SUMMARY:Lauren Sanderson – Midwest Kids Can Make It Big Tour
DESCRIPTION:A message from Lauren: \n\nhi everyone <3 i can’t believe it’s been almost a year since the midwest kids can make it big tour was supposed to start. i really hoped these spring dates would work out\, but as you all know\, we’re still waiting for the day it’s safe enough for shows to come back. at this point\, it only feels right to officially cancel the tour and make sure you get your money back now. to everyone that bought a ticket or vip meet & greet\, THANK YOU sooo much for your support. i am dying to be able to see you all again and i cannot wait til the world goes back to normal so we can scream the lyrics at the top of our lungs again. you’ll be getting full refunds from your point of purchase so please reach out to them if you have any questions at all. hopefully there will be better news coming in the next months about summer / fall plans. til then\, stay safe\, stay tuned for new music NEXT MONTH\, and per request i setup a cameo if ya want a lil message from me while we wait. i love you all so so so much. keep trusting the universe. \nxx lauren \n\n  \nLauren Sanderson is a rebel with a cause. Ringing in the new year with her debut album\, Midwest Kids Can Make It Big\, this Indiana teaches us all a little something about believing in yourself and following your dreams. From sensual bops like “But I Like It” to cathartic apologies like “To The People I Hurt”\, she has seen praise from Zane Lowe’s Beats 1\, created an incredibly loyal cult fan base\, nailed numerous placements on Spotify’s New Music Friday\, and trust me… she’s just getting started.  \nHaving gone from being her own manager\, booking her own first tour and recording music in her bedroom closet to opening for FINNEAS on tour last fall and releasing her debut\, the DIY mogul is an exemplary case of dedication\, passion and self-assurance. Lauren’s dominant voice takes charges and as a savant with words\, she showcases her songwriting capabilities with her ability to inspire and release to the masses. Cut from the same cloth as Mac Miller and Lorde\, this girl is real\, unstoppable\, and it’s only going up from here.  \nVIP Information: \n\nMeet & Greet will be scheduled BEFORE doors open unless delayed due to unforeseen circumstances\nExact time and details will be emailed 3-5 days before\nContact info@future-beat.com for any VIP package questions\n\n\nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Spotify | YouTube | Apple Music \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Consider The Source
DESCRIPTION:Sci-fi fusion trio Consider the Source defy easy categorization. If intergalactic energy beings\, upon their initiation into an order of whirling dervishes\, built a pan-dimensional booty-shaking engine powered by psychedelic math…it would sound like a cut-rate CTS cover band. With their blend of progressive rock and improvisatory jazz\, soaked in Indian and Middle Eastern styles\, CTS blends disparate elements into an utterly original whole. A relentless touring schedule has earned them a fervent following around the world\, with fans ranging from jam-band hippies to corpse-painted headbangers. \nTheir latest album\, You Are Literally a Metaphor\, is the culmination of a fifteen-year musical journey. Packed with the same fury and dazzling virtuosity of their previous work\, Metaphor is also a portrait of three musicians reaching new levels of maturity. \nFrom the bluesy swing of “When You’ve Loved and Lost Like Frankie Has” to the ethereal electro-synths of “Sketches From a Blind Man”\, CTS’s minimalist pop instincts stand shoulder-to-shoulder with progressive metal and freewheeling improvisation in a true expression of their omnivorous musicality. Three of Metaphor’s nine songs are Eastern European traditionals\, but could easily be mistaken for the band’s original tunes\, so singular has their sound become. CTS retain their signature fiery maximalism while pushing the hooky\, anthemic songwriting to the forefront. Bassist John Ferrara’s new Taurus bass pedals and guitarist Gabriel Marin’s new custom Vigier double-neck guitar add new dimensions to the band’s already diverse sound. \nThis is an album born of comfort and growth. In the five years since World War Trio\, the band has toured extensively\, Marin and Ferrara have released side projects\, and drummer/percussionist Jeff Mann has gone from a relative newcomer to a road-hardened veteran. After all this time\, CTS knows how to create space for each other\, how to finish each other’s musical thoughts and sentences\, how to think as three individuals but speak with one voice. You Are Literally a Metaphor is a statement of confidence\, an assertion of identity from a band with no reservations and nothing to prove. \nCTS have performed in a half-dozen countries across three continents. They have shared the stage with a wide variety of artists\, including: Victor Wooten\, King Crimson Projekt\, Wyclef Jean\, Ozric Tentacles\, Soulive\, The Disco Biscuits\, Papadosio\, Turkuaz\, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong\, Wayne Krantz and many others. They have performed at festivals and events including: Electric Forest\, Peach Fest\, Gathering of the Vibes\, Resonance\, Summercamp\, Shakori Hills\, ProgDay\, and Progtober. You Are Literally a Metaphor is available at considerthesourcemusic.bandcamp.com \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Bandcamp | YouTube \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Steve Gunn\, Mary Lattimore\, & William Tyler
