Unhand The Monster: Troubadours Live!

Tony Harrah - from Nitro, West Virginia - brings his sad songs down to Cedar Street Social Club in Mobile, AL and partners up with local bluegrass legends Phil and Foster (Phil Proctor/Stan Foster). Together, they discuss the rising generation of songwriters and the pitfalls and advantages they might be facing. Hosts Ferrill Gibbs & Abe Partridge.

With Abe’s family involved in a car accident the night before the show, Mobile songwriters Harrison McInnis, Brandon Laine Coleman, and Drew Nix converge on Cedar Street Social Club in Downtown Mobile to form a panel around Atlanta artist Nathan Evans Fox. Suddenly, the show is transformed into an inspired "round" that churns out a myriad of killer musical performances, as well as a stream of provocative and often insightful discussions covering topics such as the effects of Napster, the Super Bowl Halftime Show, and giving up comfort and love for the dream of pursuing music...

James Mullis followed his sister’s lead: he got out of the small town in which he was born and raised - Luverne, Alabama - where his music was not really accepted. Once reestablished in the big city (of Birmingham, Alabama), he was quickly joined by upright bassist Adrian Marmolejo: a jovial, rollicking instrumentalist who tracked James down after hearing him interviewed by Esther Ciammachilli on Birmingham Public Radio. The duo - called Early James and the Latest - sits with Ferrill and Abe to tell their whole story, LIVE, at The Listening Room in Downtown Mobile.

Revered Mobilians Ross Newell (of The Mulligan Brothers) and Eric Erdman join co-hosts Ferrill Gibbs and Abraham Partridge for a brand new live series called Unhand The Monster: Troubadours Live! Discover which guitars the two performers would choose to carry out of a burning building (and why), and hear them skillfully maneuver Ferrill through a harrowing garage band audition...
