Sundilla continues the tradition of bringing world-renowned performers to Auburn when Dirk Hamilton takes the stage on Friday, April 5. Showtime is 7:30 and admission is just $12 at the door, with advance tickets available for just $10 from The Gnu’s Room, Spicer’s Music, and online at www.sundillamusic.com. Some might see the name Dirk Hamilton and think “Who?”. But just because Dirk Hamilton isn’t famous in east-central Alabama doesn’t mean that they don’t know him, and his music, in other places. After all, when you’ve been performing and making records for more than 30 years, it’s hard to stay unknown. […] Read more »

50 Concerts, 50 States, One Weekend is a network of coordinated live events around the country on one weekend in March, to raise epilepsy awareness through the power of music. The organizers could have picked any of the great venues in the state to be the Alabama representative, and we’re proud and honored that they picked Sundilla. And we’re even happier that we get to present Caroline Herring, ensuring that we will offer a fantastic concert for the cause. Caroline Herring comes to us from Atlanta, but in this case via the Netherlands and UK; after wrapping up a tour […] Read more »

John Flynn returns to Sundilla, new CD in hand… and hopefully no bad weather anywhere around. (We have to say that whenever John is scheduled, ever since the show we had to cancel for two reasons: he was stranded in Delaware by a fierce winter storm, while at the same time Auburn was buried under several inches of snow and ice. That was one big winter storm! And, remembering it makes us appreciate it when John comes to town. In an era of deep division, John Flynn’s songs call us together as they speak for the wounded, the weary, and […] Read more »

Last month Josh Harty opened for Eric Taylor, and you can choose your superlative: he owned the room, he blew the roof off, he made the night his own`, and so on. We knew right away that we wanted to get him back, and not as an opener this time. And thanks to Spicer’s Music, Josh is back even sooner than we could have hoped. On Friday, February 15, at 7:30, Josh will be appearing on the stage at Spicer’s Music. It’s the first– but not the last– collaboration between Sundilla and Spicer’s, and we couldn’t kick it off in […] Read more »

Chad Elliott makes the long journey from Iowa for his Sundilla debut on February 8.  But long joureys are nothing new for Chad Elliott; he has been on the road for more than a decade performing a blend of roots, blues and folk music. He has played across the country and has been lauded as a modern-day troubadour. Elliott has released seventeen full-length albums since he began his songwriting career. His latest studio album, “Redemption Man,” was produced by Bo Ramsey (Lucinda Williams, Greg Brown). It features the song, “Same, Old Way,” which was the 2009 Woody Guthrie Festival song […] Read more »

The mention of Nanci Griffith, Lyle Lovett, Guy Clark, Steve Earle and the late Townes Van Zandt would be incomplete without mentioning Eric Taylor in the same breath. Yes, that’s some incredibly high praise, but it’s not unwarranted, and not unearned. Unfortunately, the 14-year gap between his (highly acclaimed) debut CD in 1981 and it’s (equally acclaimed) follow-up in 1995 caused some people to forget about him, and some weird music-world realities caused some of his earliest and best work to be all but unavailable to anyone who wasn’t willing to shell out big bucks for import versions of those […] Read more »

Artful, intense, and often transcendent…imaginative, and extremely engaging… If you love a moving song and magical madness, Joe delivers it all…the music, the lyrics, the energy, and the passion for exceptionally well written songs. Joe Crookston loves his audience, and it shows. If you were to look for the perfect folk song, it would be hard to find a better one than one called “Fall Down as the Rain.” It encompasses life, death, reincarnation…in short, the mysteries of the universe. When my life is over / And I have gone away I’m gonna leave this big ole’ world / And […] Read more »
