Gentleman Jesse Smith headlines the 7-inch release party for the “Where Time Stands Still” b/w “Return of the Mack” single due out in February 2024. This single is no. 12 in the ongoing Drunk Dial series, and features contributions from Greg King of GG King and Carbonas fame, as well as Ryan Bell of Bukkake Boys, Ryan Dinosaur, Scavenger of Death, et al.
For those who are unfamiliar, the Drunk Dial series invites artists to get drunk and write and record one original song and one cover of a classic tune in the same session. Both numbers will be released as a 7-inch. “Where Time Stands Still” is the Gentleman Jesse original. “Return of the Mack” is a cover of Mark Morrison’s song which appears on the 1996 album Return of the Mack. Pre-order the single here.
The Hypos, a new collaboration featuring veteran songwriters Greg Cartwright (Reigning Sound) and Scott McMicken (Dr. Dog), joined by some of Memphis and Asheville’s finest players (Evan Martin, Kevin Williams, and Krista Wroten) also perform. The almighty Subsonics open the show.
$15. 7:30 p.m. (doors). 8 p.m. (music).
