Jeremy Short with Marc Ridge & the Revelers

He’s got the look (you won’t miss the fiery orange mustache), the chops (named one of the top 30 blues guitarists at the International Blues Challenge), the voice (smooth, soulful, and full of grit) and most importantly, he’s got heart that he brings to every note. 

Hailing from the hills of Eastern Kentucky, he calls his sound “Appalachian Space Funk” a genre-bending blend of gritty blues, deep funk, and Southern soul, and his vibrant stage presence is igniting stages across the country.

Even if you’ve never heard his name before, there’s a good chance you’ve felt his vibe. Short is carving a name for himself as one of the most dynamic performers on today’s roots and jam circuit.  He’s shared stages with Grace Bowers, John Oates, Jared James Nichols, Wynonna Judd, Ben Folds, Tommy Prine, Maggie Rose, Sierra Hull, Lucas Nelson, Tyler Childers, Kingfish, Marcus King, John Osborne, and Taj Mahal, and lit up festival crowds at places like Bonnaroo, FloydFest, Healing Appalachia, and Master Musicians Festival. 

This is lose-yourself, forget-the-world, dance-until-you’re-sweaty kind of music, and everyone is welcome. Whether you’re a diehard blues fan, a funk enthusiast, or just someone who wants to feel something real, a Jeremy Short show will leave you buzzing for days. 

 

Marc Ridges and the Revelers will open the show.  Marc Ridge & The Revelers are a 3 piece band out of Lafayette Indiana. Playing a blend of Roots Rock, Blues and Country Soul.

Leading him to quit his day job and hit the road, playing stages large and small. The 3 piece band has been tearing up the south with its unique blues. Supporting acts such as The Black Crowes, The Allman Betts Band, Elvie Shane and Whey Jennings.
