SUMMARY:Indigo De Souza
DESCRIPTION:“Everything has to be said.” This is the conviction guiding Indigo De Souza’s sophomore album\, Any Shape You Take. This dynamic record successfully creates a container for the full spectrum—pushing through and against every emotion: “I wanted this album to give a feeling of shifting with and embracing change. These songs came from a turbulent time when I was coming to self-love through many existential crises and shifts in perspective.” \nFaithful to its name\, Any Shape You Take changes form to match the tenor of each story it tells. “The album title is a nod to the many shapes I take musically. I don’t feel that I fully embody any particular genre—all of the music just comes from the universe that is my ever-shifting brain/heart/world\,” says Indigo. This sonic range is unified by Indigo’s strikingly confessional and effortless approach to songwriting\, a signature first introduced in her debut\, self-released LP\, I Love My Mom. Written in quick succession\, Indigo sees these two records as companion pieces\, both distinct but in communion with each other: “Many of the songs on these two records came from the same season in my life and a certain version of myself which I feel much further from now.” \nThroughout Any Shape You Take\, Indigo reflects on her relationships as she reckons with a deeper need to redefine how to fully inhabit spaces of love and connection.“It feels so important for me to see people through change. To accept people for the many shapes they take\, whether those shapes fit into your life or not. This album is a reflection of that. I have undergone so much change in my life and I am so deeply grateful to the people who have seen me through it without judgment and without attachment to skins I’m shifting out of.” \nLead single “Kill Me\,” written during the climax of a dysfunctional relationship\, opens with the lines “Kill me slowly/ Take me with you.” This powerful plea\, that begins within the quiet strum of a single electric guitar\, is diffused by Indigo’s ironic apathy—a slacker rock nonchalance that refuses to take itself seriously: “I was really tired and fucked up from this relationship and simultaneously so deeply in love with that person in a special way that felt very vast and more real than anything I’d ever experienced.” \nAcross the table from that irreverence sits the sincerity of the single “Hold U\,” a more energized\, neo soul-inspired love song that substitutes apathy for a genuine expression of care. “I wrote ‘Hold U’ after I left that heavy season of my life and was learning how to love more simply and functionally. I wanted to write a love song that was painfully simple.” \nGrowing up in a conservative small town in the mountains of North Carolina\, Indigo started playing guitar when she was nine years old. “Music was a natural occurrence in my life. My dad is a bossa nova guitarist and singer from Brazil and so I think I just had it in my blood from birth.” It wasn’t until moving to Asheville\, NC that Indigo began to move into her current sound\, developing a writing practice that feeds from the currents that surround her: “Sometimes it feels like I am soaking up the energies of people around me and making art from a space that is more a collective body than just my own.” \nLinks: Website | Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | Spotify \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Yasmin Williams
DESCRIPTION:Yasmin Williams sits on her leather couch\, her guitar stretched across her lap horizontally with its strings turned to the sky. She taps on the fretboard with her left hand as her right hand plucks a kalimba placed on the guitar’s body. Her feet\, clad in tap shoes\, keep rhythm on a mic’d wooden board placed under her. Even with all limbs in play\, it’s mind boggling that the melodic and percussive sounds that emerge are made by just one musician\, playing in real time. With her ambidextrous and pedidextrous\, multi-instrumental techniques of her own making and influences ranging from video games to West African griots subverting the predominantly white male canon of fingerstyle guitar\, Yasmin Williams is truly a guitarist for the new century. So too is her stunning sophomore release\, Urban Driftwood\, an album for and of these times. Though the record is instrumental\, its songs follow a narrative arc of 2020\, illustrating both a personal journey and a national reckoning\, through Williams’ evocative\, lyrical compositions. A native of northern Virginia\, Williams\, now 24\, began playing electric guitar in 8th grade\, after she beat the video game Guitar Hero 2 on expert level. Initially inspired by Jimi Hendrix and other shredders she was familiar with through the game\, she quickly moved on to acoustic guitar\, finding that it allowed her to combine fingerstyle techniques with the lap-tapping she had developed through Guitar Hero\, as well as perform as a solo artist. By 10th grade\, she had released an EP of songs of her own composition. Deriving no lineage from “American primitive” and rejecting the problematic connotations of the term\, Williams’ influences include the smooth jazz and R&B she listened to growing up\, Hendrix and Nirvana\, go-go and hip-hop. Her love for the band Earth\, Wind and Fire prompted her to incorporate the kalimba into her songwriting\, and more recently\, she’s drawn inspiration from other Black women guitarists such as Elizabeth Cotten\, Sister Rosetta Tharpe\, and Algia Mae Hinton. On Urban Driftwood\, Williams references the music of West African griots through the inclusion of kora (which she recently learned) and by featuring the hand drumming of 150th generation djeli of the Kouyate family\, Amadou Kouyate\, on the title track. Since its release in January 2021\, Urban Driftwood has been praised by numerous publications such as Pitchfork\, Rolling Stone\, The Wasington Post\, NPR Music\, No Depression\, Paste Magazine\, and many others. Williams will be touring in support of Urban Driftwood throughout 2021. \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | Twitter \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Dustbowl Revival
DESCRIPTION:Dustbowl Revival has always been about pushing the boundaries of what American roots music can be. After celebrating over a decade of sonic adventuring and playing thousands of shows together in ten countries and counting\, the group collected a devoted fanbase coast-to-coast. After throwing five of their own virtual Sway-At-Home festivals during the shut-down featuring nearly forty artists\, the always evolving group of string and brass players led by founding members Z. Lupetin\, Josh Heffernan\, Ulf Bjorlin are excited to welcome a new wave of talent to the band\, after emerging from a pandemic touring hiatus. \nAfter spending years on the road\, selling out hometown shows at LA’s famed Troubadour\, headlining festivals and wowing crowds from Denmark to China\, Dustbowl Revival never stopped making their joyful\, booty-shaking soul songs and cut-to-heart folk-rock ballads that lift up their transcendent live shows. \nEven so\, with the bands emotional new single “Beside You” and 2020’s ambitious full length Is It You\, Is It Me\, they wanted to strike into new terrain. As they mined new energetic material from the place where folk and funk music meet\, they teamed up with producer Sam Kassirer (Lake Street Dive\, Josh Ritter) and engineer Brian Joseph (Bon Iver\, Sufjan Stevens). The latest album strikes a more personal note than ever before\, representing the latest stage in a band that never stops exploring new sounds. \nMany of the songs feel like small theater pieces coming to life verse by verse. It’s the yin-yang conversational harmony that is the true specialty of lead songwriter and singer Z. Lupetin\, who also doubles as a playwright and recently wrote the music for a Greek tragedy set in Gold Rush era California. While longtime co-lead Liz Beebe has stepped away from the band after a long run\, an amazing young talent in Lashon Halley has stepped in to bring new life to the songs\, matching Lupetin’s intense vocal range with her own. \nWith a big