SUMMARY:Chris Acker + Garrett T Capps
LOCATION:Hi-Dive
DESCRIPTION:**CHRIS ACKER + GARRETT T CAPPS**\n\n**CHRIS ACKER**: In a genr
 e full of tall tales and marketable lies\, New Orleans’ Chris Acker craf
 ts candid songs – weaving his wit and woes into a body of work that expo
 ses the stale plight of the American Songster to the honest\, and sometime
 s hilarious\, light of day.\n\nIn the tradition of Guthrie and Prine\, Chr
 is lends a quavering voice to the half-rotten romance of the unremarkable 
 and unrefined. Regardless if you’re sitting by a backyard fire on a mugg
 y Louisiana night or standing stage-side in some far flung town\, when you
  hear Chris Acker playing\, you’re hearing the end result of countless h
 ours of observing the masters of the craft…and the end result of repeati
 ng their mistakes.\n\nFrom the folk revival through the golden age of coun
 try music\, deafened by punk shows and brass bands alike\, Chris’s songw
 riting is a nod to the absurd yet muted brilliance that inhabits the molde
 d corners of the bars he patrons and cratered street he treads\, paired wi
 th a pained honesty that merits a long second look.\n\nAcker released his 
 fourth full-length album\, Famous Lunch\, on Gar Hole Records in October o
 f 2024. Famous Lunch contains some of his best work yet: laid back\, count
 ry-rockers like “Wouldn’t Do For You (Buddy)” and “Shit Surprise
 ” (which Paste Magazine called a “song of the year contender” in 202
 4)\, a few raucous\, bar-ready joints like “Don’t You Know (Who I Thin
 k I Am)” and “Bunn Machine”\, and tender\, folky triumphs like “St
 ubborn Eyes” and “Eyelash”\, all showcasing Chris’ gift of buildin
 g “vivid scenes at an impressively low word count” (No Depression).\n
 \nAcker tours solo or with his band The Growing Boys — Zach Thomas (bass
 )\, Nikolai Shveitser (pedal steel)\, Dave Hammer (guitar\, vocals)\, Sam 
 Gelband (drums\, vocals)\, and occasionally Howe Pearson (piano).\n\n**GAR

 cosmic country with a touch of humor and irreverence. Capps has released s
 everal albums\, including 'I Like Austin\, But I Love San Antone\,' which 
 celebrates his hometown and its musical heritage. Beyond performing\, he i
 s a co-owner of The Lonesome Rose\, a country-themed club\, and a tireless
  promoter of local and national artists\, helping to elevate San Antonio's
  status in the alt-country world.\n\nCapps's music is marked by its wit\, 
 emotional depth\, and genre-blending experimentation. He leads multiple ba
 nds\, including NASA Country and The Three Timers\, each exploring differe
 nt facets of country\, rock\, and Tex-Mex. His work often pays homage to T
 exas songwriting legends while pushing the boundaries of traditional count
 ry music. Capps is also recognized for his podcast 'Trouble Country\,' whi
 ch features interviews with nationally-known musicians\, and for his effor
