Happy Holidaze! Things are heating up for this year’s Holiday Hootenanny! Needless to say, we’re packing A LOT into 4 hrs 45 min. Y’all this is truly a one-of-a-kind show featuring a chunk of ATL’s finest musicianship and then some! It’s our own holiday party, with all the right people there. Come and be a part! Below is an update regarding the show.

=================

I’m excited to announce that guitarist Benji Shanks (Blackberry SmokeKristian Bush) is joining the tribute to the late Dustin Scott Warren at Holiday Hootenanny 12! Along with Benji, Gaurav Malhotra, and Matt Williams, those four stellar musicians were part of the core of the incredible group of the 2000’s Captain Soularcat. Also joining in this special mini set are three keyboardists, Spencer Pope, Ryan Murphy (performed with the band at a couple of TDawg’s Back Porch Hootenannies), & Jamie Kudiats (Brandyhouse days, recorded on first album). This is truly going to be an amazing, emotional musical homage to a wonderful human being.

We will also be featuring a double drum kit/percussion arrangement featuring Darren Stanley, Richie Jones, Mark Raudabaugh, Gaurav Malhotra & Joe Craven throughout the evening, and especially during the tribute to Count M’Butu and Yonrico Scott!

Schedule

7 – 8 PM: The Ain’t Sisters

8:20 – 9:40 PM: Jim Lauderdale (Bluegrass/Electric) > Count M’Butu-Yonrico Scott Drums/Percussion

10:05 – 11:40 PM: Scott Warren Tribute > Rev. Jeff Mosier & Friends

=================

Enjoy this jam from 2012 that starts out with Count M’Butu (joined by Eric Gant) singing Willie Nelson’s classic “You Are Always On My Mind” into the Mosier Bros performing “Black-headed Woman”, joined by Yonrico Scott, Oteil Burbridge, Jeff Sipe, Jimmy Hall, Mark Van Allen, Rurik Nunan, Jeff Mosier, Johnny Mosier, Larry Keel. Wow! You will enjoy this sort of magic on December 17!

We are excited to announce Springer Mountain Farms as a sponsor this year! Their support over the years has really been a huge boost to the event, and we are forever grateful for their continued involvement. They are not only ambassadors of the music but also providers of some of the best chicken on the planet! Owner and founder Gus Arrandale is truly one with the music, supporting songwriters, poets, and are currently in their sixth season supporting Nashville’s The Daily & Vincent Show on RFD-TV.

TDawg Presents is honored to be able to bring the high level of talent to you that IS the Holiday Hootenanny year after year. Beginning with the first edition in 2011, the show embodied the musical energy of a living Col. Bruce Hampton and since 2017 the spirit of Col. Bruce. As the years have passed (and also prior to Bruce’s untimely departure), quite a few musicians – including drummer Yonrico Scott, jazz pianist Johnny Knapp, Hammond B-3 maestro Ike Stubblefield, wizard of percussion Count M’Butu, Gregg Allman, and the legendary Vassar Clements – have passed along to the great jam in the sky. The Holiday Hootenanny has proven to be an ideal outlet to celebrate these musical giants, and their energy weaves in and out of each show creating a concert you will never see again.

This year is no different as we have two very special mini-sets. The first is a drum/percussion jam honoring Count & Yonrico that will follow Jim Lauderdale’s set, which is now a permanent addition to the evening. The second is a tribute to our late friend and brilliant songwriter/musician Scott Warren, founding member of the band Captain Soularcat, a band that also included Holiday Hootenanny house musicians, percussionist Gaurav Malhotra and guitarist Matt Williams, as well as highly acclaimed Blackberry Smoke/Christian Bush guitarist, Benji Shanks. Gaurav & Matt will lead a three-song set that will segue way into the final set led by Rev. Jeff Mosier featuring a plethora of musicians! Expect some surprise guests to participate not only in these two unique sets but also quite a few sit-ins throughout the show. Please scroll to the bottom of this update to see a video of Captain Soularcat performing their song, Higher Mounds.
