The Temper Trap Ready New Album ‘Sungazer,’ Share Title Track

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 16:04:00 +0000

It’s been a decade since The Temper Trap shared a new full-length project with fans, but that’s all about to change. The Australian indie rock act will release their fourth studio album, Sungazer, on July 10.

In 2018, frontman Dougy Mandagi and bandmates guitarist Joseph Greer, bassist Jonathon Aherne, and drummer Toby Dundas agreed to part ways and pursue individual projects. The move came as a way to escape a period of intense burnout, following years of rigorous touring and music-making.

After four years spent building lives outside of The Temper Trap, the band began crafting songs remotely, sending demos back and forth before eventually reuniting in the studio. That period of separation and refocus sparked new creative inspiration, leading to the creation of Sungazer.

“With time apart and much personal growth from us all, Sungazer feels like it’s captured the most pure collection of music we’ve ever made,” the band shares in a statement. “We had more fun making this record and in the writing room than on any of the previous records we’ve done. We’re in a great place creatively and in our friendships, we’re closer than ever. Being back into the studio together really felt like coming home.”

The Temper Trap, Sungazer

1. “Lucky Dimes”
2. “Into the Wild”
3. “These Arms”
4. “Bird on a Wire”
5. “Giving Up Air”
6. “Sungazer”
7. “Lifeline”
8. “Runaways”
9. “Halfway”
10. “Dystopia Radio”
11. “Kuru”

ALBUM OUT JULY 10

Along with their album announcement, the band has shared the record’s sparkling title track, which delivers a heartfelt pledge many can resonate with.

“’Sungazer’ is a song I wrote as a declaration to my little boy Ziggy before he was born,” frontman Dougy Mandagi explains. “The lyrics are a promise to him, to be with him throughout his life.”

“And when you go through stormy weather / Sungazer, sungazer / I’ll wait with you ‘till it gets better / Sungazer, sungazer.”

This summer, they’ll hit the road as support for Muse’s recently announced North American tour. Tickets for all dates listed below are on sale now. You can find more information about the shows and explore ticketing options by visiting The Temper Trap’s official website.

Greensky Bluegrass Ready New Documentary ‘Find Ourselves Lost, The Iceland Sessions’

Lorie Liebig — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 21:45:12 +0000

Americana stalwarts Greensky Bluegrass are set to release a new film that documents the creation of their 2024 EP. Set to premiere next month, Find Ourselves Lost, The Iceland Sessions serves as the feature-length directorial debut from accomplished music photographer René Huemer.

The documentary comprises footage shot inside Flóki Studios, located amongst the rural landscapes of North Iceland, during the recording process of The Iceland Sessions EP. Under Huemer’s creative direction, Greensky Bluegrass delivers a raw and honest visual portrait of the complicated emotions that can emerge during the artistic process, along with unfiltered discussions about how mental health, addiction, and other personal issues affect the longtime bandmates.

“When we decided to make a film about the making of The Iceland Sessions EP, the idea was essentially to let René make something beautiful where the band and the location were both the subject,” explains Greensky Bluegrass dobroist Anders Beck. “We know René as a friend through his work with Phish and trusted his artistic vision enough to put him in the driver’s seat. I, and the whole band as well, love that the stunning scenery of Iceland plays such a huge role in the film. To me, it feels like an art piece as much as a music documentary. I think that is really special and unique.

“What started out as a documentary about the band making a record turned into much more… we all individually (and unbeknownst to each other) really ended up opening up to the camera about so much more than just this particular recording session,” he continues. “The finished product was pretty jarring at first to us, but that is the sign of good art to me. The film captures a time of real vulnerability and introspection in Greensky’s life, addressing both the human and musical aspects of being in a band.

“I’m really proud of this documentary for being more than just a fluff piece, honestly,” adds Beck. “For a band that has always prided ourselves on our brand of silly humor and fun, it took a lot of guts to really let people see behind the curtain at some of the real struggles we’ve faced together.”

“The journey of creating Find Ourselves Lost has been one of profound discovery and passion,” Huemer shares. “This film was born from a deep desire to delve into the psychological landscape of the acclaimed band, Greensky Bluegrass, as they embarked on the intimate process of recording an album in the remote, stunning landscape of Iceland. I was inspired to highlight that even well-achieved artists grapple with their own struggles, a reality often obscured by the facade of social media. This revelation is crucial in a world where we often mistakenly believe that success shields one from the human experience of fear and insecurity.”

You can catch Greensky Bluegrass out on the road in support of their latest album, XXV, through the summer. A list of all upcoming tour dates is listed below. You can find more information about the shows and ticketing options by visiting the band’s official website.

Find Ourselves Lost, The Iceland Sessions will premiere Sunday, April 5, at 7 p.m ET, and will be available to stream online via Nugs and YouTube. Watch the film’s official trailer below:

Caleb Caudle Announces New Album ‘Heavy Thrill,’ Shares ‘The Ballad of Country Ham’

Lorie Liebig — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 18:37:00 +0000

Singer-songwriter Caleb Caudle is entering an exciting new artistic chapter, anchored by the arrival of what’s sure to be a career-defining new album. The 10-track LP, Heavy Thrill, is set for release on June 5 via his own label, Handplow Records, in collaboration with Soundly Music and Thirty Tigers.

Heavy Thrill marks Caudle’s first release on the label, which he named after a rust-red steel handplow used for tobacco farming, which has been passed down through generations and now sits in his great uncle’s yard, just across the street from his own home. The tool, which has been a constant presence through decades of hard work on the family farm, symbolizes survival through all life’s unpredictable twists and turns.

“Much like farming, my career has been about putting in the work,” Caudle shares in a statement. “You can’t always control the weather, but you can show up every day and give it your best.”

Caleb Caudle, Heavy Thrill

1. “Path of Desire”
2. “Slow Growth”
3. “The Ballad of Country Ham”
4. “Heavy Thrill”
5. “Sequoia Polaroids”
6. “Anxious”
7. “No Show”
8. “Fox Got the Chicken”
9. “Meantime”
10. “Toll Booth”

ALBUM OUT JUNE 5 VIA HANDPLOW RECORDS & SOUNDLY MUSIC / THIRTY TIGERS

Heavy Thrill is also Caudle’s first fully self-produced record, which he recorded inside the magical Cash Cabin, a historic studio built by the late Johnny Cash just outside of Nashville. Mixed by Jacquire King and mastered by Pete Lyman, the project promises to be a shining example of Caudle’s innate ability to paint a detailed picture of everyday moments through simple yet emotionally striking lyricism.

The talented North Carolina native is also using his stellar art to spread joy in a different way. For every 100 copies of Heavy Thrill sold, he will donate 1,000 meals to the Second Harvest Food Bank’s Northwestern North Carolina branch.

If you’re itching to hear a preview of the record, you’re in luck. Caudle has also shared Heavy Thrill‘s slow-grooving lead single, “The Ballad of Country Ham,” a cautionary tale of a local character who takes a different path than he might have expected.

Shakey Graves Readies New Record ‘Fondness, Etc.’

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 22:25:00 +0000

Texas-born singer-songwriter Shakey Graves is back with a brand new record at the ready. Set for release on May 15 via Secret Identity/Dualtone Records, Fondness, Etc. comprises nine new tracks, thematically centered on the growing pains and unexpected beauty that bloom from the complicated process of aging.

Fondness, Etc. was entirely self-produced and recorded to tape inside Graves’ home studio, where he also tracked his own guitars, synth, and drums to carefully build the album’s intimate, lo-fi soundscape.

“The endless options of digital recording can be deadly for my creativity,” Graves shares in a statement. “The urge to add, tinker, and perfect is nearly impossible for me to resist, and I easily get lost in the sauce. Catching the foundation of a song on tape means that you have to commit to a sound and accept what might initially be seen as mistakes. Often, these little strange moments, like a bird screaming in the background or a train passing by my house, will sneak into the track and become imperceptible textures themselves. It adds to the feeling of almost unearthing a recording, and things that would usually be left on the cutting room floor in a more controlled environment become a little snapshot of time.

“This process of recording this album reminded me that there is truly no right or wrong way to go about making music,” he adds. “You just have to find something that speaks to you, and you chase it as far as it goes, work with what you have. I only had a little time, so I made a little album, but lo and behold, it ended up being a huge lesson for me. I’ll always remember this strange time in my life, and now, since I trapped it in tape, you’ll be able to hear that memory yourself.”

Along with sharing details of his latest project, Shakey Graves has also delivered the record’s lead single, “Time Flies.” The rich, dreamy soundscape offers a reinterpretation of the song originally released by Frankie Sunswept, propelled by mesmerizing guitar riffs from Zeke Jarmon and stunning strings arranged by David J. Pierce.

“I had a vision of making this album feel like a sort of zero-budget Roy Orbison ‘50s pop record, and with such a small window to write, record, and release an entire album, I figured I should do what the pros would do and sneak in a cover song written by an old friend,” he explains. “I first heard [Frankie Sunswept] play ‘Time Flies’ in like 2007 at the Sidewalk Cafe in Alphabet City and have been singing the tune to myself nonstop since. I knew it was going to be a perfect fit for this project and finally made a version of it the way it would play on the radio in my head.”

Earlier this week, Shakey Graves confirmed his Fondness, Etc. Tour, which will make its way across the U.S. through late summer. Tickets for all live dates listed below are on sale now. You can find more information about the tour and explore ticketing options by visiting Shakey Graves’ official website.

Drivin N Cryin Search for Clarity in New Single ‘Mirror Mirror’

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 20:18:11 +0000

Southern rock stalwarts Drivin N Cryin are gearing up to release a new record and have shared the project’s powerful lead single. “Mirror Mirror” finds frontman Kevn Kinney ruminating on the passage of time and its unpredictable effects on us all.

“I wrote ‘Mirror Mirror’ as a song to try and understand the effects dementia and Alzheimer’s has on my mother,” Kinney shares. “It’s in support of my sisters who are supporting her. She’s in a living care facility in Milwaukee, and my visits with her are beautiful and heartbreaking.”

“I know you’re in there somewhere / Can you make it out?” Kinney asks softly in the song’s emotionally-charged opening lines. “Maybe it’s a safe place you’re wandering around / In and out of memories, in and out of days / I know you’re in there somewhere, I see it in your face.”

“’I know you’re in there somewhere’ is the continuing theme … and as in most of my songs, it’s on a couple different viewpoints,” he adds. “The last verse is actually an insight to my own possibilities of this disease, believed by many to be hereditary, so in the last verse I’m staring in the mirror in the beginning stages. Memories are clear and so alive, echoes of the past and moving through life with sanity and grace.”

Joshua Ray Walker Readies New Album ‘Ain’t Dead Yet,’ Shares ‘Capital Letters’

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 22:10:44 +0000

Over the past few years, Joshua Ray Walker has proven himself to be one of the most interesting singer-songwriters to come out of the Texas music scene. But when he first began working on what would become his sixth studio album, the longtime lyricist and musician had no idea that it would become one of his most raw and biographical projects so far.

Set for release on May 29 via East Dallas Records/Thirty Tigers, Ain’t Dead Yet was born during a time of deep uncertainty after being diagnosed with Stage 3B colon cancer. As he tried to navigate his new normal and began undergoing treatment, he channeled his creative energy into repeatedly tweaking and reworking what would become his upcoming 10-track LP.

“That whole year, I just felt awful and like I was dying,” Walker shares in a statement. “I didn’t feel right, and mentally I was off, like there really was something wrong the whole time. So I think the reason some of these songs feel the way they do is because I felt that way, even though I didn’t know something was wrong yet.”

The tracks were recorded over multiple months across three studios in Dallas, Texas, starting before his diagnosis, through the treatment process, and after those treatments were successfully completed. Although the record was born out of one of Walker’s most challenging life chapters, it also represents a new era for the talented songsmith, both creatively and personally.

“I faced death; I almost lost my house; I got engaged; We lost most of our belongings to flood and mold; I’ve had loved ones die; I almost lost my entire music catalog. It’s been a lot, good and bad. I’m just a much different person,” he explains. “I’m very intentional with my time, and I’m a lot happier. Even though things have been hard, I genuinely do think I’m happier. It’s been a pretty wild transformation.”

Joshua Ray Walker, Ain’t Dead Yet

1. “Ain’t Dead Yet”
2. “Shoot Me Straight”
3. “Chasing Sunsets”
4. “Outlaw”
5. “Capital Letters”
6. “Texas Sober”
7. “Blue Genes”
8. “Stepping Stones”
9. “Some People”
10. “Thank You For Listening”

ALBUM OUT MAY 29 VIA EAST DALLAS RECORDS / THIRTY TIGERS

Today (March 4), Joshua Ray Walker also shared “Capital Letters,” the moving lead single from Ain’t Dead Yet. He penned the track as a tribute to two important men who are no longer here on Earth, but continue to impact his life in major ways. The track honors both his late grandfather, who also inspired the first song Walker ever wrote, and Trey Johnson, a longtime mentor and record label co-founder.

“Every time I sing these songs, I sing ‘em to you / Every time I sing these songs, you’ll sing ‘em with me too,” he croons. “It’s a cruel, cruel world / It’s a cruel, cruel world / It’s a cruel, cruel world, but you didn’t think so.”

Friko Find Comfort in the Journey With New Track ‘Choo Choo’

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 21:21:00 +0000

Friko keep the momentum going with “Choo Choo,” an energizing and playful indie-rock gem off their upcoming second studio album. In the track, bandmates Niko Kapetan (vocals/guitar), Korgan Robb (guitar), David Fuller (bass), and Bailey Minzenberger (drums) mold a raw, multilayered sound with lyrics that echo a longing for escapism, courtesy of one particular mode of transportation.

“I’ve always had a thing with the magic of trains, and when I was writing that song, I started singing ‘choo choo,’ and it made me laugh,” Kapetan shares in a statement. “It always feels good to play live, with all the slowdowns and speed-ups, but it’s also a very emotional homage to the band and how they feel like home to me.”

The track’s accompanying music video, directed by Anastasiya “Stas” Slyvka, fittingly spotlights the transit system of the band’s home city, Chicago.

“There’s nothing light-hearted about trains,” adds Kapetan. “They have moved us for hundreds of years, and probably will for hundreds more. Heavy, chugging things that carry far more human weight than any of us could ever bear. Life reveals itself in a seat by the window, watching carousels go by.”

Friko, Something Worth Waiting For

TRACK LIST

1. “Guess”
2. “Still Around”
3. “Choo Choo”
4. “Alice”
5. “Certainty”
6. “Hot Air Balloon”
7. “Seven Degrees”
8. “Something Worth Waiting For”
9. “Dear Bicycle”

ALBUM OUT APRIL 24 VIA ATO RECORDS

“Choo Choo” is the second single off Friko’s upcoming sophomore album, Something Worth Waiting For, following the retro-cool lead track “Seven Degrees,” which dropped last month. Recorded in Los Angeles with producer John Congleton, the 9-track LP promises to feature the magic of the meticulously crafted soundscapes of their 2024 debut, expanded through Congleton’s creative lens.

Molded over a two-year period, Something Worth Waiting For finds the band exploring the concepts of movement, progress, and how we define them.

“If the general theme of the record is transit, then the title gets at the idea of always moving toward something you never quite seem to reach,” says Kapetan. “That might sound pessimistic, but maybe the reaching isn’t necessarily the point,” Minzenberger adds. “I think life is meant to bring new experiences so that your world is ever-expanding, and not about constantly striving to achieve one particular thing.”

Something Worth Waiting For is out on April 24 via ATO Records. A list of the band’s upcoming tour dates can be found below. You can find more information about the album by visiting Friko’s official website.

Ringo Starr Readies Star-Studded Second Country Album ‘Long Long Road’

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 01:30:39 +0000

Ringo Starr is sinking his roots even deeper into the realms of country music and Americana. The influential musician has reunited with co-writer and producer T Bone Burnett to create Long Long Road, the follow-up to his long-awaited 2025 genre-focused album.

Set for release on April 24, the record was unexpectedly born following the pair’s creation of Look Up, the collaboration-filled LP that marked Starr’s first fully country music-focused project.

“I’m blessed to have T Bone in my life right now and working with me on these records,” Starr shares in a statement. “After we did the last record, which I love listening to, this one just sort of happened. I like to say sometimes I make the right moves, like you can go left or right at any point, and one of the right moves was hooking up with T Bone for Look Up, and now for this one, which I’m calling Long Long Road, because I’ve been on a long long road.”

“I’ve loved Ringo’s playing and his singing for my whole life,” shares Burnett. “And then one night we were at a poetry reading together, and he said, ‘Why don’t you write a song for me? So I wrote him a Gene Autry-type song because I always heard Ringo as a Texas artist; the way he played felt just like Texas music to me. Ringo Starr is a recording artist of the highest caliber, and I wanted to surround him with these young masters, bringing in some of this extraordinary young energy that’s happening around Nashville for both of these records.”

Ringo Starr, Long Long Road

‣ SIDE ONE
1. “Returning Without Tears”
2. “Baby Don’t Go”
3. “I Don’t See Me In Your Eyes Anymore”
4. “It’s Been Too Long”
5. “Why”

‣ SIDE TWO
1. “You and I (Wave of Love)”
2. “My Baby Don’t Want Nothing”
3. “Choose Love”
4. “She’s Gone”
5. “Long Long Road”

ALBUM OUT APRIL 24 VIA UMe

Although it took decades for Starr to release his own country music project, he’s been vocal about his close connection to the genre throughout his incredible, extensive career.

“I recorded two Carl Perkins songs with The Beatles, and both T Bone and I wanted one on this record,” explains Starr. “And he found this beautiful track I’d never heard before, ‘I Don’t See Me In Your Eyes Anymore’.”

That song is one of 10 tracks on Long Long Road, which includes collaborations with Sheryl Crow, Billy Strings, and St. Vincent. Released today (March 3), the record’s lead single, “It’s Been Too Long,” features Americana standouts Molly Tuttle and Sarah Jarosz.

“It’s been too long since we smelled the flowers / It’s been too long, lost track of the hours,” Starr sings in the track’s groovy chorus, elevated by Tuttle and Jarosz’s heavenly harmonies. “It’s been too long since we heard the heavens ring / It’s been too long since we didn’t do a thing.”

Aldous Harding Readies New Album ‘Train on the Island,’ Shares Lead Single ‘One Stop’

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 23:24:00 +0000

Singer-songwriter Aldous Harding has new music ready to share. Today (March 3), she announced her fifth studio album, Train on the Island, will be released on May 8 via 4AD.

Although we only have a few details about the project right now, we do know the LP features 10 tracks crafted with longtime collaborator John Parish. The pair recruited an impressive roster of musicians for the record, which includes Joe Harvey-Whyte on pedal steel, Thomas Poli on synth, and Sebastian Rochford. Harding and her band returned to Rockfield Studios in Monmouth, Wales, where three of her previous records were captured, to bring Train on the Island to life.

Aldous Harding, Train on the Island

1. “I Ate the Most”
2. “One Stop”
3. “Train on the Island”
4. “Worms”
5. “Venus In the Zinnia”
6. “If Lady Does It”
7. “San Francisco”
8. “What Am I Gonna Do?”
9. “Riding That Symbol”
10. “Coats”

ALBUM OUT MAY 8 VIA 4AD

Along with the album release news, Harding has also shared the album’s lead single, “One Stop.” The track is an unpredictable yet charming piece of self-reflection, allowing the listener to dive into the narrator’s rapid-fire train of thought.

“I rip myself on, I rip myself off / Imagining from the block, imagining,” she proclaims. “Why wouldn’t I wanna meet ya? Why wouldn’t I wanna? Oh, why wouldn’t I wanna meet ya?”

Fans across the U.S. and overseas will have many opportunities to hear tracks from Train on the Island live later this year. A full list of upcoming tour dates is available below. You can find additional information about the shows and find tickets by visiting Aldous Harding’s official website.

Matt Berninger and Rosanne Cash Put Their Own Spin on The Velvet Underground’s ‘Who Loves the Sun’

Lorie Liebig — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 19:51:50 +0000

The National’s Matt Berninger and Rosanne Cash have teamed up to record a new version of a classic track by The Velvet Underground for a new television series. Their take on “Who Loves the Sun,” a song from the band’s influential 1970 record Loaded, acts as the theme for Hulu’s new comedic drama series, Sunny Nights.

Will Forte and D’Arcy Cardem star in the show, directed and executive produced by Trent O’Donnell, which debuts on Hulu today (March 2). Sunny Nights viewers will also hear a portion of Berninger and Cash’s collaboration in the opening moments of the debut season’s first episode.

“I’ve been a Trent O’Donnell fan for a long time,” Berninger shares in a statement, explaining how the opportunity came to be. “We became good friends when he cast my brother, Tom, in an episode of his show No Activity, and we’ve had a close, creative bond ever since. When he asked me to cover the Velvet Underground for Sunny Nights, I immediately thought of it as a duet with Rose and John [Leventhal]. We recorded it in their Chelsea brownstone last summer. John did most of the work while Rose and I drank chardonnay in the garden in the sun.”