brass-and-strings band building around the voices\, Is It You\, Is It Me isn’t afraid to explore the personal and political tension that the group may have shied away from facing before. The album tackles uneasy topics\, often where the political feels personal\, especially in the defiant “Get Rid of You\,” which was inspired by the student activists who emerged from the tragic Parkland High School shooting in Florida. The ominous driving brass groove of “Enemy\,” hones in on a painful generational split between a daughter and her parents who may have voted in a tyrant\, and have become strangers to her. This yearning search for common ground pervades the record as a whole. \nWhere the band really sets on a new course is on lushly cinematic\, orchestrated set pieces like “Mirror\,” “Runaway” and\, most notably\, the current fan favorite and live showstopper “Sonic Boom\,” about the struggle to reveal who you really are in the hidden\, rose-colored world of social media. There’s a new widescreen expansiveness to these songs that wouldn’t be out of place in a packed arena or orchestra hall with a full neon light show. Acting like a nimble rock orchestra\, during the recording process\, each member played multiple instruments\, and the group brought in new musicians on symphonic brass\, and local friends to sing as a spur-of-the-moment choir. \nLinks: Website | Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | YouTube \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Valley Maker
DESCRIPTION:We have all become experts in the imbalance of uncertainty these days\, newly accustomed to canceling plans and tentatively rescheduling them for some future we can only imagine. For Austin Crane—the ruminative songwriter\, riveting guitarist\, and singular voice performing and collaborating as Valley Maker—such a sense of uncertainty has emerged as his steadfast companion these last few years\, a period of profound transition. This flux is the anchor for Crane’s fourth and best album as Valley Maker\, the gorgeous and felicitous When the Day Leaves. \nEarly in 2019\, Crane and his wife\, Megan\, decided it was time to leave Seattle. South Carolina natives\, they’d been in Seattle for nearly a decade while he pursued a doctorate in human geography at the University of Washington\, and she worked as a midwife. As Summer 2019 ended\, they prepared to head east to Columbia\, SC\, rejoining a deep community of friends and moving into a century-old home in need of big love. Still\, major questions loomed: Would they\, just then past 30\, like it enough to stay\, to start a new life? And what did it mean to go home? \nDriven as it is by departure\, When the Day Leaves marks the arrival of Valley Maker as a trustworthy narrator for these shaky times. Crane synthesizes these complex feelings into the magnetic first single\, “No One Is Missing.” A song about reckoning with self-doubt while searching for community\, “No One Is Missing” acknowledges the tension inherent in those ideas\, especially during our polarized era. The swaying “Branch I Bend” is a workaday anthem and an ode to whatever goodness you find\, to recognizing grace in a world that can seem starved for it. \nAll these thoughts are rendered with newfound lyrical richness\, balancing intimate tidbits with universal ambiguity. Crane raises questions only to let them linger\, shaping clouds of geographical and political specifics and asking you to draw out the meaning. During “Mockingbird\,” he sings of moving to his Columbia home and planting a new tree\, tiny details that induce an imaginative diorama for the listener—where does life go from here? \nIn the months before recording began\, Austin convened with producer Trevor Spencer and longtime harmonizing partner Amy Godwin for sessions in Portland and Seattle\, teasing out the album’s interwoven arrangements and meticulous vocal harmonies. Then\, in November 2019\, Crane decamped from Columbia to the Pacific Northwest for a three-week session in the woods outside of Woodinville\, a small town northeast of Seattle at the foot of the Cascades. \nLinks: Website | Instagram | Facebook | Twitter \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Tommy Prine
DESCRIPTION:This is a seated show. \nTommy Prine picked up a guitar at age 10 and\, without ever taking a formal lesson\, started picking melodies. Though he has crafted his own unique sound over the years\, he learned from observing one of the best. He is the son of the late legendary multi Grammy award-winning artist\, John Prine. \nThe watermark of Tommy’s sound comes from his unique finger-picking style combined with  soul-stirring songwriting. His songs pull inspiration from childhood adventures in the creek with his big brother\, to losing his best friend to the opioid epidemic\, falling in love\, and everything in between. \nTommy is delighted to share news that his debut album is set to be released in late 2021 and is proud to follow his dad’s example of bringing songs and smiles to music fans everywhere. \nLinks: Website | Instagram | Twitter \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:The Texas Gentlemen
DESCRIPTION:Pop on Floor It!!!\, the new and second full-length effort from the Texas Gentlemen\, and prepare your eardrums to be hit with everything from woozy\, brass-fueled Dixieland-style jazz (“Veal Cutlass”)\, to slinky\, chicken-scratch country funk (“Bare Maximum”) to lushly orchestrated pop-soul balladry (“Ain’t Nothin’ New”)-and that’s all in just the first 10 minutes of play time.  \nWhile the Gentlemen’s sound is clearly steeped in the classic roots\, rock and pop music of the ’60s and ’70s\, there’s a dreamy (the lilting “Sing Me to Sleep”)\, spacey (“Skyway Streetcar”) and occasionally progressive (“Dark at the End of the Tunnel”) element to what they do that seems to detach the music from belonging to any particular place and time. Add in elements of funk\, soul\, country\, r&b\, southern rock\, gospel and essentially any other style that catches their musically omnivorous ears; an expansive and detailed approach to arrangement that sees the songs adorned with all manner of horns\, strings and heavenly background vocals (“Hard Road”) and you have a collection of tunes that is more than just a mere album. Rather\, Floor It!!! is a rich and righteous ride.  \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Kevin Krauter
DESCRIPTION:In music\, there’s often a tendency to focus on personal pain. It’s a useful shorthand for understanding how an artist got to where they are now\, but sometimes that heaviness doesn’t leave enough room for nuance and change. In his solo work\, the Indiana musician Kevin Krauter doesn’t flinch when staring down his past\, but he doesn’t get too obsessed with the dark stuff either.  \nIn 2018\, Krauter released Toss Up\, a quiet album that was built on intricate guitar riffs that looped back on themselves to create a feeling of sunlit calm. Krauter’s sophomore follow up\, Full Hand\, dives further into the world he’s created – one where songs are evocative of late afternoon light\, or dust settling on a creaky floorboard\, but with lyrics that probe Krauter’s personal life\, grappling with sexuality and religion\, while exploring what it means to grow up\, grow more critical\, and\, in turn\, more self-confident.  \nAcross 12 tracks\, Krauter tackles these emotional states and ideas through elliptical songwriting that is at once poetic and truthful. “A lot of the lyrics touch on how I was raised religiously\, touch on me understanding my sexuality more and more in recent years\,” Krauter says\, “just growing up and becoming more confident in myself…that process of looking inward and taking stock of myself.” It’s not especially uncommon for artists to probe deep into their own psyche to uncover what makes them tic\, but Krauter’s light touch feels like something all his own. On Full Hand’s first single\, “Pretty Boy\,” he sings\, “Look ahead\, say I see me now / Smiling at what used to stress me out / Cause it won’t be too long\, but I’ll take my time with it / It won’t be too long till I come back home.” There’s a palpable sense of joy in Krauter’s acceptance of dire\, stressful moments\, and a liberation that comes from hearing him realize that the present will eventually be the past\, and he’ll be able to look back and find peace.  \nThis sense of acceptance is the backbone of Full Hand\, both musically and lyrically. Krauter took stock of the different phases of his life – what he was listening to\, how he felt when he was a teenager – and welcomed all of it into his music. This meant that nothing was off-limits. All influences were fair game – from early-’00s emo to late ’90s radio rock – and his entire history\, instead of becoming something to be ignored or pushed aside\, became part of the patchwork of his music. “It’s nice to recognize that the instinct is there in me and all I have to do is say yes or no.”  \nAround the release of Toss Up\, Krauter shed light on his dominant artistic impulse toward overwhelmingly nice sounds that weave throughout lyrical meditations on personal growth. His vocal lilt on “Opportunity” is so warm\, so effortlessly pretty\, that you’ll almost miss moments of harsh truth like “Wake up to a morning so listless / come to\, sun is looming in.” By the end of the song\, Krauter is alone\, left behind\, looking at his life and wondering what he’s supposed to do next. “It’s an easy fallback to be self-deprecating or defeatist in whatever I was I writing\,” he says. “It was a challenge to myself to see how I could flip it the other way but also be real about it. I don’t want to make some sugary\, feelgood\, all payoff thing because that’s not what my life is like.”  \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Bandcamp \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Dylan LeBlanc
DESCRIPTION:Dylan LeBlanc is engaging and soft-spoken in person\, yet his striking new album Renegade reflects the power of his live show – one that he simply describes as rock ‘n’ roll. While the album was recorded in just 10 days and tracked in three\, the intensity of the project marks the culmination of more than a decade on the road.  \n“I like the idea of a renegade – branching off from society or from the structure of the way our world is designed\,” he says of Renegade\, his first album for ATO Records. “It felt right to call it that. I wanted to write about the crueler\, nasty aspects of the world and life.”  \nLeBlanc’s observations are woven through Renegade\, though he’s more interested in telling the story than judging the characters for their decisions. The title track\, he says\, is “about troubled cocky young men charming young women who were intrigued by that way of life\, only for it to end in tragedy. I saw this countless times growing up.” Later he writes about his personal efforts to become a stronger person in “Born Again\,” after a childhood of being bullied for his long hair and an adolescence marked by insecurity\, fear\, and anger.  \nLeBlanc considers the new album a departure from his past work\, but only because there’s more of an edge to these sessions\, recorded with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb in Nashville’s Studio A. This time around\, LeBlanc primarily stayed plugged in for the sessions\, giving Renegade a Tom Petty feel\, charged with a streak of ’80s rock. “I never really played electric guitar live in the studio like that\,” he says. “I’m so used to the rhythmic\, acoustic thing. It was just like playing in a show.”  \nSince 2016\, LeBlanc has toured with Alabama rock group The Pollies as his backing band. He’s known most of the band members since childhood\, growing up together in Muscle Shoals\, and considers them his closest friends. Because they’ve been playing songs on Renegade live\, it was only logical that the Pollies backed up LeBlanc in the studio\, too.  \n“They bring out a comfort in me to let loose\, let myself go a little bit more\, and get more immersed in the music\,” LeBlanc says. “It’s such a telekinetic thing\, because we’ve known each other for so long and we’ve played together a lot. It’s a band of guys that I know musically really well. They let me express myself creatively in a way that I probably wouldn’t be comfortable enough to do before.”  \nThese expressions are sometimes borne out of conversations with strangers\, such as the woman in “Domino” who shared her stories of prostitution with him\, or the man he met in New Orleans who inspired “Bang Bang Bang\,” whose life was dramatically altered by gun violence. On a more personal note\, “Damned” finds LeBlanc trying to wrap his head around religion\, while “I See It in Your Eyes” and “Lone Rider” capture the complications of relationships. One of the album’s quieter moments\, “Sand and Stone” is an effort to live in the present moment. As Renegade draws to a close\, “Magenta” evokes the slave history of a farm in Louisiana\, while “Honor Among Thieves” makes a powerful statement about ancestry\, immigration laws\, and land rights.  \nLeBlanc’s previous album\, 2016’s Cautionary Tale\, offered a satisfyingly mellow vibe in line with the ’70s musicians who influenced him. However\, once he started touring with the Pollies\, the sonic textures began to shift. Yet\, one of the strongest ties between the albums is LeBlanc’s blossoming confidence as a singer. The range and depth he showed as a vocalist on Cautionary Tale run throughout the 10 songs on Renegade.  \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Sammy Rae & The Friends
DESCRIPTION:Singer/songwriter\, bandleader\, and human being Samantha Bowers was born in the small town of Derby\, Connecticut. Sam first began writing songs at age 12 while taking piano lessons and listening to Bruce Springsteen\, Billy Joel and Freddie Mercury playing on the family stereo. By 16\, Sam developed a love of jazz and began to study the great female vocalists of the century (mainly Ella Fitzgerald\, Etta James and Sarah Vaughn) as she started to perform original compositions in local Connecticut and New Jersey venues. She would go on to write and release 3 LP records by the age of 18. \nIn 2013 at age 19\, Sam packed up and moved to New York to pursue music and songwriting. In 2016\, The Friends were born from a collection of talented musicians and friends. Sammy Rae & The Friends would play shows around the NY Metro area as Sam kept composing and sharpening her craft\, culminating in the July 2018 release of the self-produced EP ‘The Good Life’\, premiered to a sold-out crowd at C’Mon Everybody in Brooklyn. The release marked a fresh start for the seasoned vocalist showcasing her skills as a composer\, arranger\, lyricist\, and bandleader on her fourth release. Since the release of their May single ‘Saw It Coming’\, The Friends have enjoyed 6 sold-out shows in New York at well-known venues such as Knitting Factory\, Bowery Electric\, DROM\, and Rockwood Music Hall. The lyrics focus on themes of coming-of-age\, defiance\, and self-expression. Her genre blending performances are high-energy\, honest and quirky\, influenced by the great performances of her childhood classic rock heroes. \nIn short\, The Friends are the band. A rotating cast with some core all-the-time members. Their full band performances feature 9 pieces: a rhythm section\, a horn section\, keyboards\, and two back up singers\, all lead by Rae through high-energy vocals and an assortment of instruments. On a grander scale\, The Friends is the community of followers\, artists and creatives who help in the creation of the songs and the world. Merchandise item ‘The Official Friends Membership Card’ offers a goodie bag at every show\, drink deals\, discounted admission and invite-only after-parties. We don’t have fans\, we have Friends. \nAppearances by SR&TF are fully conceptualized and contained shows with opening and closing themes offering the invitation ‘I Wanna Be Friends With Ya’\, sung interludes\, choreography\, and the occasional costume change or skit. The community of the band is tangible and the energy is contagious. Performances are safe spaces for our audiences to make Friends\, dress boldly and dance how they like. Described as ‘a celebration\, a revival\, and an inclusive community all in a rock and roll performance.’ \nThe mission statement of Sammy Rae & The Friends is made clear in the final remarks sung at every show: ‘Go put a smile on somebody’s face\, go tell somebody they’ve got a place in this world\, go tell somebody you wanna be Friends with them.’ \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Spotify | YouTube \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:The Jacks
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to playing rock & roll\, The Jacks simply don’t have a choice. “It’s what we listen to\, it’s what we play\,” bassist Scott Stone says\, “and when you stick four guys like us in a garage with instruments\, it’s just the kind of music we are going to make.”  \nYou can hear a primal energy coursing through vocalist-guitarist Jonny Stanback’s gritty howl on “Walk Away\,” the lead single from their debut self-titled EP and the rest of the guys match his excitement with driving riffs and infectious melodies. It’s an electric charge that surges through each of the record’s five tracks\, guiding Stanback\, Stone\, lead guitarist Thomas Hunter and drummer Josh Roossin when they play together.  \n“We’re trying to push the boundaries of the rock & roll genre by incorporating modern elements\, but still keeping the core structure of a four-piece band\,” Stanback says. “We are creating a sound you’ve never heard before\, but feels familiar.”  \nThe way they see it\, playing rock at a time when pop and hip-hop are dominating the charts is an act of defiance. If any band is poised to help bring authenticity back to rock & roll\, it’s The Jacks. The quartet has been making a steady ascent since forming in Los Angeles in the summer of 2016\, selling out gigs at legendary hometown venues like the Troubadour\, Roxy and Viper Room\, supporting legends like the Doors’ Robby Krieger (who told them personally that he liked their music) and playing major rock festivals like Aftershock and Sonic Temple. At one gig\, they ran into John Fogerty who told them\, “It’s cool to see some rock & roll again.”  \nNow the group has recorded their first EP with producer Matt Wallace (Maroon 5\, Faith No More) at Los Angeles’ famed Sunset Sound Recorders. But even though they’ve been playing together for only a couple of years\, rock has been The Jacks’ lifeblood for as long as they can remember.  \nAs Wallace declares\, “The Jacks deliver up lean\, rugged rock & roll with songs that feel like instant classics that make you want to move\, with earworm hooks and melodies that will have you kinda upset when you find yourself unintentionally and inappropriately humming their songs at work\, in church\, in court\, or at wakes. If the Strokes\, Cage the Elephant\, and the Stones had an equally talented\, but more handsome baby\, it would be named The Jacks!”  \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | SoundCloud | Spotify | YouTube \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Mystic Braves
DESCRIPTION:The Mystic Braves embody a century of boundary-pushing Southern California creativity-from the birth of Hollywood in the early 1900s to the lysergic mania of the psychedelic ’60s to the pure-pop bliss of the ’80s Paisley Underground to the new wave of streetwise garage rock that’s right now blasting at top volume from some East LA nightclub. \nMystic Braves deliver that legacy in their records: last year’s The Great Unknown pares down their previous peregrinations-shelving the exotic instrumentation of 2015’s Days of Yesteryear and the fuzztone feedback of 2014’s Desert Island and 2013’s debut Mystic Braves-for classic\, unforgettable songwriting. It’s not that the Braves have abandoned the weird\, but rather the weird is now but another color in a prismatic palette. The Great Unknown finds bassist Tony Malacara and drummer Cameron Gartung pulling tempos like taffy and adding expansive backing vocals\, while rhythm guitarist Shane Stotsenberg and organist Ignacio Gonzalez fill in mesmerising sonic filigree. With his searing guitar and dreamy\, yearning voice\, bandleader Julian Ducatenzeiler steers the ship right and true. \nThey deliver that legacy in their lifestyle\, too. The band members spent their early days living and playing together in a two-bedroom Echo Park house that was also headquarters to Lolipop Records-the family label founded in 2013 that’s since become one of the prime movers of the international psych-rock scene. And while being embraced by LA’s music cognoscenti\, Mystic Braves went global via the fashion world when iconoclastic Yves Saint Laurent designer Hedi Slimane hand-picked them to soundtrack the luxury brand’s spring collection in Paris in 2015. \nThey bring that legacy to the stage\, as well. After playing countless shows across the U.S. & Europe over the years and performing at festivals like Desert Daze\, Burgerama and Austin Psych Fest-alongside acts such as the Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Zombies-they’ve developed their live act into a energized outburst of sing-along-able tunes\, tight instrumental interplay and all-around good\, gooey vibes. Like their sound in general\, their shows take well-studied composure right to the edge of barely controlled chaos. \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Bandcamp | Spotify | Apple Music \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:An Evening with Jill Andrews
DESCRIPTION:The stories of a woman often go untold. Her struggles are kept as secrets. Her victories\, discreet. Her pain\, polite and unobtrusive. History records the ones who break her heart and the ones who mend it\, yet it forgets the life and truth born in between. On Thirties\, acclaimed singer-songwriter\, Jill Andrews gives these unsung moments the voice they have always deserved.  \nFrom her days fronting lauded Americana group\, the everbodyfields\, to her successful solo career as a writer and performer\, Andrews’ music has taken her far from her East Tennessee home. She has collaborated and shared the stage with countless celebrated artists including the Avett Brothers\, Langhorne Slim\, Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors and the Secret Sisters\, and her music has been featured on Grey’s Anatomy\, The Good Wife\, Nashville\, Wynonna Earp and American Idol. Featuring emotional melodies\, intimate storytelling and vocals that soar even at a whisper\, Thirties is a deviation\, it resists contemplating the big\, loud questions of the world\, and rather\, invites listeners to look inward\, keeping us closer to home than ever before.  \nTenderly\, hauntingly and without fear\, Thirties chronicles Andrews’ journey through a decade rife with both beauty and brutality. She explores the isolation and joy of motherhood\, the loss not of a lover\, but a partner\, the experience of growing older in a world that expects you to stay young forever. With co-producer Lucas Morton and help from friends including Grammy winning songwriting duo Daniel Tashian and Ian Fitchuk\, Natlie Hemby and Andrews’ Hush Kids bandmate Peter Groenwald\, Thirties is at once profoundly intimate and artfully infectious\, evocative of greats Lucinda Williams\, Chrissie Hynde and Brandi Carlile.  \nAndrews lives in Nashville\, Tennessee with her children Nico\, Falcon\, and husband\, Jerred. Along with a full-color\, hard-cover companion book\, Thirties is slated for release on March 27.  \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:John Craigie
