“This is the album of my life. I may not make another one because I may not have anything left in me. My experience in recovery—both as an alcoholic and an artist—brought me to places of brutal honesty, and it has been exhausting,” says John Shipe.

His latest is a fiercely poetic and fearlessly vulnerable double album aptly titled, The Beast Is Back, out October 2nd. The diverse collection brims with songs that course through all streams of Americana, including stately piano ballads, swampy blues, intimate folk, haunting country, and sprightly classic country.

As always, shows are ALL AGES and no cover charge.