Cash has booked a handful of live dates for 2026, including stops in cities across the U.S. and overseas. She’ll be joined by her husband, acclaimed producer, musician, and songwriter John Leventhal, on all tour dates listed below. You can find more information about the shows by visiting Rosanne Cash’s official website.

Maya Hawke Announces New Album ‘Maitreya Corso,’ Shares ‘Devil You Know’

Lorie Liebig — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 16:11:21 +0000

Multi-talented artist Maya Hawke has a brand new record ready to share. Today (March 2), the accomplished actress and singer-songwriter announced she’s set to release her fourth studio album, Maitreya Corso, on May 1 via Mom + Pop.

The project is her second record crafted in collaboration with husband and fellow talented songsmith Christian Lee Hutson, following her captivating 2024 record Chaos Angel. Maitreya Corso was recorded in Woodstock, N.Y. during the tail end of 2025, and features contributions from guitarist Will Graefe, violinist Odessa Jorgensen, and drummer Michael Riddleberger.

The 13-track LP was primarily co-produced by Hutson and Jonathan Low, with additional production work from Benjamin Lazar Davis. Listeners will be introduced to the lead character of “Maitreya Corso,” a persona hand-crafted by Hawke which she describes as a “magical misfit, whose sheer inability to adapt to the surrounding world allows her to create a world of her own, and to explore the positive and negative power of the ego.”

Maya Hawke, Maitreya Corso

1. “Love of My Life”
2. “Devil You Know”
3. “Lioness”
4. “Heavy Rain”
5. “Last Living Lost Cause”
6. “Last Thoughts on Morning Star”
7. “Bring Home My Man”
8. “Great Minds”
9. “Green Dragon”
10. “Slacker in the Rye”
11. “Terms of Estrangement”
12. “Maitreya and the Way Back”
13. “Dream House”

ALBUM OUT MAY 1 VIA MOM+POP

Released today, the album’s lead single, “Devil You Know,” begins with sparse accompaniment that slowly builds into a rich soundscape, propelled by Hawke’s rapid-fire lyrical confessions.

“Deal with the devil you know, take it slow / He might show up, you might lose him,” Hawke offers in the song’s airy chorus. “When you grow up, you might blow up, you might pop / None of that’s a good reason to stop.”

The track was penned during time spent at Davis’s Los Angeles studio and in New York City while Hawke helped mold what would become Hutson’s stellar 2024 record Paradise Pop. 10.

“‘Devil You Know’ is about trying to keep ambition and greed out of the creative process,” Hawke shares. “This album generally is about learning to protect the precious from the poisonous. Protect creation from pride. Protect love from control. Protect collaboration from jealousy.”

If you’re anxious to hear “Devil You Know” and more cuts from Maitreya Corso live, you’re in luck. Hawke has also confirmed her first headlining tour in three years, which will take her to over a dozen venues in the U.S. later this spring. The roster of shows begins with a performance alongside Hutson at the star-studded Tibet House US Benefit Concert, which will be held on March 3 at Carnegie Hall in New York City. You can find more information on the tour dates, which are listed below, by visiting Maya Hawke’s official website.

Foy Vance Confirms Extensive ‘The Wake World Tour’

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 16:23:00 +0000

In just a few weeks, multi-talented artist Foy Vance will share his buzzed-about new album The Wake. Today (Feb. 19), the Irish-born musician and lyricist unveiled a massive roster of headlining dates that begin this fall and stretch into early 2027.

Vance’s 2026 The Wake World Tour will begin on Sept. 3 in Zurich, Switzerland, launching an overseas leg that will be followed by a lengthy run of North American dates. The 60-date trek includes stops in New York City, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Toronto, Seattle, Austin, Portland, Nashville, and Denver. His impressive run of shows will come to a close on May 1 with a performance at The Wilbur in Boston.

The tour will offer concertgoers a chance to hear tracks off The Wake, set for release on March 13 via Rounder Records, in a live setting for the first time. Produced by Ethan Johns, the LP promises to be one of the 51-year-old’s most personal projects yet, marking the close of a pivotal period of healing and emotional exploration that emerged following the death of his father in 1999. Over that 26-year span, Vance crafted 7 albums, with The Wake serving as the raw, deeply moving bookend to this formative, personal, and creative chapter.

An artist presale for all The Wake World Tour dates listed below begins Tuesday, Feb. 24, at 10 a.m. local time. It will be followed by a general onsale beginning on Friday, Feb. 27, also at 10 a.m. local time.

Hiss Golden Messenger Announces New Album ‘I’m People,’ Shares ‘In the Middle of It’

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 19:25:00 +0000

Hiss Golden Messenger, the indie-folk act led by singer-songwriter MC Taylor, will soon share their first full-length project in three years. Set for release on May 1 via Chrysalis Records, I’m People will feature 12 tracks that explore the gamut of human experiences, along with the fleeting moments and lasting memories that help shape who we become.

“The songs on I’m People are about running towards and away from things, about reasonable and realistic hope and expectations, about having babies, getting older, love and lust and luck and music,” Taylor shares in a statement.

“They are songs about solitude and heartbreak and poverty of the spirit, and maybe community as some kind of antidote for these particular types of sicknesses,” he continues. “Shedding old skin. Mystery as a beautiful necessity. My grandmother Lucy’s Cadillac, filled with cigarette smoke, Conway Twitty singing ‘Slow Hand.’ The lightning fields outside Santa Rosa, New Mexico, [at] midnight. Late nights drinking wine, running wild, bondage, fealty, devotion, seeing and being seen, owning and being owned. My wife, my children, summertime in the mountains, wild roses climbing the fence, a peaceful mind, rummaging through scrap heaps of the heart, breaking and making and breaking again. To dust. Truth, lies, magic, faith.”

Hiss Golden Messenger, I’m People

1. “In the Middle of It”
2. “Who You Gonna Run to?”
3. “Shaky Eyes”
4. “Mercy Ave”
5. “I’m People”
6. “Seneca (Time Is a Mother, Baby)”
7. “Last Orders”
8. “Gabriel”
9. “Heavy World”
10. “Alright”
11. “Spirit Cat”
12. “Depends on the River”

ALBUM OUT MAY 1 VIA CHRYSALIS RECORDS

Taylor is offering an early preview of I’m People by sharing the LP’s lead single, “In the Middle of It.” The track is a reflective, imagery-driven story-song which he penned during a stay in a corner room inside the El Rey Court hotel in downtown Santa Fe, New Mexico.

“Well, hearts run wild under the sawdust moon / At the foot of the mountain, I’ll see you when I see you,” he declares. “In the middle of it / Oh, just a little one / In the middle of it / Oh, just a little one.”

Along with today’s album announcement and lead single release, Taylor has confirmed an upcoming U.S. tour for this fall. He’ll be joined by a full band for the slate of shows, which includes stops in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Minneapolis, and Denver. Tickets for all dates listed below will go on sale this Friday, Feb. 13, at 10 a.m. local time.

It’s been four years since Young the Giant delivered a new full-length project, but that’s all about to change. The indie rock outfit has confirmed that their long-anticipated sixth studio album, Victory Garden, is set for release on May 1 via Fearless Records.

The project, made in collaboration with seasoned producer Brendan O’Brien, was written and recorded by the band while huddled in the same room during creative retreats set in the scenic California landscapes of Idyllwild and Joshua Tree.

The resulting 11-track LP, recorded at Henson Studios in Hollywood, Calif., is thematically focused on what connects us, the need for empathy and joy of acceptance, along with a hopeful plea for better times to come.

“Victory Garden is an album about radical empathy, the struggle of life over death, love over fear; lessons learned from seeing this increasingly difficult life through the eyes of our children,” shares Young the Giant. “Victory gardens were created for local communities to increase food supply while war was raging. Our album also strives to galvanize community through thoughtful action. In an age that vacillates between escapism and hopelessness, Victory Garden is an ode to all that is human and beautiful. Radical empathy, in these times, is its own form of resistance.”

Along with detailing their timely new project, Young the Giant has shared the record’s lead single. “Different Kind of Love” is a captivating preview of what’s to come, offering a needed message of unity during a time when unprecedented events have become a daily norm.

“Livin’ in a house that’s not your home / Livin’ on a prayer you used to know / Give in to the weight, but don’t let go / Don’t let go / We could be forever, not just once / We could havе a different kind of love / Givе in to the weight, but don’t give up / Don’t give up”

“In a world inundated by either doomsday nuclear clocks or escapist AI slop lulling us into torpid submission, ‘Different Kind of Love’ is a lucid invitation to find radical empathy; a revolutionary ode to optimism in our cynical world, because unconditional love in our age is its own form of extreme resistance,” the band explains.

American Football Confirm 2026 Headlining Tour

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 03 Feb 2026 15:44:00 +0000

Rumors have been swirling in recent weeks about a possible new full-length project in the works from beloved Midwest emo stalwarts American Football. The long-running band has added more fuel to the fire, confirming an extensive new headlining tour.

Their latest string of live dates will take them to venues across Europe and North America this summer, beginning with a performance in Denver on May 15. They’ll make their way across the U.S. and Canada, including stops in Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Seattle, Chicago, Toronto, Portland, Atlanta, Boston, and Nashville. The four-month run of stretches through the summer, winding down with a final set in Minneapolis on Aug. 16.

Indie-jazz meets J-pop artist Mei Semones, English ambient outfit Marconi Union, Los Angeles indie-rocker IAN SWEET, and Montreal’s indie-rock trio Afternoon Bike Ride will act as support on select dates noted below.

In a press release, the band also states that “in response to the deadly violence and intimidation around the country provoked by ICE, American Football will be partnering with PLUS1 to donate $£1/€1 from every ticket sold across the tour to Safe Passage International & The Illinois Coalition for Immigration & Refugee Rights; two essential organizations defending immigrant rights and supporting deportees, migrants, and refugees.”

We’ll have to wait and see if this major tour announcement is a hint of a fourth studio album coming soon, but the group has been posting a series of mysterious teaser videos on social media. The hypothetical new record would be American Football’s first LP since 2019.

NOFX Push Back Against ‘Minnesota Nazis’

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 03 Feb 2026 01:03:21 +0000

Influential punk rockers NOFX are joining the growing wave of artists speaking out against the deployment of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in American cities. The aptly named “Minnesota Nazis” finds the long-running Los Angeles-based act boldly addressing the recent surge in violence against citizens by ICE agents within the streets of Minneapolis.

The unflinchingly fierce track, which evolved from a song previously released as a part of their 2023 box set NOFXxX, directly addresses the death of Renee Good, who was shot and killed by ICE agents on Jan. 7. Her death, along with the killing of Alex Pretti just over weeks later, was reported worldwide and helped spark an increase in protests against ICE’s increasingly aggressive positioning in communities across Minneapolis.

“If those Minnesota Nazis are so sure they’re part of the master race, / Why do they cover their white faces when they’re shooting / Friendly white unarmed lesbians in the face?
Oh, there’s Nazis in my neighborhood / Old white bitter people can be so rude / When they deport all of their Mexicans / They’ll have to cook their own Mexican food.”

“I wrote a song called ‘Huntington Beach Nazis’ in 2022 when I spent 6 sober weeks there,” Fat Mike, NOFX lead vocalist and bassist, shares in a statement. “There’s actually an intersection of Rhein and Heil streets. Kinda weird… anyway, after all the recent heartbreaks in Minnesota, I decided to change some lyrics in the song and release it digitally. I even changed the title of the song to ‘Minnesota Nazis.’ I reckon it’s appropriate. This song isn’t gonna stop the absolute madness… but you do what you can to make this world a better place. Let’s look out for each other the best we can. Love > Hate… even though it doesn’t seem like it right now….”

Noah Kahan Unveils ‘The Great Divide’ Stadium Tour Dates

Lorie Liebig — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 22:18:07 +0000

It’s only been a few days since Noah Kahan confirmed his fourth studio album is on the way, but the Vermont native already has more big news to share. Today (Feb. 2), he announced a massive 2026 headlining tour that will take him to stadiums across the U.S. and Canada.

The Great Divide Tour will begin on June 11 in Orlando, Fla., before continuing on to 22 additional North American cities through the end of August. This leg of live dates includes performances at some of the largest and most iconic venues of his career, including Wrigley Field in Chicago, Los Angeles’ Rose Bowl, and an exciting return to Fenway Park in Boston for two special homecoming shows. In July 2024, Kahan released Live from Fenway Park, an 18-track collection of recordings captured the month prior during his first two sold-out concerts at the venue.

Burgeoning singer-songwriter Gigi Perez has been tapped as support for all dates of The Great Divide Tour, which are listed below. To help reduce access to tickets from bots and scalpers, Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange will be the only outlet to purchase resale tickets, which must be priced at face value.

Fans can sign up now through Thursday, Feb. 5, at 11:59 p.m. ET to access an artist presale scheduled to begin Tuesday, Feb. 10, at 12 p.m. local time. Those who sign up with their Ticketmaster account will automatically be given access with no code needed. If you don’t snag any tickets, you’ll get another chance during the tour’s general onsale set for Thursday, Feb. 12, at 12 p.m. local time.

Low Cut Connie’s Exercises Joyful Resistance with New Protest Album ‘Livin in the USA’

Lorie Liebig — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 21:27:35 +0000

Since their formation in 2010, Low Cut Connie has become known for delivering accessible yet never predictable rock and roll with plenty of substance. Today, the Philadelphia-based act revealed plans to release a new album that directly addresses the uncertain, often frightening political and cultural landscape of modern America.

Set for release on July 3 via Contender Records, Livin in the USA is a modern protest album that feels like a natural progression from their most recent single, last year’s incredibly moving “Settle Down.” The official music video for that track featured imagery from protests and ICE raids in cities across the country, which now feels all the more eerie to revisit.

The album’s title track, also released today, is a vibrant, anthemic exploration of feelings many Americans grapple with each day while navigating the chaos of a never-ending, growingly frightening news cycle. “Livin in the USA” addresses the painful reality of life as we go through our daily routines, while citizens are taken off the streets and families are ripped apart with no safe futures guaranteed.

“Livin on the street, there’s people dying out there every day / Screamin in the midnight, don’t you take my child away / You can pay some people to tell you what you want to hear / Get a good lawyer, gonna make em all disappear.”

In the statement below, Low Cut Connie’s Adam Weiner shares what inspired the song and album, the experiences that led him there, a message for listeners, and a look at some of the albums that helped light a creative spark while making what became Livin in the USA.

I made a protest album
about the times we are living through
in America 2026
It’s called Livin in the USA
I made it because I am disgusted to see our country descend into
an authoritarian hell
a moral vacuum
and a place where art does not lead the cultural conversation

This album, believe it or not, is also a party album
because I refuse to let these motherfuckers steal our art and steal our joy
It is time to reclaim it

This country goddamn right invented rock n roll, hip hop, jazz, R&B..
Music with soul communicates on a level that no algorithm or tech bro
or artificial intelligence or political machinery can ever understand or contain
America created these table-flipping artforms
Rock n roll is a table-flipping artform
It’s time to flip the table again

1 year ago I was one of the first artists to cancel a show at the Kennedy Center
I saw the regime take over
what had previously been a non-partisan arts institution
they elected an artless maniac as Chairman
so I quit
The money would have been nice for a middle-class working musician like me
but my soul was better for quitting

Shortly after that, I released a quiet acoustic song “Livin in the USA”
in which I spoke about the atrocity of ICE, authoritarianism, racism
and a general lack of moral character in America
This got me in a lot of trouble
I received violent threats
and show cancellations
A county commissioner in Pennsylvania called my music “propaganda”
I had to consult with security for my safety
But my tour went on
and frankly all the people I met all over the country
reminded me of how soulful the American spirit really is
despite the daily persecutions and criminality we witness

Many people told me just to stop singing “Livin in the USA” last year
so as to not ruffle too many feathers
FUCK THAT!
I decided to sing it LOUDER
LOUDER, Motherfuckers!!

I made this album Livin in the USA to say fuck you to this regime
to the brutality and inhumanity of our political and tech leaders
They are assholes with no class, taste, morality
or art in their bodies

I made this album to reclaim patriotism –
this regime in anti-American!
my album is PRO-AMERICAN!!
So much of America is built on diversity, creativity, hard work
and freedom of expression
These fuckers don’t understand a goddamn thing about the spirit of America – especially not our art!

I made this album to reclaim fun and joy and human connection
our individuality and creative expression is a revolutionary act
Sing and dance yer asses off you beautiful American weirdos!
Just because the world is collapsing
doesn’t mean we can’t go skinnydipping this weekend

I made this album because
these algorithms that have defined this age
are so fucking BORING!
They push our culture towards the generic every day
We don’t even remember our own beauty and creativity
America is weird and wonderful
these technologies don’t understand a damn thing about it

I made this album on 1 inch tape
Every song was recorded in one hot take
This was to capture lightning in a bottle and not rely on technology to fix things
no auto-tune, no click track
just blurt it out, capture it and put it out
That’s how rock n roll was born
that’s how I tried to do it

I love rock n roll
It truly is a great artform

I made this album while thinking about some of my favorite records ever
Records that spoke to the times while entertaining the fuck out of us

Sign o’ the Times – Prince
Stand – Sly & the Family Stone
There’s a Riot Goin On – Sly & the Family Stone
What’s Goin On – Marvin Gaye
Born in the USA – Bruce Springsteen
Willy & the Poor Boys – Creedence Clearwater Revival

I made this album because my little voice is what I have to offer to these fucked times

I hope this record Livin in the USA can make some positive difference somewhere

The release begins Sunday nite at midnite

Stay strong
and
never lose the spirit

Bon Iver Shares Live Version of ‘Naeem (Can’t You Hear Crying)’ Benefiting Minnesota Nonprofit

Lorie Liebig — Sun, 01 Feb 2026 09:00:44 +0000

Justin Vernon, the creative mind behind indie-folk act Bon Iver, is one of the latest artists fighting to resist ICE’s current occupation in Minneapolis through music. His latest surprise release is a live rendition of “Naeem (Can’t You Hear Crying),” now available for download, with all proceeds going to a worthy cause.

The track, originally featured on Bon Iver’s 2019 album, I, I, was recorded live in 2003 during their set at Italy’s La Prima Estate Festival. All money raised from the purchase of the live version will be donated to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota, “a nonprofit organization that provides free immigration legal representation to low-income immigrants and refugees in Minnesota and North Dakota,” as stated on their website. The organization’s work is especially vital now, following the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s decision to deploy thousands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents across Minneapolis.

“Naeem (Can’t You Hear Crying)” Single Artwork

During a recent speech at a National Music Publishers’ Association event, Vernon spoke out directly about the city’s response to ICE’s occupation while wearing an orange whistle, which residents are using to alert others in the community that agents have been spotted in the vicinity.

“There’s another kind of observer in the world that really deserves our attention,” Vernon said. “One with hard hands, one that’s in the streets of Minneapolis, and many, many cities in this country right now. Somebody that stands in the corner of their community and blows the whistle, and makes a noise. That’s their purpose, and they are using their voice. So I am incredibly humbled to be an observer, and to stand in the service of humanality.”

You can download Bon Iver’s previously unreleased live version of “Naeem (Can’t You Hear Crying)” now exclusively on Bandcamp. Fans are asked to pay what they want for the download, but are encouraged to donate as much as possible for the cause.

Bon Iver, “Naeem (Can’t You Hear Crying)” Lyrics

all along ’em I can hear me
I go for the caste
I fall off a bass boat
and the concrete’s very slow
the concrete’s very slow
all along the sidelines bigger
I’m over the dash
i’m having a bad bad toke
but the berries still to come
all along them I can hear ya

I can hear, I can hear, I can hear, I can hear crying

all along me I can hear you
I’d occupy that
can’t sit back long while yer forming that
on my mind our kids got bigger
but I’m climbing down the bastion now
you take me out to pasture now
well I won’t be angry long
well I can’t be angry long
we burnt up in my bed

standing on the mattress laul
why can’t we just patch this
and I cannot seem to carry it all
all along we I can hear me

I can hear, I can hear, I can hear, I can hear crying

all around me I can hear ’em
so what is gonna happen now?
if you dont look away
what’s there to pontificate on now?
there’s someone in my head
tell them I’ll be passing on
tell them were young mastodons
and it cant be that its all
and it cant be that is all
i’m telling you that I do feel ya
it’s suddenly paths, mama
it aint about class, mama
and it won’t be very long
oh it won’t be very long

hey hey hey hey

Noah Kahan Returns With Reflective Single ‘The Great Divide’

Lorie Liebig — Sun, 01 Feb 2026 02:47:55 +0000

Noah Kahan‘s career and life trajectory changed forever following the release of his 2022 album, Stick Season. Now, the Vermont native has shared the title track from his buzzed-about full-length follow-up, due out April 24 via Mercury Records.

