ARTIST PRESALE: Monday June 29, 10a east – Tues June 30, 10p eastPUBLIC ON SALE: Wed, July 1, 10a eastThe Revivalists have partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 per ticket goes to Rev Causes, a fund that supports the essential work of organizations dedicated to reviving and investing in our communities, our health, and our environment. By allocating a portion of our ticket sales, and through fan donations and a variety of fundraising efforts, we aim to assist these exciting organizations in building a better future. For a long time, The Revivalists have been embraced as a good-times band, their swirl of indie rock, soul, folk, and even a dash of hip-hop serving a soundtrack to many summer nights. Their story, after all, has been one of youthful triumph, with a chance encounter between singer David Shaw and guitarist Zack Feinberg steadily leading to an octet that rose from the dingiest dives to the grandest American concert halls and amphitheaters. With PJ Howard and Andrew Campanelli, they are a two-drummer powerhouse anchored by bassist George Gekas and buoyed by horn man Rob Ingraham, keyboardist Michael Girardot, and pedal steel guitarist Ed Williams. But all eight members are now firmly into adulthood, with seven of them fathers. Enter Get It Honest, their sixth and most affecting album, a true grown-folks record built on songs about cutting yourself clear of a past that only drags you down and embracing the parts of your present that make you grateful to be here at all, like love and grace and salvation. Let’s rewind, then, to the title track, the moment when Get It Honest truly began: When Shaw finally woke up for real one morning in early 2023, he barely remembered the words he’d jotted down sometime around 3 a.m. For more than a dozen years, The Revivalists singer had brought a workmanlike tenacity to songwriting, trying to do a little every day so as to keep his proverbial line in the creative waters. But the band was still three months away from releasing its fifth album, Pour It Out Into the Night, while he and his wife, Sam, were still six months away from becoming first-time parents. He was anxious, he admits, and maybe a little depressed. Though nearly 20 years have now passed since Shaw last had a drink, the thick thread of alcoholism that winds through his family still sometimes tugs on him in moments like these. He’d been thinking about how a dram or a draft might make him feel better, at least temporarily, when he stirred in the middle of the night to write down some lines: “Well, I’m so bored, so bored of being sober/Maybe I’ll go downtown, to some bar down on Decatur.” He finished the song the next day, its verses drawing the battle lines between what he has been and can still become. It was the first time he’d ever had such a pre-dawn epiphany, the first time a song had ever arrived so urgently and simply. That song—“Get It Honest,” of course—became the record’s emotional and musical centerpiece, the point from which everything else on the mature and magnetic Get It Honest radiates. In the past, lots of songs from The Revivalists began only with an acoustic guitar and voice. But as the band worked those old numbers up, that original germ would often recede or even disappear completely, supplanted by saxophone and percussion, steel guitar and keys. This time, though, The Revivalists quickly understood that the songs Shaw was writing—alone or with friends like Andriu “Yàno” Yanovski and Eric Krasno or with bandmates including Campanelli, Howard, and Feinberg—should retain that core, that the realizations within these words deserved to sit in the spotlight. Even colossal opener “Heart Stop,” about persevering in the face of things you love so much they threaten to tear you apart, keeps its center of tangled guitars, powerful drums, and belt-your-heart-out vocals intact. “I’m not afraid of the future comin’ my way,” Shaw howls en route to the climax, squaring up to whatever is to come. “I’m over wasting my time.” &#34;This one might hit a little different for everyone, and I love that. But for me, I’d say sometimes you are caught between two loves—one that’s tearing you apart and one that you know is right,” Shaw explains. “This song is the sleepless nights, the wreckage and the moment you finally surrender to what you know is there for you.” Some songs demanded that these skilled musicians do very little, perhaps only adding a trace of percussion; others required players to try new things altogether, like when Feinberg shifted to drums for the arcing and gorgeous acoustic closer, “Lay It on Me.” Only a few years ago, squeezing eight egos into such patient and subtle songs likely wouldn’t have been possible, but experience and solidarity have at last enabled it for The Revivalists. Being alone together again with producer Rich Costey at Guilford Sound—the stunning studio in the verdant woods of Vermont, where they also recorded Pour It Out Into the Night—helped. Where The Revivalists have embraced multiple musical personalities on previous records, this one has a blessed cohesion, as if the band has finally found how it wants to sound, at least for right now. “We let the acoustic guitar be the heart of it all the way through, pretty much with every song. So they just ring true to how they were written,” Shaw says. “It goes to the theme and the title—we just let the skeletons dance.” “Take a deep breath and remember,” Shaw sings late into “Lost and Found,” a folk-pop headrush about reaching escape velocity with your past. “You don’t have to be who you are forever.” He delivers that mantra like a newfound bit of gospel, announcing it as an axiom of collective liberation. Get It Honest follows that lead. “Razorblades And Runways” views the past with bittersweet introspection, Shaw lamenting the days he wasted chasing a thrill or his ego but celebrating the way his family now keeps him moving forward. It is a twinkling bit of soft soul, Ingraham’s flute lighting the way. And “Love’s the Only Thing” is a heartland rock wonder, equal parts plea from an emotional abyss and a paean to the power of love to pull us out of it. Get It Honest isn’t, though, blithely optimistic about the state of the world. The title track stares directly into the dark and acknowledges what it would mean to give in. Shaw wrote “As of Now” on New Year’s Day 2025, hours after a driver killed 14 people on Bourbon Street. “I want people to know, with our music in general, we’re here with them, down in the trenches,” Shaw says. “I don’t ever want to feel like an artist on a pedestal.” To wit, The Revivalists have long run Rev Causes, a philanthropic fund that funnels portions of ticket sales to crucial causes like mental health care, gun-violence reform, and environmental sustainability. With their words and their actions, The Revivalists simply take the time and energy to remember to look up and look ahead, to keep going. Now that Get It Honest is done, Shaw is still grappling with what the title phrase means to him. It is, on the surface, about the inheritance we get from our family, the way our genes and our upbringing inevitably shape who we become, for better and worse. Now that he is a father who sees fresh traces of himself in his daughter each day, it’s constantly on his mind. But maybe, he admits, it’s about something more—perhaps the way we move through an increasingly wobbly world, with little control over anything apart from our responses to it? These songs are about those responses, then, about coming out on the other side of self-flagellation and doubt and getting on with the living, as honestly as you can. The Revivalists have found their own unexpected way toward whatever is up ahead. “This album,” Shaw says, “is about understanding this point and learning to work with it like a potter works the clay. Our flaws and imperfections are what ultimately make us human and beautiful.”

Sitting at a piano, eyes closed, and heart open, the entire world appears to make sense for Frank Mastra in that moment. The Long Island-born and Nashville-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist exudes charm, confidence, and charisma well beyond his 21 years as he belts out real recollections of heartbreak, life, and love. He holds notes like his life depends on it, focusing his full-bodied delivery in a pure catharsis equally suited to a viral post or classic vinyl. Hailing from the seaside town of Orient Point, he grew up as close to music as he did to the ocean. His father played bass in a nineties alternative rock band in between tending to the family business of oyster farming. At three-years-old, he embraced piano wholeheartedly and built a solid musical foundation. In middle school, he picked up the saxophone inspired by his grandfather. Even though his high school didn’t have a jazz band, he was so committed to the instrument that he ventured to the next town in order to rehearse with another local high school’s jazz band. Along the way, he listened to as much music as possible, counting Ray Charles, Bill Withers, Joe Cocker, Stevie Wonder, and Leonard Cohen among his favorites. Pursuing a Music Industry major at SUNY Oneonta, he took to social media and posted covers. He piled up millions of views on covers of “I Believe To My Soul” by Ray Charles, “A Song For You” by Leon Russell, “Let’s Stay Together” by Al Green, and “Walk The Line” by Johnny Cash. Blown away by his voice and presence, Mercury Records reached out and offered him a deal. Now, he shines with a signature style steeped in Americana instrumentation, soul tradition, and fresh fire introduced on his debut single “Hangin’ On.”

Nancy Atlas and her band of Journeymen have been dominating the East End Music scene or Long Island for quite some time. Known for her raw, live performances and stellar songwriting Nancy and her band, The Nancy Atlas Project, have opened for almost everyone under the sun. To name a few: Elvis Costello, Lucinda Williams, Toots and the Maytals, Jimmy Buffett, Crosby, Stills and Nash… the list goes on and on. The reason is simple. When people want a solid act to open their show and get the crowd warmed up, they call  Nancy and her boys because they know they will deliver. Every time. Nancy grew up with gypsy blood in Commack, NY. Eager to get the buck out of dodge she spent her entire college years abroad at both Cambridge University in England and Richmond College in London and Florence.  She majored in art history, fine art, drinking lots of wine and talking shit. There was a serious recession going on the year she graduated college so instead of becoming a mad advertising executive she walked down to Portabello Road, London, bought a guitar for 60 quid and never looked back. It was pouring buckets of English rain that day so they gave her a black plastic bag to cover her guitar as it didn’t come with a case. Nothing, it is said, can stop true desire. Nancy now lives in Montauk, New York with her husband Thomas and her two sons, Cash and Levon, and her daughter Tallulah. When she is not writing a song or on stage rocking out, she can be found clamming with her kids, surfing with her kids, walking with her kids, reading with her kids or <a href="http://nancyatlas.com/?page_id&#61;285">cartooning</a> for her kids. On rainy days she lazily traces tour maps of Europe with her right hand while sipping her beloved PG Tibs English Tea and smiling out into the East End Mist.<blockquote></blockquote>

