Kevin Daniel & The Bottom Line
Seph Custer & The Flatbreaks

Free show

We are thrilled to be one of the five stages that will be offering exceptional live music as part of Floyd Americana Fest on September 16!

Please join us at Dogtown from 6-11pm for TWO awesome acts!

6-8pm Opening Act: Seph Custer & The Flatbreaks:
guarantee you a unique experience for one simple fact: They don’t use a set list! With a scaled-down combination of guitar, bass, and drum set, the band has the flexibility and freedom to reach into a variety of genres and techniques. Bridges will be made from rock, to alternative, to funk, blues, soul, pop; then, through all of them again, backwards.

8-11pm Main Act: Kevin Daniel & The Bottom Line:
A dynamic performer, playing 100-150 shows per year, Kevin Daniel’s music has been described as “radio and TV ready with enough darkness creeping in around the edges to appeal to fans of Jason Isbell & Langhorne Slim.” On his two early EPs, his 2019 debut album Things I Don’t See, and his 2021 follow-up, Been Here Before, Daniel showcases a masterful ability as a songwriter to seamlessly incorporate bits of rock, soul, country, blues, roots and Appalachia into thoughtful examination of pain and awakenings, visceral and spiritual. A big-voiced crooner with a heart of gold, Kevin strikes a chord with “his raw and soulful, Chris Stapleton-esque timbre.” [Music Connection] His next release, ‘The Life & Adventures of Kevin Daniel’ will be out May 2023 on Organic Records.
