Taylor Hollingsworth: Live at The Lyric
Birmingham, Alabama's Taylor Hollingsworth has always resisted easy categorization. Asked to define his music, he struggled – a little bit folk, a touch of blues, a dash of rock 'n' roll, but not quite fitting neatly into any single box. Eventually, he coined the phrase “Folk n’ Roll” to describe his sound. Now, he's proudly claiming that sound with his latest album, aptly titled "Folk n' Roll." Fans of JJ Cale, Mississippi John Hurt, Chuck Berry, Richard Thompson, Jonathan Richman, and John Prine will find much delight in Hollingsworth's blend of timeless influences.
For much of the early aughts, Hollingsworth toured extensively with his punk-tinged rock band (think Ramones meets Chuck Berry meets ZZ Top) and worked as a hired gun playing guitar with various artists on the road (most notably with Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band). However, following the birth of his daughter, he took a hiatus from touring to dedicate himself to his family and cultivate his craft as a full-time local musician in Birmingham, AL. During this time, he honed his skills through countless monthly residencies at bars and restaurants, playing everything from laid-back brunch sets to raucous late-night clubs. It was during this time that he perfected his captivating one-man show, now dubbed "Folk n' Roll." After years of refining his act for local crowds, Hollingsworth began working with longtime friend and former bandmate Matt Patton (Drive by Truckers/Dexateens/Laura Jane Grace) who owns and operates Dial Back Sound, a studio and record label based out of Water Valley, MS. After recording and releasing his last album “Yahola” with Dial Back Sound, Hollingsworth found himself hitting the road once again, armed with his new solo one-man show. His performances are a sight to behold - finger-picked electric guitar, a mic'd up foot stomp box providing the rhythmic backbone, and occasionally the addition of a looper pedal to layer in guitar solos, all while delivering his signature storytelling lyrics. Audiences are consistently blown away by the unexpectedly big sound he creates, with many proclaiming it to be one of the best shows they've ever seen.
Since the release of “Yahola,” Hollingsworth has been a road warrior, touring with a wide stylistic range of artists including Laura Jane Grace, Jake Xerxes Fussell, Dash Rip Rock, and Har Mar Superstar, while also headlining his own shows across the United States.
He continues to captivate crowds with his raw talent, quick fingers, and well-crafted lyrical compositions. Hollingsworth's dedication to his craft has earned him widespread recognition. His songs have been featured in popular TV shows, podcasts, and films, and covered by artists Conor Oberst and Phoebe Bridgers in their project Better Oblivion Community Center. Most recently, he's been named the "Winner," in the prestigious International Songwriting Competition, taking 1st place in the Americana Genre.
In addition to his solo work, Hollingsworth is a founding member of Dead Fingers (a folk-rock duo with wife Kate Hollingsworth) whose song "Ring Around Saturn" has amassed over 3 million streams worldwide. He also penned “Inside Out,” and “She Still Shouts,” for his rock 'n' roll band, The Blips, both of which were crowned “Coolest Song in the World” on Little Steven's Underground Garage. Taylor also performed this year at the prestigious Newport Folk Festival and appeared in the festival’s 2026 promotional film, “Sea to Shining Sea.”
With "Folk n' Roll," Taylor Hollingsworth invites you to join him on the next phase of his unique musical journey. Don’t miss this chance to hear a regional legend live and in person at The Lyric!

Adam Hood: Live at The Lyric
The tapestry of Southern music in America is rich, vivid, and diverse, and Adam Hood is an artist who embodies this substantial musical lineage each time he straps on his Telecaster or picks up his pen. Rooted in his Opelika, Alabama upbringing, Hood’s musicality and soul stirring lyrics are guided by the wisdom earned from thousands of miles spent on the road chasing musical adventures from coast to coast.
Adam Hood’s deep yearning to share his take on country music has led him to craft a sound uniquely his own, what he calls “Southern songs.” It’s a soulful and profound version of the genre that blends elements of assorted styles, reflecting the authenticity of Southern culture and the way he grew up. “It’s Southern music,” Hood relates. “The soulful side of Southern music, the country side of Southern music, the genuineness of Southern culture, it’s what I’ve always done.”
Though Hood initially made waves as a performer, it’s his songwriting that has truly set him apart over the past decade. An impressive roster of artists, including Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town, Whiskey Myers, Cody Jinks, Travis Tritt, and Riley Green, have recorded Hood’s songs, adding a new layer to his formidable career. Yet, his own recorded and touring output remains a vital part of the broader country music landscape.
Hood’s 2022 album Bad Days Better was recorded at the famed Capricorn Studios in Macon, Georgia, with Brent Cobb at the helm. The historic studio’s halls, once inhabited by legends like Otis Redding, The Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker Band, and Charlie Daniels, helped Cobb and Hood guide this project. Released independently by Hood, Bad Days Better weaves his present day among the echoes of his heroes and biggest influences, creating a sound, style, and moment that is all his own.
The album features an exceptional cast of collaborators, including Brit Turner, Richard Turner, and Charlie Starr of Blackberry Smoke, with background vocals singularly provided by Miranda Lambert. This deeply personal collection of songs reflects Hood’s journey through life’s hills and valleys, with lyrics that are raw, honest, and vulnerable. “I speak more than I want to sometimes,” he admits. “It makes me nervous to play it because I know it’s a vulnerable moment.” But it’s this vulnerability that adds another layer to the Southern musical story Hood continues to write.
Following the Bad Days Better album, Hood released his most recent album, Different Groove, produced by Gordy Quist at The Finishing School in Austin, Texas. This album further solidified his reputation as a versatile artist who can seamlessly blend various Southern sounds into a cohesive and compelling narrative.
In 2024, Hood teamed up with Brent Cobb yet again to release four digital singles: “Beat That Train,” “Bills in Alabama,” “Here to Tell Ya,” and “Stage Lights.” These songs showcase his dynamic storytelling and his ability to connect with audiences through vivid, heartfelt lyrics and authentic Southern soundscapes.
Adding to his list of accomplishments, Adam Hood celebrated his first #1 in Texas with “Can’t Stand Leavin’,” and in October 2022, he made his Grand Ole Opry debut, a milestone that
underscores his growing influence in the country music world. He has also recently recorded songs with Ella Langley and Miranda Lambert, showcasing his ability to collaborate with some of the industry's top talents.
Adam Hood will always be found where there’s a stage, sharing his version of country music. The essence, emotion, spirit, and institution of Southern music reside in Hood’s soul. He will continue to write, perform, and share that mastery with his audience for years to come. “Music should get under your skin and make you think and make you feel,” he exclaims. “Some people get what I’m saying, some don’t. I want to say what I feel and hope others feel the same way.”

Gypsy Cornbread: Live at The Lyric
Gypsy Cornbread is the kind of jazz band you rarely stumble across on a Friday night in the middle of Alabama, maybe even anywhere in the Southeast. Inspired by the music of Django Reinhardt and the Parisian jazz clubs of the 1930s, the band brings the spirit of gypsy jazz to life with a sound that feels timeless, cinematic, and transportive.
The music creates a mood unlike anything else, conjuring images of a dimly lit café on a cool evening somewhere in old-world Europe. At times intimate and sultry, then suddenly fiery, aggressive, and intense, Gypsy Cornbread moves effortlessly between beauty, tension, romance, and raw energy. It’s not just a performance, it’s an atmosphere, a feeling, and an experience.