<div>Whether he knows it or not, every man lives by a code. And for country provocateur Paul Cauthen, that code is simple. Always bet on yourself. A singer-songwriter with a well-documented distaste for playing by anyone else’s rules, the East Texas native spent two decades clawing his way through the country underground, embodying the independent spirit with a monolithic Big Velvet vocal. Fusing classic-country grit, gospel power, and a rhinestoned rock edge, four previous albums proclaimed his singular style with a booming baritone and near-biblical swagger. Taught to sing by his grandfather in a Church of Christ, Cauthen hit the scene with the duo Sons of Fathers in 2009, before My Gospel, Room 41, Country Coming Down, and Black on Black unveiled a vulnerable, fire-and-brimstone songwriter with brazen Texas attitude – craving deliverance, yet possessed by a “bird dog” instinct for theatrical rapture. Cauthen has toured the world, collaborating with Margo Price, Orville Peck, Cody Jinks, and Lana Del Rey. And with favorites like “Cocaine Country Dancing,” “Fuck You Money,” and his GOLD-certified collab with Shaboozey on “Last Of My Kind,” he counts 442 million global streams. Cauthen’s fifth album, Book of Paul, takes him further down his path of utterly authentic country music; fearless, proud, and with two middle fingers in the air. Co-writing 12 of 13 tracks, the troubadour confesses to his wild side and wrestles with the sin. He spares no detail – and makes no compromise.</div><div> </div>

On her tenth studio album, the masterful Trouble and Strife, Joan Osborne has issued a clarion call. With stunning vocals, a diverse range of sonics, and incisive lyrics, this deeply engaging collection of new original songs is her response to “the crazy, chaotic times we’re living in,” she says, and “a recognition of the important role music has to play in this moment. Music has a unique ability to re-energize people and allow us to continue to hang on to that sense of joy of being alive.” Since she broke through 25 years ago with the multi-platinum Relish and its touchstone mega-smash “One of Us,” the seven-time Grammy nominee has never played it safe. Osborne has followed her restless musical heart, exploring a diverse range of genres: pop rock, soul, R&amp;B, blues, roots rock, gospel, funk, and country – all of which can be heard on Trouble and Strife, along with the Western side of C&amp;W and a touch of glam and disco. “For a lot of the record, we were going for a ‘70s AM radio vibe,” says Osborne.  As for the lyrics, the songs “are the most political I’ve ever written,” she conveys of her first album of originals since 2014’s confessional Love and Hate.  Osborne also produced Trouble and Strife, primarily recorded in her basement studio in Brooklyn and released on the label she founded in 1991, Womanly Hips. Tackling serious subject matter in her writing while crafting music to “uplift,” Osborne assembled “a great live band” (including several musicians who played on her acclaimed last album, Songs of Bob Dylan): guitarists Jack Petruzzelli , Nels Cline, and Andrew Carillo, keyboardist Keith Cotton, bassist Richard Hammond,  and drummer Aaron Comess. For vocal harmonies, she enlisted exquisite vocalists Catherine Russell, Ada Dyer, Martha Redbone, and Audrey Martells, whom she’s “had the great privilege to work with over many years.”  The result is a Trojan horse of a record – music that is energizing, melodic, and hummable, with lyrics that call out the corrupt, the despicable, and the destructive. Roots-rockin’ opener “Take It Any Way I Can Get It” inspires with the mandate “I’m still survivin’/I got to be dancin’”, propelled by a joyous gospel-tinged vocal attack backed by Wurlitzer and Southern-style intertwined guitars that dare you to sit still.  She cowrote the funky “Never Get Tired (of Loving You)” with Richard Hammond and her partner Keith Cotton, propelled by Cotton’s Prophet 6 synth, for her teenaged daughter: a message of stability in an uncertain world. “That song has a serious subtext,” says Osborne, but its “cool, retro flavor hopefully makes it a joyful thing.” The gorgeous ballad “Whole Wide World” finds Osborne hitting impossibly high notes, its sound inspired by the Chi-Lites; its message “is about hanging on to hope and envisioning something better for the future.” Another early ‘70s sound infuses the super-catchy “Boy Dontcha Know”: Osborne’s purring vocals are surrounded by a Spiders from Mars-era piano and Big Star-esque Mando-guitar; its singalong lyrics look at gender nonconformity and the obstacles one faces when born female.  Abuse of power is the subject of two of the angriest songs on Trouble and Strife, with their infectious sound imbuing the songs a la a wolf in sheep’s clothing: the bluesy stomp “Hands Off,” punctuated by distinctive guitar riffs, denounces corrupt exploiters of people and the planet.  “That Was a Lie,” with scornful lyrics buffeted by buoyant pop rock, castigates “those camera-ready mouthpieces for corrupt officials,” according to Osborne. Texan Ana Maria Rea, whose family emigrated to America when she was a child, contributed spoken passages in her native tongue to the rhythmic “What’s That You Say.”  “She tells the story of her family coming from Mexico City, where her father had been kidnapped, to the U.S. and how difficult that was,” says Osborne. “Her message is ‘I’m not afraid,’ and her mission is to help other people who are in the same position she was in. Ana Maria is a shining light of a person.”Escape from a place where “there’s nothin’ left alive” drives Osborne to “Panama,” a showcase of her vocal range expressing gut-punch lyrics reminiscent of Dylan at his most vitriolic. But it is the Western-flavored title track that Osborne points to as the song most inspired by her “Dylanology” concerts that began in 2016 and led to her 2018 covers album,  “If you spend that intensive time living with his songs, I think it just rubs off on you,” Osborne admits. “’Trouble and Strife’ betrays the Dylan influence the most because of the odd characters coming in and out of these absurd situations (much like the ones we find ourselves in today).” Osborne’s years of experience as a seasoned road warrior are reflected throughout Trouble and Strife, the album. Her tenure with what she calls a “meat and potatoes rock ‘n roll band&#34;, Trigger Hippy, shows up in “Meat and Potatoes,” a farewell

The latest album from Neal Francis, Return To Zero, emerged from the kind of visionary fever dream that only the most masterful and inventive artists are capable of bringing to life. Amid a grueling tour schedule that found him playing nearly 400 shows from 2021 to 2024, the Chicago-based singer/songwriter/pianist immersed himself in creating a beautifully strange entangling of timeless rock &amp; roll and ’70s-era dance music, merging supremely heavy guitar riffs with lush and pulsating grooves—all constructed sans digital programming, in keeping with his devotion to all things analog. Worlds away from the glitzy fantasia of archetypal disco, Return To Zero inhabits a far moodier atmosphere and ultimately makes for the most thrilling manifestation of Francis’ peerless musicality yet.Equal parts heady and hedonistic, pensive and euphoric, Francis’ third studio LP echoes both his deep-rooted psych-rock sensibilities and a lifelong affinity for classic funk. “I’ve always been intrigued by music that toes the line between funk and rock,” notes Francis. “In the past I’ve asked myself things like, ‘What would it sound like if Thin Lizzy cut a disco record?’ It’s something I’ve been fascinated with for a very long time, so I finally decided to really go for it.”The follow-up to his 2023 double live album and concert film Francis Comes Alive, Return To Zero marks Francis’ first full-length studio effort since In Plain Sight—a 2021 release acclaimed by the likes of leading rock critic Steven Hyden, who praised its “throwback big-band sound that recalls the highs of 1970s funk and swamp rock.” With his past work also including his 2019 debut album Changes (hailed as “the reincarnation of Allen Toussaint” by BBC Radio 6), Francis began playing piano at the young age of four and became an in-demand sideman while still a teenager, touring with revered blues artists and beloved instrumental band The Heard before embarking on his solo career. Over the years, he’s sold out headline shows all across the globe, supported the likes of Wilco, Black Pumas, and My Morning Jacket, appeared at major festivals such as Bonnaroo, Fuji Rock,  and Lollapalooza, and even performed at historic venues like Carnegie Hall.Like all of his studio work so far (including his 2022 EP Sentimental Garbage), Return To Zero finds Francis co-producing alongside his frequent collaborator Sergio Rios and recording live with members of his touring band (drummer Collin O’Brien, bassist Mike Starr, guitarist Kellen Boersma), elegantly showcasing his prodigious talent and dazzling originality as a keyboard player. Mainly created at Rios’ L.A. studio, the album’s grandiose yet warmly inviting sound also took shape from his close collaboration with composer/conductor Dom Frigo (who aided Francis by transcribing the LP’s symphonic string sections), Say She She (a Brooklyn-based psychedelic-soul trio who adorn a number of songs with their beguiling backing vocals), and a stacked lineup of co-writers that includes Queens of the Stone Age bassist Michael Shuman and Wild Belle co-founder Elliot Bergman.In the making of his most ambitious work to date, Francis faced countless moments of creative frustration—a factor that eventually gave the album its title. “I was cutting a lot of the vocals at home, using a hybrid process where I’d bounce the tracks from my computer to a tape machine and then record the vocals to tape,” he explains. “I’d be in my vocal booth in the closet with all our winter coats, and every time I needed to start over I’d press this button that says ‘RTZ,’ which stands for ‘Return To Zero.’ I was doing take after take and pressing that button over and over—it was a huge pain, but it also linked up with what I’ve learned in my meditation practice: no matter how frustrated you get, just remain calm and take inventory, and then begin again.”Although executing Return To Zero’s highly elaborate arrangements often involved a very time-intensive trial-and-error approach, the album-opening “Need You Again” surfaced from an immediate burst of inspiration after Francis attended a DJ set by Derrick Carter (a Chicago house legend who created a 12-inch remix of “BNYLV” from In Plain Sight). “My girlfriend and I went out to a queer dance party called Queen! and stayed till about four in the morning, and Derrick played a track that was a big rock riff over a funk beat,” he recalls. “The next day I went into the studio on very little sleep and started working on the demo for ‘Need You Again,’ and after I finished I couldn’t stop listening to it.” Featuring a guest spot from Grammy-winning guitarist Eric Krasno (Soulive, Lettuce), the result is a glorious entry point into the album’s groove-heavy soundscape, unfolding in sinewy riffs and larger-than-life rhythms as Francis narrates a tale of ruinous infatuation. “It’s a song about a love affair, and the experience of projecting magical qualities onto another person and feeling almost addicted or beholden to them,” he reveals. Another charmed moment in the album’s creation, “Broken Glass” was sparked from a session featuring Francis on bass and Shuman on drums, with the two soon conjuring the hypnotically potent riff that propels the track forward. With its viscerally charged depiction of lust and self-denial, the darkly majestic epic reaches a stratospheric crescendo at the bridge, when pounding drums meet with Say She She’s near-operatic harmonies. “Once we had that riff I started filling in some freeform poetry from my notebook, which had to do with the idea of taking direction in an intimate liaison,” says Francis. “It all came together so naturally because of how Michael was playing drums, bringing that Queens of the Stone Age heavy-rock thing I love so much.”One of the most dance-ready tracks on Return To Zero, “Back It Up” glides along on glossy synth lines and a playfully swaggering riff, imbuing a carefree spirit into Francis’ deliberately over-the-top confession of romantic desperation. “That song went through a few different phases before we got to the final iteration,” he says. “It took me a while to accept that it’s okay to have fun with the lyrics, instead of making everything so serious all the time.” Meanwhile, on “What’s Left Of Me,” Francis presents a gorgeously sprawling power-pop anthem built on his resplendent piano work. Co-written with Nashville-based songwriter Chris Gelbuda, the track arose from a piano-and-vocal demo captured at Chicago’s Fine Arts Building, soon evolving into a piercingly candid reflection on life on the road. “Chris and I are good friends and we got to talking about the challenges of being in a committed relationship while you’re on tour,” says Francis. “A lot of these songs were influenced by Electric Light Orchestra and the way Jeff Lynne synthesizes classical music and pop songwriting, and ‘What’s Left Of Me’ was definitely one where I was going for an ELO vibe.”Partly inspired by the funk and dance records he typically spins during his sets as an all-vinyl DJ, Return To Zero also encompasses everything from the spaced-out drama of “Dance Through Life” to the string-laced reverie of “Can’t Get Enough” (a collaboration with Durand Jones &amp; The Indications’ Blake Rhein that is a sublimely mellowed-out homage to acid-jazz pioneer Roy Ayers). In creating such a complex body of work, Francis found his sense of perseverance repeatedly tested. “Most of these songs were pretty hard-won,” he says. “There was a feeling of pulling out all the stops to achieve what I was going for, and in the middle of that I was dealing with some depression and exhaustion. I ended up learning a lot about myself, and now I feel like I’m in a completely different place in terms of my priorities with mental health.” Despite its more daunting aspects, the writing and recording of Return To Zero also brought plenty of moments of pleasure, including composing with strings for the very first time and tracking songs with his longtime bandmates. “All those guys are like my brothers, and there was a feeling of us working together with an almost athletic desire to get better every time we did a new take,” Francis says. “Those were really long days at the studio, but they were also so much fun.”Looking back on the making of Return To Zero, Francis points to certain crucial lessons absorbed while creating his most extravagantly realized work so far. “One of the main things I’ve learned is that every album is going to be its own journey; I can’t really take the arsenal of things I’ve learned in the past and expect them to save me from any kind of frustration with whatever I make next,” he says. “Creating art is always going to be a challenge, which maybe goes back to why AI-created music is never going to be all that compelling—it’s just too fucking easy. The best I can do is use what’s at my disposal and try not to freak out or despair when it gets difficult, and hopefully end up making something that gives people joy.”

