About this concert
The king of swamp stomp, Iron Mike Norton joins forces with American rock/alt-country artist, Jerry Castle for the hottest roots rock tour of the summer. General admission; 21+. About Iron Mike Norton: The king of swamp stomp, roots rock recording artist and producer Iron Mike Norton is described by peers and critics as one of the most innovative and creative artists in the genre. Iron Mike combines elements of modern styles like hip hop, rock and techno with traditional hill country slide guitar blues. The result is a sound truly unique to Iron Mike alone. Based out of the swamps of Florida, Iron Mike has performed for audiences in both the USA and abroad. His ability to cross over into other formats has garnered him the opportunity to work with top artists from not only blues, but artists such as Willie Nelson, and his mentor, Sonny Landreth. About Jerry Castle: Jerry Castle's 2018 song, "Lil Bit" was named one of 10 Best Country and Americana songs of the week by Rolling Stone Country. "Castle delivers one of the most instantly catchy- and danceable - songs of this year." - Rolling Stone Country Working in his newly-rigged home studio, Castle spent seven months crafting Brand New Hello, a self-produced album that merges his sharp singer/songwriter roots with upbeat tempos, layered arrangements, pop melodies, and rock & roll muscle. It's a bright album for cloudy times, filled with a sense of buoyancy — an anthemic synthesizer here, a four-on-the-floor drumbeat there — that emphasizes hope and renewal over sorrow. The most modern-sounding project in his catalog, Brand New Hello fires twin barrels of political insight and poppy punch, influenced by everything from America's social climate to the Top 40 music his daughter would play in the car during the album's creation process.
