Read full details
Willi Carlisle brings his Universal Bubba Tour to Valley Bar in Phoenix, showcasing material from his career-first double album of the same name. Produced by Tyler Childers, the album expands Carlisle's sonic palette with influences ranging from folk and Americana to Cajun, oldtime, and even funk and experimental music, captured in a makeshift home studio in New Orleans.
The show promises an energetic live experience, blending Carlisle's signature storytelling with new instrumentation like synthesizers and double electric guitars, alongside traditional fretless banjo. His songs document the stories and struggles of everyday people, balancing humor and hope, with anthems like "Gas Station" and "The Master's Hammer" highlighting the set.
With a DIY spirit and a mission to create universal folk music for all kinds of weirdos, Carlisle's performance is a celebration of the old weird America, inviting audiences to join in a sing-along chorus of life on the road and small-town hellraising.