DESCRIPTION:For over a decade\, guitarist/vocalist Steve Gunn has been one the American music’s most pivotal figures – conjuring immersive and psychedelic sonic landscapes both live and on record\, releasing revered solo albums ranking high on in-the-know end of year lists\, alongside exploratory collaborations with artists as diverse as Mike Cooper\, Kurt Vile\, and Michael Chapman (whose most recent studio album he produced).  Gunn is known for telling other people’s stories\, but on his breakthrough fourth album\, The Unseen In Between\, he explores his own emotional landscapes with his most complex\, fully realized songs to date. The lyrics evoke voyages\, tempests (actual and emotional)\, and a rich cast of characters met along the way-the work of an artist finding a place of calm in the midst of a storm. Produced by frequent collaborator James Elkington and engineered by Daniel Schlett\, the immaculately recorded Unseen forces a reassessment of Gunn’s standing in the pantheon of the era’s great songwriters. \nSteve Gunn Links: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram \n\nMary Lattimore is a Los Angeles-based harpist. She experiments with effects through her Lyon and Healy Concert Grand pedal harp\, concocting half-structured improvisations which can include both ambient glitter and unsettling noise. Her first solo record\, the Withdrawing Room\, was released on Desire Path Recordings in 2014. The solo recordings that followed\, At the Dam and Collected Pieces\, were released by Ghostly International. \nMary has also recorded synth + harp duo projects with Elysse Thebner Miller (And the Birds Flew Overhead) and Jeff Zeigler (Slant of Light) and has co-written reimagined scores for the 1968 experimental silent film Le Revelateur\, directed by Philippe Garrel (who approved of the project)\, and the Czech New Wave classic Valerie and Her Week of Wonders\, and performed these scores live throughout the US with Jeff Zeigler and the Valerie Project\, respectively. She has contributed and written harp parts for such artists as Kurt Vile\, Thurston Moore\, Sharon Van Etten\, Meg Baird\, Steve Gunn\, the Clientele\, Hop Along\, Jarvis Cocker\, Karen Elson\, Ed Askew and Quilt. \nMary Lattimore Links: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Bandcamp \n\nOn January 25\, William Tyler returns with Goes West\, his follow-up to 2016’s Modern Country. Listen to first single “Fail Safe” now\, and pre-order Goes West on CD\, LP\, and limited-edition translucent green Peak Vinyl\, the latter of which includes a 24″ × 36″ full-color foldout poster of the Robert Beatty cover art. All pre-orders will receive Dispatches from Echo Magic\, an 8-song bonus CD available only in the Merge store or with the purchase of Goes West at your local independent record store\, while supplies last. Recorded with Scott Hirsch at Echo Magic West in Ojai\, CA\, the CD features early versions of five songs from Goes West plus three other tracks from the session that are only available here. \nWilliam Tyler Links: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Bambara
DESCRIPTION:Founded in Athens\, Georgia by twin brothers Reid and Blaze Bateh\, and bassist William Brookshire\, Bambara have been steadily attracting attention since the release of their 2013 debut. Earning praise from places like Pitchfork\, NPR\, VICE\, Bandcamp\, Spin\, DIY\, BrooklynVegan and The Quietus\, and touring non-stop in the US and Europe with like-minded artists like IDLES\, METZ\, Girl Band and Daughters\, the band released their most celebrated album to date in 2018 with Shadow On Everything\, a release that NPR dubbed a “mesmerizing western\, gothic opus.” Today\, Bambara are announcing their follow up Stray (due out via Wharf Cat on February 14th\, 2020)\, with the premiere of the album’s first single “Serafina” on the FADER. \nA thunderous squall of a song\, “Serafina” provides an arresting introduction to the album. Channelling the anarchic energy of The Birthday Party and Gun Club\, in combination with Reid Blateh’s dramatic lyrical style the track imbues the story of a pair suburban misfits with apocalyptic weight. Bambara’s rhythm section rattles and bursts behind a frantic descending guitar lead as Reid\, in a fraying baritone\, weaves a tale set in his home state of Georgia that acknowledges the history of the place with subtle Civil War allusions\, while conjuring an immediate atmosphere of backwoods unease. As Reid tells to FADER\, it’s a song built to communicate an unhinged energy. \n“Stray is a death-obsessed album\,” says Reid. “Most of the songs are about different characters’ futile attempts at living meaningful lives under the weight of imminent annihilation. I wanted “Serafina” to feel different. I wanted the song to radiate a sort of wild-eyed hope. A youthful disregard for death itself. Serafina and Sadie live exactly how they want to live\, exploring their love for one another before a backdrop of flames. The knowledge of their own mortality takes nothing from their enthusiasm for life. If anything\, they see it as a challenge they might one day overcome together. When they say\, “We’ll never die” I want it to feel like they might actually have a shot.” \nBambara are embarking on a UK tour that begins in Bristol at the Simple Things Festival on October 19th. Additionally\, they