Bobby Bare Jr., The Gasoline Brothers, Boo Ray


The son of country royalty, Nashville’s Bobby Bare Jr. has made his own way in the world of roots music with a solid string of wide-ranging, rock-influenced recordings, the latest of which is 2014’s triumphant Bloodshot LP, Undefeated. Whether flying solo or performing with his Young Criminals Starvation League group, Bare the Younger’s witty, wizened songwriting shines brightly through. The hard-touring musician returns to Athens this weekend. Shit-kicking Atlanta country-rockers the Gasoline Brothers join Bare on Saturday’s bill, which is rounded out by itinerant Americana troubadour Boo Ray.