Released on Jan. 30, “The Great Divide” delivers all the creative elements that elevated Kahan from a seasoned but lesser-known singer-songwriter to one of the most commercially successful new artists across any genre. His vocals are clear and emotive yet never overpolished, thanks in part to the work of returning Stick Season producer Gabe Simon. Lyrically, he delivers a raw, honest examination of the complicated feelings that can bubble up from the past as time seems to pass by faster each day.

“I hope you settle down, I hope you marry rich / I hope you’re scared of only ordinary shit / Like murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skin / And not your soul, and what he might do with it.”

The track is both emotionally charged and infectious, easily luring the listener to tap along to the song’s rapid percussive heartbeat. It also serves as a preview of some of the difficult themes Kahan explores on the record, which finds the 29-year-old at a time in life when some important life lessons blossom out of the oftentimes messy process of looking backwards.

From the dynamic shift of relationships with longtime friends, the pain of distance felt from loved ones, and the discomfort of facing your own shortcomings or mistakes made along the way, Kahan looks to spotlight how taking time to acknowledge your past can sometimes be the only way to continue down the path you’ve been seeking.

“The last five years have been the single most challenging, complicatedly beautiful, and life-altering of my career. I was somewhere I understood, and suddenly I was somewhere completely foreign,” Noah Kahan shares in a statement. “I was living in the opportunity I always wanted, but felt disoriented and unsure of whether I deserved it. Writing for this album was a balancing act of trying to go back in time and move forward in the same moment. Songwriting has always been the way I reflect on my life, and I hope these songs show you a glimpse of what this journey has looked like.”

The Great Divide Album Cover

Along with a fresh perspective, Kahan also opted to evolve and expand his creative team. The National’s Aaron Dessner, best known for his production work on Taylor Swift‘s acclaimed records Folklore, Evermore, and The Tortured Poets Department, was recruited as co-producer for the record. And while Dessner’s creative collaboration with Swift marked the beginning of a sonic shift for the pop star, his musical perspective already seems like a natural fit alongside the soundscapes previously molded by Kahan and Simon.

Although we’ll have to wait until April 24, when The Great Divide officially drops, to hear if their creative partnership results in a sonically cohesive record, Noah Kahan seems poised for another pivotal and successful chapter in his still-early career.

My Morning Jacket Take a Stand for Minneapolis With Surprise Acoustic Album ‘Peacelands’

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 20:25:00 +0000

As more artists continue to speak out about the recent violent events in Minneapolis following the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s infiltration of the city, My Morning Jacket is using art to project a message of hope during these challenging times. Today (Jan. 29), the Jim James-helmed indie rock outfit released Peacelands, an acoustic LP featuring covers and original songs that relay a wish for unity while America stands at a point of great division.

Recorded by Shawn Everett inside EastWest Studios’ Studio Three in Hollywood, Calif., Peacelands features 14 tracks, including classic originals from both My Morning Jacket and Jim James’ solo songbook. Other highlights include renditions of Brian Wilson’s “Love and Mercy,” Buck Owens’ “Together Again,” and the powerful Bob Dylan classic, “Blowin’ in the Wind.”

Below, James shares a statement explaining the inspiration behind the project and a message for all those seeking guidance or comfort through music as we all face the unknown horrors that continue to appear on our televisions and phone screens each day.

“‘Peacelands’ is a word and concept created by visionary Louisville artist Mark Anthony Mulligan, an imaginary land of peace, friendship, and equality he created in his artwork – a place where folks listen to each other and find a way to get along in peace, friendship, and togetherness – despite their differences.

“I think about this word ‘Peacelands’ in our world all of the time, especially in troubled times, and we believe that it’s still possible for us to achieve Mark’s vision of Peacelands – a world of love and friendship – if only we can learn to listen, love, and forgive in paths of peace, acceptance, and tolerance.

“We stand with the people of Minnesota and everywhere else affected by the horrors of ICE brutality and lack of human decency or transparency from this administration.

“There is room for everyone to be safe and free and at home in this vast world, and we need to find a new path together to safe and humane immigration policy and reform rooted in peace and love… safety and equality… and new systems of fairness, freedom, and transparent justice for all.”

My Morning Jacket, Peacelands

1. “Why Can’t We Live Together” (Timmy Thomas)
2. “New World Coming” (Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil)
3. “Love and Mercy” (Brian Wilson)
4. “Here In Spirit” (Jim James)
5. “Rainbow Power” (Timmy Thomas)
6. “I’m Amazed” (Jim James)
7. “Don’t Lose Your Eye” (Sonny Boy Williamson)
8. “Changing World” (Woody Guthrie and Jim James)
9. “State of the Art” (Jim James)
10. “Blowin’ in the Wind” (Bob Dylan)
11. “Everything Must Change” (Benard Ighner)
12. “In the Moment” (Jim James)
13. “Together Again” (Buck Owens)
14. “I Found a Reason” (Lou Reed)

Available for purchase beginning January 29 via Bandcamp

“ALL PROCEEDS from Peacelands, an album of mostly unreleased, acoustic peaceful protest songs – some covers and some of my own – that we released today exclusively on @bandcamp, will go to organizations like @aclu_nationwide fighting for our safety and freedoms here at home, as well as @doctorswithoutborders and @rescueorg – organizations working hard to help heal the horrors of war and terror around the globe… working around the clock to help move us all towards “Peacelands.”

“Artwork artist is unknown and comes from a handmade wood carving I found years ago at a second-hand store in Missoula called Circle Square.”

All proceeds raised via the purchase of Peacelands, which is available now via Bandcamp, will be directed to nonprofit organizations currently located in Minneapolis, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Doctors Without Borders, and the International Rescue Committee. My Morning Jacket also recommends visiting StandWithMinnesota.com to access a large directory of groups and activists working on the ground with the local community.

My Morning Jacket’s 2026 Tour Dates

Billy Bragg Celebrates the Citizens of Minneapolis in ‘City of Heroes’

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 18:35:00 +0000

Accomplished singer-songwriter and vocal activist Billy Bragg’s latest song was the result of a spark of inspiration lit while trying to process the multiple tragedies spawned from the ongoing occupation of Minneapolis by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

“City of Heroes” was written and recorded in just 24 hours, and served as a creative response to the internationally reported and captured on video murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by ICE agents. The two violent deaths, which occurred just a few days apart, led Bragg to craft a song that channels the overwhelming mix of emotions born from witnessing these needless deaths, played thousands of times on screens across the globe.

The murder of Alex Pretti was horrifically shocking,” Billy Bragg says in a statement. “All the more so as we are still reeling from the images of the murder of Renee Good. That these crimes can be committed in broad daylight, on camera, and yet no one is held accountable only adds to the injustice.”

Recorded, engineered, and mixed by Jamie Parker at Echo Town Studio in Dorset, England, “City of Heroes” serves as a stirring protest anthem that sonically underlines the power of resistance in the face of fascism.

“When they came for the immigrants, I got in their face / When they came for the refugees, I got in their face / When they came for the five-year-olds, I got in their face / When they came to my neighbourhood, I just got in their face.”

At its core, “City of Heroes” is a tribute to the strength, determination, and perseverance of Minneapolis residents, who continue to peacefully protest while constantly working to protect their fellow neighbors.

“I wrote this song as a tribute to the bravery of the people of Minneapolis,” explains Bragg. “Knowing that these trigger-happy ICE thugs operate in their midst, they are still willing to put themselves in harm’s way to defend their community. Their resistance is an inspiration to us all.”

The track comes to a close with a powerful final message and gut-punching lyrical oath: “I will bear witness to terror / I will bear witness to tyranny / I will bear witness to murder / I will bear witness to fascism.”

Steelism’s Jeremy Fetzer Announces Solo Album, Shares Lead Single ‘Time Slips Away’

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 16:48:00 +0000

Multi-talented musician and producer Jeremy Fetzer has shared “Time Slips Away,” the captivating lead single from his upcoming debut solo record, An Evening at the Fetzicon Lounge. Set for release on Feb. 27 via Fetzicon/Thirty Tigers, the LP features 10 instrumental tracks co-produced by Fetzer and Jeremy Ferguson inside Nashville’s Battle Tapes studio.

Fetzer, a longtime anchor of the East Nashville creative community and guitarist of instrumental duo Steelism, recruited an impressive roster of musical talents to help bring Fetzicon Lounge to life. Drummer Jon Radford provides rhythmic grooves that complement Fetzer’s guitar and synth lines, along with other contributions from Nicole Atkins, Wilco‘s Patrick Sansone, and Steelism bandmate Spencer Cullum.

“An Evening at the Fetzicon Lounge is the creation of my own soundtrack to a 1970s, vaguely European, B-movie,” Fetzer shares in a statement. “For one of those films where it appears that more time, energy, and resources were put into the soundtrack than the movie itself. Perhaps the film was just an excuse to make the music?

“These days there’s an extraordinary amount of noise with many words being thrown around, and nothing makes more sense to me than working on instrumental music in solitude,” he continues. “Not living in a world that is being algorithmically given to me, but creating my own little worlds.

“Fetzicon is my creative universe—the back studio behind my home where I write and record music, as well as make art and designs. This music was written late at night on guitars, basses, and synthesizers. And then with my morning coﬀee I’d edit and make sense of the evening’s mess… nighttime for the creation of ideas and morning-time for the execution of those ideas,” concludes Fetzer.

Jeremy Fetzer, An Evening at the Fetzicon Lounge

1. “Glass Mushroom”
2. “Lost Dog”
3. “Flying Into CAK”
4. “Slightly Obscured”
5. “Live in a Lava Lamp”
6. “Time Slips Away”
7. “Reintroduction”
8. “Future U”
9. “Mijor Keys”
10. “Undeveloped Film”

Out February 27 via Fetzicon/Thirty Tigers

An Evening at the Fetzicon Lounge will be the latest release on Fetzicon, an imprint of Thirty Tigers first launched in 2020, the same year as the release of his solo EP, Phases. When he’s not busy working as a studio musician or designing album artwork for everyone from Dolly Parton to The Killers‘ Brandon Flowers, Fetzer has released a sprinkling of instrumental tracks leading up to what looks to be an especially compelling solo debut.

If you’re planning a trip to Nashville or are already within traveling distance, you’ll have two upcoming chances to experience An Evening at the Fetzicon Lounge live and in person in the coming weeks. First, Fetzer will serve as the opening act for Nicole Atkins’ Feb. 28 show at The Analog. On April 23, he’ll take the stage as support for Robyn Hitchcock, who shared the following words of support:

“I just had a proper listen to Fetzicon Lounge whilst doing some painting – it’s superb,” says Hitchcock. “A rich and magical soundtrack to a parallel consciousness – hopefully someone will now make a movie to go with it: bravo!”

You can learn more about the two concert dates and access ticketing info by visiting Jeremy Fetzer’s official website.

Billy Strings Plots Summer 2026 Headlining Tour

Road warrior and alt-bluegrass virtuoso Billy Strings is extending his already busy 2026 touring schedule into the summer. Announced today (Jan. 27), the string of 11 new shows will take the genre-melding talent to seven U.S. cities this July and August.

The leg of shows begins on July 14 with a stop in Roanoke, Va., ahead of shows in Boston, Hartford, Conn., and back-to-back nights in Portsmouth, Va., Portland, Maine, Bethel, N.Y., along with two very special shows in his hometown of Ionia, Mich. The multi-talented 33-year-old’s summer tour dates follow a previously announced, now mostly sold-out spring tour that stretches from early February through the end of April.

Billy Strings had a landmark year in 2025, riding high from the release of his fourth studio album, Highway Prayers. That record, which he co-produced with Jon Brion, earned a nomination for Best Bluegrass Album at the 68th annual Grammy Awards, which will be presented live on CBS this Sunday, Feb. 1.

Tickets for all Billy Strings tour dates listed below, aside from his two noted performances in Ionia, Mich., will go on sale this Friday, Jan. 30, beginning at 10 a.m. local time.

Steve Earle, Shakey Graves, and More to Play Pickathon 2026

Lorie Liebig — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 21:20:00 +0000

Portland’s beloved Pickathon has revealed this year’s roster of performers, and it’s an impressive mix of established greats alongside rising artists. The event has separated its lineup into two groups: headlining “legends” and burgeoning “discovery artists,” resulting in an eclectic blend of acts set to appear during the four-day event.

Steve Earle, Shakey Graves, and Built to Spill are among this year’s highlighted legends, alongside Alela Diane, Marcos Valle, Acid King, Meridian Brothers, and Mexican Institute of Sound. The lengthy list of discovery artists includes Caitlin Canty, Briscoe, Hudson Freeman, Folk Bitch Trio, Ken Pomeroy, Boy Golden, Friendship, Hannah Juanita, and many more. A full list of confirmed acts is below. Additional artists are expected to be added in the coming weeks.

“In an era of increasingly corporate music festivals, Pickathon remains proudly independent and deeply intentional,” festival founder Zale Schoenborn shares in a press release. “We don’t book artists because they’re obvious and everywhere. We book them because they’re pointing to what’s next, and over 26 years we’ve built a community that trusts in the Pickathon process.”

Pickathon 2026 will be held July 30-Aug. 2 at Pendarvis Farm in Happy Valley, Ore. Spanning over 80 acres, the festival offers music fans the perfect setting to enjoy sets from must-hear new voices before they break into the mainstream. If you want to experience the closest thing to a music festival mixed with an all-ages summer camp, Pickathon is for you. Full weekend and single-day passes are available for purchase while supplies last via the official Pickathon website.

Concertgoers can likely expect to hear cuts from his three already-released EPs from the project—I Gave You Everything I Had, Secondhand Smoke, and Brown’s Diner Bar—along with familiar hits and fan favorites from throughout his impressive career.

Tigers Jaw Drop New Single ‘Ghost,’ Plot North American Tour

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 07 Jan 2026 17:48:48 +0000

Pennsylvania-based rock band Tigers Jaw has shared another cut from their upcoming seventh album, Lost on You. Their latest track, “Ghost,” recalls a moment when one is unexpectedly confronted with someone from their past, and the reality of how much can change as time quickly passes.

“The genesis of ‘Ghost’ was a chance run-in with a person I grew up with,” vocalist and guitarist Ben Walsh shares in a statement. “A run-in that would have been warm, welcomed, and cherished at one point in my life held no significance after the slow, steady passage of time and growing apart. The quick flash of memories with this person felt like a glimpse into a past life, or like seeing a ghost. Some people don’t stay in your life forever, and that’s OK, but it’s very interesting which memories get dredged up when you see a once familiar face.”

“You arrive at the gate / And they turn you away / And you’re crushed by the weight / Of the games that they play / They deprive you of it / Then sell you a supplement.”

“Ghost” is the second single released off Tigers Jaw’s Will Yip-produced record, Lost on You, due out on March 27 via Hopeless Records. Walsh, vocalist and keys player Brianna Collins, guitarist Mark Lebiecki, bassist Colin Gorman, and drummer Teddy Roberts will be hitting the road in support of their latest project this spring.

Announced today, the 37-date tour is set to begin on March 27 in Amityville, N.Y., and includes stops in Los Angeles, Portland, Austin, Vancouver, Denver, Boston, Salt Lake City, and Chicago. California indie rockers Hot Flash Heat Wave will support the first 18 dates, with math rock outfit Pool Kids taking over as the opening act for the remaining dates noted below.

Tickets for all dates will go on sale this Friday, Jan. 9, at 10 a.m. local time. Additional information about the tour and ticketing options can be found via Tigers Jaw’s official website.

Dry Cleaning Cling Onto Optimism in New Track ‘Joy’

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 06 Jan 2026 00:57:56 +0000

We’re just a few days out from the release of Dry Cleaning’s third album, Secret Love, but the South London-based rockers are sharing another stellar LP track early. Today (Jan. 5), the rollicking four-piece delivered “Joy,” an anthem for anyone needing a little more positivity in their lives.

The band used a variety of advertisements from Virginia Tech University’s History of Food and Drink archive to source lyrics for the song. It also serves as the closing track on Secret Love, offering a message of hope to listeners during the 11-track record’s final moments.

“Recently I’ve felt pessimistic about the world,” band frontperson and lyricist Florence Shaw shares in a statement. “The influence of what they call ‘the manosphere,’ the genocide against Palestinians continuing despite huge protests, the rise of the racist Reform party in the UK, the promotion of AI in art and music. I wanted to try and stoke my drive to stay positive and spread softness and compassion. The wishes in the song have a naive quality.”

“Joy, we’ll build a cute, harmless world,” they declare in the track’s blazing chorus. “Don’t want one from you, cult.”

“Joy” is the last of four pre-release singles from Secret Love, produced by Cate Le Bon and due out this Friday (Jan. 9) via 4AD. Dry Cleaning has also shared the track’s official music video, which features guitarist Tom Dowse and choreography by BULLYACHE.

“We were looking to get away from the longer form, narrative and impressionistic confines of a typical music video and give ourselves, friends and fans a way to respond to the music in a more expressive way that feels personal,” Dowse says of the video.

We’ve seen the vastly different ways people behave at our shows – pogoing sing-alongs, full wig-outs, lone figures inhabiting the sound in their own private universe,” he continues. “With that in mind, we asked Bullyache to design a set of moves to each song on Secret Love as a starting point for ourselves and others to mimic or interpret them in a fun and idiosyncratic way, regardless of technical ability.”

Boy Golden and Cat Clyde Get Love-Struck in New Duet ‘Cowboy Dreams’

Lorie Liebig — Mon, 05 Jan 2026 23:15:07 +0000

Buzzworthy artist Boy Golden delivers a groovy, genre-melding gem with “Cowboy Dreams,” an irresistible duet with fellow standout singer-songwriter Cat Clyde. The sensual, guitar-driven track spotlights the pair’s undeniable hypnotic vocals, which mesh together with ease, resulting in a psychedelic yet passionate proclamation of love.

“Sewing this song together with Boy Golden was so much fun,” shares Clyde. “During one of our collaborative sessions, he brought this to the table, with a substantial amount of lyrics. It felt excitingly obvious to me which lines felt really strong and in what order they were asking to fall, to tell a cohesive and complete story. The groove of the demo was really inspiring to me, and the harmony I created felt like I was singing my own version of the song alongside him. As with all the work we create together, this process was an inspiring, joyful experience, and I am excited and in celebration to be a part of this release.”

Best of Our Possible Lives Album Artwork

“Cowboy Dreams” is the latest single off Boy Golden’s upcoming album, Best of Our Possible Lives, due out Feb. 13 via Six Shooter Records. The 12-track LP includes “Moontan,” another collaboration with Clyde, who is set to hit the road with Boy Golden this spring for a stretch of U.S. tour dates listed below. In September, Clyde shared “Wild One,” the stellar Canadian-born singer-songwriter’s first new track since inking a deal with Concord Records, signaling that more new music is likely to arrive soon.

“Everyone you meet is a mirror, showing you some part of yourself – Cat shows me a part of myself that I really like; a more free, more creative, bolder version of myself,” Boy Golden explains in a statement. “I think that comes through in this song. Her harmony, which runs through the entire song, is perfect. The video for ‘Cowboy Dreams’ is inspired by a music video Sade made, where she is riding a galloping horse, and it rules. I spent a month taking riding lessons, and I’m so glad I did!”

Sabrina Carpenter Gets Starstruck by Miss Piggy in New Trailer for ‘The Muppet Show’

Lorie Liebig — Mon, 05 Jan 2026 22:11:03 +0000

It’s time to play the music, it’s time to light the lights: The Muppet Show is coming back to a screen near you next month. A new reboot of the beloved Jim Henson series is heading to Disney+ and ABC on Feb. 4, in celebration of the original’s 50th anniversary.

“Kermit, Miss Piggy, and the beloved Muppet gang are back with a brand-new special event,” an official synopsis of the project reads. “Music, comedy, and a whole lot of chaos are bound to ensue when The Muppets once again take the stage of the original Muppet Theatre with their very special guest, Sabrina Carpenter!”

Carpenter, who has become one of the biggest new pop stars in recent years with hits including “Espresso” and “Manchild,” appears in the project’s latest teaser trailer. In the clip, which you can see in full below, she’s seen showering Miss Piggy with compliments and trying to navigate the production’s predictable chaos found backstage. Her appearance tips a hat to the original series’ extensive list of celebrity special guests, which included Johnny Cash, Linda Ronstadt, Elton John, Gladys Knight, and Paul Simon.

Seth Rogen, accomplished actor and executive producer of The Muppet Show revival, also makes a guest appearance, seen gaining some thoughtful career advice from Fozzie Bear. Many of the longtime Muppet performers have reprised their roles in the film, including Dave Goelz, Bill Barretta, and Eric Jacobson, helping bring the franchise’s many familiar characters back to life on-screen.