King Yellowman Jamaica&#39;s first dancehall superstar, Yellowman ushered in a new era in reggae music following Bob Marley&#39;s death. His early-&#39;80s success brought the popularity of toasting -- the reggae equivalent of rapping -- to a whole new level, and helped establish dancehall as the wave of the future. For better or for worse, he also epitomized dancehall&#39;s penchant for &#34;slack&#34; lyrics -- that is, casual violence, sexism, homophobia, and general rudeness. Graphic sexuality was his particular forte, reaching levels of explicitness previously unheard in Jamaica. It brought him numerous detractors, but it was also a big reason for his early popularity. There was more to it than that, though; Yellowman was one of the most verbally nimble toasters of his time, with a loose, easy flow, a talent for improvisation, and a definite wit in his wordplay. Plus, all the boasting about his prowess on the mic or in the bedroom had to be over the top to be convincing: true to his stage name, Yellowman is an albino, which carries a tremendous social stigma in Jamaica. His rise to stardom was unlikely enough, but his transformation from untouchable outcast into sex symbol was staggering -- and may not even have taken place without his trademark lewdness. Shocking though it could be, it affirmed him as a sexual being just like his listeners, and was delivered with enough humor to let the audience know that he didn&#39;t take himself too seriously. Bouts with cancer pushed him into more thoughtful, socially conscious territory in the 1990s, but his initial style remains the most influential, paving the way for countless dancehall toasters to follow. He remained quiet through most of the 2000s before mounting a comeback with 2019&#39;s No More War. Yellowman was born Winston Foster in Negril, Jamaica, in 1959 (some accounts say 1956). An early target for abuse because of his albinism, he grew up in an institution in Kingston, with little to keep him company besides music. Influenced by early toasting DJs like U-Roy, he practiced rhyming and got a job with the Gemini Sound System as a substitute DJ. Christening himself Yellowman and dressing in a bright yellow suit, he peppered his lyrics with jokes about his skin color and outlandish tales of his sexual conquests. In 1979, he won a landslide victory at the well-known Tastee Talent Contest, and within months he had become one of Jamaica&#39;s top concert draws, thanks to a dynamic, humorous stage show in which he often used the microphone to mimic his anatomical gifts. Yellowman recorded prolifically in the early &#39;80s, at one point flooding the Jamaican market with more than 40 singles. His first full-length album, Them a Mad Over Me, was recorded for Channel One in 1981 and featured the hit title track and the single &#34;Me Kill Barnie,&#34; an answer record to Lone Ranger&#39;s hit &#34;Barnabas Collins.&#34; He also scored with singles like &#34;Operation Eradication&#34; and the infamously slack &#34;Shorties,&#34; which Peter Tosh condemned as degrading to women (hardly the first time such a criticism would be leveled at him). Despite this success, Yellowman didn&#39;t truly hit his stride on record until he hooked up with groundbreaking dancehall producer Henry &#34;Junjo&#34; Lawes. The 1982 LP Mister Yellowman kicked off their collaboration; released internationally by Greensleeves, it started to break him in the U.K. and U.S., and is still often acclaimed as his best album. It also launched a series of Jamaican hit singles over the next few years that included &#34;Yellowman Getting Married&#34; (a rewrite of the My Fair Lady number &#34;I&#39;m Getting Married in the Morning&#34;), &#34;Mr. Chin,&#34; &#34;Who Can Make the Dance Ram&#34; (a rewrite of &#34;The Candy Man&#34;), &#34;Zungguzungguguzungguzeng&#34; (sampled by several hip-hop acts), &#34;The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly,&#34; &#34;Soldier Take Over,&#34; &#34;Nobody Move Nobody Get Hurt,&#34; and &#34;Wreck a Pum Pum,&#34; among others. Many of his recordings during this era featured vocal contributions from fellow DJ/toaster Fathead, whose specialty was punctuating lines with animal noises (&#34;ribbit&#34; and &#34;oink&#34; were his favorites). After 1983&#39;s Zungguzungguguzungguzeng album, Yellowman signed a major-label deal with CBS Records, which encouraged him to maintain the stylistic versatility of his previous work. However, his lone album for the label, 1984&#39;s King Yellowman, sported mixed results, attempting everything from slack toasts to R&amp;B and pop-tinged crossover tracks, including covers of &#34;Sea Cruise&#34; and &#34;Take Me Home Country Roads,&#34; and the much-maligned fusion attempt &#34;Disco Reggae.&#34; He subsequently released several albums on Shanachie, including 1984&#39;s Nobody Move Nobody Get Hurt, 1985&#39;s Galong Galong Galong, 1986&#39;s Going to the Chapel, and 1987&#39;s Don&#39;t Burn It Down. The latter found him delving more into social consciousness; the title cut was a pro-marijuana protest, while &#34;Stop Beat Woman&#34; condemned domestic violence and &#34;Free Africa&#34; criticized apartheid. Around the same time, he suffered a bout with cancer that required the removal of part of his jaw, leaving him facially disfigured. Always a fighter, he nonetheless returned to action with the hit Fats Domino cover &#34;Blueberry Hill,&#34; and moved to the Ras label to record the well-received Yellow Like Cheese album with producer Philip &#34;Fatis&#34; Burrell. Yellowman&#39;s recording career continued apace, as his sexual boasts and gay jokes kept getting raunchier and nastier. His popularity had slipped after 1985, due in part to less consistent material, and also in part to the emergence of a legion of new dancehall artists, many of whom harked back to his early material for inspiration. Things changed, however, after an early-&#39;90s bout with skin cancer. Greatly shaken after this second life-threatening illness, Yellowman completely rethought his approach to music, and thereafter devoted himself almost exclusively to spiritual and social concerns. 1994&#39;s Prayer album (still on Ras) was the first effort in this new direction, and it was followed quickly by Message to the World in 1995. 1997&#39;s Freedom of Speech continued in a similar vein, after which Yellowman switched over to the Artists Only label. His first effort was 1999&#39;s Yellow Fever, which concentrated on conscious reggae but also featured some good-natured party tracks. Following the 2003 release of New York, Yellowman entered a lengthy recording hiatus, though he continued to perform live. In 2019, 16 years after his last album, he returned with No More War. The LP was the inaugural release on Yellow Baby Records, a label launched by Yellowman&#39;s daughter K&#39;reema, with whom he also collaborates.