are today announcing a Brooklyn show at St. Vitus on November 8th and a full US tour in support of the album to take place in 2020. Full details can be found below. \nOne thing you won’t be able to avoid on Bambara’s Stray is death. It’s everywhere and inescapable\, abstract and personified. Death\, however\, won’t be the first thing that strikes you about the group’s fourth album. That instead will be its pulverising soundscape; by turns\, vast\, atmospheric\, cool\, broiling and at times – as on stand out tracks like “Sing Me To The Street” and “Serafina” – simply overwhelming \nThe album began when the band locked themselves in their windowless Brooklyn basement to write. Despite the success of their preceding full length\, Shadow On Everything\, Decisions were made early on to experiment with new instrumentation and song structures\, even if the resulting compositions would force the band to adapt their storied live set\, known for its tenacity and technical prowess. Throughout the songwriting process\, the band pulled from their deep well of creative references\, drawing on the likes of Leonard Cohen\, Ennio Morricone\, Sade\, classic French noir L’Ascenseur Pour L’Echafraud\, as well as Southern Gothic stalwarts Flannery O’Connor and Harry Crews. \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Instagram \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Call Me Karizma
DESCRIPTION:Minneapolis singer/songwriter/rapper Call Me Karizma makes visceral post-pop rooted in both hip-hop and punk. With his razor-sharp wordplay\, the 23-year-old artist offers an unfiltered look into his inner life\, delivering each song with an uncompromising honesty that’s earned him an exceptionally devoted fanbase. In that outpouring of feeling\, Call Me Karizma transforms pain into music with intense cathartic power\, and now receives at least a dozen DMs a day from fans declaring that his music has saved their lives. \nRiz started writing his deeply personal songs at age 12\, and later paid his way through college through touring. During his sophomore year\, he had a major break when Mod Sun invited Riz to join him on a 35-date run also featuring blackbear. That tour hugely broadened Riz’s diehard following\, many of whom have shown their love and gratitude via tattoos of Call Me Karizma’s logo and lyrics. \nIn 2016\, Call Me Karizma made his full-length debut with Uninvited\, which reached the top 10 on the iTunes Alternative chart. The album includes “F U TILL I F U”-a track that’s amassed over 10 million streams on Spotify\, entirely on the strength of its undeniable hook and blunt but tender storytelling. \nAt the start of 2018\, Call Me Karizma began working on his three-EP series The Gloomy Tapes. With the first installment arriving in June-and quickly leading to his record deal with Sony globally-The Gloomy Tapes bears a raw vitality that makes each lyric all the more impactful. \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Song Traveler’s Writer’s Night
DESCRIPTION:Karyn Oliver is part Joan Osborne\, a touch of Janis Joplin and a bit of Emmylou Harris – effortlessly oscillating from bluesy to country and back. Her musical inspirations come primarily from the eclectic mix of music to which she was exposed while growing up in the musically diverse culture of Washington\, D.C.  \nIn 2009\, Karyn moved to a town called Boring\, MD with a broken heart and a cheap guitar. It was from this place that she created her first solo album\, Red Dress\, that earned her Kerrville New Folk Finalist and Falcon Ridge Emerging Artist in 2011\, as well as 2010 Mid-Atlantic Song Contest winner. In 2011\, Oliver moved to New York City\, with a renewed heart and a better guitar. It is from this place that she created her latest solo album\, Magdalene\, and became a Kerrville New Folk Finalist for a second time in 2016.\n2017 brought Oliver to North Carolina\, where she is steeping herself in the great writers of the South\, and recorded a new album\, “A List Of Names”.\n“A List Of Names” is currently charting on both Folk (#8 in February!) and Americana radio.\n“The fire of a Folk musician is at the heart of the stories on ‘A List of Names.’ (The CD) shifts sounds\, blending diverse styles guided by the vocal drive of Karyn Oliver.”  �- The Alternate Root \n___________ \nBarry Gray has been writing songs since he was a teenager\, but only sharing them with others outside of his family for the last five years or so.  His songs are deeply personal and tap into common human emotions and struggles.  Making a difference in the lives of those close to you\, both while you’re here and after you’re gone\, is a common theme.   He’s constantly in search of a way to capture the precious moments all humans share.  Barry was the 2018 recipient of the NC Arts Council Songwriting Fellowship.  Winning the Songwriting Fellowship allowed him to record his first record ‘Footsteps’ which he released in November2018.  ‘Footsteps’ meshes his sweet songs\, heartfelt vocals\, and tender guitar playing with perfectly placed contributions from a very talented group of NC musicians to produce a harmonious work.  You’ll hear Barry’s originals as well as covers of local and legendary artists at his shows. \n___________ \nWyatt Easterling\nA multiplatinum songwriter and producer\, Wyatt Easterling is a master storyteller and nowhere is this more apparent than on his latest record\, Divining Rod\, the top #5 Folk album in the month following its release in 2017. Back Porch Radio has also recognized Divining Rod as one of the top 25 folk albums of the year for 2017. This collection captures Easterling’s folk roots\, carving hope from heartache while spinning tales of return\, redemption\, and reclamation. With his smooth vocals and gritty lyrics\, punctuated by intricate guitar work\, Wyatt knows his way around a song and how to deliver it. Wyatt is currently in the studio recording a new album scheduled for a 2020 release. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Tyler Ramsey
