SUMMARY:Buffalo Music: Micky and the Motorcars (Acoustic) / Jason Eady – Sportsmens
DESCRIPTION:Sportsmens presents \nMicky and the Motorcars (Acoustic) / Jason Eady \nSaturday\, October 3\, 2026 8pm $25.00 + Online Fee \n \n \n  \nFor a handful of summers about 30 years ago\, tourists who wandered into a large dancehall in Stanley\, Idaho\, witnessed a family tradition finding new life. Young and old sat shoulder-to-shoulder\, taking a break from the town’s mountain hikes and river campgrounds to take in Muzzie Braun and the Boys––a local family band who’d made it to the Grand Ole Opry\, effortlessly spouted cowboy poetry and Western swing at gatherings around the country\, and featured Muzzie’s four young sons––precocious boys with rock-and-roll futures. \n  \n“There were kids running around\, people dancing\,” says Micky Braun\, the youngest brother who first climbed on stage to join the family when he was about five years-old. “Gary and I’d get up and play a couple of songs\, then we’d get off and the older brothers would stay up and play a couple more. It’s pretty funny\, looking back on it.” He laughs a little\, then adds\, still smiling\, “That’s how we got started playing.” \n  \nThe Braun brothers never stopped. Big brothers Cody and Willy started Reckless Kelly\, and Micky and Gary left Idaho for Austin and started Micky and the Motorcars\, a road-dogging favorite whose nonstop tour for the last 17 years has defined not just the lives of the brothers\, but also shaped Austin’s roots-rock resurgence that has played out over the last two decades. With their anticipated new album Long Time Comin’\, the Motorcars cement their place as elder statesmen of that alt-country scene who have managed to master that ever-elusive blend of artistic familiarity and surprise. \n  \n“I hope people take the time to hear the album as a whole\, and I hope they like it\,” Gary says from his home in Austin. “I think this one is a little bit better.” He pauses and laughs as he drawls\, “So I hope they like it a little more.”  \n  \nFor the Motorcars\, the question is never really whether to tour but where to play next. Gary––who handles guitar\, mandolin\, harmonica\, harmonies\, and occasionally lead vocals––and Micky\, lead vocalist and acoustic guitarist\, are joined in the Motorcars by Andy Carrell on bass\, Bobby Paugh on drums and percussion\, and new bandmate Pablo Trujillo on guitar. The combination of familiar and fresh players has reinvigorated the Motorcars’ live show\, which buzzes through a low-key rock-and-roll rapture built on grooves and the Brauns’ signature harmonies. \n  \nA mix of new and old also shaped the Long Time Comin’ recording process. Produced by Keith Gattis\, the 11-song album relied in part on Gattis’ go-to Nashville studio players––a first for the Motorcars. “It still sounds like Micky and the Motorcars\, but it was fun working with different guys who we’d never worked with before\,” Micky says. “They’ve been Keith’s band for 15 years. He can say\, ‘Give me a shuffle with a boom-chuck\,’ and they know what he’s talking about.”  \n  \nThe band isn’t the only change on Long Time Comin’. Gary\, who has always contributed a song or two to Motorcar records\, wrote or co-wrote six of the album’s tracks and sings every tune he penned. “I don’t think I decided to really write more––I think I just got better at it and worked a little harder at it the past couple of years\,” Gary says. “In the past\, I just let Micky do it because he was good at it. It was easy for me not to do it.”  \n  \nMicky loves the shift. “It’s almost a split album between the two of us on lead vocal––very different from our normal\,” he says. “I think our fans will enjoy it. They always love the songs Gary sings live. They always want him to sing more.”  \n  \nThe album kicks off with the ambling “Road to You.” Written by Micky and Courtney Patton\, the rollicking singalong is classic Motorcars and an ideal welcome mat for the collection. Sauntering “Rodeo Girl” swings and punches up the pace\, before “Alone Again Tonight”––a Gary track written with Gattis––watches loneliness with empathetic ache.  \n  \nSeveral tracks take note of the universal search for comfort––even when it’s not the stuff of fairytales or even particularly dignified. Over crunchy guitars\, “Stranger Tonight” captures an evening’s quest for no-strings companionship. “It was an idea I had just watching people at bars––that lonely girl I saw time and time again but with a different set of glasses\, over and over\,” Gary says. “It seems like everybody can relate to that––out looking for something new that doesn’t have to be love.” \n  \nSweet and sad\, “Break My Heart\,” another track penned by Gary with Jeff Crosby\, looks back after the end of a relationship. “You’re not mad anymore but you’re thankful of the good times\,” Gary says. “It’s also about finding yourself again. It’s a moving-on song.” Quiet and sparse\, the Gary-penned “Run into You” details a longing to cross paths with an ex-lover who’s moved on with heartbreaking clarity. \n  \nAnchored by crying B-3 organ\, “Hold This Town Together” explores the struggle to enjoy what once was easy after the loss of someone who’ll never come back. After years of trying\, Micky wrote the song for Mark\, a friend and the Motorcars’ first bassist\, who passed away. “Hold This Town\,” written by Micky and Jeff Crosby\, muses over the hometown faces and places that never change. “There are the same people at the same bars\, the same people working at the grocery stores\,” Micky says\, then adds with a laugh\, “It’s kind of a depressing party song.” Another Jeff Crosby-Micky collaboration\, “Thank My Mother’s God” pays beautiful tribute to moms and their devotion to their black sheep\, running wild. \n  \nTwo album standouts stand tall: “Lions of Kandahar\,” written by Gary alone\, and the title track\, which Micky penned with master songwriter Bruce Robison. Over instrumentation that evokes the tense hum of Middle Eastern military activity\, “Lions of Kandahar” follows a deployment from a first-person perspective. The result is jarring\, compelling\, and deeply human––a breathtaking piece of songwriting that took five years to complete. Winsome “Long Time Comin’” is an ode to the satisfaction of patience and perseverance rewarded in different forms––a stunning tapestry that also reflects the road to the album itself. \n  \nGuitars and songs at the ready\, Micky and Gary hope most of all that their sprawling cross-continental fanbase connect with Long TimeComin’\, a collection four years in the making. “If you can put your heart on your sleeve and say it\, it’s the best medicine for people\,” Micky says\, reflecting on the album. “They can lock into it and enjoy the ride.”  \n  \n \n  \nWith a decades-long commitment to his craft as a songwriter\, Jason Eady has built his career on bringing his unique perspective to a variety of genres\, from the “groove centered” blues of his native Mississippi to the classic sound of Texas\, the place he calls home. Known by critics and fans alike for his thoughtful\, soulful writing and multi-genre mastery\, Eady’s acumen as an artist is rooted in his ability to balance musical exploration with tradition–the result is an artist who delivers authentic songs that detail slices of Eady’s life that resonate with audiences\, whether he’s accompanied by bluegrass pickers or pedal steel. At the heart of Eady’s music is the song and his ability–proven by time and his extensive accolades–to remain loyal and authentic to himself while pushing history telling beyond the conventions of genre and form.

