The duo will play The Viper Room
Fresh off their live performance debut this past Sunday at The Rainbow Bar & Grill’s 50th Anniversary celebration, Sometimes Y, the dynamic new rock collaboration from superstars Yelawolf and Shooter Jennings, has announced their first-ever headlining show for Sunday, May 8th at The Viper Room in Los Angeles. The free show will have first come, first serve entry, with doors opening at 7 pm.
“When we heard The Viper Room could be closing soon, there was no fuckin’ way we weren’t gonna do a show there before they shut the door,” says Yelawolf. “We just played our first show together ever at The Rainbow and we wanted to pay our respects to another legendary stage on the Sunset Strip. So Sometimes Y will be doing a free show on May 8th at The Viper Room in Los Angeles!!”
Produced by two-time GRAMMY Award winner Jennings and recorded at LA’s famed Sunset Sound Studios, the 10-track collection – available via Yelawolf’s label Slumerican – features the singles “Make Me A Believer,” “Rock & Roll Baby,” “Jump Out The Window” and “Radio.” Collectively, the official music videos for Sometimes Y have accumulated more than nine million views. The songs from the self-titled project — which have drawn comparisons to everyone from The Killers, Kings of Leon and The Strokes to Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and Arcade Fire — have been featured on a variety of key playlists across DSPs, including Spotify’s Pure Rock & Roll, New Noise, All New Rock and It’s Alt Good, Apple Music’s New In Rock and New Music Daily, Amazon’s Rock Arena and Fresh Rock, and YouTube Music’s Maximum Decibels, and are receiving support from alternative radio stations across the country as well as SiriusXM Alt Nation’s Advanced Placement.
Featuring Yelawolf as the invigorating front man and Jennings on synthesizer, piano, and acoustic guitar, Sometimes Y is rounded out with Jamie Douglass (drums), Ted Russell Kamp (bass, banjo, acoustic guitar), and John Schreffler (guitars, pedal steel).
On paper, hip hop superstar Yelawolf and Jennings, one of the Americana world’s most sought-after producers and songwriters, might not seem like the most obvious combination. But after listening to their collaboration as Sometimes Y, you’ll quickly come to understand that their chemistry, built from a decades-long plus friendship, is in fact as intoxicating as it is unexpected.
