Matt Heckler

The Filling Station hosts a bill featuring Matt Heckler with Shawn Hess. Heckler is a solo multi-instrumentalist whose sound resists easy labels, drawing from the shadowed corners of Appalachian traditions and early bluegrass, then drifting into the lilt of Eastern European folk and the hush of Irish barroom ballads. Years spent on the road with acts like Devil Makes Three, Lost Dog Street Band, and Flogging Molly shaped his live fire, and a later pause led him to build Blood, Water, Coal at home, layering fiddle, banjo, and guitar while keeping the grit of the stage. Jeff Loops of Lost Dog Street Band added upright bass and harmonies. That release followed After The Flood and arrived alongside The Magnolia Sessions, the first entry in a series that became popular, which reached #9 on the Bluegrass Billboard Charts. Blood, Water, Coal debuted at #3, giving him two records on the charts at the same time. He went on to back This Town Is Killin Me with a national run that showcased his rowdy solo set, and he has a new album in progress. Shawn Hess rounds out the night with songs rooted in classic western and folk traditions, carried by a modern ear for storytelling and rhyme, a voice that feels pulled from a western noir.

Coleman Jennings at the Empire Theatre

Coleman Jennings brings a richly textured voice and a love for classic Western twang, weaving tradition with a sound that is distinctly his own. The Texas-born Big Loud/Mercury singer and songwriter draws on influences that range from John Denver and Bob Dylan to Townes Van Zandt, The Eagles, Blaze Foley, John Hartford, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. His deep connection to the craft took hold when he immersed himself in guitar during high school, sparked by the unvarnished storytelling of Blaze Foley and an anti-establishment spirit that continues to fuel his writing. His 2024 EP Wildflowers & Tears showcased a modern yet timeless approach and earned nods to icons like Willie Nelson and Townes Van Zandt. Now, working with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb, he highlights that originality with the debut single Head Spinning, capturing a country folk pulse that sets his work apart.

Hailing from Concan, Texas, The Droptines are an alternative country group formed in 2019 by frontman, songwriter, and musician Conner Arthur, known as The King of Concan. They blend a variety of styles and lace their songs with the language of the Texas Hill Country, creating a wide span of genuine, flexible melodies. Arthur’s warm, resonant vocals and detailed lyricism power storytelling that ranges from faith-tinged reflection and unvarnished honesty to big questions about existence, where literary flair meets everyday grit. Their catalog shows that breadth, moving from the driving New Girl to the aching As Your Heart Breaks to the lush Raining Where You Are, all delivered with a stage presence that is approachable and captivating. Peers echo that strength, with David Beck highlighting Arthur’s sharp wit, visceral writing, and steady instinct for melody, while William Beckmann points to imagery and emotion that linger long after the music fades. The band’s name nods to its roots. A droptine is a rare antler that curves downward on a whitetail deer, a fitting symbol for the environment and upbringing that shaped the group.