DESCRIPTION:As the naturalist John Muir wrote\, “In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.” It is for this reason that musician Tyler Ramsey goes into the woods when he is writing\, and why he and his wife have settled on a plot of land many miles outside of the nearest city of Asheville\, North Carolina\, to raise their young daughter. For Ramsey\, living deliberately and with a little space\, removed from distractions and the allure of needless consumption\, is how he feels most creative and at ease. And while writing For the Morning\, his first album since 2011’s The Valley Wind\, Ramsey tapped into that insulated world where imagination flourishes and sounds for mining are plentiful to create his most realized and regal work yet. \nThe Ramsey home is surrounded by mountains\, fields\, and trees\, and a small river winds through it all. Wild animals live in the family’s forest\, paying daily visits to sing their own songs. Ramsey’s hand-built music studio affords him a shelter from the cacophony or a chance to join the chorus\, depending on whether or not he has the windows open. The things he does at home are the things he sings about in his songs-neither costumed nor fabricated-and in keeping with his deliberate existence\, he clarifies that his lifestyle is not a badge to be worn but simply his preference. \n“Spending my time here in North Carolina\, swimming in the stream and walking around in the woods\, it’s part of my character as a musician\,” Ramsey says. “We live out in the country\, I built my own studio. Out here\, you have the ability to take your time and work on things slowly and comfortably. These are reasons why the music I make sounds like it does.” \nFor the Morning is filled with instrumentation connecting the listener to this setting: radiant acoustic piano and stark\, dexterous guitar fingerpicking; lilting\, poignant pedal steel and gentle\, babbling beats that mosey rather than rush. We are transplanted to Ramsey’s woods even before any words can take us there. But\, as he reveals\, the process that brought the album to life wasn’t just one sunny stroll in the pines-a newborn baby and a professional musician’s touring schedule create their own challenges. So\, it was up to Ramsey to find a balance\, and he learned to take advantage of any fleeting moments of stillness whenever possible\, while also using his time on the road as its own form of inspiration. \nFor the Morning comes together seamlessly as a cohesive work from a master songwriter and musician. “Breaking A Heart” joins the aforementioned “Dream of Home” as a standout\, with sublime piano chords and beautiful guitar playing urged along by upbeat drum tracks\, Ramsey’s pristine vocals left hanging in the air like mist. The lament of the former tune is one not uncommon in Ramsey’s work\, and he notes that many of his favorite songs-his own or by others-are dotted with sadness. “I do gravitate toward sad music\, and heartbreak is a part of the songs I write\,” he says. “Writing a song is this huge emotional release and it can be very intense. There’s a lot of melancholy in what I do.” \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Instagram | SoundCloud | Spotify | YouTube | Apple Music \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Heart Bones
DESCRIPTION:Heart Bones is a rare thing-a new band with a long history-which heightens both expectations and standards. See\, I think that when a new thing\, a creative thing\, clicks into place just right and does so immediately on a level that you just know and feel is true all at once\, often it’s all the little ways it dares to be just a little bit off that actually makes it work. And striking this ideal ratio of The Familiar and The New is the specialist’s true skill. This is exactly how Heart Bones excels. \nIt’s not hard to imagine that they shouldn’t exist at all: Sabrina Ellis and Sean Tillmann are obviously both tirelessly bustling and juggling and geographically separated by the entire height of the middle of the country. But put on their debut album Hot Dish and as soon as Sabrina’s first line enters\, completing the inversion of Sean’s first line which has just spun your head around\, the collaboration feels inevitable. Inevitable like\, “Damn\, right. Heart Bones. Guarding the center of vulnerabilities. Why do we have things called chest cavities instead of heart bones?”  The anatomical warping of their name makes more sense given how fragile our meaty bodies actually are.  \nBoth in concept and approach\, Sean and Sabrina share many commonalities: long histories of genre warping and adopting evolving personas to embody these progressions\, celebrating wildness and theatricality night after night throughout grueling tour schedules. And all this expressed in the persistent tension of dark themes made melodious\, a move that the true specialist knows will always make the struggle for balance feel deep and real.  \nIn hindsight\, Sean’s evolution seems so linear: his earliest band Calvin Krime dared to be fun in a subculture steeped in angst. And after it disbanded\, he sanded down the angular edges and stepped more clearly into a front-man role in Sean Na Na. But it was only the emergence of his alter ego Har Mar Superstar-at first pretending to be his own brother-that gave him the cover to risk fully expressing himself freely. The depths of his impulses came to play on the surface; the constant tensions of silliness and sincerity struck as immediate and true and deeply felt and always fun; stripping down to one’s skivvies isn’t only sexy\, it’s sexy because of the openness and vulnerability it represents. Over the course of 20 years\, it evolved from beats on a MiniDisc player to a seven-piece soul revue without the continuity of his character ever coming across as inconsistent\, a testimony to the acumen of his voice and his knack for hooks. \nAnd down in Austin\, Sabrina was carving their own unique path and persona. They perfected their glam snarl for a decade with the anthemic and brassy A Giant Dog\, their performances cocky\, provocative\, and raw. Then tempered and expanded that range by fronting the epic collective Sweet Spirit\, who blend party-strut disco and earnest classic rock like if you could extract whatever is London out of Queen and replace it with Texas.  \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | SoundCloud | Spotify | YouTube | Apple Music \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Knuckle Puck
DESCRIPTION:Despite its title\, the second album from Knuckle Puck isn’t a reinvention; rather\, Shapeshifter is the sound of the Chicago-based pop-punk band taking their best qualities and honing them to make them even sharper. The songwriting became tighter and more deliberate\, the lyrics more introspective and urgent-without losing an ounce of the sweat-soaked authenticity and passion that made their debut album\, Copacetic\, so captivating. \nAbove all\, it’s an album that proves the band are unflinchingly unwilling to compromise when it comes to their art. That’s evident on first single “Gone\,” perhaps the most fully realized Knuckle Puck song to date. It’s equal parts muscular and melodic\, textured with keyboards\, buzzsaw guitars and a buoyant chorus that will integrate seamlessly into the band’s raved-about live show. \n“When you reach early adulthood and start to see your life take shape\, it’s also important to shape your identity and break yourself free from anything that might be holding you down\,” guitarist Nick Casasanto explains. “I hope the album instills a little bit of hope in people. I hope people realize they should consume the things that really speak to them. Through that\, I feel like it’s the most satisfying way to be who you want to be.” \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Spotify | YouTube | Apple Music \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Palehound
DESCRIPTION:The third full-length from Boston-based trio Palehound\, Black Friday\, is a finespun exploration of all the forms that love can take: love between friends\, love for people no longer in your life\, love in the face of self-hate\, love that endures through major life changes or through many tiny catastrophes. With her thoughtful narrative voice\, Palehound singer/songwriter Ellen Kempner imbues each song on the album with a radical sensitivity\, an unchecked depth of feeling that ultimately sparks a greater open-heartedness within the listener. \nCo-produced by Kempner and Gabe Wax (Beirut\, Soccer Mommy)\, Black Friday follows 2017’s A Place I’ll Always Go — a widely acclaimed release that landed on many year-end best-of lists. In creating the album\, Kempner and her bandmates Jesse Weiss (drums) and Larz Brogan (bass) recorded at Panoramic House in Stinson Beach\, California\, tracking most of the songs live and breathing a new vitality into Palehound’s elegantly detailed sound. \nUnrestrained in emotion but subtle in sonic flourish\, Black Friday opens with the stripped-back intensity of “Company\,” the first of many songs conveying a profound longing for a lost friend. From there\, Palehound shift into the joyful wonder of “Aaron\,” a song Kempner wrote for her partner in the midst of his transitioning process. “It’s about the past year of him coming out and me helping him through that\, and just watching him grow so much\,” she says. With her hushed yet urgent vocals\, Kempner reveals her ability to draw so much power from a single word\, turning “Aaron” into an indelibly tender expression of devotion and love. \nPalehound examine the intricacies of friendship and partnership all throughout Black Friday\, handling the subject with a level of attention rarely found in pop songs. On the quietly hypnotic title track\, Kempner captures the specific ache of uneven emotional investment between friends\, framing her plaintive acceptance in particularly barbed lyrics (“You’re Black Friday and I’m going to the mall”). And on “Worthy\,” Palehound speak to the challenge of navigating self-confidence issues in relationships\, and delicately showcase Kempner’s lyrical finesse (“And I’ve won over your mother\, darling/And I’ve won over your sister too/And I won over your father\, darling/And I still don’t feel worthy of you”). \nWhile much of Black Friday unfolds with palpable compassion\, “Killer” takes on a vengeful mood as Kempner recounts a fantasy of doing away with a friend’s abuser. “It came from being so fed up with people who feel like they can take advantage of others sexually or physically or emotionally to get ahead or get what they want\, and just wanting to destroy that culture in general\,” she says. On the following track\, Palehound continue their contemplation of abuse with “Where We Live” — a striking piece of spoken word from New York City-based poet Melissa Lozada-Oliva; its gritty yet dreamlike storytelling set against Kempner’s sprawling guitar work. \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Bandcamp | Spotify \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Eno Mountain Boys
