (Los Lobos) and recorded in Texas and Louisiana, Shine Bright contains twelve songs (including nine originals), ranging from the title track?s rousing appeal for public and private acts of courage to the upbeat call to action of Pots And Pans, a song inspired by renowned Texas political writer and humorist Molly Ivins. From the humorous advice of Life Of The Party to the poignantly optimistic World Full Of Love, the intensity of Ball?s conviction never wavers while, simultaneously, the fun never stops. Shine Bright is exactly the album Ball set out to make.
