Blues Beatles @ the Phenix City Amphitheater
2018-06-23 20:00 | Phenix City Amphitheater, 508 Dillingham St., Phenix City, AL, 36867, United States
Join us for a fiery live performance by the Blues Beatles on Saturday, June 23, at the Phenix City Amphitheater! Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at the gate the night of the show, or in advance at the Phenix City Parks and Recreation Office or xorbia.com. A food truck court will be onsite and adult beverages will be available for purchase. Blankets and chairs are welcome, but no outside food, beverages, or pets allowed. Rain or Shine. Kids 12 and under are FREE! Our opening act will be Skyler Saufley and the 99th Degree.
Blues Beatles started during the breaks of the rehearsals of Today – an original band that Marcos Viana, Flavio Naves, Lancaster Ferreira, Bruno Falcão and Fred Barley started in 2010. Marcos, the singer, would invariably pick up his acoustic guitar and start playing Beatles songs. The other members of the band were amazed at how natural the songs sounded, as if he had written them himself. Being blues players the rest of the band started adding their blues twist to these “break songs”. One day Lancaster said: “why don’t we mix these two things we love to play? We could call this Blues Beatles!”Everyone loved the idea and together they started the Blues Beatles in 2013.
The first version of the Beatles songs that caught people’s attention was Ticket To Ride. The video has now more than two million views on Facebook. The band has worked and reworked many different songs since it was formed, but only the ones that sound natural to their ears stay in the repertoire. The arrangements combine blues and soul grooves that suit the vocals of the songs while adding a different feel to them. Instrumental solos and improvisation, typical elements of the blues, are an integral part of the Blues Beatles style. Their fiery live performances showcase their individual and collective skills as soloists.
Skyler Saufley is a local blues guitarist and is considered by many to be “The best new talent to hit the Columbus-Phenix City music scene in a number of years”, often being compared to the likes of Eric Clapton and B.B King. From the moment he picked up his first guitar, Skyler has been playing and studying the blues with the sole purpose of preserving its history and maintaining the legacy left behind by the blues legends before him.

The ‘Sad Clown with the Golden Voice’ is here with his heartfelt anthems and a suitcase full of Kleenex! This Pity Party is not all sadness and longing. The show is peppered with a brilliant sense of the absurd, mixing lots of humor with the awkward, tender moments.
A veritable “Pagliacci by way of Pee-Wee Herman and David Lynch” (The AJC), Puddles Pity Party has 300k fans on Facebook and over 120 million views on YouTube for indelible interpretations of classics by ABBA, Bowie, Cheap Trick and Queen and his unforgettable mash-up of “Pinball Wizard/Folsom Prison Blues”.

– The Boston Globe
“Fantastically brilliant…originality at its best.”
– Simon Cowell
“His special effect is a textured voice laced with melancholy…what makes him transcend the trope is his vulnerability.”
– The New York Times
“Clever and often hysterically funny… (Puddles) is ideally suited to songs popularized by belters old and new like Tom Jones, Sia and Celine Dion, all of which he performs with tear-jerking bravura…”
– LA Weekly
“Pagliacci by way of Pee-Wee Herman and David Lynch.”
– The Atlanta Journal Constitution

Turnpike Troubadours @ the Phenix City Amphitheater
2018-05-18 20:00 | Phenix City Amphitheater, 508 Dillingham St., Phenix City, AL, 36867, United States
Turnpike Troubadours feat. Jaime Wyatt
Friday, May 18, catch the the Turnpike Troubadours at the Phenix City Amphitheater rockin’ hard, lashed by burnin’ fiddle and guitar, maybe a little rough on the edges, but with a deep-rooted soul that’s impossible to resist. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at the gate the night of the show, or in advance at the Phenix City Parks and Recreation Office or at xorbia.com. Los Angeles-based Jaime Wyatt will be the opening act of the evening.There will be a food truck court and adult beverages available for purchase. Blankets and chairs are welcome, but no outside food, beverages, or pets allowed. Rain or Shine.
Turnpike Troubadours
“If Turnpike Troubadours are playing in your town, you’ll know it. A block or two from the venue, you’ll see the crowds lining up. Get closer and you’ll start to hear the music — rockin’ hard, lashed by burnin’ fiddle and guitar, maybe a little rough on the edges but with a deep-rooted soul that’s impossible to resist. And if you make it through the door, you’ll witness one of the best shows you’ll ever see.
Audiences in their home state of Oklahoma and down in Texas have known this for years. It’s no longer news when they draw 5,000-plus at Billy Bob’s in Fort Worth, sell out three nights in a row at Gruene Hall or turn several hundred away at the Legendary Stubb’s Bar-B-Q in Austin.
Word has spread, though: Their shows in Chicago, St. Louis and elsewhere have pulled in more than 1,000 fans. And they’ve drawn full houses at Joe’s Pub in New York and The Troubadour in L.A., among many other nightspots from coast to coast.”
Jaime Wyatt
“Jaime Wyatt is a striking figure with an old soul and a voice like a force of nature. Regardless of genre, the Los Angeles-based Wyatt is a dynamic performer, who sails naturally between vintage ‘60s and ‘70s country/rock ’n’ soul anthems and heartfelt country ballads of love and corruption. Country radio station 95.3 The Bear recently named her, alongside Sturgill Simpson and Margo Price, as “one of the country artists you may not have heard of, but need to hear.”
