Chris Knight / Pistol Hill + Chance Stanley at Martin’s Downtown, Jackson, MS

 Tickets: $20.00 | 18+ (under 18 must be accompanied by a legal guardian)

For the past 20 years, Chris Knight has only made music his own way. He’s released eight acclaimed albums, played thousands of electrifying live shows and built generations of fervent fans from Texas honky-tonks to Manhattan rock clubs. He’s been hailed as “the last of a dying breed…a taciturn loner with an acoustic guitar and a college degree” (The New York Times), and “a storyteller in the best traditions of Mellencamp and Springsteen” (USA Today). Bottom line, he’s hard-earned his reputation as one of America’s most uncompromising and respected singer/songwriters of his time. And now with his newly released album, Almost Daylight, Knight delivers the most powerful – and unexpected – music of his career. It’s an album both tough and tender, as bare-knuckled as it is open-hearted. Produced, mixed and mastered by Grammy-winner Ray Kennedy – best-known for his 30+ year creative partnership with Steve Earle as well as producing Chris’ Enough Rope (2006),Trailer II (2009) and Little Victories (2012) albums – Almost Daylight also sounds like no other Knight record, with scorching guitars by Georgia Satellites founder and two-time Knight album producer Dan Baird, rich background vocals by Chris Clark, Siobhan Kennedy and Lee Ann Womack, and deeper instrumentation than ever before. Come hear it out at Martin’s Downtown, December 3rd starting at 10pm!
