In a time when he was spiritually and artistically aimless, Family Worship Center’s shamanistic figurehead Andy Krissberg took a brief hiatus from creating music. He embarked on a freewheeling, soul-searching journey inspired by the late ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax. Krissberg visited remote places across the country, creating field recordings of musicians he met straight to vinyl […]

Kate Coleman may be front and center in Run Katie Run, but the band’s new album, Cowboy Boots with Fishnet Tights, which came out out April 28th, deeply reflects the community surrounding her. Its 13 Americana/roots-rock tracks cover the good, the sad, the inspired, and the tired — and everything in between — about relationships […]

There’s just a good ol’ early aught punk rock basement party energy to “Semi-Pro” from Southern California’s Buddha Trixie that you just can’t find out there that much anymore. They waste no time with a drawn-out introduction. The guitarist slams out a distorted chord to act as a click in and the whole band speeds […]

On their new single, Forager will hit you with some groove-heavy soul pop on “Fuji or a Trek”, but there’s definitely more to this band than a simple genre label. The singer is naturally a gorgeous alto, but playfully and stylistically can hit all kinds of higher notes throughout the infectious melodic movement. The real […]

It feels like old-school country revivalist Casey James Prestwood might just really echo the Gram Parsons vibe that so much of his music and photographs radiate. With a mix of colorful openheartedness, effervescent country, and honky-tonk whirl of days gone by; Prestwood surely has a place at the lineup card with Colter Wall and Charley […]

On John Hollywood’s new track “The Jar” he uses lo-fi production and tone to draw the listener’s ear into what could’ve just been another folk song. There’s a lot more to this one than just another matter-of-fact Americana song in the style of John Prine that’s been popular since the success of his self-titled Album. […]

There’s a simplicity that accents strength in the songwriting on Brandon Carswell’s new single “Unkind.” There’s no more instrumentation than there needs to be. With just an acoustic guitar, tasteful drummer, lead guitar towards the end, and a big round bass tone Paul McCartney would be proud of. Melodically and in chord progression the song has […]

WRONGER’s 10 tracks ride a giddy trail […]

With the rise in recent years of the Americana movement spreading to sold-out amphitheaters (Jason Isbell, Avett Brothers), a couple of legacy bands have benefited the most: The Grateful Dead and The Band. While the first one has its share of tribute bands and sold-out collaborations with remaining members; The Band today only has Robbie […]

In tumultuous times there is a tendency to turn inward; however, self-examination can yield a limited perspective. It’s through the mosaic of perspectives that a clearer and more revealing picture begins to emerge. After over two decades of releases with the fan-adored band Gameface, Jeff Caudill returns with a new project, Low Coast, and a […]

For the first time in nearly two decades, Les Claypool’s Frog Brigade reared its head for its first live performance since 2005.
