Jon Langford's Four Lost Souls House Concert

Roots Hoot House Concerts is plenty pleased to welcome back Jon Langford with his latest project, Jon Langford's Four Lost Souls, on the afternoon of Sunday, October 22. This newest collaboration also features John Szymanski, Bethany Thomas and Tawny Newsome.

Four Lost Souls was recorded over four days starting on November 8th the day after the 2016 election at the NuttHouse in Sheffield, AL. The album originated in 2015, though, 100 miles north in Nashville where Jon Langford produced artwork for Dylan, Cash, and the Nashville Cats: A New Music City, the long-running exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame. Fate had it that one of those Nashville Cats, bassist and producer Norbert Putnam, was so enamored with Langfords paintings and piratey singing, he invited the stranger to come record in the Shoals.

A year after the albums beginnings the Welsh-bred, Chicago-based musician and visual artist Langford is in that studio with many of the musicians who put the region, as well as renowned FAME Studios and Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, on the musical map. Among them, members of the Swampers, David Hood and Randy McCormickworld famous players who have performed on all the songs you ever loved. Together they dutifully crafted a project brimming with images of killing and hope, Faulkner, the Natchez Trace, and the sea.

Nothing is better than an October Sunday afternoon show at Roots Hoot, and especially when Jon Langford is in the house. Get your asses here! Doors are at 4 pm and show time at 4:30. This is a BYOB/potluck show which means terrific food to go with an early October afternoon of great music. Sounds like win-win to us.
