The four-piece, jam/rock band known as The Talismen has deep roots in Montgomery, Alabama. All four band members spent their teenage years here, before graduating high school and moving on to their respective universities. Many will remember the band as teenagers performing various events around the Capitol City, but that was many years ago and much has changed.
.
While primarily being split between Auburn and Birmingham, The Talismen have managed to continue growing and building on their original catalog, all while continuing to tour across the Southeast. They released their debut album, Jar Full of Something, in March of 2019. The album has since chalked up over 500,000 streams on Spotify. Following the release, the band teamed up with renowned bassist Kevin Scott (Jimmy Herring, Col. Bruce Hampton), who recorded and produced their second studio release, Extra Vehicular Activity. While the COVID-19 pandemic certainly presented its challenges, it didn't stop The Talismen from releasing Live From The Bunker, which gives listeners an in depth look at their constantly evolving improvisational skill.

You may have had the chance to catch these guys playing alongside Big Something at The Tipping Point back in July, or maybe even headlining Common Ground Shakedown at Union Station Train Shed later in the summer. Regardless, their upcoming Halloween show at Montgomery's Capri Theatre on Saturday, October 30th will be a unique and special occasion. This will be the band's first performance at the Capri, which has hosted acts such as The Derek Trucks Band, Oteil & The Peacemakers, Col. Bruce Hampton, Big Something, George Porter Jr., and many more over the years. This show will feature two full sets from the band, and from what we've been told, there will be plenty of surprises throughout the night. In the spirit of Halloween, the band strongly encourages those attending to arrive in costume.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this show will serve as the Capri's first true concert in 20 months. A very limited number of tickets are available for this show, and they can be purchased today by clicking here. Prior to the show, Moe's Original BBQ will be hosting a pre-party featuring live music from 4:00 PM -7:00 PM. Doors will open at the Capri at 7:00 PM, and The Talismen will kick things off at 7:30 PM. We had a chance to speak to the band earlier this week, and you can check out what they had to say below.

“It has been great being back on the road with the guys. We’ve already covered so much ground and met so many amazing folks. Playing our first Halloween Show at the Capri Theater has been a dream of ours for a while. It’s great to see it finally come to fruition. Feeling super grateful!” - Jack Bennett (lead guitar)

I guess I would say all my excitement about this tour is stemming from the fact that we are really gelling right now on stage. For us, that starts in the practice room. We play our best when we are writing new music and pushing our own personal boundaries in the basement, and we have gotten some really quality time together doing both of those things recently.- Jack Anderson (bass guitar/vocals)
.
“These past couple of months have allowed us to get back into the swing of things and we're feeling more prepared than ever. This show is gonna be something special and I highly encourage everyone to come get down with us!” - George Norrell (drums)
.
“The past year has definitely had it’s challenges. Being able to get back out on the road and play our music in a live setting has been truly rewarding. We’ve always hoped to have a chance to play the Capri, and this Halloween show is going to be a very special night for us.” - Jack Wagstaff (keyboards/vocals)