Hailed by Rolling Stone as “a rare 21st century guitar hero and the undisputed future of the blues,”  Christone “Kingfish” Ingram stands at the crossroads of history and innovation, channeling the spirit of the  Delta while boldly reimagining what comes next. Now, with his new album, Hard Road, Kingfish looks  back at his extraordinary GRAMMY® Award-winning journey thus far by lighting out for previously  unexplored musical territory, infusing his signature sound with a genre-blurring approach fraught with  creative urgency and heretofore untapped emotional range. Executive Produced by Ingram and Ric Whitney for Kingfish’s newly minted Red Zero Records with  production by Patrick “Guitar Boy” Hayes, Nick Goldston, and longtime collaborator Tom Hambridge, Hard Road is Ingram’s most sophisticated and musically ambitious collection yet, one which renews the  long tradition of the blues by welding it to multiple strains of contemporary Black music. Songs like  “Nothin’ But Your Love” and the fiery “Voodoo Charm” see Kingfish effortlessly uniting classic blues licks with hard rock, no-holds-barred funk, soulful pop, and velvety R&amp;B, all with resounding immediacy and  astounding eloquence. With each album, Kingfish has upped his already prodigious game, not only in his  breathtaking guitar playing but in the increasing strength of his deeply personal songcraft and vocals  marked by a depth of expression well beyond his 26 years. “I feel like this is one of the first times people will be seeing me outside of just the blues thing,” Kingfish  says. “ I’ve always wanted to do music that showcases my voice and my songwriting as well as my  guitar playing. And I feel like this is the first album that showcases this approach.” A native son of Clarksdale, Mississippi — the de-facto Ground Zero for the Delta blues, just a stone’s  throw from the fabled crossroads where Robert Johnson made his fateful deal with the devil — Kingfish’s  six-string prowess first turned heads when he was still but a teenager. Though steeped in the tones of  B.B. King, Albert King, and Buddy Guy, what set Ingram apart was how he expanded the form, blending  in funk, soul, rock, pop, and jazz to create what has proven an evolving body of work that has drawn  accolades, acclaim, and honors from all corners of the globe. 2019’s debut album, Kingfish,  topped Billboard’s “Blues Albums” for an incredible 91 weeks and earned him his first GRAMMY® Award  nomination, plus three Blues Music Awards, including “Album of the Year.” Kingfish followed up with  2021’s 662, titled after his hometown MS area code, which won both the GRAMMY® Award and Blues  Music Award for “Best Contemporary Blues Album.” In 2023, the incendiary Live In London received yet  another GRAMMY® Award nomination as well as his second Blues Music Award for “Album of the Year”  and third consecutive triumph in the “Best Contemporary Blues Album.” Having now seen the world and returned home irrevocably changed, Kingfish was determined to push  himself as a songwriter, baring his soul and revealing new shades to his character. “Crosses” showcases  Kingfish’s personal spirituality with a righteous roar of rock ‘n’ roll testimony while “Clearly” and the heartbreaking “Hard To Love” sees him reaching acceptance that the path he’s chosen for himself is  strewn with both the highest of highs but also agonizing lows. “I’m still learning this songwriting thing as I go,” says Kingfish. “I learned telling your story is the best  story. I’m having more personal life experiences as I go and that plays a big part in the songwriting. I  always try to get a little bit more personal than before. “I have a journal pad here in the studio but most of the time I’m pretty much writing on my phone. The  writing goes on in the studio, it goes on in the hotel room and on the bus. If the line comes, I’ll just jot  it down in my notes. I feel like, for musicians, that part of us kind of never turns off.” Dripping with lusty energy and bewitching sensuality, the slinky funk of “S.S.S.” expands the parameters  of Kingfish’s music to incorporate other facets of his personal tastes. The elemental power of his guitar  remains at the center, with its searing tone and squalls of blistering leads, but Hard Road makes  unexpected stops at smooth R&amp;B, pop, and neo-soul, genres that tend to demand a bit more delicacy in  their arrangements and instrumentation.  “In those genres of music, you have to be a little more restrained with your playing,” Kingfish says.  “You have to tell a story rather than being all over the place. That’s a good thing, because it showcases  another side of my playing, rather than people thinking that I might be a one trick pony when it comes  to guitar techniques.” None of which to say Kingfish has pulled back from his spellbinding guitar mastery – far from it. His  playing throughout is fraught with flash, fervor, and finesse that retains its deep roots in the electric blues tradition while ascending to new heights of technical prowess and dynamic invention.  “Don’t get me wrong,” Kingfish says, “there’s definitely some shredding this on the record. But I feel  like there’s more subtlety as well. It’s a good balance, I think. “I just love what I do,” he adds. “I’m passionate about the guitar and I want to showcase that. I’m not  trying to impress anybody.” Kingfish is supported in his resolute efforts by a divergent trio of producers, each of whom brings  something exceptional to the proceedings. Tom Hambridge, a 4x GRAMMY® Award-winner known for  his work alongside such iconic artists as Buddy Guy, Johnny Winter, James Cotton, and countless others,  once again took his place behind the board having previously collaborated with Kingfish on his two  previous studio recordings.  “Me and Tom have a really good working relationship,” Kingfish says. “We have a chemistry for sure.  The new songs we wrote together, like ‘Voodoo Charm,’ all came together quite nicely. For me, Tom  brings experience. He’s taught me a lot about songwriting, about telling a story and how to paint a  picture to the audience.”Eager to up the ante for Hard Road, Kingfish also enlisted pop songwriter/producer Nick Goldston – with  whom he previously collaborated on 2020’s “Rock &amp; Roll,” an intensely emotional tribute to his late  mother, Princess Pride – as well as Patrick “Guitarboy” Hayes,” a veteran producer/musician who has  worked with R&amp;B stars like Trey Songz, Usher, and Keyshia Cole and first made Kingfish’s acquaintance  while both attended the 2020 GRAMMY® Awards. Each producer guided their respective sessions  towards varying sounds and styles, offering Kingfish fresh perspectives on how to approach his own  utterly distinctive artistry, from his signature instrumental proficiency to bringing heretofore untapped  depth to his vocal abilities.  With Patrick and Nick, I learned more about singing melodies,” Kingfish says, “Singing something that  the listener can remember and hum or sing along to. It’s different from the sort of straight blues I’m  used to. You know, in the blues you have that gospelly, minor pentatonic singing. But these other  genres, you have to really sing each line, if that makes sense.” Hard Road marks still another milestone for Kingfish as the first-ever release on his own Red Zero  Records. Co-founded by Kingfish and manager Ric Whitley, the newly launched label will further his  avowed mission to propel the blues ever onwards by giving a platform to uplift not only young artists  like himself but hard-working regional musicians who have yet to surface into national consciousness. “That’s something me and Ric have been talking about since 2019,” Kingfish says. “I was watching a  Sam Cooke documentary, and he was, right before his death, putting together a label. Something he  said on the documentary, he said he just wanted to give a chance to artists who didn’t get the same  opportunity as he did, or no opportunity at all. So that what we’re trying to do over here. Not only do  I have complete control of my music, but the big thing for me was, there’s a whole lot of other guys  and girls that’s leading the life in this blues world. But they don’t have the same resources or the same  opportunities as I did. So we’re just trying to be that helping hand.” Having already transformed modern blues with his landmark success, Kingfish is determined to pay it  forward. Hard Road reaches its destination with the raw-boned purity of “Memphis,” a slice of front  porch acoustic blues stripped clean of effect pedals and high voltage yet still as exhilarating as anything  that preceded it. With its unwavering focus on personal reflection, studio craftsmanship, and  contemporary sounds, Hard Road is a declaration of Christone “Kingfish” Ingram’s still rising confidence  and ability, a modern blues fusion that affirms this preternaturally gifted artist’s steadfast intent to carry  the flame for the music that made him and share its special magic and power across genre and  generation. “We see a lot more young people in the crowd these days,” Kingfish says. “Which is great because  that’s pretty much what we’re trying to do – we’re trying to lure my generation in, and then once we  get them in, we can show them about the real raw thing.”

Alabama-born country crooner Kashus Culpepper encompasses the sound of the South. A student and reverent purveyor of Southern music – country, soul, blues, folk and rock – Culpepper’s husky, sandpaper growl bellows like a freight train over self-penned stories that are as raw and real as they are haunting. Finding his voice in church as young as five years old, it wasn’t until 2020’s global pandemic that Culpepper went from listener to performer, picking up a guitar and learning cover songs to play at barrack bonfires in Rota, Spain during his deployment with the Navy. Covers soon became originals, and once he landed home on U.S. shores, Kash played dive bars up and down the Mississippi Gulf Coast, making a name for himself with the fresh-yet-reminiscent sound that oozes from his very being. Crashing into prominence, Culpepper sold out headline club shows throughout the South before formally releasing a single song. With Nashville taking notice, Culpepper found a musical home at Big Loud Records. Culpepper has joined Leon Bridges, Sierra Ferrell and Darius Rucker on tour – embarking this year on a headlining run as well as dates with Wyatt Flores and Eric Church. Named one of the 2026 Shazam Fast Forward Class, WXPN’s Artist to Watch for January 2026, 2026 Nashville Scene Artist to Watch, GRAMMY.com’s 25 Artists to Watch in 2025, Apple Music Zane Lowe’s 25 Artists for ’25, 2025 Variety Power of Young Hollywood Impact Report, Opry NextStage Class of 2025, Billboard’s February 2025 Country Rookie of the Month, 2025 Amazon Music Bonfire Artist to Watch, Apple Music’s February 2025 Country Riser of the Month, 2025 Pandora Country Artist to Watch and Martin Artist Showcase Class of 2025, Rolling Stone declares: “If what we’ve heard so far is any indication, expect 2026 to be a breakthrough year for this Alabama singer.” Culpepper’s debut album Act I is out now.

