Caleb Caudle, a country-bluegrass artist, will present Sunday’s Levitt AMP Series concert in Wiley Park in Galva.
His performance will begin at 7 p.m. Sunday, following an opening performance by vocalist Laney Jones beginning at 6.
“Caudle Forsythia,” the latest studio LP offering from Caudle, is a portrait of his truest self, of the artist at his most solitary and reflective.Thematically, it meets anticipation for the unknown future with nostalgia for the past, and reconciles both with meditation in the present. The album was produced by John Carter Cash, and features veteran session players Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, Dennis Crouch and Fred Eltringham, and the vocal talents of Carlene Carter, Elizabeth Cook and Sarah Peasall McGuffey.
On this record, outsider influences come into play nearly as much as his foundational knowledge of traditional Appalachian folk and other music history. This collection of 10 songs serves as a manifesto of Caudle’s beliefs and simplest desires.
“Stories Up High,” Laney Jones’ newest album, follows her 2013 debut, “Golden Road,”which landed her a nationally televised performance at The Kennedy Center, and 2016’s Laney Jones, which prompted Rolling Stone to dub her an Artist You Need To Know.
To date, Jones’ songs have racked up millions of streams, soundtracked films from Disney and Pixar, and turned up in commercials for Google, Netflix, Toyota, and Red Bull among others.
All Levitt Series concerts are free to the public. Food and drink stands will be on hand.
