Join Blue Élan Records for an incredible night of music, featuring performances by:
Soul Asylum
Soul Asylum is vocalist/guitarist Dave Pirner, drummer Michael Bland, lead guitarist Ryan Smith and bassist Winston Roye. The quartet will release 2020’s Hurry Up And Wait which reflects Soul Asylum’s usual eclectic approach: thrashing songs indebted to punk and classic rock, folk-influenced pop-rock, and gorgeous jangle-pop (lead single “If I Told You”). The band first achieved commercial breakthrough with 1992’s triple platinum Grave Dancers Union. That album spawned several international hits, including”Runaway Train”, which won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Song, and “Black Gold”, making Soul Asylum alternative radio and MTV staples.

Chelsea Williams
Singer-songwriter Chelsea Williams is looking set for a breakthrough year in 2020, after unveiling her new Americana-pop single “Red Flag”. Recorded this past fall with multi-instrumentalist and producer Ross Garren (Bon Iver, Ben Folds) and mixed by Grammy award-winning Dave Way (Phoebe Bridgers, Sheryl Crow), “Red Flag” perfectly spotlights Williams’ crystalline vocals. “Red Flag” picked up a recent feature on Apple Music’s Breaking Country and Pure Country Radio, and is the first single in a series of new music coming soon.

Rod Melancon
Rod Melancon's latest album Pinkville was recorded in a series of live takes in Adrian Quesada’s (Black Pumas) Austin-area Studio. Blurring the lines between roadhouse country-rock, Texas blues, Louisiana soul, and all points between, Melancon is steady on the rise after being a featured guest on NPR’s All Things Considered. An opener for Hayes Carll on his Fall 2019 tour, Rod’s music continues to reach new heights with recent airplay on KSUN and Austin’s very own KUTX. You can also find him on season two of the Austin Chronicle’s Q&A Hole.