I walked from Gospel Flat to Bolinas Beach in the dark of dawn, feeling like a pot imperfectly mended, leaking light. Some call that beautiful but that morning I wasn’t so sure. I thought if I looked out at the water for long enough, let the sun rise and arc over me, something would break loose, some sort of divining might occur. I have chased all manner of being free, and here I was: At the end of a long, long trip—I&#39;m not talking about a music tour here, but something bigger and more existential and more treacherous—that had my spirit ragged and tired and aching. ... When I arrived at the farmhouse on the edge of that bay, my intention was to sleep and if I was lucky maybe begin to recover something I felt like I had lost, some kind of life. If I was lucky. The family that owned the farm gave me use of a high-ceilinged art studio overlooking muddy fields stretching off into the distance; a chicken coop of clucking hens stood outside the door. The room was full of paintings, wild canvasses of oranges and pomegranates, teapots, skulls, clocks, and children. There was a bed, and a small kitchen, and I was alone, and I slept. When I awoke on that first day, it was evening, and I walked down the dusty main street into town to watch a parade. A Mexican restaurant gave out food, and a Mariachi band played. People were happy. Could I be loved like that? When I walked back to my room, night had fallen, and I wrote one line: Truth, lies, magic, faith—I&#39;ve been trying to find the missing link in the chain. I woke the next morning and sat at the water&#39;s edge until the sun shone down on me. ... Some of the songs that eventually coalesced into the album called I&#39;m People were written during that lost moment in Bolinas, California. Others were written in my orange-carpeted studio in the North Carolina Piedmont looking out on a lone dogwood. And still others in a motel room and around the mezcal bars of Santa Fe, NM, amidst the thrum of vihuelas and fiddle whine. That&#39;s a lot of American geography, a lot of poetry, and a lot of tragedy. I spent a long time on the words, trying to make them feel like I spent no time at all on them, and endless hours on the choruses. How to sing them. What phrasing they wanted, and needed. What they were to be used for. The songs on I&#39;m People are about running towards and away from things, about reasonable and realistic hope and expectations, about having babies, getting older, love and lust and luck and music. They are songs about solitude and heartbreak and poverty of the spirit, and maybe community as some kind of antidote for these particular types of sicknesses. Shedding old skin. Mystery as a beautiful necessity. My grandmother Lucy&#39;s Cadillac, filled with cigarette smoke, Conway Twitty singing “Slow Hand.” The lightning fields outside Santa Rosa, NM, midnight. Late nights drinking wine, running wild, bondage, fealty, devotion, seeing and being seen, owning and being owned. My wife, my children, summertime in the mountains, wild roses climbing the fence, a peaceful mind, rummaging through scrap heaps of the heart, breaking and making and breaking again. To dust. Truth, lies, magic, faith. ... I&#39;m People was produced by my friend Josh Kaufman and myself at Dreamland, a decommissioned church outside of Woodstock, NY. I wanted the record to feel the way that upstate place feels, deep in the pocket, a place of poetry, earth and sky and mountains. A place where a lot of my favorite music has come from. The light that came down through the stained glass was a filter through which the music passed. Our gang during our time at Dreamland was small: Myself and Josh on various stringed instruments, plus JT Bates playing drums and percussion, and Cameron Ralston playing electric and upright bass. My longtime running buddy Chris Boerner engineered the album, with assistance from Gillian Pelkonen, who also sometimes sang harmony. We played and sang live in a loose circle, watching each other. It was very cold outside and the music was our peculiar heat. Later, we added parts from friends like Bruce Hornsby, Sam Beam, Marcus King, Sara Watkins, Amy Helm, Matt Douglas, Eric D. Johnson, and Griff and Taylor Goldsmith. They all contributed to the weave, and I&#39;m thankful to them, and especially thankful to Josh Kaufman, who had a vision for I&#39;m People that we saw through to the very end. In that way, it was very emotional. D. James Goodwin mixed and mastered the album. Graham Tolbert took the photograph of me on the cover. … I&#39;m People is an intensely human record, and so one that needed to feel immediate, vulnerable, and full of spirit; something you could touch, sing along to, dance with, know about, recognize, relate. I know what the record is to me and I bet it&#39;s not so dissimilar from what it&#39;s about to you, at least in the broad strokes: The heartbreak and exhilaration, the absolute black comedy of being a person on this razor&#39;s edge, this lion’s jaw, that is America circa 2025. What other choice do we have than to be hopeful?

<div>Merging the complex rhythms and Latin influences of South America with a modern fusion of funk and commercial dance music, Conga Cartel brilliantly combines to produce an explosive mix of dynamic music that rocks audiences to their very core.Working out of New York, the seven-piece band represent the wonderful tapestry of the South American continent and have been weaving together a stunning sound that has been entertaining crowds for years. A true international collection of experienced musicians, with band members coming from Uruguay, Chile, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador and New York itself, their music is undeniably infectious and underpinned by that audacious Latin flare.Fronted by the smokey and soaring vocals of Carolina, every single member of the band combines to become more than a sum of all their parts. Willy Fuentes from Chile drives the rhythm section with solid bass line grooves. Playing drums with boundless vitality, Jorge Castano, originally from Colombia, provides that perfect interplay with the rest of the band; complemented at all times by father and son percussionists Aquiles Jr. and Aquiles Senior. Infused with their Venezuelan heritage, they provide that infectious top line of congas, timbales, maracas, bongos, bells, and whistles that brings the carnival to the party. And finally, but by no means least, fitting like a smoldering glove of Santana-inspired guitar licks, Fabian Rodriguez from Ecuador proves his elegant mastery of the six-stringed instrument to audiences every time he performs. Conga Cartel has also egularly jammed with members of Mambo Loco.Conga Cartel have played at some of the most memorable events and venues in the Hamptons including The Montauk Music Festival, North-West ‘Woodstock’, Stephen Talkhouse, The Gig Shack , Springs Tavern, Tauk at Trails End, The Surf Club and The Harpoon House. Either individually or as a band, they have worked with artists such as Taylor Dayne, Orquesta Alquimia, Steel Pulse, Mila Tina, GE Smith, Big Karma, Mambo Loco, and Bajo Suen?os. As these performances and legacy demonstrate, they firmly believe in providing a platform and a strong voice for the Latin community.That incredible experience on stage and unique understanding of the musical journey that their audiences are on, is also driving them towards the studio and an album recording that is eagerly anticipated by their fans. Bringing together that melting pot of cultures with modern dance tunes is an intoxicating mix of ingredients that will redefine what is expected of the Conga Cartel.As the world experienced the tragedies of the last two years, so did the lives of musicians descend into anxiety and the loss of their dreams. Now the world has turned and the future looks so much brighter with the Conga Cartel back in it. Stronger together with a musical bond that cannot be broken, they are once again taking to the spotlight with the energy that defines the joy and wonder of life.There is nothing finer than hearing the Conga Cartel in full flight. Their collective knowledge of syncopated rhythms and inspiring, sophisticated melodies are a testament to their own self-belief and desire to take their music to the next level. Music is a part of all of our DNA and is the one thing that binds us as human beings. That cultural exchange that the Conga Cartel represents, lives through us in joy, love, celebration and song.Fall in love with music all over again and experience the future with the Conga Cartel.</div><div> </div>

Industry Night w/Conga Cartel

When The Record Company pick up their instruments, the members—Chris Vos [guitar, lead vocals,harmonica], Alex Stiff [bass, backing vocals], and Marc Cazorla [drums, backing vocals]—participate in amusical back-and-forth akin to a formative andsupportive conversation among siblings. The nuances oftheir personalities seep through loose,bluesy guitar leads, airtight drum grooves, thick bass, and vividlyevocative lyrics. With such fluidity, the musicians respond to one another so instinctuallyyou’d swearthey were telepathically linked. However, there’s no such superpower necessary when you’ve got theclosest thing to a brotherhood that three musicians unrelated by blood can share...The GRAMMY®Award-nominated trio only amplify the power of this bond on their fourth full-lengthoffering and 2023 debut for Round Hill Records.“We know each other’s personalities on the instruments, so we reconnected with one another andreally found that brotherhood again,” explains Chris. “It&#39;salwaysbeen there, but we got back into aroom where it was like a circle of stone. We’re creating something that will go out into the world. We allstand behind it equally, and we’re willing to put our lives and love into it. When you put your career,your future, and your art into another person’s handsand you know they’re doing the same for you,there’s a different level of trust. That’s been our secret since day one. When it’s challenging, we’re alltrying to figure out the challenge. When it’s good, we’reall experiencing it together.”They’ve experienced everything as a family since forming back in 2011. Along the way, they served up atested-and-provenepic in the form of their 2016 debut,Give It Back To You.The releaseearned aGRAMMY®Award nomination in the category of“Best Contemporary Blues Album”and spawned “OffThe Ground,” which reached #1atAAA Radio and tallied nearly 40 million total streams and counting.Beyond a string of stunning late-night television appearances, they performed onCBS This Morning, atBonnaroo, and on an extensive tour with John Mayer in addition to headlining coast-to-coast. Theymaintained this momentum withAll Of This Life[2018] andPlay Loud[2021].On top ofpraise fromAmerican Songwriter,Classic Rock, and more,NPRhailed the latter as“the band’s biggest and mostdynamic record to date.”In 2021, the guys hunkered down and commenced creating what would become their fourth LP.Working out of an intimate home studio in Beachwood Canyon, they wrote, recorded, and self-producedthe music. Outside of cutting drums at the legendary Sunset Sound,it proved to be a homegrown affairthrough and through.“We got back to our old perspective, which is to trust the idea, get out of the way, make something,listen, and respond to it,” affirms Chris.Alex elaborates, “We decided to record the organicthing that got us really excited to play music as aband in the first place. That was the general theme of this record. Keep it as close to a three-piece soundas possible. Keep the music raw. It’s a return to form in a way, but we’re still growing.”“We’vebeen doing this for a while,” adds Marc. “As long as we sound like us, we can be proud of it.It’s not going to be for everybody, but we’ve never been prouder of what we’re doing.”he Record Company kicks off their next era with the single “Dance On Mondays.” Guitar cries through ahypnotically hummable bassline and head-nodding beat. Meanwhile, a chantable hook instantly takeshold with grit and gusto as Chrisaffirms,“I don’t dance on Mondays.”“Somebody asked me to go see a bandon a Monday night, and I just said,‘I don’t dance on Mondays’,”Alex recalls. “I wrote it down in my phone. The phrase signifies,‘I’m taking my life back, and I’m notgoing to dance for anybody’. It goes back to where we are as a band and us being The Record Company.”Then, there’s “Talk To Me.” Bass practically dances atop a simmering groove punctuated by tambourinebefore guitar kicks back in as Chris urges,“So, why don’t you talk to me?”Marc goes on,“It reminds meof one of those rare Blue Note groove records with a chill vibe.”Launching into toe-tapping bounce, harmonica wails on “Darkest Days” as the stomp and 12-stringguitar underline a soulful vocal. “Highway Lady” shines with a Laurel Canyonmeditationin the glowof swooning slide guitar.“We wanted to make music you could listen to“Highway Lady”on a road trip in the car with the city’slights behind you,” Alex says. “This songhad this big vibe of feeling good both musically andspiritually.”“Lyrically,it’s my favorite,” adds Marc. “It could be about so many different things. I moved into thishouse with a little pool, which I’d always wanted in Southern California. When it’s hot as shit out, younaturally develop all of these new friends during the summer. You make a pool playlist, and I wantedone of our tunes to be a contender. To me, this is one.”In the end, The Record Company are stronger than ever as a band and, more importantly, as brothers.“I’d love for people to hear this record and feellike they’re in the house with us making it,” Alex leavesoff. “I want them to feel like they’re part of this unpolished and homemade thing, because that’s whatwe were trying to get back to.”“We’re a trio, and that’s the completion of this circle,” Marcconcludes. “The fourth member of thisgroup is the space between us. We embrace that space as part of the raw element. That’s what weexplored on this album, and it’s beautiful. We can’t wait to bring it on the road.”

