Son Volt

The St. Augustine Amphitheatre welcomes seminal alt-country band Son Volt to their Backyard Stage for a live concert on Friday, November 17, 2017.

Son Volt was instrumental in launching the alt-country music movement in the 1990s. With singer-songwriter Jay Farrar leading the way and the 1995 release of their album Trace, Son Volt was a pioneer in the new genre that ultimately led to Americana music.

Jay Farrar's voice is unforgettable, and his songs are fascinating snapshots of American life. With his first band, Uncle Tupelo, Farrar released the influential song "No Depression" along with an album of the same name. The magazine No Depression followed, which is now known as "the journal of roots music."

The genre may be called alt-country, roots rock, Americana, insurgent country, or even just rock 'n' roll, but the music transcends trends and labels, as Son Volt's most recent album Notes of Blue demonstrates beautifully.

The concert is presented in partnership with Flying Saucer Presents and Ancient City Brewing.
