David Lindley

Whenever the phrase “musician’s musician” gets tossed around, it’s easy to assume the the artist in question is likely to be unfamiliar to the general public. That’s the case with David Lindley, a longtime session player and sideman with Jackson Browne, Warren Zevon, Linda Ronstadt, Curtis Mayfield, James Taylor, David Crosby, Graham Nash, Terry Reid, Dolly Parton, Bob Dylan and ever more, plus he has had his own band, El Rayo X. Older music fans might remember Jackson Browne’s “Stay,” which featured Lindley singing the high falsetto part. Noted for playing “cheap” guitars, he is also a mega multi-instrumentalist and vocalist. He’s on tour and will be at Headliners on May 21. Tickets are $20.

Here’s him singing “Mercury Blues”:

Following a career littered with recognition and awards, Gauthier has a new recording, 2012’s Live at Blue Rock, featuring a mix of old and new songs. Scott Nolan will open. Tickets are only $15.

Scotty McCreery

Usually, gigs by country players at casinos are booked by oldtimers, looking to extend the string a bit and pad the bank account, while avoiding the rigors of full-blown (and risky) tours. Now, apparently, winners of American Idol have tapped into the casino circuit, or least, Scotty McCreery has, even though his first record, Clear As Day, was a charted big and helped him win in the ever-expanding country music awards race. For his second record, he went for a Christmas album, indicating that his path through country stardom, though traditional, would be compressed. He’ll be at Horseshoe Southern Indiana on May 17. Tickets range from $30 – $45.


His most popular video is “The Trouble With Girls”:
