Willi Carlisle - The Universal Bubba Tour

Willi Carlisle brings his "Universal Bubba Tour" to Skully's Music Diner for an evening of folk music with a twist. Doors open at 7:00 PM, with the show starting at 8:00 PM. This is an all-ages event, making it accessible for families interested in live music. Carlisle's latest album, also called "The Universal Bubba," marks his sixth release and was produced by Tyler Childers, recorded in a makeshift New Orleans studio over two weeks. Carlisle describes his new sound as a wide-ranging exploration that blends folk traditions with unexpected influences—think funk, Americana, Cajun, and even experimental elements. You'll hear synthesizers and electric guitars alongside banjos and harmonicas, creating something genuinely different from typical folk fare. His songwriting stays true to folk music's roots: documenting real people's stories while mixing humor with hope. Tickets went on sale to the general public in mid-July, with early access options available for artists and local supporters.