DESCRIPTION:This is a seated show. \nRenowned for his eloquent Americana style\, engaging live shows\, and off-the-cuff clever observations\, John Craigie carries on the legacy of classic singer-songwriters\, while blazing a trail of his own. \nRecently\, that trail twisted and turned into new territory for the Portland\, OR performer who The Stranger appropriately dubbed\, “the lovechild of John Prine and Mitch Hedberg.” His music speaks loud to both audiences and fellow artists. Todd Snider notably hand-delivered a gift on-stage\, and Chuck Norris has sent fan mail. His fifth full-length album\, No Rain\, No Rose boasted two collaborations with Gregory Alan Isakov\, namely “Highway Blood” and “I Am California.” Both quickly cracked 1 million Spotify streams and counting\, as his knack for a captivating narrative and rustic aural palettes powered the 13-track offering together. \n“It’s about transparency\,” he explains. “The storytelling enables listeners to relate. Really good music doesn’t make you feel good; it makes you feel like you’re not alone.” \nAs No Rain\, No Rose landed\, he caught the attention of none other than Jack Johnson. Through a serendipitous series of events\, Craigie’s 2016 live effort Capricorn in Retrograde… Just Kidding… Live in Portland landed in Johnson’s car stereo during a California coastal road trip. \nShortly after\, Jack reached out and Craigie soon found himself onstage for 12 shows during Johnson’s 2017 summer tour including performances at The Greek Theatre in Berkeley\, California and The Gorge in Washington state. Along the way\, he earned acclaim from SF Weekly\, Seattle Times\, AXS\, and more. Festival appearances also include Oregon Country Fair\, Kate Wolf Music Festival\, High Sierra Music Festival\, Burning Man\, and many others. \nWhen Craigie plays\, it’s one of those special shows that can make you laugh and cry in the same song. It’s a musical journey that can’t be denied. \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Bandcamp | SoundCloud | Spotify | YouTube | Apple Music \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Thank You Scientist
DESCRIPTION:Thank You Scientist is an eclectic\, vibrant and well-hydrated progressive rock band from New Jersey. Their upcoming album\, Terraformer\, sees the boy-ish septet at their most ambitious and most unpredictable. The band has taken their experimental\, genre-bending sound to the next level by delivering an extremely ambitious and constantly stimulating 84-minutes of experimental rock and roll music. Some might even say it’s the band’s Oop… I Did It Again. I’m saying it right now. Terraformer is the Oops… I Did It Again of progressive rock. \nFounded by guitarist and bandleader Tom Monda\, the band self-released the Perils of Time Travel EP in 2011\, before signing with Claudio Sanchez’s label Evil Ink Records. Their 2012 full length debut\, Maps of Non-Existent Places made it onto the Billboard Hard Rock and Heatseekers charts\, and was eventually named “Album of the Week” by Revolver Magazine in 2014. They followed up in 2016 with Stranger Heads Prevail\, which cracked the Billboard Top 200 and co-starred on “Home Improvement” with Tim Allen. \nIn addition to Tom Monda and vocalist Salvatore Marrano\, the bandʼs lineup has gradually evolved to include violinist Ben Karas\, bassist Cody McCorry\, drummer Joe Fadem\, trumpeter Joe Gullace and saxophonist Sam Greenfield. Thank You Scientist has spent the past several years touring internationally\, both as headliners and as direct support for acts such as Coheed and Cambria\, Periphery\, Haken\, Protest the Hero\, the Devin Townsend Project\, and Tim Allen. Terraformer is in stores NOW! \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Spotify | Apple Music \n\n\n	Related

DESCRIPTION:Produced by longtime collaborator Dan Horne (Circles Around The Sun\, Allah-Las)\, Mapache’s new album\, From Liberty Street\, captures the Los Angeles duo at their finest\, with Sam Blasucci and Clay Finch weaving airtight harmonies around stripped-down\, organic arrangements that blur the lines between traditional folk and modern cosmic country. The songs here reckon with longing\, desire\, and change\, and the arrangements draw on everything from Hawaiian-steeped surf and Mexican boleros (Blasucci spent two years living South of the border) to Bakersfield twang and lonesome cowboy campfire tunes\, all delivered with the kind of easygoing charm and natural intuition usually reserved for blood brothers or married couples. It’s an instantly engaging chemistry the two share\, a captivating musical bond that mirrors the comfort\, closeness\, and camaraderie of the album’s homespun roots. \n“This record is about as close to the sound of home as you can get\,” says Blasucci. “We recorded it with a bunch of our friends in the house where we were living in a neighborhood that we loved. The studio was right downstairs\, so we had the freedom to try all kinds of new ideas without any pressure or limitations. All the other folks who lived in the house were musicians\, too\, so it made for this communal atmosphere where everyone was always collaborating and creating together.” \nThe freedom of living where they recorded meant that Mapache could take their time experimenting with sounds and textures in the studio\, a far cry from the way the pair captured their self-titled debut\, which was cut live and raw around a single microphone. Praised by Aquarium Drunkard as sounding like “a blazed up Everly Brothers” and given a six-star review by UK magazine Shindig\, that record helped the band earn festival appearances from Hardly Strictly Bluegrass to Pickathon\, where Rolling Stone named their set one of the weekend’s top highlights\, as well as tour dates with Chris Robinson\, Beachwood Sparks\, and Mandolin Orange among others. The Boston Globe hailed the duo’s “intricate\, intertwined acoustic guitar and close harmonies wedded to simple\, plainspoken lyrics\,” while No Depression fell for their “lilting melodies\,” and Saving Country Music declared that the pair “can fill up a room with more soul soaring harmony than most symphonic assemblies.” The music also caught the attention of veteran indie label Yep Roc Records\, which recently reissued the group’s debut album in advance of From Liberty Street’s arrival. \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Instagram | SoundCloud | YouTube \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Kevin Krauter
DESCRIPTION:In music\, there’s often a tendency to focus on personal pain. It’s a useful shorthand for understanding how an artist got to where they are now\, but sometimes that heaviness doesn’t leave enough room for nuance and change. In his solo work\, the Indiana musician Kevin Krauter doesn’t flinch when staring down his past\, but he doesn’t get too obsessed with the dark stuff either.  \nIn 2018\, Krauter released Toss Up\, a quiet album that was built on intricate guitar riffs that looped back on themselves to create a feeling of sunlit calm. Krauter’s sophomore follow up\, Full Hand\, dives further into the world he’s created – one where songs are evocative of late afternoon light\, or dust settling on a creaky floorboard\, but with lyrics that probe Krauter’s personal life\, grappling with sexuality and religion\, while exploring what it means to grow up\, grow more critical\, and\, in turn\, more self-confident.  \nAcross 12 tracks\, Krauter tackles these emotional states and ideas through elliptical songwriting that is at once poetic and truthful. “A lot of the lyrics touch on how I was raised religiously\, touch on me understanding my sexuality more and more in recent years\,” Krauter says\, “just growing up and becoming more confident in myself…that process of looking inward and taking stock of myself.” It’s not especially uncommon for artists to probe deep into their own psyche to uncover what makes them tic\, but Krauter’s light touch feels like something all his own. On Full Hand’s first single\, “Pretty Boy\,” he sings\, “Look ahead\, say I see me now / Smiling at what used to stress me out / Cause it won’t be too long\, but I’ll take my time with it / It won’t be too long till I come back home.” There’s a palpable sense of joy in Krauter’s acceptance of dire\, stressful moments\, and a liberation that comes from hearing him realize that the present will eventually be the past\, and he’ll be able to look back and find peace.  \nThis sense of acceptance is the backbone of Full Hand\, both musically and lyrically. Krauter took stock of the different phases of his life – what he was listening to\, how he felt when he was a teenager – and welcomed all of it into his music. This meant that nothing was off-limits. All influences were fair game – from early-’00s emo to late ’90s radio rock – and his entire history\, instead of becoming something to be ignored or pushed aside\, became part of the patchwork of his music. “It’s nice to recognize that the instinct is there in me and all I have to do is say yes or no.”  \nAround the release of Toss Up\, Krauter shed light on his dominant artistic impulse toward overwhelmingly nice sounds that weave throughout lyrical meditations on personal growth. His vocal lilt on “Opportunity” is so warm\, so effortlessly pretty\, that you’ll almost miss moments of harsh truth like “Wake up to a morning so listless / come to\, sun is looming in.” By the end of the song\, Krauter is alone\, left behind\, looking at his life and wondering what he’s supposed to do next. “It’s an easy fallback to be self-deprecating or defeatist in whatever I was I writing\,” he says. “It was a challenge to myself to see how I could flip it the other way but also be real about it. I don’t want to make some sugary\, feelgood\, all payoff thing because that’s not what my life is like.”  \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Bandcamp \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Sammy Rae & The Friends