DESCRIPTION:Hailing from Hillsborough\, North Carolina\, The Eno Mountain Boys have been cranking out a charismatic brand of pop-punk infused alternative country rock for more than a decade. Journeying through marriage\, fatherhood\, lineup changes\, road life\, loss\, addiction and the new beginnings of sobriety\, EMB has crafted honest\, original tunes along the way that reflect the ups and downs of growing up embedded in the ever-shifting rock and roll lifestyle\, framed beautifully by the rolling hills and gritty backwoods of Orange County\, NC. \nOriginally formed by lead vocalist Dillon Shambley in 2011 as a folk/country act\, they have since been perfecting their blend of pulsating classic rock and whiskey-drenched blues for seven years\, culminating in a sound that is truly their own. Members include: Dillon Shambley (lead vocals/guitar)\, Chris Jones (lead guitar)\, Matt Smith (bass)\, Drew Ely (keys)\, Bryan Phelps (guitar/vocals)\, and Alex Constantine (vocals/drums).   \nTheir 2015 inaugural album Deer Velvet\, is a soulful reflection of personal woes and challenges of life met with drums and guitars that stomp over and into each other\, like the sonic equivalent of a speeding race-car. There is a lot of Southern rock married to a lot of gritty punk\, sewn together by unforgettable lead vocals from Shambley that are as convincing as they are alarming. When he croons “I’m gonna die if I stay  a drinking man” on “Drinkin’ Man” you know he’s onto something. And more importantly\, you know it works.  \nIn 2017\, their Our Name’s to Blame EP showcased a series of songs that revealed a stylistic maturation into their more Memphis-rock instincts. Opening track “Hate Everyone” opens with stadium-ready guitar and drums\, and builds into an anthemic chorus. Memorable solos from lead guitarist Chris Jones and smoother\, summery vocals from Shambley create an ear-worm landscape that is that energized\, road trip with the windows down sing along music.  \nAll of their music lends itself to participatory dancing live shows\, which they frequently play around the Triangle. Stayed tuned on Facebook and follow the guys on Instagram for show dates and release announcements. \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Hembree
DESCRIPTION:Hembree\, one of NPR’s Spotlight Artists and Rolling Stone’s “Best Band We Saw at SXSW”\, released their debut album House On Fire in April 2019 on Nashville’s esteemed Thirty Tigers. Isaac Flynn\, the band’s vocalist and primary songwriter\, calls the songs on House on Fire “scrappy\,” a production vibe that that matches the grit of the lyrics and stories he is telling. The songs retain a high production value but possess the toughness and authentic character of the region from which they were created.  \nThe first single\, “Culture\,” begins with a sonic storm of synth and drum beats while Flynn sings “the king of the culture is never really free” as a mantra. The song was influenced by sampling and Flynn points to the boundary-pushing production\, rhythm\, and pastiche of hip-hop as a strong influence on Hembree’s sound.  \nThe ten songs on Hembree’s debut reveal a band filled with the confidence that is required of those who sound self-assured while discussing themes of indecision and uncertain identity.  \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Shaun Martin of Snarky Puppy\, Electric Kif
DESCRIPTION:Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility.(Saint Augustine) Yes\, Shaun Martin has a natural gift that has been evident since he began playing drums in church at the age of 4. Yes\, his mother had the vision to arrange piano instruction from Carolyn Campbell and guide him on his path. Yes\, he has several Grammys from his work with Kirk Franklin and the gospel powerhouse God’s Property and Yes\, he has a Grammy that crowns his many years with jazz fusion phenomenon Snarky Puppy. But you will not find this information in discussion with this gently powerful man because he wears none of this on his sleeve. \nShaun Martin has been playing\, creating\, and collaborating for most of his life\, yet his contributions go much further than just playing. When you move through the projects that Shaun has been a part of you can feel his style and influence; you can sense his presence throughout the compositions. Shaun’s willingness and ability to be a subtle part of each band has allowed him to be part of the very foundation. \n​Seven years ago Shaun began a project of his own. A story of his life\, a contribution to the world of music from his eyes (and ears). In demand by many\, Shaun took his time with the album as the story expanded to include a wider range of experience. And so\, on July 7th 2015\, Mr. Martin presented to the world SEVEN SUMMERS – a big chapter in the history of the great Shaun Martin. Seven Years. Seven Summers. \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | SoundCloud | YouTube \n\nElectric Kif are a Miami-based power quartet that explore the boundaries between rock\, jazz fusion and electronic drum & bass. Made up of bassist Rodrigo Zambrano\, keyboardist Jason Matthews\, drummer Armando Lopez and guitarist Eric Escanes\, the “Kif” describe their music as “post-nuclear\,” a dynamic mash of hard hitting groove\, high octane riffs and cosmic melody.  \nOn September 17th\, Miami’s most in-demand fusion band are set to release their newest album\, JEFE\, an arrival point in the evolution and sweetening of the band’s unique chemistry. Known for their aptitude of seamlessly dipping in and out genres\, Electric Kif approach their latest work in symmetry\, where no one individual takes charge over the other.  The result is a textured sound of infectious rhythm\, grooving low-end\, edgy rock guitars and an analog spectrum of experimental keyboards.  With JEFE\, Electric Kif set out to cover a vast area of music\, an innovative spirit that reflects influences of Weather Report\, Radiohead & JoJo Mayer’s Nerve. \nNotable past performances include Ground Up Music Festival\, Rochester International Jazz Festival\, Miami Downtown Jazz Festival\, and more. Performance highlights have also included opening for artists like Snarky Puppy\, Ghost-Note\, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe\, The Motet\, Stanley Jordan and many others. In addition\, the band has had some fantastic guest appearances at their monthly Miami residencies with Cory Henry\, Michael League\, Roosevelt Collier\, Mark Lettieri\, and other top notch musicians. \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:The Mattson 2
DESCRIPTION:Mattson 2 are Jared and Jonathan Mattson\, identical twins who have been collaborating almost literally from birth. They grew up in San Diego\, CA\, where in middle school they started playing music; decades later\, they had earned Master’s degrees in Music from the University of California Irvine. They formed their psych-jazz group Mattson 2 in 2003\, and released their first album\, Introducing the Mattson 2\, in 2009. Subsequent releases include collabs with pro skaters Ray Barbee\, Tommy Guerrero\, Farmer Dave (of Kurt Vile)\, and Money Mark (of Beastie Boys). Since then\, they’ve released an album with Chaz Bear – 2017’s Star Stuff\, recorded under the name Chaz Bundick Meets The Mattson 2 and which peaked at #1 on the Billboard contemporary jazz charts – and reinterpreted Coltrane’s legendary A Love Supreme which Jazz Times said “manages to hold Coltrane’s revered album in the highest esteem while absolutely shredding it to pieces.” Paradise\, their 8th record\, marks the first time that the brothers have added vocals. The album is a masterful piece of psych-jazz\, conceptually elegant and thrilling it its execution. \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Black Lips
DESCRIPTION:The story of the Black Lips began in Dunwoody\, Georgia\, a quiet\, conservative suburb of Atlanta\, in the year 1999. Born of a mutual love of Link Wray\, The Stooges\, and The Ramones\, and sealed through a shared dedication to defiance\, the band formed after childhood friends Jared Swilley and Cole Alexander were kicked out of Dunwoody High for separate\, yet equally bad\, behavior. The former classmates took their love of music and restless energy and channeled it into their newly found free time\, and joined by friends Ben Eberbaugh and Joe Bradley\, the Black Lips started playing shows around Atlanta\, at house parties and bars. They spent this time honing their sound – garage rock infused with blues\, psychedelia\, and punk\, plus a healthy dose of reckless abandon – and released their first 7-inch\, “Ain’t Coming Back\,” in 2002 on Die Slaughterhouse records (named in homage to the flophouse den they called home). Shortly before the band was set to head out on their first ever national tour\, Eberbaugh was tragically killed by a drunk driver. Devastated but determined to carry on in Eberbaugh’s honor\, the Black Lips hit the road as a trio just a few days later. \nIt’s been 15 years\, but that passionate dedication to touring has never left the band. The Black Lips have released eight full-length albums since that first tour\, and have traveled the country and the world extensively\, making a name for themselves as an electrifying\, must-see live act. It helps that the same mischievous spirit that helped speed up their exit from the educational system is still very much alive\, thriving in its new environment on stage\, resplendent with punk rock theatrics and miscellaneous bodily fluids\, amongst other things. The band’s energy and unique “flower punk” sound helped them build a rabid fan base\, and after releasing their first two albums through Bomp!\, they put out the critically celebrated Let It Bloom on In The Red records. This record garnered the Black Lips features in Spin and Rolling Stone\, and they were soon signed to Vice Records\, subsequently releasing Los Valientos Del Mundo Nuevo\, an ambitious album recorded live at a bar in Tijuana\, Mexico\, in February of 2007. \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Spotify | YouTube \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:The Brook & The Bluff
