There is a ferocious Southern engine inside of Billy Allen + The Pollies’ debut album Black Noise. It thrums to life atop a classic rock chassis and expertly weaves in and out of gospel, grunge, funk and soul along its eleven-song journey. From the explosive top of the album (a liberating anthem of self-worth called “All of Me”) to the spiritually haunting final track (the wurlitzer fueled “Go on Without Them”) Black Noise is a genre-defiant haymaker that lands.The band is a hybrid of four piece rock outfit The Pollies and fellow Alabamian, and frontman, Billy Allen.

Join us for a FREE, family-friendly evening combining culture, rhythm, and southern charm at the Argenta Vibe Music Series—proudly presented in partnership with the ACANSA Arts Festival of the South! In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re excited to bring you TWO incredible performances this month by Pura Coco and Larry & Joe!

Pura Coco is an alternative R&B and soul artist who blends the grit and soul of her NYC upbringing with the warmth and rhythm of her Southern influence. She’ll perform backed by her full band and DJ Raquel. But before she takes the stage you’ll get to hear from Larry & Joe, the Grammy-nominated “latingrass” duo. Both men are versatile multi-instrumentalists and singer-songwriters on a mission to show that music has no borders. As a duo they perform a fusion of Venezuelan and Appalachian folk music on harp, banjo, cuatro, fiddle, maracas, guitar, upright bass, and whatever else they decide to throw in the van.