The Muppet Show will be available to watch via broadcast on ABC and streaming via Disney+ on Feb. 4. If you’re itching to revisit the original series, which originally aired from 1976 to 1981, you can stream all five seasons of the show via Disney+ now.

Watch the official teaser trailer for The Muppet Show below:

Peter Gabriel Gets Guidance From the Skies for New Album ‘o\i’

Lorie Liebig — Mon, 05 Jan 2026 21:28:13 +0000

Influential art-rock musician, singer-songwriter, and activist Peter Gabriel is ready to share new music with fans and plans to roll out a series of songs with some direction from above. The 75-year-old artist will be releasing unique remixes of tracks off his upcoming album, o\i, to coincide with the moon cycle.

On each full moon of 2026, Gabriel will share Tchad Blake’s “Dark-Side Mix” of a selected song, followed by Mark ‘Spike’ Stent’s “Bright-Side Mix” version of the track during each month’s new moon, along with accompanying visual art.

In the statement below, Gabriel provides an in-depth look at the creation of and inspiration behind his upcoming project, which appears to follow in the thematic footsteps of his 2023 record, i/o.

“I’m delighted to say that tonight, at the full moon, we will be beginning another year of full moon releases under the name o\i.

The songs are a mix of thoughts and feelings.  I have been thinking about the future and how we might respond to it. We are sliding into a period of transition like no other, most likely triggered in three waves; AI, quantum computing, and the brain computer interface. Artists have a role to look into the mists and, when they catch sight of something, to hold up a mirror.

These are my lumpy bits –i/o: the inside has a new way out and o\i: the outside has a new way in.

We are not, and have never been, the exclusively self-determining, independent beings that have been given the run of the world. We are something else, a part of nature, a part of everything, and feeling a connection, shaking our booty, and giving and receiving some love can help us find our place – and put a big smile on our faces.

Some of these songs are going to form part of the brain project that I’ve been exploring for a number of years, and some just make me feel happy. I hope you like them.”

Along with his formal announcement of the project via a video posted to his official YouTube account on Jan. 3, Peter Gabriel shared “Been Undone (Dark-Side Mix),” the first featured track off o\i. The entracing song, which was written and produced by Gabriel, features Janaina Mello Landini‘s art piece “Ciclotrama 156 (Palindrome)” in its cover art.

“Been Undone (Dark-Side Mix)” Single Artwork

“The way she takes the rope and moves it out, unravelling it, is almost like fractals or tree trunks and looks like the brain in some ways too, so I see a lot of entry points,” Gabriel says of Landini.

The official release date and track list for o\i have yet to be released, but fans can expect to hear Stent’s “Bright-Side Mix” of “Been Undone” to drop around Jan. 18, which marks the first new moon of 2026. You can read more about the project by visiting Peter Gabriel’s official website here.

Sydney Quiseng Carries the Weight of Heartbreak in ‘When a Good Thing Ends’

Lorie Liebig — Mon, 05 Jan 2026 00:57:13 +0000

You may have already been introduced to the vocal talents of Sydney Quiseng as the frontwoman of indie-pop trio Echosmith, whose track “Cool Kids” became one of the biggest hits of 2013. With her emotional new track “When a Good Thing Ends,” the captivating singer-songwriter continues to carve her own path as a solo artist, while planting her feet firmly in the Americana realm.

Quiseng, a California native now based in Nashville, reflects on the difficulty of trying to heal a broken heart while life seems to be flying by, while the past still chains you down.

“The world keeps spinning / And you’re still in it / You just get dizzy / The clock, it won’t stop ticking / The world’s not ending / It just feels like it is / But that’s what happens when / When a good thing ends / When a good thing ends.”

“‘When a Good Thing Ends’ captures the heartache of watching something slip away, even when you see it coming,” Quiseng shares of the track. “It’s that dizzy feeling of moving forward when your heart’s left behind. It’s a song for anyone learning to let go.”

“When a Good Thing Ends” Single Artwork

The release of “When a Good Thing Ends” follows her previous single, “Coffee Shop in Kyoto,” which dropped in November. It’s still unclear if these new tracks indicate an upcoming full-length project, which would be Quiseng’s first multi-track release since dropping her first solo EP, Phases, in June 2025. Either way, we’ll be eagerly keeping our eyes peeled for more fresh music from the 28-year-old talent in the months ahead.

On Jan. 19, she’ll be joined by her Echosmith bandmates for an intimate one-night-only hometown concert event and baby shower at The Mint in Los Angeles. Attendees will hear live performances of fan favorites from Echosmith, solo tracks from Quiseng, and maybe even a few special surprises. Tickets for the show, including VIP and meet-and-greet packages, are now available for purchase.

Raul Malo, Award-Winning Frontman of The Mavericks, Dies at 60

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 09 Dec 2025 19:39:16 +0000

Raul Malo, captivating frontman of the genre-melding band The Mavericks, has died. He was 60 years old. The news was announced to the public this morning (Dec. 9) via social media posts shared across the band and Malo’s personal accounts.

“At 8:52 pm on December 8th, 2025, my love… our boys’ father… a devoted son and brother… and a friend to so many, gained his angel wings,” reads an emotional Instagram post written by Malo’s wife of 34 years, Betty, on Tuesday morning. “He was called to do another gig — this time in the sky — and he’s flying high like an eagle.”

In June 2024, Malo shared he was receiving treatment for colon cancer and openly documented his experiences with the disease via social media. Earlier this year, The Mavericks were forced to drop out of The Cosmic Roundup & Rodeo, a co-headlining tour with Dwight Yoakam, following Malo’s diagnosis of leptomeningeal disease. The rare condition, also known as LMD, occurs when cancer cells spread to membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.

Born on August 7, 1965, Raul Francisco Martínez-Malo Jr. was raised by parents who had immigrated from Cuba to his hometown of Miami, where he formed The Mavericks with guitarist Robert Reynolds in 1989. Shortly after the band inked a major-label record deal with MCA Nashville, Malo relocated to Nashville in the early 1990s, where he lived until his death. Over the years, The Mavericks released 12 studio albums, took 15 singles onto the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, and earned a Grammy Award, along with multiple Country Music Association Awards and Academy of Country Music Awards.

“Though his earthly body may have passed, Raul’s spirit will live on forever in heaven, and here on earth through the music, joy, and light he brought forth,” a post on The Mavericks’ official Instagram account reads. “His contributions to American and Latin music will be everlasting, as his songs and voice touched fans and fellow artists around the world.”

The family has shared their thanks for the public’s love and support and asks for privacy at this time. Malo is survived by his wife, Betty; his sons Dino, Victor, and Max; his mother, Norma; his sister, Carol; and his longtime bandmates of The Mavericks, Paul Deakin, Eddie Perez, and Jerry Dale McFadden.

FKA twigs Confirms International ‘Body High Tour’ for 2026

Lorie Liebig — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 20:56:01 +0000

It’s been a busy 2025 for genre-melding artist FKA twigs, who dropped two captivating albums, EUSEXUA and EUSEXUA Afterglow, earlier this year. Next spring, the multi-talented artist will take her latest projects out on the road via an international headlining tour.

Revealed today (Dec. 1), her Body High Tour will kick off on March 14 in Miami and will make its way to venues across the U.S. and Canada through April.

Leah Blevins Shares Honky-Tonk Heartbreaker ‘All Dressed Up’

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 20:13:00 +0000

Kentucky-born singer-songwriter Leah Blevins is set to release All Dressed Up, produced by The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach, on March 20, 2026, via Easy Eye Sound. Today (Nov. 13), the captivating musician and vocalist has shared the record’s gut-punching title track, a honky-tonk heartbreaker that captures the raw, powerful magic of old school country jukebox ballads.

“There are all kinds of emotions in this world, and the best songs are a tangle of sometimes opposite feelings,” reflects Blevins. “‘All Dressed Up’ is that hopeful, wonderful feeling of being completely in love – and how wrecking it can be when you realize how far from that reality you are.

“When you realize you’re a fool, well, that’s what the chorus is all about,” she adds.

“I got all dressed up to be let down / When you drag my heart on the muddy ground,” Blevins declares in the song’s chorus. “I was riding high / Everybody knows / When you crash and burn / That’s the way it goes / That’s the way it goes.”

Blevins hails from Sandy Hook, Kentucky, the same hometown of late, great country artist Keith Whitley. Naturally, she grew up surrounded by the sounds of classic country music and bluegrass, including fellow Kentucky natives Patty Loveless and Dwight Yoakam. The region’s unique batch of talented artists and musical soundscapes left a lasting mark on Blevins, shaping her approach to songwriting.

“I write what I feel, what I think other people feel, too,” Blevins says. “Dan [Auerbach] is someone who gets [that] there’s more to a song than what’s on the surface. He’s not afraid to leave room on the tracks for the emotions to spread out and really color the recording. As a co-writer and producer, he creates something that is almost beyond honest, which I love.”

Watch the official music video for “All Dressed Up,” produced by Bella Liberati with direction from Ford Fairchild, below:

Brandi Carlile, Patty Loveless Among Performers Added to 2025 CMA Awards

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 15:09:00 +0000

We are less than a week away from the 59th annual CMA Awards, and this year’s roster of performing artists has expanded. Powerhouse singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile and Country Music Hall of Fame member Patty Loveless are among the acts set to take the stage inside Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 19.

Entertainer of the Year nominee Chris Stapleton will provide a rendition of “Bad As I Used To Be,” his track from the recent F1: The Movie soundtrack, along with a collaborative version of “A Song to Sing,” his duet with Miranda Lambert. Kelsea Ballerini will perform “I Sit in Parks,” a cut from her brand new Mount Pleasant EP, for the very first time. Kenny Chesney, who was just inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in October, will mark this major milestone with a special, still mostly under wraps performance from the CMA Awards stage.

Old Dominion, who have been crowned CMA Vocal Group of the Year seven times, will take viewers through a career-spanning medley of their biggest hits. Breakout act and fellow CMA Vocal Group of the Year nominees The Red Clay Strays will share their latest single, “People Hatin’,” and four-time nominee this year, Riley Green is set to perform his No. 1 hit, “Worst Way.”

Today’s announcement expands upon the previously revealed first round of confirmed performers, which included host Lainey Wilson, Luke Combs, Megan Moroney, Ella Langley, Shaboozey, BigXthaPlug, and Stephen Wilson Jr. Wilson, Moroney, and Langley are each up for six awards, leading this year’s list of nominees, which was unveiled on Sept. 8.

The 59th Annual CMA Awards will be broadcast live on Wednesday, Nov. 19, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and will be available to stream the next day exclusively on Hulu.

Valerie June Pays Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne With ‘Rollin’ and Tumblin”

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 22:19:00 +0000

Gifted lyricist and musician Valerie June spotlights the close ties that bind the classic blues and hard rock genres with her surprising new cover. Released today (Nov. 12), her innovative, gritty rendition of the classic blues standard acts as a fitting musical tribute to the late heavy metal icon, Ozzy Osbourne.

Propelled by wavy, distorted banjo expertly plucked by June, ‘Rollin’ and Tumblin’’ gains a fresh, genre-melding soundscape that’s unpredictable yet never strays too far over the edge.

“Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne’s dark, heavy metal sound was heavily influenced by the blues,” June reflects in a statement. “As a multi-genre artist, I wanted to take this old standard and perform it with my banjo running through a super fuzzy electric guitar amp. Working with Matt Marinelli (producer, bass) and Andy Macleod (drums), we turned this song upside down and inside out.

“The heavy metal banjo breaks the chains that confine it to traditional forms by meeting rock and roll,” she shares. “The result is a fierce and wild reconstruction that is Ozzy-influenced and dedicated to his memory.”

Concord Records

June is currently out on her Big Ole Worldwide Tour, which includes upcoming stops in Spain, France, England, the Netherlands, and more before the end of the year. You can view a full list of her tour stops below, and explore ticketing options for each show by visiting Valerie June’s official website.

Chris Isaak Partners With Pet Nonprofit for 2025 Holiday Tour

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 21:25:00 +0000

Accomplished musician and songwriter Chris Isaak is reviving his annual fundraising holiday tour for 2025. Through a partnership with BISSELL Pet Foundation, the newly announced U.S. live dates will offer fans a chance to bring home a new best friend.

From Dec. 1-15, 2025, the Empty the Shelters adoption event will offer reduced-fee adoptions at participating local shelters in cities included on Isaak’s tour roster.

“I’ve been working with musicians and actors most of my life, so getting to bring animals on stage was a natural step up,” Isaak shares in a statement. “I knew that they could be counted on to steal the show, and they always do! Partnering with BISSELL Pet Foundation again this year feels like a great way to both celebrate the holidays and help get dogs and cats a home. It makes our Christmas show much more special—the pets get out of the shelter for the evening, and hopefully you will get to find a forever friend!”

During this special event, adoption fees for animals will be $70 or less, and all pets will be spayed, neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before heading to their forever homes. You can find a list of participating animal shelters here.

“We are so grateful for Chris Isaak’s commitment to bringing awareness to adoption and helping pets find homes,” says Cathy Bissell, founder of the non-profit BISSELL Pet Foundation. “Shelters are full of desirable pets of every size and age—many who have lived in homes, are house-trained, already spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and ready to become part of your family. Together, we can end the year by giving shelter pets what they deserve most—a loving family.”

Tickets for the tour dates listed below are on sale now. You can find more information about the concerts and ticketing via Chris Isaak’s official website.

Robyn Feels the Rush in New Single ‘Dopamine’

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 20:46:00 +0000

Pop hitmaker Robyn has returned with her first new track since the release of her eighth album, Honey, in 2018. Her long-awaited comeback single, “Dopamine,” dropped today (Nov. 12), and proves the Swedish-born talent’s magic touch hasn’t tarnished over the passage of time.

Crafted with longtime creative collaborator Klas Åhlund, “Dopamine” is an irresistible bop with substance. Although the song delivers a dancefloor-ready soundscape, Robyn uses it as a melodic backdrop for timely lyrical commentary on how technology has inserted itself into our lives, minimizing our human experiences into easily digestible data points.

“Everyone has a phone where they see their heart rate, and we’re learning how to decode our emotions through the hormones and chemical substances in our bodies,” shares Robyn. “It’s almost like we don’t even accept that we’re human anymore, like we’re trying to shoot ourselves out of it and explain every single thing—which I think is great, but that’s also why the world is s***, this idea that you can figure out and win life or something.

“The doubleness of ‘Dopamine’ is having an emotion that is super real, super strong, intense, enjoyable or painful, and at the same time knowing that this is just a biological process in my body—and then not to choose religion or science,” she continues. “To just accept that they’re there together and to be able to go in between.”

Single artwork via Young

“Dopamine” was released on Young, the record label helmed by electro-pop artist and producer Jamie xx. So far, we don’t have any confirmation that a new full-length album is on the way, but we’re keeping our fingers crossed for more art to come from the queen of timeless, pulsating dance-pop.

Chris Stapleton Recruits Josh Brolin for Dramatic ‘White Horse’ Music Video

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 17:58:00 +0000

Chris Stapleton heads to the desert landscapes of Marfa, Texas, in his new action-packed music video for “White Horse.” Accomplished actor Josh Brolin, Mae McKagan, and Tommy Martinez star in the cinematic short film, which also includes appearances from Stapleton and his talented wife and musical collaborator, Morgane.

The captivating visual accompaniment to Stapleton’s standout track from his 2023 album, Higher, was produced by Strange Arcade and directed by Running Bear Films.

“Listening to ‘White Horse’ over and over again, we visualized a couple on the run and wanted to add some complexity with the parental sheriff relationship between Mae and Josh’s characters,” Stephen Kinigopoulos and Alexa King Stone of Running Bear Films share in a statement. “What was just going to be an action-packed love story, also became a story about letting go and trust.”

The music video’s arrival is the latest musical release since “Bad as I Used to Be,” Stapleton’s contribution to film soundtrack F1 the Album, dropped in May. He’s nominated in three categories, including Entertainer of the Year, at this year’s CMA Awards, which will be held in Nashville on Nov. 19. He’ll spend much of early next year out on the road, with multiple sold-out headlining U.S. dates scheduled through January and February. You can find more information about the shows listed below by visiting Chris Stapleton’s official website.

Vanessa Carlton Lets Go of the Reins With New Track ‘Animal’

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 22:42:00 +0000

Singer-songwriter and seasoned musician Vanessa Carlton is ready to turn the page to a new chapter in her musical career with the release of her captivating single, “Animal.” The track serves as a preview of Carlton’s long-awaited seventh studio album, Veils, which is expected to drop sometime in early 2026.

“Animal” was produced by Dave Fridmann, known for his stellar work with The Flaming Lips, MGMT, and OK Go. It’s his first creative collaboration with Carlton since serving as producer of her 2020 record, Love Is an Art. Together, Fridmann and Carlton crafted the hypnotic track’s mystical soundscape, which serves as the intriguing backdrop to its lyrical tale of finding the strength in letting fate steer your path.

Liberman Records

“The song is about stoicism,” Carlton shares. “The idea of knowing we cannot control external forces; she is being hunted, and she accepts the reality of what is happening. The acceptance allows her to truly see the animal. Does she even identify with this creature? Every human has an animal within them. Are you hunting? Are you being hunted? Who is the animal?”

Although the unveiling of “Animal” confirms more new music is in the works, fans will have to wait a little longer for additional details about Vanessa Carlton’s upcoming full-length project. Until then, we recommend adding the track to your wistful wintertime walk playlist — you can thank me later.

Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson Among 2025 CMA Awards Performers

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 06 Nov 2025 19:03:04 +0000

We are only a few days out from the 2025 CMA Awards, which will return to downtown Nashville for its 59th year. Today (Nov. 6), the Country Music Association revealed its first set of artists confirmed to take the stage inside Bridgestone Arena during the Nov. 19 award ceremony.

Along with her duties as the returning CMA Awards host, six-time nominee Lainey Wilson will also take the stage to perform an as-yet-unannounced song. Entertainer of the Year nominee and past winner Luke Combs will treat viewers to a live rendition of his latest single, “Back in the Saddle.” Combs will also team up with rapper BigXthaPlug to perform their recent genre-melding collaboration, “Pray Hard.” Shaboozey and Stephen Wilson Jr. will also join forces on stage for “Took a Walk,” a cut from the 2025 horror film The Long Walk soundtrack. Along with their collaboration, Wilson Jr. will take the stage again solo with a cover of Ben E. King’s “Stand By Me.”

Megan Moroney, who earned the award for CMA New Artist of the Year in 2024, is set to share a live version of her current single, “6 Months Later.” Ella Langley, who is up for six nominations this year, will also perform a fresh new track, “Choosin’ Texas,” which dropped last month.

Tucker Wetmore and Zach Top have each earned a performance slot during the ceremony. Wetmore will deliver a rendition of his recent single, “Wind Up Missin’ You,” while Top will take the stage to perform “Guitar,” a track off his 2025 sophomore album, Ain’t In It for My Health.

The 59th Annual CMA Awards will air live on Wednesday, Nov. 19, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and will be available to stream the next day exclusively via Hulu. A limited number of tickets to the ceremony, which will be held inside Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, are on sale now via Ticketmaster.

Nashville-based indie rockers The Brook & The Bluff have a brand new batch of music ready to share this spring. Released today (Nov. 5), “Super Bowl Sunday” offers an intriguing first taste of the band’s upcoming album, Werewolf, set for release on March 6 via Dualtone Records.

Although the groovy, guitar-driven track boasts an upbeat, easily accessible soundscape, “Super Bowl Sunday” offers plenty of lyrical depth as it explores themes of leaning into escapism over fear of the unknown.

“Do you wanna throw it all away? / Find a place to feel something / Or are we standing on our last leg / Running in circles for nothing?”

“‘Super Bowl Sunday’ is a song about falling back into a box that feels comfortable, resisting growth and staying stuck, mostly out of being plain old scared,” The Brook & The Bluff share. “It is looking at your life at a crossroads and saying something insane like ‘I’d rather watch the game with the boys’ instead of making a real decision. It’s all of that avoidance, covered up with some rippin’ guitar.”

Dualtone Records

Produced by Micah Tawlks, Werewolf features 10 new tracks, including “Super Bowl Sunday,” and was crafted during an intensive creative chapter focused on exploring themes of personal growth while evolving their sound further than ever before. The band cites influential classic rock acts like Tom Petty, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and the Eagles as inspiration while crafting the record’s still distinctly modern soundscape.

You can catch the band out on the road next year in support of Werewolf during their newly announced headlining tour, which begins in mid-March and stretches through early May. Additional information about the live dates listed below can be found by visiting The Brook & The Bluff’s official website.

