SUMMARY:Deep Roots 2026 Summer Series - Tony Boyd @ Backdraft
DESCRIPTION:There are two sides to Tony Boyd – the mellow guitarist/vocalist with a deep sense of time and place in heartfelt lyrics\, and the bluesy rocker who plays the harmonica with raucous abandon. As the former\, his sound has been described as “soothing” or even “haunting\,” and is inspired by artists like Guy Clark\, whose songwriting sensibilities measure up to true art. As the latter\, it’s a sound that doesn’t need words to communicate clearly. As both\, Boyd is drawn to music that describes the human condition\, expresses a variety of emotions\, and is deeply therapeutic. \nBoyd is one of those artists who plays music that definitely sounds good as the backing track to a crowded bar\, but is an even greater treasure when you listen closely. Tony Boyd invites you to take a seat\, have a drink\, and let his laid-back tribute to Americana transport you.

SUMMARY:Deep Roots 2026 Summer Series - Guitar Frenchie @ Staple Food & Drink
DESCRIPTION:This hot-shot southpaw guitarist from Nimes\, France\, funded his move to the States by selling his Gibson Les Paul guitar. He’s forged through a rough-and-tumble 20 years\, from jamming with blues legends to playing for hire. “I grew up on all American music — Rock ’n’ Roll and Blues — but back when I was playing in France I felt somewhat like a copycat\,” Frenchie says. “But as soon as I landed in the U.S. I felt at home\, because this was where the music I loved was born.” Although he’s played with many greats over the years\, Frenchie says “the highlight of my musical career was becoming a U.S. citizen” in August 2016.  \nAmerica has inspired Kevin “Frenchie” Sciou to follow his own path. From his humble beginnings to the sophomore release of his Frenchie’s Blues Destroyers album Praise: He defiantly beat the odds in his pursuit of the American Dream.”

SUMMARY:Deep Roots 2026 Summer Series - Mike Slaton @ Bar Fontaine
DESCRIPTION:Mike Slaton starting picking and singing after his parents snuck him backstage on his fifth birthday to meet Willie Nelson after a concert in Shreveport\, Louisiana.  He immediately got ‘bit’ by the ‘music bug’ and gave his first live performance at his kindergarten talent show\, singing “On The Road Again.” \nBorn and raised in Greenville\, Mississippi\, Slaton lived in Nashville five years before moving to North Carolina to write and perform while working as an organic farmer. He moved back home to Greenville to be close to family and the ‘long\, dark\, complex memory of the Delta that inspires me and feeds my soul.’ \nHis warm and poetic songs are influenced by meaningful experiences with his family and friends in the here and now and the memories of ancestors left behind and fall comfortably in the musical realm of Townes Van Zandt\, John Prine\, Steve Earle and Gillian Welch. \nSlaton has released multiple solo acoustic recordings of his original songs\, along with a six-song EP recorded with his band The Wheels in Wilmington\, North Carolina. He has opened for the Avett Brothers\, Lucero\, Chatham County Line\, Col. Bruce Hampton\, Cary Hudson\, and T-Model Ford. \nCurrently\, Mike Slaton is focusing on writing and completing songs to record and release a record inspired by his home state of Mississippi.

SUMMARY:Deep Roots 2026 Summer Series - Delta String Band @ Backdraft
DESCRIPTION:Roots musicians Charles Sullivan and Cody Ruth are members of the Delta String Band\, an Americana band based out of Greenville\, Mississippi. Similar to what the band presents\, Charles and Cody sing a variety of styles\, from folk and bluegrass to straight-up country. With influences like bluegrass great Ralph Stanley\, folk master John Prine\, pure country kings Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings\, and even genre-fusing groups like the Grateful Dead\, this duo brings their own flavor to the music they plays\, and that “old school way” means playing music in its truest\, purest\, stripped-down form.