DESCRIPTION:Established in Birmingham\, AL\, The Brook & The Bluff is a four-piece band that consists of front man Joseph Settine\, drummer John Canada\, guitarist Alec Bolton and bassist Fred Lankford. \nThe Brook & The Bluff have quickly become recognized for their evocative blend of instrumental talent and vocal harmony. These elements are readily apparent in the band’s debut track\, “Masks.” Having initially gained momentum via Spotify\, the song has helped spur the band forward in their musical pursuits. \nThe group’s first year as a full band was widely successful. From charting on Spotify’s US and Canada Viral 50 Playlists\, performing at the NAMM shows in both Nashville and Anaheim\, and selling out shows in Atlanta\, Birmingham\, Huntsville\, Nashville\, Auburn and more\, the band has had an exhilarating start. \nOriginally an acoustic duo\, Alec and Joseph started turning heads in local venues with clean vocals and expert guitar work. John and Fred noticed the talent and potential of the duo and joined the group\, expanding their sound with driving rhythm and four-part harmonies. The band instantly locked in and have been playing together ever since. \nAs The Brook & The Bluff head into fall/winter of 2019\, The Brook & The Bluff continue to grow their fanbase across the country. The Brook & The Bluff’s debut full length album\, FIRST PLACE\, will be released in October 2019 and the band will be on tour for both headline and support shows nationwide to promote the new music. \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Instagram | SoundCloud | Spotify | YouTube \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:TIM BARRY
DESCRIPTION:The first time one of his friend’s fathers saw singer/songwriter Tim Barry perform\, he summed up his thoughts with a Yogi Berra-worthy declaration: “You’re old-timey in a modern way.” \nThat’s a near perfect description for the artist who sums up his latest solo release\, Lost & Rootless in a single word: WOODEN. “That’s the feel that I was going for when I picked the songs\,” says Barry. “There’s violin\, voice\, a wooden resonator guitar…there’s a very subtle electric bass on one track\, but otherwise I wanted to do a wooden record.” \nTo create that stripped-down\, earthy sound\, Barry (along with sometime accompanists Josh Small and sister Caitlin Hunt) selected an equally wooden venue: his own shed\, mic’d up and MacGyvered with blankets\, bits of carpet\, and pallets for soundproofing. This gave Tim an opportunity musicians are rarely afforded: the ability to record any moment that inspiration struck\, without racing the clock or pulling out the wallet. “It’s not always relaxing in the studio unless you have so much loot you don’t care how much time you spend in there. To be able to go into my shivering cold shed and play music whenever it hit me was pretty awesome\,” he says. \nOpening Lost & Rootless with the forlorn “No News From The North” (drawn from 2005’s solo debut Laurel Street Demos\, one of which he has re-recorded for each subsequent release)\, Barry then unspools twelve more songs toggling between spare soliloquies and toe-tappers\, telling tales of sadness and of celebration\, and portraying the narrator as both partier and poet. \nWith a cohesive musical feel\, a vivid cast of characters\, and not one but two mentions of his own daughter Lela Jane\, one might think there’s a larger tale being told here. Don’t spend too much time trying to tie it all together\, though: “I’m not bright enough to make a concept record!” Tim exclaims. “Going all the way back to the early days of my music\, I just write what’s around me\, what I feel\, who I know.” \nThe album is thick with examples of that that autobiographical (and auto-geographical) writing style\, featuring references to Richmond’s Laurel Street\, its Manchester neighborhood\, and the James River (each also calling back to Barry’s past recordings). His surroundings also set the scene for one of the album’s story song highlights: “Solid Gone\,” about one family’s fight to survive outside the confines of the law. Tim notes that the subject matter reads a bit like a country music stereotype\, “But that’s what it’s about: drugs\, guns and family. I’m not sure the average fan of Willie Nelson would like it\, but it’s what happens in the state of Virginia.” \nThe one song on the album that’s not drawn from Barry’s background or environment is a reverent cover of “Clay Pigeons” by the late Austin musician Blaze Foley (the subject of the Lucinda Williams song “Drunken Angel”). Originally turned on to the song via a mixtape from a friend\, Tim quickly became obsessed. “It was just TOO GOOD\,” he stresses. Seeing that the song only had a paltry number of YouTube views\, “I started asking everyone I knew if they knew the song. Only two people out of maybe twenty did\, so I said\, “F*** that\, I’m recording this!” \nOf course\, the challenges of making an album don’t end with the recording: figuring out the best order for the songs is another chore entirely. In keeping with his old-school approach to creating the music\, Tim took to a slightly vintage sequencing method. “My favorite part of the entire recording project is using cassette to sequence the album\,” he says. “I really believe in listening beginning to end\, and it forces me to listen all the way through. Then if I want to change it\, I’ve got to sit down with the CD and hit play and record and do it all over again.” \nLinks: Website | Facebook \n\n\n	Related
