Review- Tanner Usrey: Crossing Lines

Derek Scudder

2023 has been a good year for Tanner Usrey. In addition to the hundreds of shows in clubs and on festival stages, he has racked up millions of all-important streams and unleashed a series of singles which are part of his debut full-length album, Crossing Lines, releasing November 17 on Atlantic Records. Since 2019, he’s been hard at work on his music career with the release of his Medicine Man EP. Two singles, each generating over 18 million Spotify streams, led to the SOL Sessions EP as part of being named “Emerging Artist” by the Peacemaker Music Festival in 2021. With over 180 shows in 2022, word continued to spread about the emerging star from Prosper, Texas.

Festival Review- Peacemaker: A Hot Time in Arkansas

Temperatures at or above 100 degrees at the end of July are not unheard of in Fort Smith,  but this year was not the best time for it to settle in. The annual Peacemaker Festival welcomes thousands of music fans to the banks of the Arkansas River at a beautiful park just below the Garrison Street Bridge. This was my 3rd time at the festival and I have always found it to be among the best of its size. The music lineup is always imaginative representing several genres and welcoming diverse fan bases. The VIP setup is ideal, offering an unobstructed area directly in front of the stage with a designated area for chairs, as well as upgraded restroom facilities, exclusive bar, and a chance to catch the artists at the backstage gate.
