Clay Cook Live From the Red Room

Tune in tonight, Saturday, April 28th @ 8 PM EST for a live broadcast from The Red Room @ Cafe 939 featuring Clay Cook of Zac Brown Band.
 
Clay Cook has made a living in many ways in the music industry. An accomplished songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, he has recorded and toured with John Mayer, Sugarland, the Marshall Tucker Band, and Shawn Mullins.
 
His debut album, Unobstructed View, was recorded over three years in between touring with Zac Brown Band and at points Cook never thought the album would be completed. Overcoming all the obstacles thrown at him, he started to record one song at a time and eventually recorded, mixed, and mastered the eleven songs on the record.
 
He says, “It’s been a long road to make this record. There are a few pretty telling snapshots into my personal life — but that’s who I am and how I write. I’m very proud of the record that we all made.”

John Craigie Live From the Red Room

Tune in tonight, Friday, April 27th, @ 8 PM EST for a live broadcast from The Red Room @ Cafe 939 featuring John Craigie.

John Craigie is a singer-songwriter based out of Portland, Oregon. He’s renowned for his eloquent Americana style, engaging live shows, and off-the-cuff clever observations. He takes influence from classic songwriters of the past and adds his own touch.

His fifth full-length album, No Rain, No Rose boasted two collaborations with Gregory Alan Isakov, namely “Highway Blood” and “I Am California.” “I Am California” quickly generated 500K Spotify streams and counting, and gained the attention of Jack Johnson. Johnson reached out to Craigie, and in the summer of 2017 they they toured together including stops at The Greek Theatre in Berkeley, California and The Gorge in Washington state.

The Stranger calls his music, ““…the lovechild of John Prine and Mitch Hedberg with a vagabond troubadour edge.”

When Craigie plays, it’s one of those special shows that can make you laugh and cry in the same song. It’s a musical journey that can’t be denied.
