Backed by triumphant windmilling riffs, squalls of feedback, and upward spirals of guitar noise, the Old 97s superbly combine various elements of rock, punk, classic country and pop to create a sound all their own. The 97s make their long awaited Burlington debut in support of their seventh and newest album Blame It On Gravity. Living legend Country Music Hall of Famer Charlie Louvin opens the show.

The term "living legend" gets thrown around quite a bit, but it actually applies to Country Music Hall of Famer Charlie Louvin.
The magical harmonies and depth of feeling found on Louvin Brothers recordings of the 50's and 60's inspired a new generation of musicians, firmly establishing the Louvins' stature as one of the most influential duos in country music history.
In 2006, the Tompkins Square label reached out to Charlie about making his first new studio album in over ten years. They enlisted Mark Nevers, who engineered sessions for many top country artists, and produced Calexico, Lambchop, Candi Staton among others. Guests on the album include Elvis Costello, George Jones, Jeff Tweedy, Will Oldham, Tom T. Hall, Tift Merritt, Marty Stuart, Bobby Bare Sr., David Kilgour, members of Bright Eyes, Lambchop, Clem Snide, Superchunk and more.