The Thing is a four piece rock and roll band from New York City. The Thing consists of Lucas Ebeling (Drums), Jack Bradley (Guitar &#43; Vocals), Michael Carter (Guitar &#43; Vocals), and Zane Acord (Bass &#43; Vocals). Michael, Jack, and Zane bonded over a shared love for rock &amp; roll in school. Their influences span generations and styles like The Kinks, Cream, and artists of The Nuggets Compilation. As they progressed in skill and knowledge the band started envisioning a career inspired by the likes of Brian Jonestown Massacre, King Gizzard, and The Black Keys. The band originated in New York City in 2022. Months later, the band found drummer Lucas Ebeling who was freelancing in the New York jazz scene.  Since then they have played hundreds of shows across North America and Europe. Their debut LP, ‘Here’s the Thing’, was self-recorded by the band in Zane’s childhood home in Sharon, CT as well as Jack’s prior studio in Brooklyn. After establishing their sound and recording process, the band turned around the month after it was released to the public and recorded their second LP, ‘The Thing Is’ in May of 2023. The album was self-recorded in one month, with Lucas on the kit this time. With this album, they experimented more and recorded with all four members playing together in the same room. This method proved worthy, they recorded their third album in the same manner in January of 2024. The Thing’s self-titled third LP can be expected Summer 2025. LONG LIVE THE THING.

Steve Earle is one of the most acclaimed singer-songwriters of his generation. A protege of legendary songwriters Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, he quickly became a master storyteller in his own right, with his songs being recorded by Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Joan Baez, Emmylou Harris, The Pretenders, and countless others. 1986 saw the release of his record, Guitar Town, which shot to number one on the country charts and is now regarded as a classic of the Americana genre. Most recently, Earle’s 1988 hit Copperhead Road was made an official state song of Tennessee in 2023. Subsequent releases like The Revolution Starts...Now (2004), Washington Square Serenade (2007), and TOWNES (2009) received consecutive GRAMMY® Awards. Jerry Jeff, released in 2022, consisted of Earle’s versions of songs written by Jerry Jeff Walker, one of his mentors. Earle has published both a novel I’ll Never Get Out of This World Alive (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt 2011) and Dog House Roses, a collection of short stories (Houghton Mifflin 2003). Earle produced albums for other artists such as Joan Baez (Day After Tomorrow) and Lucinda Williams (Car Wheels on A Gravel Road) As an actor, Earle has appeared in several films and had recurring roles in the HBO series The Wire and Tremé. In 2009, Earle appeared in the off-Broadway play Samara, for which he also wrote a score that The New York Times described as “exquisitely subliminal.” Earle wrote music for and appeared in Coal Country, for which he was nominated for a Drama Desk Award. Earle is the host of the weekly show Hard Core Troubadour on Sirius Radio’s Outlaw Country channel. In 2020, Earle was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Jesse Solomon is a classically trained Jazz vocalist and a genre-blending singer-songwriter who is redefining modern soul with timeless style and undeniable charisma. His voice moves effortlessly between the smooth elegance of jazz, the emotional depth of classic soul, and the polish of contemporary pop – a sound that’s as familiar as it is fresh. Based between New York and Miami, Jesse first caught national attention as a breakout cast member on Bravo’s hit reality series Summer House. Viewers were drawn to his charm and authenticity on screen, but it’s his music that’s become the real center of gravity. Jesse’s breakthrough moment in music came when his tongue-in-cheek track, “What Would Jesse Solomon Do” went viral in an episode of Summer House.  Originally written as a playful tribute to his cast-mates, the song unexpectedly struck a chord with viewers and reignited his passion for performing. Since then, he’s been channeling that momentum into creating music that reflects both his artistry and the personal journey he’s been on over the past few years.  His rising profile hasn’t gone unnoticed—Rolling Stone stone recently spotlighted him as the “next-generation Michael Bublé,” praising his ability to bring a timeless sound to today’s pop landscape. Jesse&#39;s sound is rooted in live instrumentation and classic songwriting, but he brings a fresh perspective that resonates across generations. Raised on the classics and shaped by the present, Jesse’s influences range from Stevie Wonder and Frank Sinatra to John Mayer and Michael Bublé. His music bridges generations—reviving the warmth and character of vintage soul, jazz, and R&amp;B while crafting songs that feel right at home in today’s pop landscape. Whether he’s performing with a full band or delivering a stripped-down set at the piano, Jesse creates moments that feel intimate, honest, and unforgettable. His growing fanbase spans both music and television, drawn to his ability to connect, entertain, and inspire.   Currently working on his debut project, Jesse Solomon is forging a path that blends music and media into one cohesive story—his own. With a growing fanbase and an artistic vision all his own, he’s not just a singer—he’s a storyteller, a crooner, and a name to remember.

<div><div><div><div><div><div>After four fun-packed years down under, a brush with death and the related injuries were enough to convince Dave to leave the stunt business and return to Canada, to focus solely on music, in late 1988.His fans were glad he did and Dave took on music full time to perfect his professional repertoire, in Southern Ontario, Canada. He quickly became known for his big sound and antics on stage and ventured to write and produce his first album of original tracks. The result was an album with the  title track “I’m in Trouble”, an eclectic collection of pop material that showcased Dave’s versatility as a writer, vocalist, musician and producer.Following a number of local TV appearances around this time, Dave gave a charitable performance for the annual Terry Fox Run. The outdoor venue was packed with approximately 10,000 people participating in the festivities and the ‘Run for Cancer’. This was followed by several months of club bookings all over Southern Ontario, promoting his music.</div></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Dave was invited for a season in Bermuda that actually lasted an incredible 20 years! From house band at “The Cock &amp; Feather” to the headline act at “Henry VIII Pub and Restaurant,” he delighted an international audience and still travels to entertain many of these fans, in all corners of the globe, by private invitation.Dave now makes his home in Key West, Florida where he shares his unique and ever-expanding performing style with yet another international group of tourists and locals alike. He spends his summers on the road or in the UK, with his wife Karen, where his reputation and fan base also continues to grow.Dave Bootle possesses a killer comic presence, a versatile, range and an appealing voice.

When you hear Annie Trezza it&#39;s often hard to believe that all that sound comes out of one person. With groovy guitar riffs, 60&#39;s inspired melodies, and transportive lyrics, she projects an energy well beyond her size. Upon listening to Dylan and Beatles records on repeat at a young age, she felt compelled to pick up a guitar and start writing her own tunes at age 14. She spends her summers playing all around her home in Montauk, NY. In the off-season when she&#39;s not chasing the waves she&#39;s writing new music, and continuing to play anywhere in the world she finds herself. Between her distinctive voice and her poetic lyrics, it&#39;s hard not to get a little carried away when listening to any of her tunes. And that&#39;s okay because that&#39;s exactly what they&#39;re meant to do. With an album to follow, her EP Blue Suitcase #2 was released December 2019.

