$10 – $15
Homegrown in the rich music scene of Virginia, The Wilson Springs Hotel is a band brought together under a genreless flag; A folk band committed to rock and roll, and a rock band committed to classic country. After forming in 2021, Jacob Ritter (guitar/songwriter/lead vocals), Victor McManus (lead guitar), Brendan Boylan (fiddle), Sebastien Richard (drums) and Andrew Carper (bass), released two albums in quick succession [self-titled (2021) and Old Thoughts and Memories (2023)] and have been on a rigorous tour schedule of headline shows and festivals such as Floyd Fest, Charleston Bluegrass Festival, Rooster Walk, DelFest (MD), RiversEDGE Amphitheater (OH), Red Wing (VA), GrassRoots Shakori (NC), Seaport Beach Fest (NY), Rooster Walk (VA), to name a few.
Once again, The Wilson Springs Hotel is releasing new music later in 2024. Their first single “Pulling Weeds”, available now, explores the struggle with repetitive mental loops, like attempting to get nutrients out of the same spent garden. Their new songs are a split between a classic country, and a more rock influenced sound, finding the band still unwilling to conform to a single genre, and instead celebrating the many influences that brought them to where they are today.
“ They (The Wilson Springs Hotel) take you on a journey through slow & somber crooner country, to rippin’ honky tonk, to hard hitting indie rock, thru almost psych-rock like guitar tones, and back again. “ – The Parsons Advocate (LiveReview)
Conrad Moore is a North Georgia native singer-songwriter who captures the soul of the working southern man. His songs have roots in folk storytelling which nod to the ups and downs of life, love, and the pursuit of happiness. All washed in hints of booze, half-truths, and motel rooms. His lyrics personify Mother Nature and her dance with Appalachia. The human condition and blue-collar woes are often his muses. Although his songs have no shortage of heartbreak and day to day strife.
Conrad produces a relatable angst of a generation growing up within the confines of a flawed American dream. Not without hope, his music shares with us what’s left to save about the southland.
