Chris Combs LIVE at Gotahold

Gotahold Brewing 409 W Van Buren, Eureka Springs, AR, United States

‬ ‭ There is no one without the other for Chris Combs. Even from childhood, picking up his first guitar meant also‬ ‭ composing original music, an inextricable partnership that has shaped his lifelong love of the medium and, ultimately,‬ ‭ his career as a working musician, now moving into its third decade.‬ ‭ A native Tulsan, Combs’ musicality took equal inspiration from a handful of guitar teachers, choral directors in church‬ ‭ choirs, and early childhood trips to visit family in New Orleans. This foundation of equal parts instrumental skill,‬ ‭ music theory, and a curiosity for jazz music and improvisation has made Combs not only a natural bandleader but a‬ ‭ coveted collaborator and producer across genres and styles.‬ ‭ Shortly after joining renowned band Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey in 2007 on lap steel, he became the group’s primary‬ ‭ composer, touring jazz festivals globally with the band and meeting and working with some of his musical heroes,‬ ‭ including Matt Chamberlain (David Bowie, Tori Amos, Brad Mehldau), Steven Bernstein (Leonard Cohen, Levon‬ ‭ Helm), Jeff Coffin (Bela Fleck, Dave Matthews), Mike Dillon (Ani DiFranco, Primus), John Medeski (Medeski, Martin,‬ ‭ and Wood), and George Porter Jr. (The Meters).‬ ‭ As the band’s lead composer, he wrote several new JFJO works, many of which netted glowing press in the U.S. and‬ ‭ abroad and topped best-of lists. These include 2011’s “Race Riot Suite, ” a conceptual instrumental record depicting‬ ‭ the then-largely unknown Tulsa Race Massacre, a devastating hometown theme he revisits even today as a live‬ ‭ guitarist with many of the artists in the city’s Fire in Little Africa hip-hop collective.‬ ‭ While touring with JFJO, Combs received a commission to compose one hour of music for a 14-piece jazz ensemble in‬ ‭ Switzerland, with the resulting performance met with such acclaim that he was invited back to do the same just two‬ ‭ years later. It’s one small example of how Combs’ mind can endlessly scale: he routinely writes, records, and‬ ‭ produces music as a solo artist or in any number of configurations and with any number of musical colleagues. His‬ ‭ current roster of projects includes Combsy, Lil’ Big Band, Gogo Plumbay, Mike Dee & Stone Trio, Booomclap, and of‬ ‭ course Chris Combs—Trio, Quartet, Sextet, and so on.‬ ‭ Storied Chicago-based jazz and blues magazine‬‭ DownBeat‬‭ named him a Rising Star instrumentalist in its Critics’ Poll‬ ‭ in both 2022 and 2023, and he capped last year with two new records:‬‭ Neon Eyes,‬‭ with his experimental‬‭ indie project‬ ‭ Combsy, and‬‭ Run Down the Ghost‬‭ as Chris Combs proper,‬‭ recorded with Aaron Boehler on bass (Wilderado) and Josh‬ ‭ Raymer (JFJO) on drums.‬ ‭ Combs kicked off 2024 performing, writing, and recording in NOLA and has both extensive trio touring on the books‬ ‭ and several new records already in the works via Tulsa-based Horton Records. It’s not some chameleonic restlessness‬ ‭ that Combs could play every night of the week in a different band after a day of writing music for another; he’s one of‬ ‭ the fortunate few whose prolific muse never rests—and who has the work ethic and skill to keep pace.

Sean Harrison LIVE at Gotahold

Gotahold Brewing 409 W Van Buren, Eureka Springs, AR, United States

Sean was born in Nashville and raised mostly in Fayetteville, Arkansas, where he grew up in the literary home of the late novelist/screenwriter William Harrison, probably best known for the movie Rollerball. The father taught creative writing at the University of Arkansas, which put the son in frequent company of numerous talented writing students and visiting writers. It also put him in touch with a lively college campus during the turbulence and cultural renaissance of the late 1960s. Sean lived some years in Europe, then Texas, with a lot of traveling and finally back home to Fayetteville. “I have busked in London, Bath, Paris, Florence and Venice, southern Spain and other parts of Europe, New York City, Dallas/Ft. Worth,” Sean said. “It’s only looking back that I can appreciate where I’ve been. I don’t regret anything – even my biggest mistakes.”

Lately, Sean is best known in the songwriters’ community for his humorous, quirky and self-mocking tunes about the average guy’s stumbles and struggles through American life. He also writes the occasional sad song about suckers and losers. With a style that crisscrosses boundaries of Americana, Country, Blues and Rock, Sean’s literary lineage explores new territory in the southern storytelling tradition.

He has performed solo and in a variety of bands doing shows across Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma, and he has collaborated in recording projects including writing, co-writing and producing a popular album for another country artist, Milton Patton. That album reached No. 50 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart; No. 6 on Billboard's Heatseekers South Central regional chart; No. 163 on the iTunes Country Album Chart; and No. 5 on iTunes Australia chart. One song was featured in the movie ADDicted.