DESCRIPTION:Singer/songwriter\, bandleader\, and human being Samantha Bowers was born in the small town of Derby\, Connecticut. Sam first began writing songs at age 12 while taking piano lessons and listening to Bruce Springsteen\, Billy Joel and Freddie Mercury playing on the family stereo. By 16\, Sam developed a love of jazz and began to study the great female vocalists of the century (mainly Ella Fitzgerald\, Etta James and Sarah Vaughn) as she started to perform original compositions in local Connecticut and New Jersey venues. She would go on to write and release 3 LP records by the age of 18.  \nIn 2013 at age 19\, Sam packed up and moved to New York to pursue music and songwriting. In 2016\, The Friends were born from a collection of talented musicians and friends. Sammy Rae & The Friends would play shows around the NY Metro area as Sam kept composing and sharpening her craft\, culminating in the July 2018 release of the self-produced EP ‘The Good Life’\, premiered to a sold-out crowd at C’Mon Everybody in Brooklyn. The release marked a fresh start for the seasoned vocalist showcasing her skills as a composer\, arranger\, lyricist\, and bandleader on her fourth release. Since the release of their May single ‘Saw It Coming’\, The Friends have enjoyed 6 sold-out shows in New York at well-known venues such as Knitting Factory\, Bowery Electric\, DROM\, and Rockwood Music Hall. The lyrics focus on themes of coming-of-age\, defiance\, and self-expression. Her genre blending performances are high-energy\, honest and quirky\, influenced by the great performances of her childhood classic rock heroes.  \nIn short\, The Friends are the band. A rotating cast with some core all-the-time members. Their full band performances feature 9 pieces: a rhythm section\, a horn section\, keyboards\, and two back up singers\, all lead by Rae through high-energy vocals and an assortment of instruments. On a grander scale\, The Friends is the community of followers\, artists and creatives who help in the creation of the songs and the world. Merchandise item ‘The Official Friends Membership Card’ offers a goodie bag at every show\, drink deals\, discounted admission and invite-only after-parties. We don’t have fans\, we have Friends.  \nAppearances by SR&TF are fully conceptualized and contained shows with opening and closing themes offering the invitation ‘I Wanna Be Friends With Ya’\, sung interludes\, choreography\, and the occasional costume change or skit. The community of the band is tangible and the energy is contagious. Performances are safe spaces for our audiences to make Friends\, dress boldly and dance how they like. Described as ‘a celebration\, a revival\, and an inclusive community all in a rock and roll performance.’  \nThe mission statement of Sammy Rae & The Friends is made clear in the final remarks sung at every show: ‘Go put a smile on somebody’s face\, go tell somebody they’ve got a place in this world\, go tell somebody you wanna be Friends with them.’  \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Spotify | YouTube \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Ona
DESCRIPTION:With a true brotherhood that comes from growing up together\, indie rock band Ona merge all their musical history for their second album\, Full Moon\, Heavy Light.  \nThe band shares its name with a small town just outside of their home base of Huntington\, West Virginia. All five band members of Ona were raised in the area\, with a couple of guys knowing each other since grade school. By tapping into their own social circles\, the current line-up took hold in 2016: Brad Goodall (keys)\, Bradley Jenkins (vocals/guitar)\, Zach Johnston (bass)\, Max Nolte (drums)\, and Zack Owens (guitar). The band agreed on their name after Jenkins happened to wear an Ona Little League ball cap to rehearsal.  \nRecorded at various intervals over the course of 18 months\, Full Moon\, Heavy Light showcases a band that could easily deliver an arena show while still retaining the sincerity of the ’70s songwriters in their parents’ record collections. Wistful songs like “Summer Candy” and “Young Forever” are at once timeless and contemporary. The band says that they aimed to make a record that’s perfect for intensive listening on headphones as well as mood music for dinner parties with friends. The optimistic streak that runs throughout the project is both genuine and disarming.  \n“In the production\, I wanted people to recognize emotion\,” Jenkins says. “There’s a lot of ear candy that we snuck in there\, but it might be an album that you need to sit with. We want our audience to experience and feel the music. There are ups and downs\, and sometimes people might ignore those feelings\, but we want people to recognize every emotion.”  \n“When I like a record\, it’s because it makes me groove and it makes me smile\, or it makes me contemplative\,” says Johnston. “I just hope people will feel something when they hear it.”  \nOna built their following the old-fashioned way – through word of mouth\, lots of touring\, and a little bit of luck. For two years\, they played venues within a three-hour radius\, cultivating fan bases in Cincinnati\, Ohio\, and Lexington\, Kentucky\, in addition to West Virginia. Opening slots for Tyler Childers connected them to audiences hungry for indie music from the region.  \nIn addition\, West Virginia Public Broadcasting helped place a song from Ona’s 2016 debut album\, American Fiction\, on a broadcast of NPR’s Heavy Rotation. Then a programmer at SiriusXM’s The Loft chanced upon their debut album while looking around Bandcamp and invited them to tape a segment in Washington D.C. After that\, the esteemed PBS series Mountain Stage\, which is filmed in Charleston\, West Virginia\, asked them to film an episode.  \nHowever\, part of what makes Ona so unique is that their sound stands apart from the country and bluegrass heritage that the state is known for.  \n“I grew up in the woods\, but my dad only listened to glam rock\, so sometimes it’s hard for me to identify with the quintessential West Virginia image\,” says Nolte. “I spent a lot of time\, as a youth\, kayaking and exploring West Virginia’s rivers\, so I agree with everyone that it’s a beautiful state. But we don’t really exemplify it as a band\, as far as what we ‘should’ sound like to outsiders\, which I think confuses some people. We’re not stereotypical West Virginians and I think it’s important to shine a light on another aspect of the state as well.”  \nGoodall observes\, “Living in a place like Huntington does alleviate some time and money pressures. We had this great rehearsal space with so much square footage\, and we had the room and the time to develop our craft – to practice\, to record demos on our own. We had all the time in the world to develop the music\, which in the end is the most important thing.”  \nLinks: Website | Twitter | Instagram \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Alesana