SUMMARY:Buffalo Music: The Gibson Brothers – Sportsmens
DESCRIPTION:Sportsmens presents \nThe Gibson Brothers \nSunday\, October 4\, 2026 $30.00 + Online Fees \n4pm Doors\, 6pm Showtime \n \n \n  \nThe Gibson Brothers \nThere’s a reason why Ricky Skaggs pulled Eric and Leigh Gibson off the stage at the Ryman \ntwo decades ago and offered to produce their debut record. The same thing that led David \nFerguson and Grammy Award winning producer and Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach to \nco‑write and produce their 14th album “Mockingbird” (2018) and release it on his own label Easy \nEye Sound alongside cultural icons such as Hank Williams Jr. and Dr. John: The Gibson \nBrothers are the real deal. They can pick. They can sing. And they can write a damn good \ncountry song. They’ve won about every bluegrass award you can name and released albums on \nalmost every Premier Americana label you can think of including Sugar Hill and Rounder\, and\, if \nthat’s not enough\, their songs have been recorded by bluegrass legends no less than Del \nMcCoury. It’s a resume almost anybody in country music would be proud to have. But despite all \nof this\, The Gibson Brothers are not yet household names. Their latest album\, \n“Darkest Hour\,” produced by dobro master Jerry Douglas might just change that. \nAs soon as you hear Leigh singing with Alison Krauss [“I Feel The Same Way As You”] on the \nnew project you realize that his voice is as good as anyone in music today. Add the brother \nharmony to that and they have something truly unique. While “Mockingbird” featured gorgeous \nproduction\, recreating the sound on stage was difficult. \n“We put together a little band to go out and try to recreate it\,” \nEric told me\, but we couldn’t. We would have to have such a huge band to \ntry to recreate that record\, but we did the best we could.” \nDouglas—who has won 14 Grammy awards and backed up everyone from Ray Charles to Paul \nSimon and George Jones—wanted to make a record they could actually play on the road. So he \npicked the best songs (out of dozens) and squirreled them away in Sound Emporium’s Studio B. \nBut then the pandemic hit. \n“We did our last shows in March of 2020\, ” Eric told me. \n“We were in Nashville the week everything was shutting down. It was surreal\, but Jerry was like\, \n‘Guys\, the world’s going crazy. Let’s let this be our little cocoon. \n’ And we did. We cut all of the acoustic stuff and then went home and didn’t play any more gigs until things started opening. \nThen we went back and finished the record with Jerry in February of 2021.” \nThe result is arguably the strongest record The Gibson Brothers have ever made. The songs \nrecorded in the first recording period featured Mike Barber (bass)\, Justin Moses (mandolin)\, \nEamon McGloughlin (fiddle)\, and of course\, Jerry Douglas\, adding in John Gardner (drums)\, \nGuthrie Trapp (electric guitar)\, and Todd Parks (bass) for the final tracks\, \n“Darkest Hour” showcases just how easily Eric and Leigh move from what Dan Auerbach dubbed “country soul” \n(“I Go Driving”) to high octane bluegrass (“What a Difference A Day Makes” and “Dust”) with \nDouglas always keeping the spotlight on the songs themselves. \n“That’s what I love about those guys\,” Douglas told me “they are just great songwriters.” \nGrowing up on a dairy farm in northern New York and then traveling around the world in a \nbluegrass band has given them a unique vantage point on life\, and the songs on “Darkest Hour” \nare a testament to that. “Jerry wanted to hear everything we’d written\,” Eric told me\, “so we just \nsent him songs: brand new songs\, old songs\, there’s stuff on that record 20 years old that we \nnever recorded. We wanted to see what he would do with us as singer‑songwriters. We respect \nhim that much. Some of my favorite records are Jerry Douglas produced records. He didn’t \ndisappoint.” \nIf The Gibson Brothers had stayed in Nashville in 1999 they might possibly be Grand Ole Opry \nmembers by now. At the very least they would be hit songwriters on Music Row. But\, just like \ntheir buddy Del McCoury\, they chose family over success (McCoury was in his 50s when he \nmoved to Nashville and didn’t really see major success until he was approaching 60). All they \nneed is someone to shine a light on them.Their talent level is well‑established\, the only \nproducers they have ever worked with are Ricky Skaggs\, Dan Auerbach\, David Ferguson \nandJerry Douglas. I dare say not many musicians can stack up a list of producers that strong. \nFor The Gibson Brothers though\, they just want to keep writing\, singing\, and standing on a \nstage.