Low Cut Connie’s ‘Settle Down’ Captures a Harrowing Snapshot of America

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 05 Nov 2025 22:05:18 +0000

As Americans discuss and reflect on the impact and results of the first major elections since President Trump’s inauguration, Low Cut Connie has delivered a new single that serves as a timely rallying cry for change.

Released today (Nov. 5), “Settle Down” offers the perspective of a weary parent holding on to hope for humanity. The latest track from singer-songwriter and musician Adam Weiner is a call for perseverance to Americans rallying against authoritarianism, along with continued action on behalf of those targeted within the nation’s immigrant communities.

“The voice in ‘Settle Down’ is that of someone who is watching America slide into violence and corruption,” Weiner reflects in a statement. “He has witnessed militarized policing against our civilians, brutality against immigrant communities, and a rise in authoritarian censorship. He has fought many battles for human dignity, been beaten down, but does not give up the fight.”

Single Artwork Photo by Alex Wroblewski, Layout by Joe Montone

For the moving track’s accompanying music video, Weiner recruited acclaimed photojournalist Alex Wroblewski to help create a striking visual piece that reflects this pivotal chapter in American history. The photo essay, edited by Bob Sweeney, showcases snapshots of militarized policing captured throughout recent years, starting with images Wroblewski captured in Ferguson, Mo., in 2014, along with photos taken during ICE Raids and National Guard deployments in Washington, D.C., Memphis, and Chicago earlier this year.

“This is the second video I collaborated with Adam on – we made a video five years ago for his song ‘Look What They Did’ that documented urban decay in Atlantic City, N.J.,” shares Wroblewski. “This project incorporates still pictures from over the last decade of my career as a photojournalist. The images collectively capture a more polarized and divided country politically. They document what was and is happening between protesters and police and the tension that has been felt virtually everywhere – from the streets of the suburban Midwest and American South to the steps of the U.S. Capitol and across Washington D.C.”

Alongside the single and video’s release, Low Cut Connie has also confirmed 14 new solo live shows set for next spring. His “Livin in the USA” tour kicks off on March 3 in Chicago and includes stops in New York City, Pittsburgh, and Nashville. Tickets for all dates listed below are on sale now.

No Kid Hungry does such incredible work directly within local communities around the country, and I’m so grateful we can join forces to support our neighbors during such a difficult time.”

Members of Morris’s official fan club, The Lunatics, can access an exclusive presale beginning Nov. 5 at 10 a.m. local time.

The War and Treaty Brilliantly Reimagine the Country Classic ‘Whiskey River’

Lorie Liebig — Mon, 03 Nov 2025 20:56:00 +0000

Although it was originally a successful single for Johnny Bush in 1972, “Whiskey River” is arguably one of the most recognizable songs in Willie Nelson‘s expansive songbook. Acclaimed vocal duo The War and Treaty has successfully made that familiar track all their own, a feat few artists can achieve with such ease.

Michael and Tanya Trotter’s commanding vocals take center stage on the cover, which was originally recorded during Luck Reunion 2023, the musical festival held on the grounds of Nelson’s Texas ranch. On Oct. 31, the husband-and-wife duo released their version of “Whiskey River” across streaming platforms, delivering fans a musical gem that transcends genre lines.

Mercury Nashville

“Our version flips the emotional center,” The War & Treaty explain in a statement. “Instead of just numbing the pain, we want people to redeem it. Turn that same river into a revival. When we sing it, it’s not only about heartbreak, it’s about survival.”

Currently, the pair are out on their American Soul Revival Tour, which continues to cities across the U.S. through Nov. 21. Just eight days later, The War and Treaty will begin their stint as support for Sam Smith’s 7-date To Be Free: New York City residency, which runs through Dec. 13.

Allen Stone Puts His Own Groovy Spin on ‘Ride Like The Wind’

Lorie Liebig — Mon, 13 Oct 2025 20:55:53 +0000

Dust off your dancing shoes: Allen Stone is back with a soulful cover of a trademark track from accomplished singer-songwriter Christopher Cross. Released on Oct. 10, his energizing version of Cross’s hit debut single, “Ride Like the Wind,” provides a fresh sonic backdrop for the story-song about an outlaw trying to outrun a death sentence by journeying toward refuge in Mexico.

The cover track was born out of a collaboration with Seeker Music, which acquired the rights to Christopher Cross’s catalog of work in 2023. This fresh musical take on the 1979 track by 38-year-old Stone offers a chance for a new generation of listeners to connect with the now 74-year-old. Cross and his extensive songbook.

Although he and his bandmates added their own layer of soulful sonicality to the song, it’s clear that the importance of staying true to the magic of Cross’s original recording was at the top of Stone’s mind.

“It’s always intimidating to take on an iconic song and perform it for the world; the pressure is high,” Stone shares in a statement. “But ‘Ride Like the Wind’ is such a stellar tune, and getting to play it live in front of an audience has been a thrill. I’m so glad Seeker was down to release the cover, and stoked to have it in the setlist this tour. Christopher Cross is legendary, and we just hope we did him justice. The history behind this song is wild, from how he wrote it to that killer guitar solo at the end. It’s been cool to see the love it’s received all over the world.”

Stone will spend the rest of the year out on the road heading to venues across the U.S. and Canada for a co-headlining tour with Ripe. Tickets are on sale now for the stretch of dates listed below, which runs through Dec. 19. You can find more information about the shows and ticketing options by visiting Allen Stone’s official website.

RYMAN Feels the Warmth of a New Spark With ‘Kiss My Face’

Lorie Liebig — Mon, 13 Oct 2025 20:04:44 +0000

Rising artist RYMAN channels the magic of a blossoming romance with his latest single, “Kiss My Face.” The track, released on Oct. 10 via Mom+Pop Music, serves as an enchanting introduction to the 21-year-old singer-songwriter’s custom blend of pop, indie-folk, and rock.

“Kiss My Face” is RYMAN’s second single since inking a deal with Mom+Pop, and follows stints earlier this year opening for Role Model and Ben Kweller. Through clever, imagery-driven lyrics and warm, heartfelt vocals, he paints a picture of a special chapter from the early moments of a relationship.

“‘Kiss My Face’ tells the story of falling in love with my girlfriend and the first time we kissed — that euphoric, weightless moment when everything shifted,” explains RYMAN. “It’s one of the most defining parts of our story, and I wanted to capture that feeling forever in this song.”

“A December to remember / We erased that stain of the pressure that was building through the winter / Couldn’t fight that the change in the weather,” he proclaims in the track’s euphoric chorus. “Everything that I dreamed / Fallin’ into place / Say my name / We lift that weight / Kiss my face.”

“Kiss My Face” also gives lyrical nods to Nashville’s 8th Avenue and music venue The Basement East, and was fittingly recorded in the so-called “Music City,” which is also RYMAN’s hometown.

“I loved being able to bring this song to life in the studio with my friends and producers of the track, Hunter West, Jamie McLaughlin, and Rudey,” he shares.

RYMAN will hit the road next month as support for Mon Rovîa on select U.S. dates, which are listed below. You can find more information about the shows by visiting his official website.

No Doubt Reunites for 2026 Live Residency at Sphere Las Vegas

Lorie Liebig — Fri, 10 Oct 2025 18:08:14 +0000

After months of rumors first ignited by the band’s appearances at Coachella Music and Arts Festival in 2024, influential pop-rock outfit No Doubt is officially back with some big news to share. Today (Oct. 11), founding members Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont, and Adrian Young revealed they’ll be reuniting for a six-show residency at Sphere Las Vegas next year.

Set to kick off on May 6, No Doubt Live at Sphere marks the band’s first set of multiple new performance dates since their 2012 residency at Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles. Fittingly, the exciting announcement coincides with another special career moment for No Doubt; today marks 30 years since the release of Tragic Kingdom, the band’s massively successful third studio album.

Although details of what the show will entail are still mostly under wraps, fans can expect plenty of immersive imagery projected onto the Sphere’s massive LED display, serving as unique backdrops throughout No Doubt’s live performances.

We are stoked to play together again for our fans, to celebrate their years of love and support.”

Old Crow Medicine Show Details New Holiday Album ‘OCMS XMAS,’ Push for Peace With Lead Single

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 09 Oct 2025 20:43:16 +0000

Dust off your jingle bells: Old Crow Medicine Show is back and ready to get you into the Christmas spirit. Today (Oct. 9), the beloved string band announced OCMS XMAS, a new holiday album set for release on Nov. 21 via Hartland Records.

The 13-track project is filled to the brim with original tracks crafted by the Grammy Award-winning group to soundtrack the season. “Corn Whiskey Christmas,” “All About a Baby,” and “December 26″—the band’s first recorded track penned by member Morgan Jahnig—showcase the band’s collective talent and infectious energy. Those good-time vibes and fresh songs will also be the centerpiece of the band’s accompanying Holiday Hootenanny Tour, which runs from Dec. 3-20 (see dates listed below).

“We’re in the joy business,” shares Old Crow Medicine Show frontman Ketch Secor. “From the very start, a lot of the virtues of Christmas — the revelry, the sing-alongs, the happiness — have been present in our show.”

Hartland Records

Ahead of the tour and OCMS XMAS‘s release, the band has shared a first taste of what’s to come with their fresh take on John Lennon and Yoko Ono‘s holiday classic, “Happy Xmas (War is Over).” The track features soaring, sweet harmonies sung by the children of East Nashville’s Episcopal School of Nashville, which was founded by Secor.

“Of all the Christmas songs the radio stations drench us with as soon as the Thanksgiving feast turns to leftovers, there is only one I never tire of hearing,” Secor shares of the song. “John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s message of peace, unity, love, and understanding makes ‘Happy Xmas (War Is Over)’ an anthem all the world over.

“Some fifty years after the kids from The Harlem Community Choir lent their voices to this amazing track, the Old Crows gathered the Purple Martin Choir around a microphone in the basement of Episcopal School of Nashville, the school I started, to join us on this revered song celebrating the holiday which honors the Prince of Peace’s birth,” he continues. “Altogether, with young and old singing as one, Old Crow Medicine Show stands up with the peacemakers around the globe, pushing those in power to put an end to war.”

Watch the official music video for “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)” below:

Luke Combs Plots International My Kinda Saturday Night Tour for 2026

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 09 Oct 2025 19:14:19 +0000

Country music record-breaker Luke Combs will be hitting the road again in 2026 for a new slate of headlining stadium shows. Announced today (Oct. 9), his My Kinda Saturday Night Tour will make its way to cities across North America, Europe, and beyond beginning this spring.

The trek kicks off on March 21 with a performance at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and includes stops in Charlottesville, Va., Knoxville, Tenn., and Green Bay, Wis., before heading to Canada for shows in Toronto and Montreal. In July, he’ll head overseas to Paris, Amsterdam, Edinburgh, and more, before taking the stage for one last tour stop at London’s famed Wembley Stadium on Aug. 1.

Combs has recruited an impressive, genre-spanning mix of special guests who will join him on stage during this special set of shows. Dierks Bentley will appear on all U.S. and Canadian dates, Irish pop-rock band The Script will be on hand for Combs’ noteworthy performance in their home country at Slane Castle, and Thomas Rhett will help close out the tour in London. Other special guests include The Teskey Brothers, Jake Worthington, Ty Myers, Thelma & James, and The Castellows, who will appear on selected dates noted below.

“This year has been awesome,” Combs reflects in a statement. “We’ve gotten to play some of the most iconic festivals in the world and promote country music in ways that it normally isn’t. That said, while the festivals are awesome, there’s nothing like a headline show on a full tour with all of my fans. It’s hard to beat! I can’t wait for March 2026 for the My Kinda Saturday Night Tour. We’re going to 8 different countries, bringing along a ton of great support, and by then will have a lot of new music to play.”

Tickets for all 2026 My Kinda Saturday Night Tour can be purchased early during a limited pre-sale set to begin on Wednesday, Oct. 15, at 10 a.m. local time.

“We just felt like we had to end it all where it all started for me, and that’s in Nashville – Music City – where country music lives,” Jackson shares in a statement.

Fans can register for early access to tickets now through Oct. 13, ahead of a pre-sale set to begin this Wednesday, Oct. 15, at 10 a.m. CT.

During a 2021 interview, Jackson revealed he had been diagnosed with Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease, an inherited neurological disorder that can cause issues with muscle strength and balance. One dollar from each Last Call: One More for the Road – The Finale ticket sold will be donated to the CMT Research Foundation, which helps fund research toward finding a cure for Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease.

Langhorne Slim Confirms Ninth Studio Album ‘The Dreamin’ Kind’

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 08 Oct 2025 21:47:35 +0000

Singer-songwriter Langhorne Slim is gearing up to release a brand new album, produced by Greta Van Fleet bassist and keyboardist Sam F. Kiszka. The Dreamin’ Kind, set for release on Jan. 16 via Dualtone Records, features a soundscape that dives headfirst into the waters of modern rock and roll.

The Americana stalwart says the 12-track project serves as a longtime creative exploration into another beloved genre. Created over the span of a year during sporadic writing sessions at Kiszka’s home in Nashville, Langhorne Slim’s ninth studio album took shape. Thanks to an unrushed creative process and plenty of experimentation, he expanded upon his trademark sound for The Dreamin’ Kind, propelled in part by groovy drum fills provided by fellow Greta Van Fleet member Daniel Wagner.

“It felt like I was blowing some old shit up so I could plant some new flowers,” Slim shares of the creation of The Dreamin’ Kind. “I love acoustic music. I love folk music. But those aren’t my only loves. Rock & roll has always tickled the same place in my soul as great singer-songwriter music, and I wanted to explore those influences. Raw songs that make you feel something: that’s the stuff I’m after.”

The Dreamin’ Kind Album Artwork

Along with today’s (Oct. 8) album announcement, Langhorne Slim has shared two new tracks from The Dreamin’ Kind: “Rock N Roll” and “Haunted Man,” which you can hear below.

You can catch Langhorne Slim out on the road ahead of the record’s release through the end of the year, including a special album preview show at Skinny Dennis in Nashville on Nov. 13. Additional information about upcoming tour stops and ticketing options can be found by visiting Langhorne Slim’s official website.

Blondshell Announces Expanded Edition of ‘If You Asked for a Picture,’ Shares Reimagined ‘Arms’ Featuring Gigi Perez

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 08 Oct 2025 20:26:00 +0000

The latest full-length release from Sabrina Teitelbaum, a.k.a. Blondshell, is getting a sonic overhaul. Revealed today (Oct. 8), Another Picture will serve as the expanded and reimagined version of her captivating 2025 record, If You Asked for a Picture.

Along with the album’s original 13 tracks, Another Picture includes fresh collaborations and covers from some of Teitelbaum’s favorite fellow artists. Conor Oberst, Folk Bitch Trio, and Samia deliver their own takes on select tracks from If You Asked for a Picture, while John Glacier contributes a collaborative version of “T&A” alongside a haunting version of “Arms” featuring Gigi Perez, which serves as the expanded record’s lead single.

“John Glacier had one of my favorite records of the year, same with Folk Bitch Trio, Samia, and Conor’s record last year with Bright Eyes,” Teitelbaum shares in a statement. “I’m blown away by their interpretations of these songs.”

The raw, sharply honest lyrics of “Arms” fall a bit softer, now accompanied by Perez’s heavenly harmonies intertwined with Teitelbaum’s. Still, the track doesn’t lose any of its power or meaning—it instead expands its impact through the pair’s carefully crafted soundscape.

“Every single artist on the project is someone whose music I’m genuinely a massive fan of, so I feel so excited and grateful,” explains Teitelbaum. “I have loved Gigi’s music for years, so it’s so special to get to do ‘Arms’ with her.”

Louis Tomlinson Drops New Single ‘Lemonade,’ Details Upcoming Album ‘How Did I Get Here?’

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 00:39:11 +0000

It’s been nearly three years since Louis Tomlinson shared a new album with fans, but that’s all about to change. The singer-songwriter and former One Direction member is ready to open up more than ever on his upcoming record, How Did I Get Here?

“I sum up it as ‘The record I always deserved to make,” Tomlinson explains of his third full-length project, set for release on Jan. 23. “My bread and butter is my honesty. I genuinely wear my heart on my sleeve, and I hope it comes through in the music. I’m still learning and getting better as a singer and a songwriter. I find it impossible to be complacent; it’s not in my vocabulary. For the first time now, I’m allowing myself to be the artist I’d always hoped to be.”

After gathering his initial ideas for the project while in the English countryside, Tomlinson retreated to the scenic landscapes of Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. For three weeks, he focused strictly on crafting songs that represented him and his experiences, which took full form with the help of co-producer Nico Rebscher.

“Taking all of the steps I did to get here was important,” Tomlinson reflects. “I needed to the confidence to become the artist I wanted to be and make a hopefully big, but personal album. I think I did.”

Album Artwork

His long-awaited confirmation of a new project follows weeks of teasing new music via social media centered around the LP’s lead single, “Lemonade,” which was also released today (Sept. 30). The punchy, playful track finds the 33-year-old comparing the object of his affections to the sweet yet bitter beverage, showcasing a sonic evolution from the soundscapes of his 2022 album, All of Those Voices.

“The most important thing was for the first single to sound ambitious sonically,” explains Tomlinson. “It had to be big and fun. To me, ‘Lemonade’ really has instant and natural personality. It ended up being the perfect way to begin this chapter.”

Melody’s Echo Chamber Details New Album and Tour, Shares ‘In the Stars’

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 30 Sep 2025 23:11:00 +0000

A new era has arrived for Melody’s Echo Chamber, the project of French musician Melody Prochet. Set for release on Dec. 5 via Domino, Unclouded is both a reflection on her own personal and creative evolution and a celebration of embracing the present.

The psych-pop act’s upcoming LP earned its title from a quote by influential Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki, which is as follows: “You must see with eyes unclouded by hate. See the good in that which is evil, and the evil in that which is good. Pledge yourself to neither side.“

Sven Wunder acts as co-producer and co-writer on the project, who is just one of a lengthy list of creative collaborators featured on Unclouded. Among the musicians credited on the record are Josefin Runsteen (strings), Dungen’s Reine Fiske (guitar), Love Orsan (bass), Malcolm Catto (drums), and Leon Michels.

At its core, Unclouded is rooted in optimism, which is echoed in the reflective yet hopeful lead single, “In the Stars,” which also arrived today.

“I used to feel nostalgic growing into adulthood,” explains Melody. “But now that I understand that concept of impermanence, I don’t take it as personally anymore.”

Next year, fans across the U.S. and Europe will be able to experience the sunny warmth of Unclouded live via a lengthy tour that stretches from mid-April to late May. Tickets for all dates listed below are now on sale. You can find more information about the shows by visiting Melody’s Echo Chamber’s official website.

Dolly Parton Postpones 2025 Las Vegas Residency Citing ‘Health Issues’

Lorie Liebig — Mon, 29 Sep 2025 14:04:34 +0000

Three months after the announcement of Dolly Parton‘s long-awaited new Las Vegas residency inside The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, the multi-talented artist, songwriter, actress, and entrepreneur has been forced to press pause on performing due to unspecified health issues.

“I want the fans and public to hear directly from me that, unfortunately, I will need to postpone my upcoming Las Vegas concerts,” Parton shared in a statement posted to her social media accounts on Sunday evening (Sept. 28).

“As many of you know, I have been dealing with some health challenges, and my doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures,” she continues. “As I joked with them, it must be time for my 100,000-mile check-up, although it’s not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon!”

Although the 79-year-old legend kept a sense of humor about the sad news, she also relayed to fans the importance of delivering a live show that meets their expectations.

“In all seriousness, given this, I am not going to be able to rehearse and put together the show that I want you to see, and the show you deserve to see,” she explains. “You pay good money to see me perform, and I want to be at my best for you. While I’ll still be able to work on all of my projects from here in Nashville, I just need a little time to get show-ready, as they say.”

The sold-out six-date stretch of shows was originally scheduled to take place from Dec. 4 through Dec. 13, 2025, during the National Finals Rodeo. All previously announced Las Vegas concerts have now been pushed back almost an entire year to Sept. 17-26, 2026. All previously purchased tickets will be valid for the newly rescheduled dates listed below, and refunds will be available via their original point of purchase.

Although concertgoers will have to wait a little longer for Parton’s first Las Vegas residency in 32 years, she wants fans to know that she has no plans of permanently retiring from the road any time soon.

“Don’t worry about me quittin’ the business because God hasn’t said anything about stopping yet,” she concluded. “But I believe He is telling me to slow down right now so I can be ready for more big adventures with all of you. I love you and thank you for understanding.”

Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country Shares Rollicking Live Video for ‘Sunshine in the Rain’

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 15:46:30 +0000

If you haven’t managed to experience the magic of a live performance from Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country yet, their new music video should convince you to change that immediately. Released today (Sept. 11), the live visual accompaniment to “Sunshine in the Rain” captures the band’s unmistakable blend of musical artistry and unpretentious showmanship.