DESCRIPTION:Positive Mental Attitude. This is the mantra that is not only a driving force for Raleigh\, North Carolina based Alesana\, but also a way of life. Celebrating eleven years as a band\, the pop-metal sextet is always in high spirits and accustomed to playing their hearts out every night when on the road. Countless US tours\, several trips around the world\, and seven major releases later\, Alesana is living proof that hard work and dedication to dreams can go a long\, long way. Calling Revival Recordings their home\, the band released the conclusion to their Annabel Trilogy in April 2015 with Confessions. Released in December of 2013\, the stand-alone single Fatima Rusalka progressed the band’s conceptual trilogy en route to its conclusion with Confessions. The song does what has come to be expected of the storytelling rock machine which is to draw from past influences while incorporating new possibilities\, dynamics\, and sonic exploration. Having spent time on Tragic Hero Records\, Fearless Records\, and Epitaph Records\, Alesana’s entire catalogue\, consisting of Try This With Your Eyes Closed\, On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax\, Where Myth Fades To Legend\, The Emptiness\, A Place Where The Sun Is Silent\, and Confessions\, has charted on the Billboard Top 200. In summer 2016\, Alesana released a special edition of Confessions including two new tracks along with a novella\, entitled Annabel\, which inspired The Annabel Triology. The album is available on all digital outlets now and the novella is available for purchase on Amazon Kindle now. \nIn 2017\, Alesana began working on the ulitmate fan project which they called Origins. Filled with hours worth of behind the scenes and never before seen footage\, demos\, and a brand new EP The Lost Chapters\, Origins was born as a visual history of the past thirteen years of the band. In early 2018\, Alesana released The Lost Chapters EP digitally. Origins bundles are currently available on the Revival Recordings shop page. The Lost Chapters EP is available to stream on all digital platforms and to purchase on iTunes now!  \nLinks: Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Apple Music \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Dylan LeBlanc
DESCRIPTION:Dylan LeBlanc is engaging and soft-spoken in person\, yet his striking new album Renegade reflects the power of his live show – one that he simply describes as rock ‘n’ roll. While the album was recorded in just 10 days and tracked in three\, the intensity of the project marks the culmination of more than a decade on the road.  \n“I like the idea of a renegade – branching off from society or from the structure of the way our world is designed\,” he says of Renegade\, his first album for ATO Records. “It felt right to call it that. I wanted to write about the crueler\, nasty aspects of the world and life.”  \nLeBlanc’s observations are woven through Renegade\, though he’s more interested in telling the story than judging the characters for their decisions. The title track\, he says\, is “about troubled cocky young men charming young women who were intrigued by that way of life\, only for it to end in tragedy. I saw this countless times growing up.” Later he writes about his personal efforts to become a stronger person in “Born Again\,” after a childhood of being bullied for his long hair and an adolescence marked by insecurity\, fear\, and anger.  \nLeBlanc considers the new album a departure from his past work\, but only because there’s more of an edge to these sessions\, recorded with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb in Nashville’s Studio A. This time around\, LeBlanc primarily stayed plugged in for the sessions\, giving Renegade a Tom Petty feel\, charged with a streak of ’80s rock. “I never really played electric guitar live in the studio like that\,” he says. “I’m so used to the rhythmic\, acoustic thing. It was just like playing in a show.”  \nSince 2016\, LeBlanc has toured with Alabama rock group The Pollies as his backing band. He’s known most of the band members since childhood\, growing up together in Muscle Shoals\, and considers them his closest friends. Because they’ve been playing songs on Renegade live\, it was only logical that the Pollies backed up LeBlanc in the studio\, too.  \n“They bring out a comfort in me to let loose\, let myself go a little bit more\, and get more immersed in the music\,” LeBlanc says. “It’s such a telekinetic thing\, because we’ve known each other for so long and we’ve played together a lot. It’s a band of guys that I know musically really well. They let me express myself creatively in a way that I probably wouldn’t be comfortable enough to do before.”  \nThese expressions are sometimes borne out of conversations with strangers\, such as the woman in “Domino” who shared her stories of prostitution with him\, or the man he met in New Orleans who inspired “Bang Bang Bang\,” whose life was dramatically altered by gun violence. On a more personal note\, “Damned” finds LeBlanc trying to wrap his head around religion\, while “I See It in Your Eyes” and “Lone Rider” capture the complications of relationships. One of the album’s quieter moments\, “Sand and Stone” is an effort to live in the present moment. As Renegade draws to a close\, “Magenta” evokes the slave history of a farm in Louisiana\, while “Honor Among Thieves” makes a powerful statement about ancestry\, immigration laws\, and land rights.  \nLeBlanc’s previous album\, 2016’s Cautionary Tale\, offered a satisfyingly mellow vibe in line with the ’70s musicians who influenced him. However\, once he started touring with the Pollies\, the sonic textures began to shift. Yet\, one of the strongest ties between the albums is LeBlanc’s blossoming confidence as a singer. The range and depth he showed as a vocalist on Cautionary Tale run throughout the 10 songs on Renegade.  \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:John Craigie
DESCRIPTION:A message from John Craigie:  \nIn the effort to keep us all safe and at our healthiest we are respecting the movement to avoid large crowd gatherings. March and April Craigie shows are currently postponed. We are working on rescheduling things asap. Please give us a little time to work things out. Unfortunately our Park City and Bozeman shows are unable to reschedule and are being cancelled. Rest assured I will get back to those areas as soon as I can. Refunds are available for those three shows and if you have tickets to the others they will be honored for the new dates . When it’s safe for us to gather again\, I’ll be right there ready to sing for you all. – John Craigie  \nThis is a seated show.  \nRenowned for his eloquent Americana style\, engaging live shows\, and off-the-cuff clever observations\, John Craigie carries on the legacy of classic singer-songwriters\, while blazing a trail of his own.  \nRecently\, that trail twisted and turned into new territory for the Portland\, OR performer who The Stranger appropriately dubbed\, “the lovechild of John Prine and Mitch Hedberg.” His music speaks loud to both audiences and fellow artists. Todd Snider notably hand-delivered a gift on-stage\, and Chuck Norris has sent fan mail. His fifth full-length album\, No Rain\, No Rose boasted two collaborations with Gregory Alan Isakov\, namely “Highway Blood” and “I Am California.” Both quickly cracked 1 million Spotify streams and counting\, as his knack for a captivating narrative and rustic aural palettes powered the 13-track offering together.  \n“It’s about transparency\,” he explains. “The storytelling enables listeners to relate. Really good music doesn’t make you feel good; it makes you feel like you’re not alone.”  \nAs No Rain\, No Rose landed\, he caught the attention of none other than Jack Johnson. Through a serendipitous series of events\, Craigie’s 2016 live effort Capricorn in Retrograde… Just Kidding… Live in Portland landed in Johnson’s car stereo during a California coastal road trip.  \nShortly after\, Jack reached out and Craigie soon found himself onstage for 12 shows during Johnson’s 2017 summer tour including performances at The Greek Theatre in Berkeley\, California and The Gorge in Washington state. Along the way\, he earned acclaim from SF Weekly\, Seattle Times\, AXS\, and more. Festival appearances also include Oregon Country Fair\, Kate Wolf Music Festival\, High Sierra Music Festival\, Burning Man\, and many others.  \nWhen Craigie plays\, it’s one of those special shows that can make you laugh and cry in the same song. It’s a musical journey that can’t be denied.  \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Bandcamp | SoundCloud | Spotify | YouTube | Apple Music \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Indigo De Souza
