Hayes Carll & Corb Lund

About this event

---

Hayes Carll isn't preaching or teaching. He's not interested in telling the rest of us what to do or think. But he is charting out a personal guide for his life, quieting the noise, and sitting with his real voice - the one that's candid, consistent, and often inconvenient. We're Only Human is Carll's tenth album. Like his best lyrics, it is also an understated masterpiece, an honest snapshot of one man's confrontation and delight with humanity's biggest and most intimate questions. Where do we find forgiveness for ourselves and grace for others? How do we hold on to peace of mind and stay present? What can we - and should we - trust? And how can we moor ourselves to, well, ourselves, in the midst of confusing, trying times? We're Only Human offers audiences the chance to listen to Carll as he listens to himself.A rural Albertan hailing from the foothills of the Rocky Mountains with a long family lineage of ranchers and rodeo people, Corb Lund is about as authentic as they come, and equally as hard to define. The western Canadian singer-songwriter is an elusive artist - onstage, offstage, and in the studio - seamlessly weaving between the outlaw country, Western, and indie-folk realms with an honest curiosity and rowdy devotion to each. He was raised with the tried-and-true DIY sentiment of "if you want something done, you gotta do it yourself," launching his career recording in his basement, printing his own shirts, booking his own tours, and being his own manager and publicist - whatever it took to get it done. He toured for years with the indie-metal band the smalls, and later turned his sights to writing Western songs, creating a unique and quirky hybrid writing style along the way. He has received multiple domestic and international award nominations and wins. In 2022, Lund wo n his 14th career Canadian Country Music Award and made his debut at the historic Grand Ole Opry. His album of originals, El Viejo, was released in February 2024.