“Some moments in life, you’re aware enough to see signs that tell you that you’re in the right place at the right time, even when life is applying pressure to you to transform you into a diamond,” Donato shares in a statement. “Destiny is at hand, and there are synchronicities to prove it. ‘Sunshine in the Rain’ is a tune that sheds inspiring light to these subtle moments to reveal the large Cosmic scale they are functioning on.”

The groovy, genre-blending track is a cut from Horizons, the third studio album by Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country, released on Aug. 22 via Retrace Music. Anchored by a fresh mix of classic honky-tonk country music and psychedelic retro rock, the record is an intriguing, unpredictable, and sonically layered listen.

Donato and his bandmates, Nathan “Sugar Legg” Aronowitz (keyboards/vocals), Will “Mustang” McGee (bass/vocals), and William “Bronco” Clark (drums/percussion), will spend the rest of this year out on the road in support of their latest LP. A full list of upcoming tour dates, including their two-night Cosmic Christmas Jam event in Nashville, is below.

Chet Faker Longs for Something More in New Single ‘Inefficient Love’

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 15:02:07 +0000

Chet Faker, the acclaimed musical project of Australian singer-songwriter Nick Murphy, has returned with a beautifully melancholic new track. Released today (Sept. 11), “Inefficient Love” offers a sparse and hypnotic soundscape that serves as the backdrop to Murphy’s cuttingly honest lyrics.

“‘Inefficient Love’ was one of those songs that beamed in from somewhere,” Murphy shares. “I was sitting on my couch at home watching a show and start playing the guitar and just played the whole song in about 5 minutes. It feels old and I love it.”

“My inefficient love / Again breaks my heart in two pieces,” Murphy sings mournfully in the track’s chorus. “My inefficient love / Some friend calls my name and then leaves in the end / My inefficient love.”

The painfully beautiful “Inefficient Love” arrives just a few weeks after the surprise drop of “Far Side of the Moon,” the first new Chet Faker single since the release of his 2021 album, Hotel Surrender. The two tracks seem to indicate that a possible full-length project might be coming in the months ahead, but we’ll just have to wait and see what’s next for the ARIA Award-winning act.

Watch the official music video for “Inefficient Love” below:

Big Thief Journeys Between the Lines in ‘Words’ Music Video

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 02:12:43 +0000

Fresh off the release of their sixth record, Double Infinity, Big Thief has shared a music video for their album track “Words.” In the short film, bandmates Adrianne Lenker, Buck Meek, and James Krivchenia are shown traveling through a range of settings, with a giant pencil held firmly in their grips.

“The finite meanings of our words encompass the boundaries of how we perceive reality. Yet… there are times when cosmic bubbles breach through our spirit’s wellspring and issue forth other sensations—glimmers of possibilities, ineffable vastness, and mystagogic connectedness beyond the horizon where language dissolves,” shares Noah Lenker, Adrianne’s brother and director of the psychedelic-tinged music video. “Do we wield words, or do our words wield us? And how may we reshape and shape anew words that will better aid us? Sometimes we must play with the letters of our alphabet soup, sometimes we must combust our pencils to then scribe novel glyphs of empowerment into the sands of time.”

Double Infinity dropped last Friday, September 5, via 4AD. Next week, Big Thief will kick off the U.S. leg of their Somersault Slide 360 Tour ahead of a newly confirmed slate of U.K. and European dates set for next Spring. You can find out more about the tour and explore ticketing options by visiting Big Thief’s official website.

Willie Nelson Preps New Studio Album ‘Workin’ Man: Willie Sings Merle’

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 04 Sep 2025 19:03:52 +0000

Once again, Willie Nelson is reminding us why he’s known as one of the most prolific songwriters and artists in history. Today (September 4), he announced the details of his upcoming 155th (yes, you read that right) studio album, which pays tribute to one of his closest friends and creative collaborators.

Workin’ Man: Willie Sings Merle, set for release on November 7 via Legacy Recordings, features 11 new renditions of classic tracks penned by the late Merle Haggard. The collection of covers spans across the decades of Haggard’s extensive career and includes the No. 1 hits “Mama Tried,” “If We Make It Through December,” and “Okie from Muskogee.”

Legacy Recordings

Nelson has also delivered fans a teaser of what’s to come via the record’s title track and lead single. First released in 1969 as a single off his 10th studio album, A Portrait of Merle Haggard, “Workin’ Man Blues” quickly shot to No. 1 in both the U.S. and Canada. The song is still an unmistakable representation of the early rock and country blend known as the “Bakersfield Sound” and of Haggard’s brilliant and relatable lyricism.

This announcement comes just a day before Nelson’s Outlaw Music Festival 10th Anniversary Tour is set to kick off its final leg in Bangor, Maine, where he’ll be joined by Bob Dylan, Sheryl Crow, Waxahatchee, and Madeline Edwards. On September 20, Nelson will also helm an all-star lineup at Farm Aid 40, held at Huntington Bank Stadium in Minnesota. You can find more information about all upcoming live events and pre-order your CD or vinyl pressing of Workin’ Man by visiting Willie Nelson’s official website.

Brandi Carlile Confirms New Solo Album, Shares Title Track ‘Returning to Myself’

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 03 Sep 2025 19:56:41 +0000

Accomplished singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile is ready to share her eighth studio album, Returning to Myself. Announced today (September 3), the project is set for release on October 24 via Interscope Records/Lost Highway, and serves as her first solo record in four years.

The 10-track LP was co-produced by Carlile, Aaron Dessner, Justin Vernon, and Andrew Watt and features musical contributions from longtime bandmates, Phil and Tim Hanseroth, SistaStrings’ Monique and Chauntee Ross, Blake Mills, Josh Klinghoffer, Chad Smith, Matt Chamberlain, Dave Mackay, Stewart Cole, Rob Moose, and Mark Isham.

To coincide with the album announcement, Carlile has also shared the album’s title track, which echoes the project’s core theming of personal reflection and introspection. In the statement below, the 11-time Grammy Award winner opens up about what inspired the creation of “Returning to Myself” and how it represents her current chapter in life:

“I’m not my favorite person to spend my time with. Returning to myself is not just a lonely, but a painfully boring thing to do. So much so that I’m actually not at all interested in doing it.

I prefer to double, triple, and quadruple down on co-dependency, which I’ve come to learn that outside of 12-Step programs and junior high school relationships, isn’t really that unhealthy at all…

For me, the key to learning to ‘be alone’ is not being alone at all. It’s being alone in a crowded room. It’s hearing an unexpected doorbell ring and wondering who has shown up to watch me read my book and bite my nails all day. That a guest can be a deep lean-in over a cheap bottle of wine or simply an eyebrow raise and a gesture toward the refrigerator while I play Zelda…where I totally choose myself with someone so close to me I can hear them relax.

People want to be together in silence more than we allow in our time. It’s falling deeply in love with the car wheels on a gravel road. The possibility of the visitor. The “not being alone-ness” of it all…

Togetherness has given me everything I love about being alive. Starting with my original family in a single wide mobile home, gathered around a wood stove, all the way to living with my band, haunting my wife everywhere she goes, raising my children on a tour bus, learning at the feet of Joni Mitchell, to making music with my greatest hero of all time, Elton John.

Why is it heroic to untether, when the tense work of togetherness is so much more interesting?

…because I don’t want to do it. Because I don’t want to return to myself.

And that’s why I will.“

Fans can expect more details about Carlile’s upcoming record, along with tour dates in support of her new music, to be shared in the weeks to come. This weekend, she’ll take the stage with her bandmates at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in scenic Morrison, Colorado, for three sold-out shows, helping to mark the kickoff of a new creative era for Carlile.

Watch the official music video for “Returning to Myself,” directed by Floria Sigismondi, below:

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 19 Aug 2025 21:34:00 +0000

Indie music history was made in 1996, the year that Belle and Sebastian released two iconic albums: Tigermilk and If You’re Feeling Sinister.

Cale Tyson Faces His Past and Uncertain Future In New Single ‘Bad Dog’

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 12 Aug 2025 21:50:02 +0000

Singer-songwriter Cale Tyson tries to untie the weight of his past from fears of the future with his latest single, “Bad Dog.” The track marks his first new music since being diagnosed with Menière’s Disease, an intensive inner-ear disorder that can cause hearing loss, vertigo, and other difficult health issues.

Following his diagnosis in January 2025, Tyson spent two months channeling the complicated mixture of emotions and physical stressors into his art. “Bad Dog” serves as the first completed piece of that important chapter of creative catharsis.

“It came from this place of feeling like I deserved every bad thing that was happening to me,” says Tyson. “But writing it helped me arrive at a kind of acceptance—not of the condition itself, but of not knowing what comes next.”

Sonically, the Texas native’s newest song also marks a shift from the more mainstream country vibe at the core of his most recent releases over the past two years. In contrast, “Bad Dog” allows the track’s raw lyrics to take center stage against a sparse, intimate soundscape similar to that of his 2019 EP, Narcissist.

Although the track as a whole sounds light and airy on the surface, “Bad Dog” is an exploration of self-worth, the concept of karma, and the challenge of not letting your past define you and the future that lies ahead.

“Bad Dog” is just the first piece from an album’s worth of new music, penned and self-produced by Tyson. The painful effects of Menière’s Disease, which include periods of complete hearing loss, paralyzing bouts of tinnitus, and disorienting vertigo, initially caused self-doubt about his ability to create another full-length project.

“I wasn’t sure I’d ever be able to make another record,” Tyson says. “But I knew I had to try—at least one more time. This song is part of that process. It’s me trying to hold on.”

We’ll be patiently waiting for more details about a new record to come, which would be his first since his impressive 2017 record, Careless Soul. In the meantime, you can catch Tyson at two major music festivals this summer: Bourbon & Beyond 2025 in Louisville, Kentucky, on September 12, and Country Calling 2025 in Ocean City, Maryland, on October 3. You can find more information on these upcoming live sets by visiting Cale Tyson’s official website.

Ashley Monroe Recruits Lukas Nelson and Angaleena Presley for ‘Moth’ Music Video

Lorie Liebig — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 18:19:00 +0000

Ashley Monroe, fresh off the release of her sixth studio album, Tennessee Lightning, has shared a new music video featuring some very familiar faces. Shared today (August 11), the visual accompaniment to her fresh track “Moth” includes special appearances from her Pistol Annies bandmate Angaleena Presley, along with friend and creative collaborator Lukas Nelson.

“Moth” is one of 17 tracks on Tennessee Lightning, which includes guest appearances from Marty Stuart, Brittney Spencer, Karen Fairchild of Little Big Town, T. Bone Burnett, Brendan Benson, and Armand Hutton. The record finds Monroe reflecting on her journey through life and how her perspective shifted after being faced with an unexpected health battle.

“When I got diagnosed with lymphoma and started my treatment, I stopped writing, I stopped hearing melodies, I stopped thinking about songs at all,” Monroe reflects in a statement. “When I finally went into remission, I could feel the life and the music start flowing in my veins again,” she says. “It was like a flood, just this rush of inspiration.”

Later this month, Monroe will head overseas for a slate of European headlining shows featuring support from Fancy Hagood. You can find more information on ticketing options for those tour dates, which are listed below, by visiting Ashley Monroe’s official website.

Rhett Miller Confirms New Solo Album, Shares Collaboration With Turnpike Troubadours’ Evan Felker

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 05 Aug 2025 18:33:05 +0000

Seasoned singer-songwriter Rhett Miller has a brand new record ready to share later this year. Announced today (August 5), his 10th solo album, A lifetime of riding by night, is set for release on October 10 via ATO Records. Miller has also given fans a teaser of what’s on the way with “Come As You Are,” the LP’s lead single featuring backing vocals from Turnpike Troubadours‘ Evan Felker.

“Well, you come as you are and you leave with a smile / You got a way, honey, you got a style / That you play,” Miller and Felker gently croon in the track’s entrancing chorus. “So I wake in the mornin’ and start out my day / To the sound of you walkin’ away / To the sound of you walkin’ away.”

“That song came together at a time when Evan and I were both wrestling with the difficulty of leaving our loved ones behind to go on tour,” Miller shares in a statement, describing the inspiration behind his lead single. “It’s a sweet song, but there’s a sadness to it, which feels reflective of the true human condition. Evan’s band, Turnpike Troubadours, recorded a version of the song a few years back as a single, but it’s always been in my mind that I wanted to record my own version of the song. Despite it being a co-write, ‘Come As You Are’ feels like a really personal moment. That said, I get a tickle out of hearing Evan’s harmony on there – he’s such a talented guy and a great friend.”

“Rhett has been a never-ending source of inspiration and wit and humility for my career and for the times when I didn’t have one,” adds Felker. “He writes with a passion for the world that is as reckless as it is correct and smart. Whatever deal he made with the devil, I want that one too. He’s the prime example of why you should meet your heroes.”

ATO Records

Felker is just one of the talented co-writers featured on the 13 tracks that make up A lifetime of riding by night, including Caitlin Rose, Nicole Atkins, and Gin Blossoms’ Jesse Valenzuela. The project was produced by Miller’s former Old 97’s bandmate Murry Hammond, and recorded inside Dave’s Room in Los Angeles just a few days before Miller underwent surgery on his vocal chords. That major life event understandably led the multi-talented Texas native to reflect on the fragility of life, the importance of love, and the delicate ties that bind us all together, which became prominent themes within the songs on A lifetime of riding by night.

In support of his upcoming album, Miller will hit the road for a lengthy solo tour later this year. The stretch of dates begins with a performance in Amagansett, New York, before continuing to San Francisco, Portland, Dallas, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and more.

Parcels Feel the Pull of a Past Romance in ‘Summerinlove’

Lorie Liebig — Fri, 01 Aug 2025 19:50:00 +0000

Australia’s own Parcels have shared the latest indie-pop gem off their upcoming third studio album, LOVED. Released today (August 1), “Summerinlove” is a laid-back, bittersweet ode to a past relationship that you aren’t quite ready to let go of.

“‘Summerinlove’ is a nostalgic memory and a yearning for a past love that hopefully will return,” the band shares of the track in a statement. “It was written from the post-break-up period where you’re in denial, hoping for the relationship to continue in the future when really it’s over. The track was recorded live in Golden Retriever studios in Sydney, Australia.”

“I better ask you / Is this enough? / Am I in love? / If this is enough for you too / We might not be through,” they ask in the song’s groovy, reflective chorus.

“Summerinlove” is the latest pre-release cut shared from LOVED, an LP made in collaboration with Bose and NME C25, which is due out on September 12.

Following a buzzworthy set at Glastonbury Festival 2025 in June, Parcels will embark on their first-ever arena tour, which kicks off on October 14 in Los Angeles. Tickets for all upcoming headline dates, which are listed below, are on sale now. You can find more information about the shows and explore ticketing options at Parcels’ official website.

Ramona and the Holy Smokes Stand Their Ground With New Single ‘Gonna Be Mine’

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 31 Jul 2025 07:09:15 +0000

It’s not easy to craft songs that tap into the magic of classic country without sounding like a cookie-cutter cosplay of eras gone by. With their irresistible new single “Gonna Be Mine,” Ramona and the Holy Smokes successfully deliver a modern honky-tonk banger with substance.

Comprised of frontwoman Ramona Martinez, guitarist Kyle Kilduff, bassist Jay Ouypron, pedal steel guitarist Brooks Hefner, and drummer Porter Bralley, the Charlottesville, Virginia-based band has crafted a soundscape rooted in old school country and western, but unmistakably evolved. Anchored by Martinez’s charismatic, crystal-clear vocals, “Gonna Be Mine” is a foot-stomping, tongue-in-cheek tune rooted in smart lyrical storytelling.

“One day [while] driving through a wealthy area of Central Virginia, I spotted a big white house on a hill and started to sing, ‘That’s gonna be my house someday, that’s gonna be my house someday. I’m gonna find a way to make it mine,'”Martinez shares in a statement. Soon after, that moment of impromptu inspiration led to magic during a songwriting session with Maddi Mae Martin, where those three lines evolved into the infectious and playful track “Gonna Be Mine.”

“While the song was written as satire, I’ve found that I connect more to the lyrics than I initially realized,” explains Martinez.

“Gonna Be Mine” serves as the lead single and opening track off Ramona and the Holy Smokes, which is set for release on September 26. Co-produced by Kilduff and Kai Crowe-Getty, the record explores a myriad of complex human experiences, including the challenge of protecting your independence while learning to build new relationships, and the pains of breaking free from toxic cycles.

If you’re itching to hear “Gonna Be Mine” live in person, you might want to plan a quick trip to the East Coast. The band will make their way to multiple venues in Virginia and North Carolina through the end of August. Fans can find out more about the tour dates listed below by visiting Ramona and the Holy Smokes’ official website, where you can also pre-order physical and digital copies of the band’s upcoming LP while supplies last.

Watch the official music video for “Gonna Be Mine” below:

Ramona and the Holy Smokes 2025 Tour Dates:

Joyer Preview New Album With Lonesome Lead Single ‘Cure’

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 31 Jul 2025 06:14:59 +0000

Nick and Shane Sullivan, better known as the sibling duo at the helm of the indie rock project Joyer, are ready to open the emotional floodgates with their upcoming album. Set for release on October 24 via Julia’s War Recordings, On the Other End of the Line… leans into the bittersweet uncertainty that accompanies our journeys through life.

With their lead single, “Cure,” Joyer focuses on the moments that may seem like minutiae, but help weave the strings that tie us all together. Propelled by a textured, slow-rolling guitar groove, the track serves as a comforting soundtrack for anyone navigating life under the weight of isolation.

“This song is about loneliness and searching for connection in any and every place,” Shane Sullivan shares in a statement. “I wrote this one from the perspective of a made-up character, but it definitely has some personal feelings mixed in. I was thinking a lot about how a small or seemingly inconsequential interaction with a stranger at a bar or a customer service worker over the phone can be meaningful or fulfilling.”

“Cure” is the first cut shared from The Other End of the Line…, which the brothers recorded at Palisade Studios in Chicago and serves as the follow-up to their 2024 LP, Night Songs. Joyer recruited Slow Pulp’s Henry Stoehr to produce their upcoming 10-track album, collaborating to craft a rich and intricately arranged soundscape that challenged them more creatively than ever before. In contrast, they opted to strip back the layers lyrically, leaning into a more raw and personal approach to songwriting that explores a wide spectrum of human emotions.

You can catch Joyer out on the road this December as they join villagerrr as support for Teethe’s stretch of U.S. headlining dates. Fans can find more information about the live shows, which are listed below, by visiting Joyer’s official website.

Foot Ox Soaks Up the Heat of Uncertainty in ‘Bleached Yellow’

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 31 Jul 2025 05:13:52 +0000

With their new single “Bleached Yellow,” Foot Ox paints a sonic portrait of painful uncertainty, visualized through the eerie haze of a Southwestern landscape. It’s a captivating preview of the Portland-based psych-folk project’s upcoming studio album, A Lighthouse with Silver Dog Eyes, due out on August 11 via Ernest Jenning Record Co.

Teague Cullen, the DIY-scene stalwart at the helm of Foot Ox, says he crafted the song to echo “that feeling of Arizona, where everything’s sun-bleached and washed out. It reflects that emotional burnout you feel sometimes, but there’s also that part where, even when you’re trying to pull away from someone or keep your distance, they just kind of draw you back in, and you end up caring about them anyway, trying these different configurations—so I guess it’s kind of about my own chaos.”

“Bleached Yellow” is the second pre-release cut shared from A Lighthouse with Silver Dog Eyes, following the lead single, “Horseshoe,” which dropped earlier this month. The record, produced and mixed by David J at Balboa Recording Studio in Los Angeles, promises listeners a layered, expansive soundscape shaped by creative contributions from musicians Sean Bonnette, Preston Bryant, Grant Berber, Andrew Dorsett, Lee Johnson, Miriam Hacksaw, and Jim Rhian.

You can pre-order a limited-edition Coke bottle clear vinyl pressing of A Lighthouse with Silver Dog Eyes, which includes a digital download of the album available on release day, now while supplies last, via Bandcamp.

Listen to “Bleached Yellow” below:

Foot Ox, A Lighthouse with Silver Dog Eyes Track List:

Laufey Journeys Across Japan in New ‘Lover Girl’ Music Video

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 31 Jul 2025 04:23:55 +0000

Multi-talented jazz-pop phenom Laufey takes viewers along for a joyful, cinematic trek through Tokyo and beyond in her new music video for “Lover Girl.” The charming film accompaniment to the latest single off A Matter of Time, Laufey’s upcoming studio album, was directed by her identical twin, Junia Lin.

The video serves as a scenic backdrop to “Lover Girl,” which finds the genre-blending talent battling with her yearning desires for an object of affection who’s painfully out of reach.

“The hardest part of loving someone is being away from them,” she says of the track in a statement. “This is that story.”

