Independent all-female, queer southern rock band, Thelma and the Sleaze will play at The
Foundry, Friday July 22 at 7:30PM.

LG is the embodiment of hustle. As the driving force behind Thelma and The Sleaze, she is the songwriter, the visionary, the take-no-mess-from-anyone front woman who single handedly tries to keep rock and roll alive. Thelma and The Sleaze has toured the US for years building a legion of fans, affectionally called her creepers. In 2019, she played almost nonstop with over 100 shows. The growing social media presence, the hit podcast, the features with Yamaha Guitars are really all the result of her incredible songwriting, visceral guitar playing, and the guts to deliver on her vision of what Rock and Roll should be.

Having performed with acts like Eagles of Death Metal, The Coathangers, Birdcloud, Burmuda Triangle, and Charles Bradley, Thelma and The Sleaze have long established themselves as one of the best touring bands out there. Having signed on to The What of Whom for the release of their next record, they have also released music through the likes of Burger Records and Third Man Records.

Singer/songwriter Micah P. Hinson will play his first US solo show in 10 years at The Foundry, July 15 at 7:30 PM.

Descended in part from the Native American Chickasaw tribe, Hinson's gospel-influenced, alt-country music is best described as "Folk Noir". Micah P. Hinson and the Gospel of Progress, his first album, was produced in 2004 by the Earlies, Micah's friends, collaborators and sometimes tour buddies (where they play as his backing band). In 2005, his earlier 4-track recordings were produced and released properly as an album under the title The Baby & the Satellite. Micah has toured with and opened for artists such as Will Oldham, Iron & Wine, David Gray and Calexico.

Micah P. Hinson and the Musicians of the Apocalypse's most recent album When I Shoot At You With Arrows, I Will Shoot To Destroy You was recorded in 24-hours. There are many in this world that do not believe in The Apocalypse. There are many in this world that do believe in The Apocalypse. Yet, even with this, many would easily agree that life is made up of many starts and stops, many deaths, many rebirths -- physically and spiritually. Hinson focuses on this concept in his vision of the inevitable way of the human condition.
