Doors open 7pm. “Haunted Like Human” - Mythology evokes images of gods, titans, demons, and beasts of every kind. Yet, it’s the spark of humanity that keeps us telling and retelling myths. It’s these stories of seduction, inheritance, and hubris that Nashville-based folk duo Haunted Like Human rekindle in the 14 songs on their third album American Mythology. Since the release of 2021’s Tall Tales & Fables, Dale Chapman and Cody Clark have been refining their sound rather than departing from it. With a background in poetry and prose, Dale Chapman's granular focus on language is simpatico with Cody Clark’s background in classical guitar, where each note carries its own weight. The result is a shapely set of songs that borrow from universal lore in order to reveal intimate truths. The pair prove they write songs like novelists write their books, using careful detail and well-shaped characters to tell even the heaviest of stories. Whatever the topic, the songs shine with restrained arrangements and entwined harmonies. This duo tells stories so well that there’s no need to cloak them with heavy-handed production or vocal processing. Instead, Haunted Like Human lets the humanity shine through. Praise for their new album American Mythology: "Through its piercing limericks about human existence in all its shades, from downtrodden tumbleweeds to love-strewn epics, the record arrives at a time when everything feels so hopeless. It's within their art that you can discover slivers of hope that can reignite the thirst for living.” - Rainbow Rodeo We will have coffee (strong and fabulous!), teas, Boxed Water, sodas and cocoa!