Singer/songwriter Alexa Ray Joel, the daughter of the legendary singer and songwriter Billy Joel and supermodel/actress Christie Brinkley, composes songs from her personal experiences.“I&#39;m always writing from an intimate feeling,”Joel says.“If it doesn&#39;t pour out of me, I don&#39;t want to write it.”Joel has had a long and accomplished career in music. By the age of 15, she was already completing full songs, accompanying them on the piano, and writing poetry. She sang alongside her father in the final year of his Madison Square Garden residency in 2024. Her favorite Billy Joel song is Lullaby (Goodnight, My Angel), which he wrote for her. This fall, Alexa Ray is set to release a new 5-song EP, Tales From A Winding Tower, following the releases of the hard-charging single Riverside Way and the ‘60s-insipred Heavy Eyes, while her latest single, Only Just A Moment, revisits the heartache of a past romantic encounter from her youth wherein the line between friends and lovers was blurred.“It&#39;s a deeply intimate song, based on an encounter I had many moons ago,”she says.“It left me with a very palpable ache, and it&#39;s a pretty relatable narrative. A lot of young women go through that.”The EP is the latest in a long and accomplished career, including her 2021 poignant pop single Seven Years, inspired by her long-term relationship. During the pandemic, she contributed to charity events, including a virtual variety show for The Felix Organization, which benefits children in foster care, founded by Darryl McDaniels of Run-D.M.C. In 2022, Joel collaborated with HOBO Bag for their Naughty &amp; Nice collection, also creating a playlist inspired by the theme. Joel is on the board of “Rockers on Broadway,” a celebration of the Broadway community, and has performed at the annual events honoring artists like Diane Warren and Billy Porter. Her performances at Café Carlyle have showcased her eclectic repertoire, including original songs, Broadway numbers, and nods to her father and Ray Charles. The New York Times praised her in a 2014 review headlined, “A Singer Confidently Following Her Heart.”Joel became part of The Gap&#39;s &#34;Back to Blue&#34; television ad campaign, performing her interpretation of Billy Joel&#39;s 1977 song, Just The Way You Are. Her Notice Me single, released in 2010, was listed as a &#34;Hit-Bound song&#34; on the Sirius XM Hits 1 Satellite Radio Channel.Newsday wrote the song had a “carefree braininess” and “bouncy guitar riffs and an instantly hummable chorus” that made Joel&#39;s work sound “like Regina Spektor crossed with Katy Perry.”Joel has also ventured into the fashion world, appearing on magazine covers, participating in fashion weeks, and serving as a fashion correspondent. She&#39;s also an advocate for women, addressing issues like online bullying and body image. “I have so many remarkable young women who follow my social media. These women often write to me with stories of their struggles with a body image, as well as general battles with finding self-esteem and self-love. I can relate to this on a deeply intimate and personal level, as I was bullied quite a bit by the media when I was younger. You could say I was an exceedingly late bloomer; I didn’t really grow into myself, or feel remotely good about myself, until my late 20s.”Joel showcases her talents not only in music but also in acting, with appearances in Fox&#39;s Family Guy, and auditions for Broadway productions. Her philanthropic efforts are marked through her performances at charity events for organizations such as Smile Train, the Rainforest Foundation benefit concert, and the Christopher &amp; Dana Reeve Foundation. A self-described “cat-lady,” she’s also championed animal rescue efforts. You can follow her journey on Instagram &#64;alexarayjoel

<div><div>Americana and roots singer-songwriter Jackie Greene is a jack-of-all-trades, and an artist who can croon over soulful piano ballads as much as he can shred a bluesy guitar solo (like he did as the lead guitarist for The Black Crowes in 2013). A road warrior and musician&#39;s musician, Greene&#39;s new EP &#39;The Modern Lives - Vol 2&#39; (out October 2018 on Blue Rose Music) finds him at a new chapter in his life: his first months of fatherhood, time off his relentless touring circuit, and a cross-country move from Brooklyn to his birthplace of Northern California. This new collection of six original songs is a thematic extension of &#39;The Modern Lives - Vol 1&#39; EP (released in 2017 on Blue Rose Music), imbued with a Brooklyn basement DIY feel and ethos. He is a student of American music, transfixed upon its progression through time, as well as how regional sounds fit in a contemporary context. Whereas &#39;Vol 1&#39; saw Greene experiment with the Delta blues as a canvas for his examinations of modern society, &#39;Vol 2&#39; sees Greene embrace the sounds of the bluegrass and folk tapes of his youth.Lead single &#34;Crazy Comes Easy&#34; showcases Greene&#39;s dynamic, multi-instrumental range as he plays slide guitar, organ, bass, and percussion, the guitar licks an appreciative nod to his time in The Black Crowes. Meanwhile, &#34;Good Old Bad Times&#34; highlights Greene as the songwriter as he rattles off lines like &#34;How can somebody find a future? / If they ain&#39;t got a foothold in the past?&#34; while taking a critical eye to the idea of nostalgia. Piano ballad &#34;Victim Of The Crime&#34; was one of Jackie&#39;s oldest demos up until the feel of these sessions gave him the tools to finish a song that, in his words, was written for his wife before she was his wife. While the title possesses a kind of melodrama, the song itself is tender and heartfelt as he details love&#39;s trials and tribulations.  Greene partnered with Academy Award-nominated &#34;king of indie animation&#34; Bill Plympton for a series of music videos for &#39;The Modern Lives - Vol 1&#39; that would eventually become an animated short film titled &#39;The Modern Lives&#39;. The film is currently making the rounds at film festivals where it has already won the Jury Award at the USA Film Festival in Dallas, TX, and the Grand Remi Award / Best in Show at WorldFest in Houstin, TX. The short is also being exhibited at the 71st Festival de Cannes/Court Metrage, Melbourne International Animation Festival, and ASIFA-East Festival, amongst others.</div></div><div><div></div></div><div><div>Since the release of his critically-acclaimed debut album &#39;Gone Wanderin’&#39;, Greene has built an enduring audience through a relentless touring schedule with the likes of BB King, Mark Knopfler, Susan Tedeschi, and Taj Mahal. He played lead guitar with The Black Crowes on their Layin’ Down With #13 World Tour, recorded and toured with Trigger Hippy - his supergroup with Joan Osborne - and in the last four years performed over 300 shows of his own, all while continuing to record and release his solo work. Greene is a frequent member of Phil Lesh &amp; Friends, and sits in with countless other artists including Tedeschi Trucks Band, Govt Mule, Mississippi All-Stars, Amy Helm, Steve Earle, and Bob Weir.</div></div>

<div>“Coming off the recently completed sold out world tour as the heartbeat of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, we are thrilled to welcome back Max Weinberg’s Jukebox to the Talkhouse”. </div><div> </div>Performing over 450 shows since April of 2017, Max Weinberg’s Jukebox continues to barnstorm the country, blasting out the hits! As Chuck Berry instructed us in his classic “School Days,”…drop the coin right into the slot” audiences have thoroughly embraced the idea of picking and calling out the songs the band pays—in real time and in a variety of intimate venues. From Beatles to Bruce and Stones to Steppenwolf the band infuses these classics with the respect the songs deserve. As one fan said, “It’s not a concert—it’s party! The bar was packed!” But don’t take our word for it. Here’s what Marc Steczyk, director of the Lincoln Amphitheater, in Indiana, had to say: “Max Weinberg’s Jukebox was one of the most interactive, energetic performances that we’ve ever had at the Lincoln Amphitheater! Max, literally, leaves the stage to be amongst the crowd—his fans—and lets them pick the set list from a scrolling list of 300&#43; songs…and they play it…on the spot…spot on! Max is a pro’s pro, as was his entire band—tremendously professional to work with and a great asset to our entire performance series!

It’s dangerous to put Illiterate Light in a box, especially with the release of their new album, Arches. Are they a guitar-driven indie rock duo? Kaleidoscopic neo-psychedelia? Synth-kissed, harmony-laden folk? What does one do with an album beginning with “fake tits and diet coke,” then pivoting to train derailments in rural Ohio and never-ending black holes? These prolific farmers-turned-rockers have captured the energy of their live shows—fans crowd-surfing, moshing, crying, and crooning—and infused it into their latest release.“We’ve always been shape shifters, moving between heavy, dark distortion and gentle sweet fingerpicking, writing aggressive songs, introspective songs, and love songs, exploding and embracing,” reflects singer-guitarist Jeff Gorman. “Smashing it all together used to feel strange, but now there&#39;s a glue between everything we do. Our fans get it. They care less about genre. All they care about is feeling. And that’s all we care about. Are you alive or not?”Illiterate Light’s third album, Arches, is not a passageway but an arrival. “We’re no longer striving to define a sound,” said drummer Jake Cochran. “We’re leaning into sides of ourselves that have felt off-limits, sticking to what feels right rather than concerning ourselves with comparison.” Out November 1 via Thirty Tigers, the record is bursting with thunderous anthems, biting lyrics, and lush harmonies.The band originated in the Shenandoah Valley in 2015 when multi-instrumentalists Gorman and Cochran began playing music together while working on an organic farm. Eventually, they left the farm to focus on music, adopting the moniker Illiterate Light from a Wilco lyric. After several years of non-stop touring, they signed with Atlantic Records and released their eponymous full-length debut in late 2019. Two years later, they signed with Thirty Tigers and, in 2023, issued their critically acclaimed LP, Sunburned. Shortly after, they released two additional EPs, making Arches their fourth release in two years.Arches was recorded in two very different locations: small-town Appalachia at Gorman’s home studio and Hollywood, CA at Sunset Sound with producer Joe Chiccarelli (The Strokes, Beck, The Killers). “We wanted the best of both worlds,” says Gorman. “We spent several days with Joe at Sunset. To record vocals in the same live room as so many of my heroes—Neil Young, Paul McCartney, Dylan—was unreal. I knew I was in a holy place.” The LA session was paired with sessions in Virginia, where Gorman and Cochran co-produced the bulk of the record with longtime collaborator Danny Gibney. In their hometown, they experimented with soaring instrumental journeys and had friends sit in on the sessions to keep things lively.“Having our community stop by the sessions kept us on our toes—we haven’t been able to do that in the past. It helped connect us to the feeling of our live show,” recalls Cochran. Illiterate Light’s live performances, described by the Washington Post as “massive,” feature Gorman on one foot, hammering bass on a foot-pedal synth, shredding big guitar riffs, and spitting out song after song while Cochran matches Gorman harmony for harmony, dancing with his standing drum kit, teetering on the edge of the stage only to dive head first into his next solo.Arches is the closest you can get to their live show, with heavier songs like “I Ride Alone” and “Bloodlines” encapsulating the best of the writhing, uninhibited front-row experience. The keystone of the album, “Norfolk Southern,” crashes in with Gorman belting, “Here comes the Norfolk Southern / It&#39;s off the tracks / and heading for you,” with Cochran chanting, “break, break, break, break” to the ghost of the train that derailed in 2023 in East Palestine, Ohio, releasing 10,000 gallons of hazardous materials into the atmosphere. The song also serves as a metaphor for Gorman’s own turbulent feelings. “I certainly wanted to shine a light on the environmental catastrophe. But strangely, some days I feel just like that Norfolk Southern, barreling out of control at warp speed.”Gorman lets the lyrics take control. Showing up relentlessly, day after day, to his home studio dubbed “The Bookhouse” (a tribute to David Lynch&#39;s Twin Peaks), he can’t predict what will arise. For the album&#39;s first track, “Payphone,” the opening lyrics were a surprise to Gorman: “Fake tits and diet coke / Full of undefeated hope / You are the only one I trust.” The jangly and groovy album opener is a pep talk between a woman named Big Red and her man as he faces crippling self-doubt and is self-medicating. She comforts him during a time of despair on a phone call that continues to drop.Another relationship study, “Montauk,” is a cold beachside dance under the full moon inspired by the central question in Gorman’s favorite movie, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. “Do we go for it again—even though we&#39;re destined to fail?” he asks. “For me, the answer is a resounding yes.”“All the Stars Are Burning Out” continues in that reflective vein. “It’s a throwback song, about getting high, going for a drive, dreaming up your future. You’re looking at that wide open black sky of bright stars, and they’re so beautiful and inspiring, and they make you want to follow your dreams. And yet all those stars eventually burn out. It’s a song about going for it even though life is impermanent and full of change,” Gorman said.The saying goes, “arches never sleep.” Designed to distribute weight evenly, arches naturally rebalance as the structure around them shifts over time. Illiterate Light’s Arches exists within this metaphor in many ways. The album marks a period of artistic strength, a balancing act of identity and possibility. To listen to Arches is to plant yourself within the arch, to stand in the threshold between two worlds and gaze into Gorman and Cochran’s constant motion forward.

