A unique voice in American music , the songwriter/singer/multi-instrumentalist Cahalen Morrison returns to JHot Club (He was last here for our Country Cantina 2024).
?Cahalen is making music the world needs.?? TIM O?BRIEN
Originally hailing from the high desert of Northern New Mexico, Cahalen Morrison has made a name for himself over the past decade, touring solo, as a duo with Eli West, or with his roadhouse country band Western Centuries. Cahalen has played shows and festivals all over the world .
Equally at home on guitar, banjo, mandolin, singing three-part harmony or unaccompanied, he has carved out a place for himself as a unique voice in American music. An insightful and poetic wordsmith and songwriter, a subtle and accomplished roots multi-instrumentalist and a captivating singer.
Due out in spring 2026, Cahalen?s new record The Rolling Thunder of The Sea is a collection of all new, original material from the acclaimed songwriter. The theme of his relocation to Scotland from the American West runs deep throughout the album.
Cahalen has played all over the United States, Canada, UK, Ireland and much of Western Europe, and at festivals such as MerleFest, Shetland Folk Festival, & Bluegrass Jamboree
Description
The Central stands as a venerable institution on Half Moon Lane, a Grade II listed edifice that has anchored Gateshead's social landscape since 1856. More than merely a commercial enterprise, this historic building serves as a vital cultural conduit, consistently drawing in both local patrons and visitors for its enduring character and diverse programming. Its distinctive architecture, affectionately known as 'The Coffin' by some, speaks to a rich past interwoven with the fabric of the town.
Inside, the meticulous 2010 restoration has preserved a sense of Victorian grandeur, where the polished dark wood of the bar gleams under a warm, inviting light, and the subtle aroma of malt and hops hangs gently in the air. The atmosphere is one of convivial sophistication, a space where conversations flow easily amidst the echoes of generations past, yet firmly rooted in the present.
Beyond the main bar, patrons discover a thoughtfully curated selection of up to thirteen hand-pulled ales, alongside a global array of bottled beers, fine wines, and spirits, including a dedicated whisky lounge. A rooftop terrace offers an elevated perspective of the surroundings, providing an additional dimension to the venue's offerings, complemented by a menu of traditional fare.
Throughout the year, The Central maintains a dynamic calendar of events, regularly hosting an array of live performances spanning music, comedy, and theatrical showcases. It also provides a distinguished setting for private functions, cementing its reputation as a versatile and cherished hub for entertainment and community gatherings within the region.
