Powerful and excellent

Venue
In 2019, Arlo McKinley played a show at the High Watt in Nashville. While he had years of such gigs on the DIY singer-songwriter circuit behind him, this night was different. In the audience was one of his musical heroes, John Prine. When they met briefly beforehand, Prine, who never gave praise lightly, told Arlo he was a fan.
McKinley recalls, “Just that moment, if that's where it ended, it would've been one of the coolest things that ever happened to me, something I remembered forever.”
But it didn't end there. Shortly after, he was signed to Oh Boy Records, Prine's indie label. Arlo came into 2020 with the momentum of a new album on deck - his first with a producer and a street team - and an international tour booked. Then things took a strange turn.
“Right before the record came out, my mother passed away,” he says. “She had always supported me and she didn't get to see this stuff happen for me. Then one of my best friends died shortly after. And I lost two other friends to drug addiction. I was trying to navigate through all the emotions of that.”
And of course, like all musicians that year, he couldn't tour.
Arlo's show was amazing. He's definitely an undiscovered gem (so far) and is clearly destined for much bigger venues and accolades in the very near future.
This band never disappoints. The lead singer is a great performer and very nice to his fans. He is a man of the people!
Drove 5 hours from Tn to spend new years with my Aunt and Uncle at the Arlo show! Had an absolute blast. Got introduced to some really good bands and git to meet the famous tripping hippy! Such a memorable night shared with my favorite people!
Bogarts is a grest intimate venue to get raw and up close experience with the bands!!
Good Looks and Arlo McKinley were great! Good crowd and good interaction within the band and with the crowd which always makes a show better. Thank you to all these talented musicians!
Arlo McKinley and his band were amazing and put on one hell of a show. The HOB Voodoo Room, is a cool, intimate venue for live music. Don't miss seeing Arlo McKinley when he comes to town. A extraordinarily talented singer/songwriter. You're in for an outstanding evening of live music.
Arlo is amazing the venue was great, Buffalo Wabs was amazing as well!
Just an awesome night with some really great acts to watch. Arlo, Jeremy and Nolan were all so great! Can't wait for the next show
Grayson Jenkins was so awesone . We love Arlo McKinley and the Lonesome Sound , they are the best . ??
Absolutely love Arlo's sound. The small venue is terrible. Unless you are squeezed in front of the stage..the sound quality is bad. This is the second time I have attended a music event in this small area... Never again. The barmaid is the rudest individual who ruined her chances for good tips.... NOPE!
