Rebels & Renegades w/ Chris Fullerton, Walt WIlkins, Jon Dee Graham, Curtis McMurtry, the Robert Kraft Trio, the McKay Brothers

Threadgill’s WHQ avoided developmental razing for now, so they’re thankfully packed with local songwriting talent. Chris Fullerton’s burning emotion and Hank Williams howl stamps 2017 debut Epilepsy Blues, while veteran troubadour Walt Wilkins slides his soft tenor under Streetlight. Jon Dee Graham provides the centerpiece in marking the 20th anniversary of solo debut Escape From Monster Island. Songwriting scion Curtis McMurtry’s lyrical bite, the Robert Kraft Trio’s righteously retro-R&B, and a closing McKay Brothers reunion also reverberate. – Doug Freeman
