Genre-bending soul and funk rocker Just Loud is headlining the 7th Street Entry this December 21, 2023.

We last heard from Just Loud when he went on tour in support of “Diamonds and Dope Boys” and the self-titled debut album via Five Seven Music.

Just Loud is probably best known for the funky song “Soul Train” feat. Debbie Harry of Blondie, unfortunately after 1 million views, Paramount Global blocked the video due to its copyright claims.

Ainsley Costello and country music singer/songwriter Chaunté Shayne to open.

Monument Records’ powerhouse vocalist Caitlyn Smith is heading out on tour in support High & Low.

She was nominated for ACM’s “New Female Artist of the Year”

“What a week! I’m both honored and grateful to be nominated for an ACM Award for ‘New Female Artist of the Year.’ What a joy it is to be in the company of such incredible artists,” shared Smith. “I moved to Nashville to chase this dream over a decade ago and to get that news the day before my third album drops is beyond anything I could have ever dreamed. This record is so personal and stepping into the producer chair for it was both terrifying and empowering, but I knew in order to grow I had to allow myself to get comfortable with the uncomfortable. I’m so excited to finally share it with the world.”

Zakk Sabbath is headlining First Avenue this December 28. The Black Sabbath tribute band features guitarist and singer Zakk Wylde, bassist Blasko, and drummer Joey “C” Castillo.

Zakk Sabbath (21 October 2016)

We saw the band in Oct 2016 and wrote, “Next up was a simple cover band… that very nearly blew the roof off the venue. Zakk Sabbath is an offshoot project spearheaded by former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist and current Black Label Society leader Zakk Wylde, alongside bassist Rob “Blasko” Nicholson (Ozzy, Rob Zombie) and drummer Joey Castillo (Queens of the Stone Age, Danzig).…”

The Native Howl to open.