Nancy Atlas and her band of Journeymen have been dominating the East End Music scene or Long Island for quite some time. Known for her raw, live performances and stellar songwriting Nancy and her band, The Nancy Atlas Project, have opened for almost everyone under the sun. To name a few: Elvis Costello, Lucinda Williams, Toots and the Maytals, Jimmy Buffett, Crosby, Stills and Nash… the list goes on and on. The reason is simple. When people want a solid act to open their show and get the crowd warmed up, they call  Nancy and her boys because they know they will deliver. Every time. Nancy grew up with gypsy blood in Commack, NY. Eager to get the buck out of dodge she spent her entire college years abroad at both Cambridge University in England and Richmond College in London and Florence.  She majored in art history, fine art, drinking lots of wine and talking shit. There was a serious recession going on the year she graduated college so instead of becoming a mad advertising executive she walked down to Portabello Road, London, bought a guitar for 60 quid and never looked back. It was pouring buckets of English rain that day so they gave her a black plastic bag to cover her guitar as it didn’t come with a case. Nothing, it is said, can stop true desire. Nancy now lives in Montauk, New York with her husband Thomas and her two sons, Cash and Levon, and her daughter Tallulah. When she is not writing a song or on stage rocking out, she can be found clamming with her kids, surfing with her kids, walking with her kids, reading with her kids or <a href="http://nancyatlas.com/?page_id&#61;285">cartooning</a> for her kids. On rainy days she lazily traces tour maps of Europe with her right hand while sipping her beloved PG Tibs English Tea and smiling out into the East End Mist.Jeremy Elliot:A vision to heal the world, one song at a time. Since busking on the streets of New York City at the age of 13, that’s all Jeremy Elliot ever had. Years of cultivating his songwriting while playing around New York’s rock club scene would lead him to Los Angeles in his early twenties. Soon after his arrival a chance encounter with one of the world’s biggest producers and songwriters, Jason “Poo Bear” Boyd, would help begin writing his next chapter. Over the following few years, Elliot would write songs for the likes of Trey Songz, Matt Nathanson, and Justin Bieber - the latter of whom’s multi-platinum album, Purpose, earned Elliot a GRAMMY nomination. All the while Elliot would continue to develop a one of a kind sound as a solo artist with support from Poo Bear, eventually adding producer Danny Boy Styles (The Weeknd, Beyonce) among others to guide him as he crafted his debut project.

The Upsides are an indie rock act based in New York City, consisting of brothers Matt and Dan Fullam with longtime friends Hart Mechlin, Pat Freeman and Matt DaSilva. On their 2024 self-titled debut album, the band created a distinct blend of &#34;irresistible 90s jangle pop&#34; (We All Want Someone to Shout For) paired with uptempo guitar work reminiscent of the early aughts NYC rock revival. The result is a sound that is &#34;accessible, unique, and timeless&#34; (Glide Magazine). The group is currently at work on a second album, heading in a bold new direction as they draw inspiration from heavier Soundgarden-esque sounds of the 90s while still allowing for the trademark wistful jangle from the first album to evolve and fit this new mold. The songs occupy a bigger emotional spectrum than the debut, and mixing engineer Austin Asvanonda (Sam Fender, The War on Drugs) is working with the band to bring this dynamic sonic landscape to life. Singles will be released throughout the summer until the album comes in October 2026.

“We can argue politics and policies, but, at the end of the day, we are bound together beyond these,” shares Americana singer-songwriter Inda Eaton. “I do what I do to connect—music has this great disarming quality—it leads to vulnerability quickly as people lay down their shields.”In a career that spans 8 albums in 20 years, and a blur of endless tours, for her latest album, Shelter In Place, Inda opted for once to stay put. The 11-song record was literally tracked in the Springs, New York-based artist’s backyard. In the stillness of the album writing process, she sifted through her scrapbook of travels, and created a Huck Finn-spirited collection of story-rich heartland rock songs brimming with adventure, and personal reflection.Inda’s warm humor, free-spirited emotionality, and literate flair make her songs feel as comfy as a favorite pair of jeans. Inda’s vocals have a whiskey and honey-tinged raspy quality that’s both stirring and soothing. Her stories and musings feel instantly resonate. Inda’s songwriting spans fist-pumping anthemics and bucolic balladeering, and it embraces a wide swath of influences, including country, classic rock, folk, and pop.Inda’s music has been a global passport, taking her through Latin America, Australia, and Germany in her early years. There, she became something of a charming troubadour, winning over audiences with her quick wit, affable onstage connectivity, and her ability to fuse rousing hooks within a downhome roots-rock sensibility. These formative experiences have served her well in building an engaged following in the U.S.Inda has toured in various configurations throughout America, both as a captivating solo performer and a powerful bandleader with a trusted posse of ace musicians. Select live highlights include opening for noted names like John Hiatt, Blues Traveler, Earl Scruggs, Hootie and the Blowfish, LeAnn Rimes, Shemekia Copeland, and Molly Hatchet. Additional performance highlights include tours for American Society of Young Musicians and VH1’s Save the Music Program.Inda has been a fixture on the CMJ alternative charts, earned an AFIM “Best Independent Album” nomination, and garnered critical industry acclaim in publications such as Billboard and Relix.Through it all, her DIY flag has flown majestically. She has her own music publishing company, Skin to the Wind Productions, and Inda has self-produced or co-produced many of her albums.In 2010, Inda formally committed to sharing music with younger generations in school music programs with what has become <a href="http://ideastoinspire.org/">Ideas to Inspire™</a>, an arts-fostering organization that works to provide students with creative experiences through music, storytelling and self-expression. When not touring in support of her albums, Inda and her bandmates can be found traveling from one k-12 classroom to another supporting i2i programs across the country.For album 8, however, Inda put the brakes on to ponder her winding path, thus far. “The road is a muse for me—the best way to ground ideas for me is a road trip. This album is kind of the shelter to process the trips I’ve been on,” she details.Besides geographic travels, Shelter In Place is rife with coming of age themes couched in loss. Also threaded throughout the album is Inda’s multi-layered take on America. Inda was born in California and raised in Wyoming and Arizona, so one could say she deeply feels the heart of the heartland. She’s also a gay woman who married in 2011.“I do come from the heartland, and identify so much as an American—it feels like anything is possible here. We are the best chance for hope,” Inda says.  “I just get upset when we can’t get along.”

Thus far his catalog consists of nine full-length offerings highlighted by fan favorites such as We Were Here, Simple Times, Underwater, Wax Wings, and Here, Right Now.Following the release of his 2021 acclaimed album The Ghost and The Wall, Joshua left his material existence in the rearview, grabbed a backpack, packed his guitar, picked up a pen and a pad, hit the road in search of new stories to tell. Those stories comprise though the world will tell me so, volumes one &amp; two which were released early 2023. During 2025, he turns the page on the next chapter of his career and life with his tenth full-length LP and first independent album since 2017, One Day Home. Immersing himself in the process mind, body, and soul, he pored over these 13 tracks, perfecting each moment and co-producing six tracks with Wally Gagel. This time around, he prepared the music for a double-LP release with one half original studio versions of the tracklisting and the other piano vocal versions. Musically, he taps into two sides of his sonic palette, leaning into soul and singer-songwriter stylings while tracing the journey of a romantic relationship.

Together they form a dynamic and versatile backing force, equally at home behind an original as they are deep into a Cranberries cover at last call.Regulars at Red Lion &amp; pubs across the tristate area, Turner and Pespi bring a catalog that ranges from Paramore to Fleetwood Mac to 90s alternative staples, all delivered with the looseness of a band that has been playing together long enough to stop thinking about it.

Halloween Party w/ Hello Brooklyn

Don&#39;t let the petite frame fool you - when Dawnette Darden hits the stage she commands every square inch of the room with the presence of a born diva, her voice crackling with soul and intensity. As a professionally trained dancer she moves with energy practically oozing from every pore. The powerhouse vocalist boldly tackles everything from disco to pop to New Orleans Jazz, but its in the realm of true rock and soul where she absolutely shines- channeling their very essences. She&#39;ll deliver covers of Led Zeppelin that would make Robert Plant himself take notice, then honor R&amp;B Legends like Aretha, Stevie and Etta James with a reverence that borders spiritual.
