Premiere | The Flycatchers: The Ledge

Today we’re premiering the new single, “The Ledge” from Oklahoma City based band, The Flycatchers. If you’re wondering if this is the same band as Chris Jones & The Flycatchers, it is, in a way. As it did for many of us, the pandemic forced some changes for the band, as it lost members and ultimately fell apart, shows were canceled and Chris found himself back to square one and rebuilding from the bottom. The name has changed, but it’s still featuring a superb line-up of incredibly talented musicians, including Isaac Stalling, Ken Pomeroy, Chris Jones , Mike Rose and Ethan Teel. The line-up and name aren’t the only things that are different. Although hailed as an Americana band, the new single, “The Ledge” with its tinges of synthesizer and guitar riffs, seems to embrace more of a rock feel that previous songs and albums that the band has released. Change is always good, and it seems to have been a welcome thing for The Flycatchers.

Kyle Nix & the 38s | RC & the Ambers | Chris Jones & the Flycatchers at Cain's Ballroom

Saturday night’s show with Chris Jones and the Flycatchers, RC & The Ambers and Kyle Nix and the 38’s, might have been one of the best shows of 2021. Normally you don’t see this many members of The Turnpike Troubadours on the stage at Cain’s Ballroom without it being New Year’s Eve, but Saturday night was an exception. The line to get into Cain’s stretched down the block, a line full of many people who had driven in from other cities and states after rumors had been swirling all week that the show would turn into a Turnpike Troubadours reunion. This was largely due to the news that the Troubadours had reunited and would be hosting a show at Red Rocks on May 14th.
