Steel City Rovers

A Wednesday Show – the Steel City Rovers

at The Habitat

Wednesday March 6th, 2024 – Show 6:30PM (Gates 5:30PM)

Note – This is a WEDNESDAY show!!!

About this Show…

This is a very recently scheduled Pop Up show to help them fill their schedule – It will be an intimate, possibly acoustic, but definitely enjoyable show on a Wednesday Evening – and if you come out for this show, remember that it is a unique opportunity to hear more about them, and the stories behind their music, and really get to know them.

The Steel City Rovers perform dynamic and expressive music that is a unique composite of traditional Celtic music and North American styles including bluegrass, folk and roots. Their original works touch on issues of love, loss, celebration and heritage and they also breathe life into newly-discovered instrumental melodies from as far back as centuries ago.

Their sophisticated arrangements are inviting for the most casual listener but are rewarding for those who are well versed in the nuances of musical complexity. The Rovers stand out for their powerful, emotive vocals and engaging entertainment. They perform on meticulously crafted replicas of historical instruments that rarely appear on today’s musical landscape.

This highly active touring band headlines large festival stages, gives intimate concert performances, educates in a variety of workshop and master-class settings and performs internationally with symphonies. They create, collaborate and work hard to further the love and awareness of music.

A Sunday Show – Grace Morrison

at The Habitat

Note – This is a SUNDAY show – Gates 3PM Show 4PM!

About Grace

Grace Morrison has never allowed others to define her. Over the course of her prolific career, she’s released three exceedingly well received albums — I’m the Apple (2017), Reasons (2019) and Daughter (2021), each of which testify to her artistry and her acumen.

She’s many things — a singer, songwriter, a mom, Renaissance Faire performer, and yes, even a cranberry grower. Yet she pursues each activity with an uplifting attitude and authentic enthusiasm. It leaves an impact on her audiences, creating an emotional bond that’s both enduring and engaging. It’s the mark of an exceptional artist that finds her listeners leaving her shows feeling like they’ve found a new friend, met a kindred spirit and connected with someone who has engaged them with touching tunes, gentle humor and remarkable stories that resonate and reflect true life experiences.

In that regard, Grace has patented a sound she calls “Saltwater Country.” She describes it as the idea that we need the ocean — and all sources of water for that matter — to provide a place that offers cleansing — not only physically, but spiritually as well. She expresses those sentiments in her songs and in her live performances, through the spoken interludes she shares between songs.

So too, her themes incorporate a variety of subjects all shared from a personal perspective — be it life as a new mom, accepting one’s body image, dealing with alcoholism, substance abuse and eating disorders, life in a small town and even by referencing historical scenarios as well.

Grace’s career has been built on one accomplishment after another. “My first concert was the Tori Amos/Alanis Morrisette 5 ½ weeks tour,” she recalls. “I remember sitting there thinking, ‘Someday I’m going to be onstage with those people.” My favorite thing about this record is that my last producer was on that stage. He’s Tori’s bass player. Full circle!”

She made her initial impact singing back-up vocals for such notables as Eddie Money and Joey Molland of Badfinger before venturing out on her own. “Covid year 2020 was a gift to me in that regard,” she reflects. “Time stopped. I reassessed. Is music-making a career that I really want to pursue? Would I rather go teach in a public school and have some kind of retirement plan?”

Ultimately, she realized on reflection that writing, recording and performing has put her on the path she was meant to pursue. With her new album, Maybe Modern, that realization comes to full fruition.

About Mike…

Southern Rockin’ Country with a twist of lime, a splash of salt water, and distilled in the backwoods of Tennessee…yep, that about sums it up!

Mike has spent well over a decade on the road-touring the US, Caribbean, Mexico and Central America-and building a grass roots fanbase for his original music. With story teller songs about life and love, lyrical tales from the unique people he’s met along the way, and of course plenty of summertime “drinkin’ at the lake tunes” with an island-inspired twist, there’s something in a Mike Nash show for everyone to relate to.

John Frinzi returns to The Habitat

About John:

A gifted singer and songwriter, John Frinzi has built an audience through craft and originality. An early demo caught the ear of legendary steel guitarist and long time Coral Reefer Band member Doyle Grisham, and their working relationship led to John’s first CD, “Into The Dawn.” His second album, “Shoreline,” showcases Frinzi’s versatility as a songwriter and vocalist with many of the songs co-written by Tom Corcoran, co-writer of the Jimmy Buffett classics,“Fins,” and “Cuban Crime of Passion.” Both CDs remain in regular rotation on Sirius/XM’s Radio Margaritaville.

Most recently, John teamed up with multi-platinum Songwriter and Producer Aaron Scherz on their singles “Summer Sun” and “Lyin’ or Lucky” which, in addition to being fan favorites on Sirius/XM, are included on their new album “Blue Sky View”. A seasoned live performer, Frinzi has toured nationally playing over 250 dates a year and has been featured at major festivals including the Keith Sykes Songwriters Celebration, Key West Songwriters Festival, Pensacola Beach Songwriters Festival and has shared the stage with acclaimed artists including Jesse Winchester, Mac McAnally, The Coral Reefer Band, Todd Snider and Maria Muldaur.

John loves the listening room shows, and we are pleased that he considers The Habitat a place he enjoys coming to play
