Santa Fe, NM! Come out to Leaf & Hive on March 29th to see Kenny Roby and The So Lows for an evening of songs and stories! Music starts at 7pm. Bring your friends!About the Artists:
A songwriter’s songwriter, Kenny Roby has been called a master at his craft. On his latest self titled album—Roby’s seventh solo release to date—he’s joined by bassist Jeff Hill (Steve Earle, Rufus Wainwright), drummer Tony Leone (Little Feat, Chris Robinson Brotherhood) and guitarist Daniel Littleton (Amy Helm, Michael Hurley). Tracked at Applehead Recording in Woodstock, NY, the core band is augmented with special guests, including the legendary Lovin’ Spoonful frontman John Sebastian on harmonica, Amy Helm and Dori Freeman on background vocals and former Bob Dylan keyboardist/accordion player Brian Mitchell. The resulting collection is full of depth and darkness, but most importantly hope. Its songs are inhabited by a cast of fully human characters and their timeless stories, while sonically the recording reflects Roby’s new home in upstate New York, touching on the spirit of previous artists who once roamed the the Catskill Mountains like The Band, Bobby Charles and Tim Hardin.
A native of the Carolinas, Kenny Roby was originally known for fronting 6 String Drag, pioneers in the Alt-Country and Americana music movements of the '90s. The band was produced by roots music godfather Steve Earle and signed to his E-Squared Records. Since 6 String Drag’s breakup in 1998, Roby has released 6 solo records as well as a live duo record with Neal Casal. Casal was slated to produce Roby’s previous 2020 solo album ‘The Reservoir’ before he unexpectedly passed away in August 2019. Dave Schools of Widespread Panic then took over production duties. Roby would later record Casal’s “Too Much To Ask” on the 41 song box set tribute ‘Highway Butterfly: The Songs Of Neal Casal.’
Kenny Roby has been praised by numerous songwriting peers, including Michael Hurley, Citizen Cope and Ryan Adams. He’s garnered critical acclaim in Billboard, Rolling Stone, No Depression and Boston Globe, while having shared stages with a plethora of well-known artists in and out of the roots music community.

Hailing from the high deserts of New Mexico, The So Lows unique sound draws inspiration from a deep connection to the land of the American Southwest and their love of roots music. The So Lows are led by songwriting duo Molly Miller and Ronnie Rael. Their songwriting approach is akin to going sonic fishing; feeling a tug on the line and reeling words and sounds in to express the biting energy, which often draws on introspection but sometimes feels to originate from a transcendent muse. The resulting lyrics and songs reflect an interest in both the personal and collective human experience, often leaning in to a cosmic perspective. The band’s release, ‘Times Not So Weathered’ (October 7, 2021), is the first to feature Troy Krusz on slide and lead guitars. The sophomore effort is a follow up to the band’s debut album, ‘Alto’ (2018), which saw US and international radio play and received an enthusiastic reception from listeners. The band has performed in cities across the US; their live shows are energetic, fun and emotive. With each performance The So Lows continue to garner new fans as they express their experiences through music.
