Chris Acker at Showboat Saloon

Event Overview

Acker released his fourth full-length album, Famous Lunch, on Gar Hole Records in October of 2024. Famous Lunch contains some of his best work yet: laid back, country-rockers like "Wouldn't Do For You (Buddy)" and "Shit Surprise" (which Paste Magazine called a "song of the year contender" in 2024), a few raucous, bar-ready joints like "Don't You Know Who I Think | Am)" and "Bunn Machine" , and tender, folky triumphs like "Stubborn Eyes" and "Eyelash" showcasing Chris' gift of building "vivid scenes at an impressively low word count" (No Depression).

THE MONTVALES
The Montvales have gone on to share the stage with bands like Willy Tea Taylor, The Local Honeys, James McMurtry, and Mama's Broke, and have appeared at festivals such as Healing Appalachia and the Old Quarter Songwriter Festival. This band is amazing!!!
