Drivin’ N Cryin’

Two alt-country bands team up for this double bill, including one with deep Milwaukee ties: Drivin’ N Cryin’, the Atlanta group formed by Brew City native Kevn Kinney. After slowing down in the 2000s as Kinney focusd on his solo career, the band returned strong with 2009’s The Great American Bubble Factory, a heated set of punk-accented Southern rock that they followed with a series of four EPs, the latest of which was 2014’s Songs For The Turntable. For this show they’re joined by their Arizona kindred spirits Supersuckers, who put their own distinctly punk spin on country conventions. During their career, they formed an unlikely creative partnership with one of country’s greats: Willie Nelson, who they once backed on “The Tonight Show.” In turn, Nelson did a guest stint on the title track of the Supersuckers’ Must've Been High, perhaps the most traditionally country-minded of all the group’s albums. Their recent releases, including 2015’s Holdin’ The Bag, have been some of the loudest and most revved-up of their career.
