J. Roddy Walston and the Automatic Band with The Poppletons
Animas City Theatre Presents J. Roddy Walston and the Automatic Band with The Poppletons Friday June 19th 2026 $25 / $30 / 21+ No Exceptions Includes Minors with Legal Guardian Doors 7:00pm / Show 8:00pm Standing Room Only w/ Limited Seating in Balcony J. Roddy Walston is a force of nature. If his hits like Heavy Bells is are a war cry, then the deep cuts like Boys Can Never Tell are a tac@cal cosmic retreat. For some, his music is a form of religion, psychedelic in its intensity, transforma@ve in its grip on the body, shaking loose something primal that’s been buried too long. It’s not about thinking, It’s about moving, feeling, surrendering. His influences are a riot of contradic@ons: Kurt Cobain’s fury, Nilsson’s fractured sweetness, Zeppelin’s power, and somewhere in there a perverted nod to William Onyeabor’s lonely calculator funk. Cri@cs try to box him in, but Walston can’t be contained—he does chaos, and his live shows do damage, but fortunately his songs can pay the tab. Catch him and his band before he burns it all down again. https://open.spotify.com/artist/1FlpoZvmdqEMfKIzgMmSJX?si=3a2n5Px9R7agsIdjmol3wg https://www.jroddywalston.comhttps://www.instagram.com/jroddywalston?igsh=MTF0dWxiMWJ5MTVpbQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qrhttps://youtube.com/@jroddywalston?si=yg43vzEpgHFmelSt The Poppletons Band bio: Doc, Rock, and Chef Poppleton – aka The Poppletons – are a high-energy all-original extended-jam psychedelic rock band.

Adam Deitch’s career has crossed genres and he plays the role of both producer and drummer. Adam was inspired by hip-hop at an early age, inspired by Public Enemy and Eric B and Rakim. Adam has produced records for such luminaries as 50-Cent, Redman, Talib Kweli, Pharoahe Monch, Chali 2na and MF Doom. He has also done major session work on drums for artists including Justin Timberlake, Daniel Bedingfield, Anthony Hamilton, DJ Quik and Wyclef Jean and the Fugees. Adam has toured the world and recorded as a member of the Grammy Nominated John Scofield Band, Pretty Lights, the Average White Band, The Fugees, Wyclef Jean, Meshell Ndegeocello and his own Break Science and Lettuce. https://www.deitchbeatsdontquit.com https://www.facebook.com/AdamDeitchMusic/?fref=tshttps://soundcloud.com/adamdeitch https://www.youtube.com/user/TheRealAdamDeitch https://www.instagram.com/deitchadam/?hl=en
