JACK THE RADIO & CRENSHAW PENTECOSTAL - Saturday 3/1/25

FULL BAND STRIPPED-DOWN ACOUSTIC SETS WITH JACK THE RADIO AND CRENSHAW PENTECOSTAL!

Raleigh, North Carolina roots-rockers Jack the Radio blend rock and blues sensibility with Americana, folk, and country to create a tapestry of swampy southern-tinged sounds on their latest album release, Creatures. All of the songs on the album were written by singer George Hage with a common thread that weaves its way through telling us to stand strong as we ride out the highs and lows of what life throws at us. Over the years, Jack The Radio has shared the stage with The Avett Brothers, Robert Randolph and the Family Band, George Thorogood, Cold War Kids, Rayland Baxter, and American Aquarium to name a few. Their music has been featured in countless commercial, film, and TV projects including Modern Family, Boardwalk Empire, Graceland, Beverly Hills 90210 as well as in sports programming for NASCAR, NFL, PGA among others.

Nights of late-night, beer-driven jamming around on any Tom Petty song they could think of led Winston-Salem’s Crenshaw Pentecostal into breaking away from a backing band role for a solo artist in 2017. Dusty Redmon (Beloved/The Almost), Brian Norris (Ross Coppley/Deals on Bombs), and Zach Tilley began working up their sound of dirty Americana-tinged rock and roll and wound up sharing stages with Bon Jovi, Gin Blossoms, Old 97s, Futurebirds, Tyler Bryant, and lots more. Jeremy Smith (John Mark McMillan/Thousand Dollar Movie) and Drew Ely (Eno Mountain Boys) completed the lineup, giving the band a real “Heartbreakers meets the Replacements” vibe.