DESCRIPTION:Indigo De Souza is a multifaceted artist and band based in Asheville\, North Carolina. The band is fronted by Indigo as lead singer and guitarist\, and backed by Owen Stone (bass)\, Ethan Baechtold (guitar)\, and ​Jake Lenderman (drums)​. Encouraged and supported by her mother\, Kimberly Oberhammer\, Indigo began writing music when she was 9 years old and quickly began to embody her art\, taking to the stage at age 11. Since then\, she’s been writing heart-wrenching lyrics descriptive and expressive of her own internal landscape’s interaction with the power of interpersonal relationships- from caregivers to romantic interests. This is all highlighted in the band’s first full album\, ​I Love My Mom\, ​recorded by Colin Miller in 2018. Both the music and her artful lines captivate listeners and provide solidarity in the pain and beauty felt in the world\, providing an intimate and powerful listening experience. After her performance in early 2019\, Audiotree Live described the 22 year old as a\, “punky indie pop songwriter whose eloquent\, passionate persona sits at the forefront of her snarky tunes. She transfixes you with unabashed\, meaningful stories put to effortlessly catchy hooks and explosive instrumentation.”  \nOutside of the indie pop band\, Indigo also fronts a neo-soul project\, Icky Bricketts\, with Ethan Baechtold. Ethan and Indigo have co-written these songs and lovingly refer to the project as their “brain-child”. Icky Bricketts began as a recording project\, but has recently grown to include a dynamic and energizing live band. The extensive differences between these two projects illuminate the vast talent of the members of this group\, as well as the versatility of Indigo’s writing.  \nIndigo De Souza and Icky Bricketts plan to release new music in the near future.  \nLinks: Facebook | Instagram \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:An Evening with Jill Andrews
DESCRIPTION:The stories of a woman often go untold. Her struggles are kept as secrets. Her victories\, discreet. Her pain\, polite and unobtrusive. History records the ones who break her heart and the ones who mend it\, yet it forgets the life and truth born in between. On Thirties\, acclaimed singer-songwriter\, Jill Andrews gives these unsung moments the voice they have always deserved.  \nFrom her days fronting lauded Americana group\, the everbodyfields\, to her successful solo career as a writer and performer\, Andrews’ music has taken her far from her East Tennessee home. She has collaborated and shared the stage with countless celebrated artists including the Avett Brothers\, Langhorne Slim\, Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors and the Secret Sisters\, and her music has been featured on Grey’s Anatomy\, The Good Wife\, Nashville\, Wynonna Earp and American Idol. Featuring emotional melodies\, intimate storytelling and vocals that soar even at a whisper\, Thirties is a deviation\, it resists contemplating the big\, loud questions of the world\, and rather\, invites listeners to look inward\, keeping us closer to home than ever before.  \nTenderly\, hauntingly and without fear\, Thirties chronicles Andrews’ journey through a decade rife with both beauty and brutality. She explores the isolation and joy of motherhood\, the loss not of a lover\, but a partner\, the experience of growing older in a world that expects you to stay young forever. With co-producer Lucas Morton and help from friends including Grammy winning songwriting duo Daniel Tashian and Ian Fitchuk\, Natlie Hemby and Andrews’ Hush Kids bandmate Peter Groenwald\, Thirties is at once profoundly intimate and artfully infectious\, evocative of greats Lucinda Williams\, Chrissie Hynde and Brandi Carlile.  \nAndrews lives in Nashville\, Tennessee with her children Nico\, Falcon\, and husband\, Jerred. Along with a full-color\, hard-cover companion book\, Thirties is slated for release on March 27.  \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagramhttps://www.etix.com/ticket/p/3587265/an-evening-with-jill-andrews-carrboro-cats-cradle-back-room?cobrand=Cats%Cradle%2012 &partner_id=240https://www.etix.com/ticket/p/3587265/an-evening-with-jill-andrews-carrboro-cats-cradle-back-room?cobrand=Cats%Cradle%2012 &partner_id=240 \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Mattiel
DESCRIPTION:Watching her onstage\, that brown bob of hers whirling like a cyclone as she unleashes her brash and husky riot of a voice\, it’s hard to imagine Mattiel Brown was ever anything but a natural-born performer\, a tried-and-true self-empowered presence.  \n“Honestly though I never even believed I could do this\,” Mattiel\, one of rock’s most thrilling young talents\, says. Still\, dig deep and she’ll admit to those times when she’d let herself dream: of one day stepping onstage\, gripping that microphone and showcasing her skills. Then\, she imagined\, could at last let it all go\, unleash that deep-seeded passion of hers for melody and rhythm and intricate storytelling and channel her pent-up ferocity into something real and palpable and powerful.  \n“But\,” adds the singer\, whose youth was shaped by an eclectic range of music – from folk to punk and hip-hop – and who for years only sang by herself in private\, “I remember thinking all along\, “Yeah\, I would love to do that but it’s out of my wheelhouse\, right?” Mattiel pauses and smiles as if to say she now knows she was capable of becoming a masterful frontwoman all along. “I guess I just really had to break out of my skin.”  \nIt’s a damn good thing she did: following encouragement from Jack White during a chance encounter in Nashville with her chief musical inspiration and eventual touring partner\, Mattiel made the crucial decision to jumpstart her musical journey by writing and recording with Jonah Swilley and Randy Michael – two contributors who’s songwriting is rooted in gospel\, rock n’ soul\, hip-hop and new wave. Less than five years later Mattiel stands as one of the most singular and buzzed-about acts in rock music. She is no longer a teenager afraid to sing in front of strangers\, but rather performing for rapt audiences across the globe in the wake of her acclaimed eponymous 2017 debut LP\, released via Burger Records; wowing viewers with their fiery TV shows like last year on “Later… With Jools Holland” and more recently “Last Call With Carson Daly”. And now\, she’s gearing up to release her highly anticipated second album\, Satis Factory.  \n“It’s all still wild to me\,” Mattiel admits with a laugh of her whirlwind past two years. “It’s so incredible knowing I’ve invested my time in something that has really started to work.” Swilley chuckles when hearing of the singer’s typically humble take on the present day. Having become Mattiel’s most trusted musical ally and bandmate since they first began writing together in 2014\, he’s seen her evolution firsthand. “I believed in her from the get-go\,” Swilley says. “Because when you hear her sing” – a blend of Grace Slick and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins with the ferocity of a punk-rock head-Thrasher – “you instantly know it’s for real.”  \nMattiel\, for her part\, is hardly one to sing her own praises. But having seen their debut album (released on iconic indie Heavenly in the UK and Europe) be so embraced by such well- respected outlets like the BBC’s Radio 6Music \, even she can let herself admit her collaborators may have been right all along. “Randy and Jonah were so confident about how well my debut would be received\,” she recalls. “They were like\, ‘The real music fans are going to get this.’ And they were right.  \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Bandcamp \n\n\n	Related
