Mo Lowda & The Humble will be headlining the 7th Street Entry on April 21, 2023.

Illiterate Light will open the show. The duo (singer-guitarist Jeff Gorman and drummer Jake Cochran), is touring in support of their new album Sunburned, out now via Thirty Tigers.

The album’s single, “Hellraiser,” can be heard on YouTube and speaking about the song, Gorman said, “‘Hellraiser’ is not an autobiographical song. Much of our new record is autobiographical and emotionally intimate, but Hellraiser is a different beast. It came about while I was conducting a series of psychological experiments on myself after reading a chapter of the Red Book by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung. The song is a voodoo gumbo of my own subconscious grappling with uninitiated masculinity, pain vs pleasure, and a childhood love of horror films. I wrote the form and lyrics, Jake played keys and drums, and we embraced the studio in a new way, rejecting previous limitations we’d put on ourselves.”

Caroline Rose

Opening up the show was Caroline Rose, a self-described Americana band, but I would throw them in the country category as well. They were actually more excited to be playing

American singer, songwriter Caroline Rose is currently touring in support of The Art of Forgetting (New West Records).


Caroline Rose (31 May 2016)

We caught Rose in May 2016 and wrote, “Opening up the show was Caroline Rose in “modern-day hobo” wear, complete with flip-flops. We previously seen the vagabond with Rateliff in 2014 and we wrote that they were “Americana” but noted that they seemed to go beyond that. Rose is joined on stage by Pat Melvin on bass, Brett Lanier on pedal steel, and Dan Davine on drums. Notably gone is the upright bass! ”
