The season at Crossroads KC at Grinders kicks off with an evening of Southern blues and rock. Shooter Jennings, son of Waylon, dabbled in conceptual prog on 2010’s
Black Ribbons, but his latest,
Family Man, is a more conventional down-home country record. Opener Cody Canada is the frontman of hard-touring Skynyrd acolytes Cross Canadian Ragweed (currently on hiatus). Uncle Lucius, an Austin quartet, owes more than a little debt to the Black Crowes.
