Audiences are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs and enjoy the music in a relaxed\, open-air setting. Each show begins at 6:00 p.m.\, so be sure to arrive early to secure your spot and soak in the fes tive atmosphere!\n\nAngela Perley makes music for roadtrips across the Ame rican heartland. Rooted in cosmic alt-country\, roadhouse rock &\; roll \, witchy-woman psychedelia\, and amplified Americana\, it’s a vintage s ound for the modern world\, glued together by a singer/songwriter who’s played everything from dive bars to arenas.\n\nWith Turn Me Loose\, she le ans into the rootsy textures that have always underscored her music. Laced with pedal steel\, Telecaster twang\, and Gibson grit\, the album embrace s the grey areas between genre and generation\, with Perley breathing new life into her 1960s and ’70s influences. Recorded in her native Ohio\, T urn Me Loose finds Perley building a dreamy world of her own\, writing sha rply-detailed songs filled with small towns\, big cities\, and foggy night s pierced by her car’s high-beams.\n\n“Plug me in\, turn me loose\,” she sings during the album’s opening track\, which unfolds like a missi on statement from a road warrior who’s hungry to hit the highway again. Turn Me Loose hits cruising speed with “Star Dreamer\,” whose chorus o f sha la la la‘s nods to the kaleidoscopic swoon of the British Invasion \, then reaches a gallop with “Ripple\,” a country-western track that trades Perley‘s midwestern roots for southern stomp. “Here For You” is a personal pep talk — a love song to oneself\, peppered with greasy\, Rolling Stones-worthy guitar — while “Praying For Daylight” and “ Wreck Me” conjure up images of Texas dancehalls at closing time\, when t he dust from the floorboards turn slow circles in the stage lights. Togeth er\, these songs turn Turn Me Loose into a soundtrack for the road less tr aveled\, with Perley behind the wheel.\n\nBefore she shared shows with hea vyweights like Willie Nelson and Lucinda Williams\, Perley launched her ca reer as the frontwoman of Angela Perley and the Howlin’ Moons. The group debuted with 2014’s Hey Kid — an underground hit not only in America\ , but also overseas\, where the album peaked at Number 6 on the EuroAmeric ana chart — and returned with 2016’s Homemade Vision\, whose lead sing le “Electric Flame” became an FM radio hit. Perley continued the momen tum with 4:30\, her debut as a solo artist. Produced by pedal steel guitar ist Brandon Bankes\, Turn Me Loose marks the continuation of that acclaime d solo career\, featuring contributions from her Howlin’ Moons bandmate\ , Chris Connor\, as well as a new band of road-worn roots-rockers.\n\nPrai sed by No Depression for “laying down an interesting mix of folk\, Ameri cana\, and ’60s-tinged psychedelic rock that floats seamlessly between B ob Dylan and Procol Harum\, sometimes within the same song\,” Angela Per ley has spent a decade building her audience the old-school way. She’s a tireless traveler chasing down her own horizon\, steadily graduating from local gigs in her hometown of Columbus\, Ohio\, to national shows alongsi de bands like Caamp. She’s a modern-day gypsy in platform boots. A tirel ess songwriter bringing the gap between personal insight and universal sen timent. And with her newest album\, she’s at the top of her game\, turni ng the highs and lows of an adulthood logged on the road into an album bui lt for speed.\n\nTurn her loose\, indeed.
