Larry Fleet: Another Year Older Tour
with Opening Act DASHER
$29.95-69.95
Presented by Superior Credit Union
Tennessee-born troubadour Larry Fleet grew upon a stack of records that spun everything from Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson to Otis Redding and Marvin Gaye. That mix shaped a sound rooted in country storytelling but unafraid to reach beyond its borders. A thoughtful songwriter with a knack for sharp one-liners, sturdy hooks, and a powerhouse voice that cuts straight to the truth, Fleet was working blue-collar jobs long before ever landing a record deal. A devout familyman and respected songwriter (including co-writing "Man Made A Bar," recorded by Morgan Wallen featuring Eric Church), Fleet has built an impressive catalog: 2019's aptly titled Workin' Hard, 2021's Stack of Records — a nod to the music that raised him — 2023's Earned It with the standout "Things I Take for Granted," and now 2025's independently released Hard Work & Holy Water. Fleet is doing things his own way — touring globally, connecting with fans, and staying true to where he's from while taking country music somewhere new.
The evening's opening act is DASHER:
Meet DASHER, a brother/sister duo, comprised of Max and Laela Dasher who make their home in the heart of Appalachia, Black Mountain, North Carolina. But before there was Appalachia, there was Northeast Louisiana.
Max and Laela’s childhood was filled with screened-in-porch summer nights, where bluegrass ballads met the sweltering heat of the bayou. At a young age, Max and Laela learned perhaps the most important skill that any band can learn- they learned to blend. Blend their instruments, blend their harmonies, and blend their stories. This skill was perhaps perfected within the walls of an old church, where acapella worship was the only way to worship. And voices were the only instrument needed. It was here that they discovered how truly beautiful and haunting that a harmony can be. Fast forward to their high school years, where the Dasher family uprooted to the Blue Ridge mountains, known for being the epicenter of Folk and Americana music. It was on these cool mountain evenings where their passion for blending the storytelling traditions of Appalachian folklore with the soul-stirring narratives of their Louisiana heritage was ignited. DASHER weaves together the intricate threads of creating a sound that is both hauntingly familiar and refreshingly unique. DASHER is nostalgia. Every lyric has a story attached to it. Every instrument is a tribute to a place. When you hear the desperate whine of the fiddle, we hope you are taken somewhere warm. When the gentle plucking of the guitar begins, we hope you smell your grandma’s cooking. When the chords of the piano strike, we hope you are transported back to that little white church that you first found God. One thing is certain: when you listen to DASHER, you're not just hearing music—you're coming home.
