Late night show w/ Billy Allen and The Pollies

VIP tickets include:
- A short, unplugged mini-set by Alvin Youngblood Hart
- Special discussion with photographer Adam Smith
- First access to limited edition prints
- A complimentary Southern cocktail

Smith's exhibit features rare portraits of R.L. Burnside, Jason Isbell, Marty Stuart, Porter Wagoner, The Black Keys, and others, alongside the haunting backdrops of juke joints, cotton fields, and hill country gatherings.

A decades-long documentary on Southern sound and landscape, Smith's work includes 35mm shot, silver gelatin prints in handcrafted frames.

Live music comes from Ben Nichols, the longtime frontman of Lucero, who brings a stripped-down set, showcasing the southern gothic storytelling that runs through his songs. Joining Nichols is Luther Dickinson, GRAMMY-nominated co-founder of the North Mississippi Allstars. Luther has long championed hill country blues, playing with legends like R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough - both featured heavily in Smith's photography.

Doors for VIP ticket holders open at 6:00 p.m.and general admission ticket holders at 7:00 p.m. for gallery viewing.

At 8:00 p.m., the artists take the stage for a collaborative evening of intimate performances and storytelling, reflecting the spirit and imagery captured in Smith's lens.

Limited edition prints will be available for purchase onsite.
