Saturday, Jul 18, 2026, 9:00 PM
HOT DAMN SCANDAL Hot Damn Scandal finds its songs under park benches and in forgotten alleyways, on the corner of Tom Waits and Gershwin.The resulting outlaw ballads, dirty jazz, circus freakouts, shanty-rags, string band funk, lonesome heart-breakers, and whiskey bottle love songs blend together in what may be best described as ‘Cabaret Americana’: theatrical, orchestral, lyrical, and endlessly danceable. The group began as a nebula of traveling musicians formed around the songs of founder Pete Irving over 15 years ago. With influences ranging from Roma Swing to Motown, from Klezmer too Country, they’ll be in your ears and on your mind for good after you’ve seen them once. CLYDE MCGEE Clyde McGee is a dark folk and Americana artist. His songwriting and style is heavily influenced by early American swing, folk, and Appalachian old time music. When he’s not performing solo, Clyde shreds the banjo in neo-folk band The Bridge City Sinner as well as fronting Americana trio Clyde & The Milltailers.