“You’ve been hosting parties in my mind / I’m working overtime to have you in my world,” Laufey croons longingly in the track’s chorus. “Oh, what a curse it is to be a lover girl.”

Spencer Stewart, who worked on Laufey’s first two records, joined forces with Aaron Dessner to co-produce A Matter of Time, helping to shape an encouraging space for creative expansion in the studio.

“People expect a pretty façade of girly clothes, fantastical stories, and romantic music,” Laufey explains. “This time, I was interested in seeing how I could draw out the most flawed parts of myself and look at them directly in the mirror.”

A Matter of Time is set for release on August 22 via Vingolf Recordings/AWAL. Fans can hear cuts from the project live this fall by attending Laufey’s A Matter of Time Tour, which will make its way to venues across the U.S. and Canada through the end of October. You can find more information about the shows listed below by visiting Laufey’s official website.

John Michael Montgomery Announces Farewell Concert

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 20:46:39 +0000

It’s official: John Michael Montgomery will bring his touring career to a close with one final show later this year.

The Road Home: The Final Concert, produced by Outback Presents, is set for December 12 at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky. Concertgoers can expect to hear many cuts from Montgomery’s extensive songbook, comprised of 11 studio albums and 7 No. 1 hits, including “Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident),” “I Love the Way You Love Me,” “The Little Girl,” “I Love the Way You Love Me,” and “Be My Baby Tonight.”

To help mark this milestone moment in his extensive career, Montgomery will be joined by three family members and fellow musical talents: his brother Eddie Montgomery (of Montgomery Gentry), son Walker Montgomery, and son-in-law Travis Denning.

“I stepped on a tour bus for the first time in 1992 and haven’t looked back since, but now it’s time to bring it all back home for my last concert, and I can’t think of a better place than Rupp Arena,” Montgomery shares in a statement. “I wanted to celebrate this occasion with my family, so I invited some of them to perform with me. We are going to have a lot of fun and end this ride in a big way.”

Fans can get an early chance to snag tickets for The Road Home: The Final Concert via a limited artist pre-sale that begins tomorrow, July 30, at 10 a.m. EDT.

Del Water Gap Searches for Answers in ‘How to Live’

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 19:20:00 +0000

Del Water Gap, the eclectic indie-pop project helmed by S. Holden Jaffe, has returned with a sweeping and introspective new single. Released today (July 29) via Mom + Pop, “How to Live” poetically echoes the internal confusion and emotional chaos that we often face during our unpredictable journeys through daily life.

“I know too much it’s freaking me out / But there’s gold under the rust / Figuring out just how to live,” Jaffe admits in the song’s entrancing chorus. “I’m so afraid you’re finding me out / But there’s something in the rough / Figuring out just how to live.”

In a statement, Del Water Gap shares, “this song is about regret and spiritual confusion and the quiet work of survival —— longing to find a version of adulthood that doesn’t feel like surrender ——- how to be vulnerable without being self-pitying ? I want to be better and I don’t always know how—— we live in such an anxious time and I feel anxious a lot of the time too but I also feel hopeful and I hope you do too, at least some of the time.”

With the release of “How to Live,” Del Water Gap seems to be hinting at the beginning of a new creative chapter, marking his first new music since I Miss You Already + I Haven’t Left Yet dropped in 2023. Although no future full-length project has been confirmed so far, Del Water Gap will be keeping busy in the coming months with tour dates across the U.K. and Australia through early October. In the meantime, we’ll be keeping this track in rotation while we patiently await more news about any future releases.

Kashena Sampson Confirms New Album, Shares Lead Single ‘Rearview Mirror’

Lorie Liebig — Mon, 28 Jul 2025 21:34:04 +0000

Genre-melding singer-songwriter Kashena Sampson has announced her third studio album, Ghost of Me, is set for release on October 3. Along with the confirmation of a captivating new creative era, Sampson has shared her record’s mystical and stirring lead single, “Rearview Mirror.”

Co-written with fellow Nashville-based expert songsmith Caroline Spence, the track explores the complicated process of looking backwards, and how distance can provide an unexpected sense of clarity.

“Shadow work has become one of the most sacred parts of my spiritual path, sitting with the parts of myself I once tried to bury, and learning to listen when my intuition whispers…or screams,” Sampson shares in a statement. “‘Rearview Mirror’ was born out of one of those shadowy moments.

“I was in a co-writing session that left me feeling small and scattered, but I couldn’t fully understand why until later that night,” she continues. “That’s often how my intuition speaks, subtle in the moment, clear only in hindsight. As I sat with the discomfort, the first line came through: ‘I only see it in the rearview mirror.’

“The whole experience reminded me of the Death card in Tarot,” explains Sampson. “Not an ending, but a transformation. A spiritual shake-up designed to clear the path for truth. The next day, I brought that line to Caroline [Spence]. We wrote the song in about an hour. It just flowed.”

“Rearview Mirror” serves as the first single from Ghost of Me and was produced by Grammy Award-winning musician Jon Estes. The 9-track LP features tracks that explore the gamut of human experience, including the freedom that comes with embracing your own sense of self more than ever.

“This is an album about ignoring the bullshit and doing what’s authentic to me,” Sampson says. “Forget the rat race. Forget the bad relationships. Forget trying to please everybody. I’m tired of doing that. I wanted to do something for myself, and that’s what Ghost of Me became. It’s an album for me.”

Watch the official music video for “Rearview Mirror,” filmed and directed by Josh Shoemaker, below:

Ozzy Osbourne Dies at 76

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 19:02:42 +0000

Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath frontman and two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, has died at the age of 76. The news of his passing was confirmed on Tuesday afternoon (July 22) via a statement given to The Guardian by Osbourne’s family.

“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,” the statement reads. “He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family’s privacy at this time.”

On July 5, Osbourne took the stage for Back to the Beginning, a charity concert promoted as Black Sabbath’s final concert. Held at Villa Park in Birmingham, England, Osborne performed alongside the band’s original lineup of guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler, and drummer Bill Ward. Osbourne sang through the group’s extensive songbook of hits while seated on a throne, unable to walk due to advanced-stage Parkinson’s disease. According to NBC News, an estimated 45,000 were in attendance while 5.8 million fans watched the historic show via livestream.

Known as the “Prince of Darkness,” Osbourne led Black Sabbath into rock and roll history until his issues with substance abuse forced his bandmates to kick him out of the band in 1979. He quickly launched a successful solo career, releasing 13 studio albums, including his final full-length project, Patient Number 9, in 2022.

He became a new type of pop culture figure in the early 2000s, thanks to the success of MTV’s reality series The Osbournes. Fans both new and old got a look into the heavy metal legend’s personal life alongside his wife, Sharon, and his two children, Kelly and Jack.

Editor’s Note: This is a developing story. Additional information will be added.

A New Jeff Buckley Documentary Is Coming to Theaters and HBO

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 15:50:00 +0000

Following its recent debut at the Sundance Film Festival, a new documentary centered on the life and music of Jeff Buckley will be available to watch in multiple ways later this year. Magnolia Pictures has acquired the U.S. distribution rights of It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley, and will broadcast the film on HBO and HBO Max later this year.

The film, which will be screened in theaters across the country beginning August 8, offers an intimate look into the late singer-songwriter’s creative mind and personal life. A longtime passion project of director Amy Berg, the documentary features previously unseen video footage, audio recordings, and new interviews with loved ones, including his mother, Mary Guibert, as well as fellow artists of the era like Aimee Mann and Ben Harper.

“I’ve spent practically my entire career trying to make this film, which takes a very intimate look at one of the greatest singers and songwriters of all time,” says Berg. “I’m so excited Magnolia and HBO have come on board to share this film with the world and give old fans and new audiences a chance to experience Jeff from this unique vantage point. I couldn’t imagine a better team to roll this into the world!”

Although Buckley only released one album before his death at age 30, his distinctive vocals and keen sense of artistry have cemented him as one of the most influential artists of the 1990s. His cover of “Hallelujah,” one of 10 stirring tracks on his 1994 record Grace, has been repeatedly cited as one of the best songs ever recorded. In 2013, it was selected by the Library of Congress for inclusion in its National Recording Registry, which houses music and media that has been deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant, and inform or reflect life in the United States.”

It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley was produced by Berg, Jennie Bedusa, Mandy Chang, Christine Connor, Ryan Heller, and Matthew Roozen.

Ducks Ltd. Put a Fresh Spin on ‘Lloyd, I’m Ready to Be Heartbroken’ With Lunar Vacation

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 15 Jul 2025 15:15:00 +0000

Indie-pop powerhouse Ducks Ltd. have put their own groovy take on one of the genre’s most recognizable gems from the early 2000s. Today (July 15), the Toronto-based duo shared a cover of Camera Obscura’s “Lloyd, I’m Ready to Be Heartbroken,” featuring Gep Repasky of Lunar Vacation.

Bandmates Tom McGreevy and Evan Lewis bring modern ease to the sweeping twee-pop track, leaning into a more DIY, unpolished soundscape than the beloved original. The irresistible synth lines and airy vocals provided by Grace Repasky help round out the gritty yet instantly charming cover.

“I first heard the Lloyd Cole song ‘Are You Ready to Be Heartbroken?’ when a friend played me Rattlesnakes, which became a favorite. Later I realized the Camera Obscura track was a nod to it, and I was instantly hooked—it’s an indie pop classic that channels ’80s UK influences into something fresh,” McGreevy shares. “We originally covered it during a radio session around Harm’s Way, and after playing it on tour, we decided to record it properly. Gep from Lunar Vacation did a killer vocal arrangement that elevated it.”

Later this week, Ducks Ltd. will hit the road for a stretch of U.S. dates, which includes stops in Chicago, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Washington D.C., and Nashville. You can find a full list of upcoming tour dates below. Fans can find more information about the shows and ticketing options by visiting Ducks Ltd.’s official website.

Marcus King Band Confirm New 2025 ‘Darling Blue’ Tour Dates

Lorie Liebig — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 18:38:50 +0000

Marcus King Band have revealed their first set of headlining dates in support of their upcoming studio album, Darling Blue. The newly confirmed shows extend the alt-country act’s already busy 2025 touring schedule, which includes multiple festivals and support slots for Chris Stapleton and Dwight Yoakam.

Unveiled today (July 14), Marcus King Band’s The Darling Blue Tour (Pt. 1) includes stops in Memphis, Albuquerque, Little Rock, Davenport, Iowa, and more. Burgeoning singer-songwriters Angel White, Carter Faith, and Laci Kaye Booth will appear as the opening act on select dates.

On Friday (July 11), the band surprised fans by confirming their fourth album, Darling Blue, is set to arrive on September 26 via American Records/Republic Records. The 14-track project is their first LP since 2018 and features an impressive list of collaborators, including Jamey Johnson, Billy Strings, Kaitlin Butts, Noah Cyrus, and Jesse Welles.

“It truly felt like home,” King shares of the recording process. “Like my band and I were just working out songs to perform live but ended up creating a piece of recorded music for our fans to hear. Our goal is always to be a vessel and allow the music to flow through us and tap into something that’s already there in the room. But more than anything I’ve done before, this album felt like a real concerted effort to make music for myself, and for ourselves as a band—creating for the love of creating and being as honest as we possibly can. We put everything we had into making something that we love, and we have faith that the audience will feel that and love it too.”

An artist presale for all Darling Blue Tour (Pt. 1) dates listed below will begin this Wednesday, July 16, at 10 a.m. local time.

Real Estate Plot ‘Atlas’ Anniversary Tour

Lorie Liebig — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 18:06:35 +0000

This year has been jam-packed with tours marking the anniversaries of bands’ most acclaimed and beloved albums, and now we have one more to add to the 2025 roster. Real Estate will hit the road later this year to revisit their celebrated 2014 studio album, Atlas.

Revealed today (July 14), the indie rock act’s upcoming A Celebration of Atlas – The Eleven Year and 7 Month Anniversary Tour will begin on September 12 in Los Angeles. The long-running act helmed by Martin Courtney will make its way to 11 additional cities across the U.S. and Canada through mid-October.

Along with a nostalgic setlist filled with cuts from a pivotal chapter in Real Estate’s career, concertgoers will be treated to some deep cuts and rarely-heard tracks during these special shows.

“Atlas was a pretty big record for us, and chances are if you’re reading this, it’s a pretty big record for you too,” the band shares in a statement. “Nobody ever said, ‘I love Real Estate, but I hate their third LP, Atlas.’ And if they did say that, they never said it anywhere around us – and we read everything you guys write on the internet; some of it can get pretty weird. And so, on this momentous occasion, we will be bringing A CELEBRATION OF ATLAS to a city near you, to honor its 11-year and 7-month anniversary. We’ll be playing almost the entire album in its entirety (basically) and other lesser-known tunes from the Atlas era. We’ll also be playing a selection of our greatest hits, because we know you love those too. Please come and celebrate with us – we can’t wait to see you.”

Rising indie rockers Jawdropped, Subtle Orange, and Trace Mountains will serve as support on select dates of the tour, which are noted below.

The Band Loula Details Debut EP, Share Title Track ‘Sweet Southern Summer’

Lorie Liebig — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 15:30:00 +0000

Burgeoning duo The Band Loula has already had a landmark year, earning industry buzz and a standing ovation during their recent Grand Ole Opry debut. Now, the North Georgia natives are ready to begin a new career chapter with the upcoming release of their debut EP.

Set to arrive on August 22 via Warner Music Nashville, their Sweet Southern Summer EP features six tracks, including the previously released “Running Off the Angels” and “Can’t Please ‘Em All.” John Osborne, one half of the award-winning duo Brothers Osborne, served as producer on the project, along with additional contributions from Greg Bieck.

Warner Music Nashville

Comprised of longtime friends and creative collaborators Logan Simmons and Malachi Mills, The Band Loula is set to deliver one of the most intriguing alt-country EPs of the year. To coincide with their debut announcement, the talented pair also shared the nostalgic title track from The Band Loula’s upcoming project.

“Our new song ‘Sweet Southern Summer’ is a postcard from the things that raised us in North Georgia…dirt roads, rocking chairs, honeysuckle off the vine, and growing up on Lula Road,” they shared in a statement. “It bottles up the kind of front porch summer that never really leaves you, no matter how much time passes. This track sets the tone for our upcoming EP, which is a patchwork of stories that encompass who we are.”

You can catch The Band Loula out on the road performing alongside Zach Top on Dierks Bentley’s 2025 headlining tour through the end of August. A full list of the duo’s upcoming tour dates can be found below. Additional information on the shows and ticketing options can be found by visiting The Band Loula’s official website.

The Rapture Confirm 2025 Headlining Tour

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 09 Jul 2025 20:35:00 +0000

It’s official: The Rapture has returned. The edgy electro-pop outfit led by Luke Jenner is hitting the road for their first headlining tour in 15 years.

After announcing their reunion in 2019, a run of celebratory tour dates set for 2020 was canceled due to the emerging COVID-19 pandemic. Earlier this year, the group surprised fans by confirming a seemingly one-off set at Portola Festival 2025 this September. Today’s announcement appears to confirm a new chapter ahead for the band that helped usher in a new wave of dance-punk acts in the early 2000s.

“This has been a long time coming,” Jenner shares in a statement. “Years ago when I stepped away from the band I was needing time and space to piece together my life. I needed to fix my marriage, be there for my son, and ultimately work on myself. This tour marks a new chapter for me, one shaped by everything I’ve lived through and learned along the way. I’ve achieved everything I hoped to achieve through music, and now I get to use it to help anyone else who maybe needs it like I did back then.”

The Rapture’s roster of long-awaited live dates begins with a stop in Minneapolis on September 16 ahead of shows in San Francisco, Austin, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Denver, and more. Their North American leg wraps up with a performance at 9:30 Club in Washington D.C. on October 10, which is followed by a slate of overseas dates set for mid-to-late November.

Tickets for all newly announced shows listed below will go on sale this Friday, July 11, at 10 a.m. local time. You can findmore information on the tour and ticketing options by visiting The Rapture’s official website.

Kathleen Edwards Dissects the Pain of Unrequited Love in ‘Pine’

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 02 Jul 2025 22:06:07 +0000

Expert songsmith Kathleen Edwards has shared a captivating new single from her upcoming sixth studio album, Billionaire. Released today (July 2), “Pine” is a slow-rolling and raw track that captures the pain of trying to push down feelings for someone you can never call your own.

“I know you know we just can’t say it / You know I know we’d live to regret it,” Edwards sings, succinctly describing the bittersweet reality of a love meant to stay unrequited. “I know that you know when we go our separate ways / The thought of you stays.”

“On the 2-day drive from Ottawa to Nashville, a line popped in my head, ‘when we go our separate ways, the thought of you stays,'” Edwards shares of the song’s inspiration in a statement. “By the time I arrived in Nashville, I had written ‘Pine’ and it was the first track we put down for this album. Friends who can’t be lovers. A classic country song. At first, the arrangement made me feel incredibly bare and exposed, but I now love the spare production, Jason’s super dry electric solo makes me feel like Dusty.”

“Pine” is the latest early cut from Billionaire, due out August 22 via Dualtone Records. The 10-track LP, produced by Jason Isbell and Gena Johnson, features previously released singles “Save Your Soul” and “Say Goodbye, Tell No One.” Along with their production work, Isbell and Johnson provided musical accompaniment on the record, which also features contributions from Anna Butterss and Annie Clements on bass, Jen Gunderman on keys, Chad Gamble on drums and percussion, and backing vocals by Shelby Lynne and Allison Moorer.

“I decided to call the record Billionaire because the word is used in such a caustic way these days,” she explains. “But we should all want to be billionaires in life, to be rich in experience, friendship, purpose, and the pursuit of the things that bring us joy.”

Listen to “Pine” below:

Billionaire Track List:

“Save Your Soul”
“Say Goodbye, Tell No One”
“Little Red Ranger”
“When the Truth Comes Out”
“Billionaire”
“Need a Ride”
“Little Pink Door”
“FLA”
“Other People’s Bands”
“Pine”

Nicki Bluhm Announces New Album ‘Rancho Deluxe,’ Shares Lead Single ‘Cumberland Banks’

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 02 Jul 2025 21:18:55 +0000

Singer-songwriter Nicki Bluhm gives a nod to her adopted hometown of Nashville with her new track “Cumberland Banks.” Released today (July 2), the track serves as the lead single from her eighth studio album Rancho Deluxe, which arrives on October 3.

The groovy story-song was inspired by recent journeys on the road alongside the celebrated bluegrass act The Infamous Stringdusters. Anchored by rhythmic accompaniment from Mumford & Sons touring band member Matt Mennefee on banjo and dobro provided by Anders Beck of Greensky Bluegrass, “Cumberland Banks” showcases Bluhm’s keen ability to transport listeners into her lyrical landscapes.

“Canoeing down the Cumberland River was a favorite pastime of ours until the day we found ourselves huddled under a bridge fearing for our lives in the midst of a Tennessee thunderstorm,” Bluhm shares in a statement. “This song is that story told in the form of a late-night summertime John Hartford and Roger Miller pick-along.”

“Cumberland Banks” serves as the first preview of Rancho Deluxe, which was named as a nod to the home studio where she and partner, Jesse Noah Wilson, crafted the record. Mennefee and Beck are just two of a list of seasoned musicians who join Bluhm on the project, including Jess Nolan, Kai Welch, and Cameron Neal. Sonically, the San Francisco native’s upcoming project promises a soundscape filled with elements of 70s-era country, indie folk, psych-rock, and classic soul.

“This is a harvest record,” shares Bluhm. “It’s a collection of the fruits of my labor. I’ve taken all these life lessons and experiences, and I’ve learned from them. Jesse and I have an amazing arsenal of friends and family that we recruited to play on the record, and that interplay lends itself to a freedom in the studio. We were focused on catching the moment, being in the room together, and experiencing something communally.”

Listen to “Cumberland Banks” below:

Rancho Deluxe Track List:

“Bay Laurel Leaves”
“Falling Out of Dreams”
“Tumbleweed”
“Keep on Growing”
“Cumberland Banks”
“Change the Channel”
“Simple Side of Me”
“Trying to Survive”
“Taking Chances”
“Long Time to Make Old Friends”

Nicki Bluhm 2025 Tour Dates:

July 11-12 – Nashville, Tenn. @ Celebration of Summer Jam at Watkins Glen – Analog at Hutton Hotel
July 31 – San Francisco, Calif. @ The Heart of Town – Pier 48 in Mission Rock
Aug. 14 – Park City, Utah @ Park City Song Summit

Brandy and Monica Reunite for ‘The Boy Is Mine’ Co-Headlining Tour

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 01 Jul 2025 12:15:00 +0000

Music history was made in 1998 when Brandy and Monica topped the charts with their record-breaking collaboration “The Boy Is Mine.” Now, the two R&B hitmakers are marking another milestone moment by joining forces for their first co-headlining tour.

