PJ Morton with Free Union
Warehouse Concert Series: PJ Morton with Free Union About the Show: It all starts and ends with the music. For PJ Morton, the songs, records, and shows say everything that needs to be said -- and more. Whether performing, playing, or producing, the GRAMMY® Award- and Dove® Award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist, Morton Records founder, and Maroon 5 keyboardist fills one timeless role most comfortably, that of a "Music Man." In doing so, he consistently crafts work of a classic caliber on stage and in the studio. "I've been blessed to communicate through songs better than words or anything else," he admits. "I believe in the power of music and honesty. When those two things come together, there's nothing more powerful. I endeavor to be a true 'Music Man' who loves these instruments and the lineage that got us here. It doesn't matter if I'm putting out another artist on my label, making material of my own, producing someone else, or in Maroon 5, I'm a 'Music Man' in every way." 2019 upheld this claim for Morton.

Susto
Warehouse Concert Series: Susto About the Show: Mobility has always helped define America. Don't settle for where you start. Find a new town, new coast, or new state of mind -- then make it yours. "We export this idea of getting in your car and going somewhere, trying to find something new, bouncing around," says Justin Osborne. "We live in some strange, crazy times. There is a sense of darkness. But I'm crisscrossing the country, and people are good and fun. There is a lot of beauty everywhere. I think not forgetting that is important." Osborne is home in Charleston, South Carolina, reflecting on the personal journey and cultural climate that have led to Ever Since I Lost My Mind, the third record and label debut for his acclaimed project SUSTO. The album is a resounding triumph: a mix of new partnerships and collaborations with old friends, all anchored by Osborne's perceptive songs that explore connection, loss, and transience -- and the pain and joy each brings. "Ever Since I Lost My Mind is very personal. This collection of songs came together over the course of a couple of years, and they all represent…
