KID ROCK

SONNY BURGESS & THE LEGENDARY PACERS FedEx Stage • 2:10 p.m. Of all the artists to cut records at Sun in the 1950s, very few could match the raw, raucous energy and excitement captured on vinyl by Albert Austin “Sonny” Burgess and his band, the Legendary Pacers.

Bone thugs-n-harmony Bud Light Stage • 7:20 p.m. Cleveland’s thuggish-ruggish hip-hop supergroup Bone Thugs-N-Harmony know a thing or two about writing a hit. From the silky smooth voice of Krayzie Bone to the classic beats used on tracks like “Tha Crossroads” and “1st of tha TUPELO Month,” songs by Bone Thugs are usually recognizable within the first few seconds. Although the group saw the height of their fame in 1997 when they won multiple awards (including a Grammy for Best Rap Album) for their album E. 1999 Eternal, Bone Thugs have stayed active despite line-up changes, releasing six studio albums since the mid-’90s. memphisflyer.com tWenty one Pilots FedEx Stage • 8:15 p.m. Pure pop.

Despite the questionable of giving a child a harmonica, things worked out. Neal grew up in a home filled with legends: Harpo, , and Buddy Guy were family friends. It’s no wonder that decades later Neal has earned Grammy nominations and Handy Awards.

Joan Jett & the Blackhearts Orion Stage • 8:50 p.m. Joan Jett is a genuine rock legend. In 1975, she founded the Runaways, a pioneering, all-female rock band perched on the cusp of glam, metal, and punk. As a solo artist in the 1980s, she had chart-topping success with “I Love Rock ’n Roll,” “Bad Reputation,” and “I Hate Myself For Loving You.” Not only is she a feminist icon who has been portrayed onscreen by Kristen Stewart, but just a couple weeks ago, she sang “Smells Like Teen Spirit” with Nirvana at their Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction. That’s rock-and-roll. chick corea & the Vigil Bud Light Stage • 9:05 p.m. Giacosa Pl, Memphis, TN 38133 Currently on a tour of solo performances, Corea will perform with his band the Vigil. He’s had a Latin undercurrent in much of his jazz dating back to early gigs with 901.881.0808 percussion master Willie Bobo in the 1960s. Corea went on to epitomize the electric jazz of the late 1960s and ’70s. He is the definitive electric pianist in the jazz idiom and has remained on the vanguard of new sounds. His solo work and his collaborations with the groups Circle, Return To Forever, and the Elektric Band represent a wide range of . sts9 FedEx Stage • 9:50 p.m. are primarily a live act born of the festival circuit who are geared toward gigging over recording.

He is dede MayoMayo a Bay Area stalwart and one of the superstars of modern blues. Castro is a regular opener for B.B. King. His show is a high-energy electrical machine. Rather than looking to a throwback concept, Castro is content in his identity, giving the music a radio-rock feel. celebrationcelebration kid rock Orion Stage • 10:35 p.m. It’s not easy being a self-proclaimed “American badass,” but then again, not everybody can use a made-up word for a chorus and get a platinum-selling album out of it. Thus is the skill set of Kid Rock, who is equal parts trailer park hero, hip-hop outlaw, and country-music superstar. Kid Rock is the epitome of a renaissance man, and he’s got the chart-topping hits to prove it. With 11 albums under his belt and no sign of slowing down, it’s safe to assume the Cowboy from Michigan will be gracing our ears with hits Monday for quite some time.

Patti laBelle Bud Light Stage • 10:50 p.m. Beginning with the Bluebells’ “I Sold My Heart to the Junk Man,” LaBelle has carried May 5th one of the big guns of 20th-century diva soul. The early girl-group records are all about that huge, acrobatic voice. Go find the self-titled first record of her band, Labelle. Holy moly, it’s good. They opened for the Who and went on to own 1970s glam with “Lady Marmalade.” The ’80s? “New Attitude” was on the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack. She earned a Grammy in 1991. Her influence on the sound of female R&B vocals can’t be overstated. Her melismatic vocals set the style for the 1990s and beyond.

Live Music memphisflyer.com Fuzzy JeFFries Blues Shack • Times Vary Jeffries is a contemporary blues burner whose sound slips easily into classic R&B. His playing comes from the post-Hendrix world of Stevie Ray Vaughan, , and by Twin Soul to a lesser extent, Robert Cray. His band, the Kings of Memphis, bear the hallmarks of gospel and R&B experience, which rounds out the sound much better than a straight blues band would with this sort of music. leo Bud Welch Blues Shack • Times Vary Leo Bud Welch is the purest spring of good music to surface in a long time. He’s 81 years Sponsored by Bud Light, old and released his first album earlier this year. Sabougla Voices is a collection of gospel Rock 103 and Kiss 101.9 FM songs. Welch is a preacher in Bruce, Mississippi, where he also worked on logging crews. His message is delivered with all the hill country charm and power that has made the region’s secular blues so popular in recent decades. This is exciting and engaging gospel from a man who has been spreading the word since 1975. This is a festival highlight.

Black Joe lewis FedEx Stage • 3:35 p.m. Lewis continues to awe festivals and critics with his mix of punk and blues. He learned to play in a pawnshop, which is probably the coolest possible way to learn the guitar. His last album, Electric Slave, takes the Jon Spencer playbook into the Jack White age. It’s fuzzy, straight-ahead power sludge that is a natural habitat for Lewis’ feral shriek. It’s some of the best pure rock-and-roll to come out in this decade. If you invite comparisons to Roky Erickson, then congratulations on being great at music. Lewis also includes horns and — for the love of is good — a bass player.

Black stone cherry Orion Stage • 3:50 p.m. Black Stone Cherry are gearing up to release a new album, which is probably what brings the boys from Edmonton, Kentucky, down to Memphis.

But don’t look to the aforementioned bands if you’re trying to pin down the sound of Black Stone Cherry, as the band rides a groove best described as modern hard rock with a Southern twang. With songs about marijuana (“Me and Mary Jane”) and questionable lifestyles (“White Trash Millionaires”), Black Stone Cherry keep the subject matter light and the riffs heavy.

IUDs JASON ISBELL Bud Light Stage • 5:30 p.m. Would you be surprised if Jason Isbell was governor of Alabama one day? Here’s to that. Isbell has been on a tear since he dropped the bottle and his position in the Drive-By Truckers. Isbell is well into a slow-burn career that just keeps smoldering. He is the antidote to Nashville’s slavish adherence to commodity country. He bites harder lyrically, his voice is human (not auto-tuned), and his music can be replicated live. Where country CHO CES and its alt cousin seem caught up in mindless fun, drinking Bud and PBR, respectively, Memphis Center for Reproductive Health Isbell has elevated the dialog. It’s good to see someone take on the mantle of adulthood and keep making sincere music in such an artful way.
