PREMIERES

The idea of a contemporary troubadour seems far-fetched, given that everyone records and posts every last waking moment to a social media page. Maintaining an air of mystique becomes increasingly complex in modern times, especially when you’re one of the hardest-working, most well-traveled musicians of your era. For Scott Kinnebrew, the centerpiece of his solo […]

Lockport, NY rock trio Handsome Jack channels the spirit of classic American music into a sound that’s as timeless as it is electrifying. Drawing from the deep wells of rock ‘n’ roll, R&B, blues, and old-school boogie, the band crafts songs that feel both refreshingly raw and instantly familiar—music that could just as easily be […]

Blake Christiana, founding member of Yarn, has spent two decades chasing the perfect song—crafting a catalog that spans country shuffles, folk ballads, and rock-tinged roots music. Since forming Yarn in 2007, Christiana has steered the band from a scrappy New York City bar residency to sharing stages with Dwight Yoakam, Marty Stuart, Alison Krauss, and […]

Frank Viele has carved out his own lane in New England’s music landscape, blending blues, folk, and heartland rock into a sound that hits with both grit and grace. His new release, The Silo, marks the next chapter in that evolution—an intimate, cinematic five-song EP arriving on February 20th, via his own imprint, Bigger Beast […]

Meredith Moon’s third album, From Here To The Sea, marks a subtle but confident evolution for the Canadian-born songwriter and instrumentalist. Where its predecessor, Constellations, leaned deeply into Appalachian old-time traditions, From Here To The Sea widens the frame—embracing blues, folk, folk-rock, and even traces of old-time jazz, while placing Moon’s songwriting firmly at the […]

Corey Ledet was born and raised in Houston, Texas, and spent his Summers with relatives in small-town Parks, where he was exposed to their Kouri-Veni language and Creole traditions. This molded and shaped Corey’s world in a profound way. This culture has its roots in Louisiana, but eventually spread across the country, including into neighboring […]

Gran Moreno emerges as one of the most captivating voices in the new wave of psychedelic rock. With a sound rooted in analog warmth and expansive textures, the Austin-based band crafts songs that feel like sonic mirages—equal parts groove, grit, and atmosphere. Their music lives at the intersection of distortion and introspection, where hypnotic riffs, […]

Andy Thomas has worked his way up the ranks as an electrifying guitarist across the United States and abroad, whether it’s fronting his own wild-n-out project The Trongone Band or being the six-string rocket fuel for the melodic muscle car that is acclaimed Americana act Yarn. Produced by fellow Virginia native and longtime friend Dave […]

Koda Kerl and Marie Borgman have never much cared for the word “genre.” The founding members of Chamomile and Whiskey continuously let the sound of the band carve its own path. With over a decade of touring under their belt and four full-length albums, the group seems comfortable with change. “We’ve been doing this for […]

Jonathon “Boogie” Long learned to make a guitar talk before he learned to make sense of the world. He grew up in Baton Rouge in a family where music wasn’t a hobby so much as a language. His parents sang gospel and led services. His grandfather preached fire-and-brimstone sermons, strumming simple chords and urging the […]