Their appropriately titled The Boy Is Mine Tour will make its way to 24 cities across the U.S., beginning on October 16 at Heritage Bank Center in Cincinnati. They’ll make their way to Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Atlanta, Las Vegas, Baltimore, Indianapolis, and more before wrapping things up in Houston on December 7.

The landmark tour also features an impressive list of special guests set to join Brandy and Monica on stage for select dates. Accomplished artist and actress Kelly Rowland, Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Muni Long, and American Idol Season 23 winner Jamal Roberts have all been confirmed as support.

“This really is a full-circle moment,” Brandy shared in a statement. “Monica and I coming together again isn’t just about the music—it’s about honoring where we came from and how far we’ve both come. ‘The Boy Is Mine’ was a defining chapter in R&B, and to share the stage all these years later is bigger than a reunion—it’s a celebration of growth, sisterhood, and the love our fans have given us from day one.”

“The love that ‘The Boy Is Mine’ continues to receive means everything to me,” adds Monica. “This tour is a celebration of our history, our impact, and the fans who have grown with us. Brandy and I have been on our own unique journeys, and coming back together in this way is a reminder of the power of respect, strength, and real music. We’re giving the people what they’ve been asking for, and doing it with grace, love, and purpose. God’s timing perfectly aligned us.”

Trisha Yearwood Underscores the Importance of Self-Love in ‘The Mirror’

Lorie Liebig — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 16:59:01 +0000

Award-winning artist and multi-talented entrepreneur Trisha Yearwood has shared the heartfelt title track from her first new album in six years. Released on Friday (June 27), “The Mirror” is a gentle reminder to break out of the often toxic urge to compare yourself to others.

Co-written by Yearwood, Leslie Satcher, and Bridgette Tatum and produced by Yearwood with Chad Carlson, “The Mirror” offers a message that is especially personal for the country hitmaker.

“I feel like a lot of the songs on this record are letters to my younger self,” Yearwood shares in a statement. “‘The Mirror’ is absolutely that. In my experience, we, as women, are so hard on ourselves. We pick ourselves apart. But have you ever passed yourself in a mirror and, not realizing it was you, thought, ‘She looks strong, or confident’—something you’d never say about yourself? That thought inspired the song: about reaching a place where you talk to yourself like a best friend, not your worst enemy.”

“She just stopped me in my tracks / ‘Cause I’ve never seen myself look like that,” sings Yearwood in the song’s sweet, sweeping chorus. “She looked me right straight in the eye, said, ‘I don’t know why you’re surprised’ / The truth, to me, could not be any clearer / You’ve always been the girl in the mirror.”

Set for release on July 18 via Virgin Music Group and Yearwood’s self-run label, Gwendolyn Records, The Mirror features 15 new tracks, including collaborations with Hailey Whitters, Jim Lauderdale, and Charles Kelley. The LP is also Yearwood’s first fully co-written record and the first time she has taken on the role of co-producer for her own full-length project.

To mark The Mirror‘s release, she’s set to hold special events in select cities across the U.S., including her hometown of Monticello, Georgia, where she’ll autograph copies of the record for fans. To find out more about the album release signing events (listed below), visit Trisha Yearwood’s official website.

Watch Taylor Swift’s Surprise Performance of ‘Shake It Off’ With Kane Brown in Nashville

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 06:09:51 +0000

It’s been just over six months since Taylor Swift closed out her record-breaking Eras Tour, but that streak away from the stage has ended. Last night (June 24), the hitmaker joined Kane Brown for a surprise collaboration, closing out the star-studded Tight Ends & Friends concert in Nashville.

The second annual concert, held at Brooklyn Bowl Nashville, was held to help close out the fifth year of Tight End University. The event gathers tight-end players from football teams across the country to form connections and give back to the community. Tight End University was co-founded by San Francisco 49ers’ George Kittle, player-turned-sportscaster Greg Olsen, and the Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce, who has been in a relationship with Swift for around two years.

The evening included sets from Jordan Davis, Chase Rice, Ernest, Sophia Scott, Niko Moon, and Tucker Beathard, along with a surprise appearance from Luke Combs. Kane Brown took the stage to wrap up the night with a selection of his ownhits but unexpectedly offered his final song slot to Swift, who had been happily watching the show from the venue’s balcony all evening.

Speculation about Swift possibly taking the stage had increased in the 24 hours leading up to the show, due to her being spotted with Kelce at other TEU events earlier in the week. The venue was packed with eager Swifties, many of whom waved and took videos of Swift from the crowd below as she enjoyed the concert.

After borrowing Rice’s acoustic guitar and making her way on stage, she delivered an energetic rendition of her 2014 hit single and 1989 cut “Shake It Off,” with Brown happily backing her on tambourine. The gleeful performance also marked her first time on stage since revealing she had repurchased all her masters, giving her control of her entire songbook.

Watch a portion of Taylor Swift’s surprise appearance at Tight End University, captured on video from the crowd, below:

Celebrated rock group Goose has added dates to their upcoming 2025 headlining tour. The group, hailed for their modern take on groovy prog-rock, has confirmed new live dates in Vermont, Virginia, and Pennsylvania.

Katie Pruitt Plots 2025 Time Wasn’t Wasted Acoustic Tour

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 18 Jun 2025 01:34:25 +0000

Captivating singer-songwriter Katie Pruitt has confirmed an intimate acoustic tour in support of her expanded album Mantras (Deluxe), which arrived in February. The 16-date trek, titled the Time Wasn’t Wasted Tour, will kick off on September 4 in Decatur, Georgia, and stop at venues across the U.S. through the end of October.

She’ll be joined by fellow Nashville-based songsmith Jess Nolan on select dates of the special run of shows, which wrap up on October 25 in Woodstock, New York. Attendees will get a unique opportunity to hear stripped-down cuts from the Georgia-born talent’s latest album, which delivers raw, reflective lyricism that cuts deep.

“One of the big themes of this record is the idea of building a home inside yourself rather than seeking it in others,” Pruitt shared of Mantras ahead of the record’s release. “Over the past couple years, I’ve tried to change the way I speak to myself and turn my negative internal dialogue into a kinder voice because that ends up influencing everything: the kindness starts with us and ripples outward into the world. Mantras is about finding that light within ourselves instead of falling into the trap of chasing validation from our parents or friends or religion or social media.”

Tickets for all upcoming tour stops listed below are on sale now. You can find more information on the shows and ticketing options by visiting Katie Pruitt’s official website.

Craig Finn and Patterson Hood Plot 2025 Co-Headlining Tour

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 18 Jun 2025 01:09:45 +0000

Craig Finn, frontman of The Hold Steady, and Patterson Hood, co-founding member of The Drive-By Truckers, are teaming up for a special co-headlining tour this fall. The two celebrated musicians, who have each dropped solo albums this year, will take the stage in venues along the West Coast and Southwest this November.

The dates begin with two back-to-back shows at Tractor Tavern in Seattle and continue onto cities in Oregon, California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Finn and Hood will perform both individually and together during the sets, which feature backing instrumentation by Ben Hackett. Celebrated singer-songwriter Alejandro Escovedo will also appear as a special guest during the Santa Fe, New Mexico concert on November 19.

“Patterson Hood and his band The Drive-By Truckers were a huge inspiration to the origins of The Hold Steady,” Craig Finn shares in a statement. “He is one of my favorite songwriters, and he’s also become a great friend. This tour, which will feature us going back and forth with songs and stories, is a dream come true. I expect it to be musical and joyful and can’t wait to get it started.”

“Craig and I have a ton of wonderful history, beginning with a mutual admiration for our bands,” adds Patterson Hood. “The Hold Steady and Drive-By Truckers had a huge tour together in 2008 (The Rock & Roll Means Well Tour) that we both consider a landmark in our histories. Later in 2012, Craig and I toured Europe together (with our friend Will Johnson) and that’s when our friendship really took on a next level. I consider Craig a super close friend and one of my most trusted and admired confidants. We’ve been trying to find a way to collaborate again for years and this is finally happening.”

Multiple pre-sales for the co-headlining dates listed below (aside from the November 16 concert in Phoenix, which will go on sale in August) will take place this week, beginning on Wednesday, June 18 at 10 a.m. local time.

Motion City Soundtrack Mark Return With New Album, Lead Single ‘She Is Afraid’

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 18 Jun 2025 00:11:54 +0000

Nearly a decade has passed since Motion City Soundtrack stepped away from the spotlight, but the pop-punk hitmakers are back with a new project. Their seventh studio album, The Same Old Wasted Wonderful World, will arrive September 19 via Epitaph Records, marking the Minneapolis-based band’s first new full-length release since 2015.

With The Same Old Wasted Wonderful World, Motion City Soundtrack embraced the opportunity to experiment and evolve their sound, instead of trying to rekindle the magic of past releases. This growth can also be seen and heard lyrically, representing a new chapter for the group, collectively and individually.

“I think that if you look at a lot of our past records, it’s about ‘What’s wrong? What am I not getting right? Why do I feel fucking crazy? Why can’t I figure this out…’ and I figured it out,” lead vocalist and guitarist Justin Pierre shares. “It’s almost like I felt I didn’t have an identity [in the past] and now by working through the hard stuff, I know who I am.”

Epitaph Records

Sean O’Keefe, who worked on two of the band’s early releases, served as producer on the 11-track LP, which features collaborations with Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy, Deanna Belos of Sincere Engineer, and Citizen’s Mat Kerekes.

To coincide with the album announcement, the band has also shared their infectious lead single “She Is Afraid,” which explores the exhausting tension and uncertainty that can bubble up within a relationship.

Watch the official music video for “She Is Afraid” below:

The Same Old Wasted Wonderful World Track List:

“Some Wear a Dark Heart”
“She Is Afraid”
“Particle Physics” feat. Patrick Stump
“You Know Who the Fuck We Are”
“Melancholia”
“Your Days are Numbered” feat. Mat Kerekes
“Downer”
“Mi Corazón”
“Bloodline”
“Things Like This” feat. Sincere Engineer
“The Same Old Wasted Wonderful World”

June 17 – New York, N.Y. @ Mercury Lounge
June 18 – Asbury Park, N.J. @ The Stone Pony
June 27 – Milwaukee, Wis. @ Summerfest

Noah Cyrus Details Upcoming Album, Featuring Fleet Foxes, Ella Langley and More

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 17 Jun 2025 06:18:59 +0000

Singer-songwriter and actress Noah Cyrus is returning to her roots with her upcoming sophomore album. I Want My Loved Ones to Go With Me, set for release on July 11 via RECORDS/Columbia Records, finds the 25-year-old claiming her own space within the Americana, indie folk, and country genres.

“For a long time, I couldn’t really trust in my own choices. I had to learn how to make decisions for myself and make that transition into adulthood,” Cyrus shares. “But I’ve found who I am, I know who I am, and this record shows what I had inside me all this time. This album is me.”

The 11-track LP features an eclectic mix of collaborators, including beloved folk-pop outfit Fleet Foxes, innovative indie rock singer-songwriter Bill Callahan, breakout country hitmaker Ella Langley, and pop-country heavyweight Blake Shelton. The record’s acoustic-driven soundscape serves as the backdrop for Cyrus’s reflections on the importance of family and the mysterious magic of the world around us.

“I want this album to offer fans a sense of comforting, peaceful nostalgia,” explains Cyrus. “That’s something that I feel so heavily when I listen to music. We all want to connect with our past while also being aware of the present moment. Music does that for me, and this collection of songs was made with that in mind,” she continues. “I want to evoke that feeling of a comforting friend that a song can be – and allow us all to heal.”

You can catch Cyrus on the road in support of I Want My Loved Ones to Go With Me later this year, beginning with a record release show on July 11 in Los Angeles. Her headlining North American tour will stretch through September and October, stopping in cities like Seattle, Boston, Chicago, Austin, Philadelphia, and Nashville among others.

Tickets for all North American tour dates listed below will go on sale this Friday, June 20, at 10 a.m. local time. You can find more information on presale opportunities and ticketing options by visiting Noah Cyrus’s official website.

Tyler Childers Confirms New Studio Album ‘Snipe Hunter,’ Shares ‘Nose on the Grindstone’

Lorie Liebig — Mon, 16 Jun 2025 19:56:48 +0000

One of modern country music’s most important voices and talented songwriters has a new record on the way, and it’s coming sooner than you might expect. Tyler Childers‘ seventh studio album, Snipe Hunter, is set to drop next Wednesday, July 25, via Hickman Holler Records/RCA Records.

Details about the project are scarce, but he has confirmed that Rick Rubin was tapped as producer for the LP, with additional work by Nick Sanborn of electropop act Sylvan Esso. Childers’ move to recruit Rubin, one of music’s most accomplished and award-winning producers, makes the Kentucky native’s upcoming LP his first non-self-produced record since 2019’s Country Squire.

Childers has also released the long-awaited studio version of, “Nose on the Grindstone,” which has been a favorite among longtime fans and a regular inclusion on his live setlists for years.

Shooter Jennings Is Bringing New Life to His Father’s Unreleased Recordings

Lorie Liebig — Mon, 16 Jun 2025 19:10:22 +0000

Accomplished musician and producer Shooter Jennings is ready to share a treasure trove of previously unheard recordings from his influential father, Waylon Jennings. Songbird, set for release on October 3 via Son of Jessi/Thirty Tigers, marks the first of three upcoming collections of music recorded live and in-studio from 1973 to 1984 by the late country music legend.

The collections are the result of Shooter Jennings and seasoned audio engineer Nate Haessly’s careful curation, sorting through hundreds of Waylon Jennings’ recordings that showcased an especially important creative era in his life.

“What became very apparent to me was that my dad was recording constantly with his band The Waylors between tours,” Shooter Jennings shares in a statement. “Just having won the David-and-Goliath battle against RCA for creative control and artistic freedom, Waylon was awarded the ability to record his music on his terms in his own studios, with his touring band, and without label oversight and without any outside influence.

“There was just so much inside, my mind was blown!” he continues. “These weren’t demos, these were songs that were cut with the intention of releasing, and as time went on, not all of them found places on the albums that Waylon and the Waylors were releasing at the time.”

Son of Jessi/Thirty Tigers

After sorting through the treasure trove of material, Shooter Jennings recruited an impressive list of fellow musicians and artists to complete the three-record project. Multiple surviving members of Waylon’s backing band, The Waylors, were brought into the studio, including backing vocalist Carter Robertson, guitarist Gordon Payne, keyboardist Barny Robertson, and bassist Jerry Bridges. He also welcomed modern acts, including singer-songwriters Ashley Monroe and Elizabeth Cook, to help build out the record’s soundscapes. Shooter also chose to mix all newly captured vocals and musical accompaniment via Sunset Sound Studio 3’s analog, custom-built 1976 DeMedio API mixing board to retain the tracks’ old-school sound.

“Songbird is the beginning of Waylon’s return to the modern world,” Shooter Jennings explains. “This is the first of three gifts from me to you: the fans that have kept my father’s voice, songs, and legacy alive all these years. The next few years are going to be full of some of the most exciting musical moments that the world never knew they were going to hear. I hope that these records bring the kind of joy to you that they have brought me.

“This project has given me an entirely new chapter in my relationship with my father and working on this music has brought a whole new understanding about how, when, and why my dad made music,” he adds. “The hard work is there on the tapes and the passion and the soul within is as alive today as it was the day it was recorded.”

The record’s title track, “Songbird,” is a captivating cover of the Fleetwood Mac cut off their landmark 1977 album, Rumours. Shooter Jennings unveiled the song and announced details about his labor of love during a special event at The Viper Room in West Hollywood, California on June 15, which marked both Father’s Day and what would have been Waylon Jennings’ 88th birthday.

More information about Songbird, including its full track listing, is expected to be shared in the coming weeks.

Margo Price Details Declarative New Album ‘Hard Headed Woman’

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 15:38:59 +0000

One of modern country music’s most stellar singer-songwriters is back with a brand new record at the ready. On August 29, Margo Price will release her fifth studio album, Hard Headed Woman, via Loma Vista Recordings.

The 12-track LP, crafted with longtime producer Matt Ross-Spang inside Nashville’s RCA Studio A, includes collaborations with fellow advocate songsmiths Tyler Childers and Jesse Welles. Known for her unfiltered lyrical storytelling that balances emotional honesty with unapologetic confidence, Price’s rare sense of artistry only seems to get better and more authentic with time.

Loma Vista Recordings

Price penned the record’s punchy lead single, “Don’t Let the Bastards Get You Down” with her husband and stellar musician Jeremy Ivey and two of the most impactful singer-songwriters in history; Kris Kristofferson and Rodney Crowell.

The track takes its name from the powerful words Kristofferson whispered to Sinéad O’Connor when she was booed on stage during a Bob Dylan tribute concert. That powerful declaration inspired O’Connor to continue her performance despite the crowd’s backlash, which spawned from her headline-making protest against the Catholic Church’s handling of sexual abuse cases.

Now, nearly a year after Kristofferson’s death at age 88, Price is keeping the spirit of outlaw country alive and well by continuing to stand up for what she believes without apologies.

“I always hope to do like Johnny Cash did, which is speak up for the common man and woman,” Price shares. “But there have been so many threats and anger and vitriol over the years when I am only coming from a place of love. So I made the decision to rebuild everything from the ground up. I hope this album inspires people to be fearless and take chances and just be unabashedly themselves, in a culture that tries as hard as it can to beat us into all being the same.”

Lydia Luce Holds On to Hope In Sweeping New Single ‘Wisteria’

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 09:05:00 +0000

Stellar singer-songwriter Lydia Luce has shared her stirring new track, “Wisteria,” a hopeful anthem for anyone seeking a fresh start or a chance to pivot toward a new path.

Penned by Luce, Jake Finch, and Collin Pastore, with production from Jordan Lehning, the song gently sweeps listeners through a dreamy soundscape, anchored by Luce’s heavenly vocals and enchanting strings.

“Quite often I’m at home and I hear my partner laughing or singing to himself upstairs,” Luce shares in a statement. “It makes me so happy. I sometimes can’t believe we are where we are. Our relationship began with substance abuse and codependency and we have found our way to a safe and loving marriage with the help of therapy and the willingness to grow.

“This song is about hope and believing that change can happen,” she continues. “I feel that way with our relationship and with my chronic pain/injuries. It’s so beautiful it makes me want to cry. We will continue to face challenges and there will be weeks of physical pain but I know we can get to the other side with time. For now, it feels so good to sit on my couch with my dog and listen to Ryan sing to himself upstairs.”

Luce has also shared a picturesque music video for the track, which transports her overseas to a stunning backdrop of scenic landscapes.

“The music video for ‘Wisteria’ was filmed in the English countryside with Katie Sylvester,” Luce explains. “We had just finished recording at Real World Studios in Box and we stayed a few days extra to film in the area. We wandered through fields of cows and sheep and filmed at the beautiful Iford Manor gardens.”

Next week, Luce will hit the road for a slate of East Coast dates supporting Cornelia Murr, which includes stops in San Francisco, Seattle, and San Diego. You can find more information about the tour dates listed below by visiting Lydia Luce’s official website.

Field Medic Confirms New Album, Shares Bittersweet Lead Single ‘MELANCHOLY’

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 07:45:00 +0000

Field Medic, the musical project of singer-songwriter Kevin Patrick Sullivan, has shared the lead single from his upcoming album, surrender instead, due out on August 8. “MELANCHOLY” mixes accessible pop with raw, cutting lyricism.

“After getting sober, years in therapy, and for the first time taking an antidepressant, I would still sometimes suffer from days or weeks of stifling depression,” Sullivan shares, reflecting on the creation of his latest song. “Experiencing that unique and dreadful feeling comes as quite a shock when you’ve been ‘doing the work’ and ‘healing’ in the ways that I had been, and still am.

“I had just read William Styron’s ‘darkness visible,’ which is his memoir about his time in the throes of a depressive episode,” he continues. “Having also recently written a doo-wop song for a pitch for sync, the ’50s chord progression was fresh in my mind, as well as the examination of melancholy as a lifelong disease that waxes and wanes, but may never go away entirely.”

With surrender instead, Sullivan marks a new creative chapter, arriving a decade after the release of his debut album Light is Gone. It’s the result of personal evolution and growth, inspired by the unpredictable path leading you into your 30s and all the speedbumps you face along the way.

This fall, you can catch Field Medic live as support on Richy Mitch & The Coal Miners’ U.S. headlining tour. Tickets for all live dates, which are listed below, are on sale now. Additional information about the tour and ticketing options can be accessed by visiting Field Medic’s official website.

Iron & Wine Recruits I’m With Her for New Single ‘Robin’s Egg’

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 07:24:37 +0000

Singer-songwriter Sam Beam, aka Iron & Wine, joined forces with folk supergroup I’m With Her for his latest track, “Robin’s Egg.” The song, anchored by the heavenly harmonies of Aoife O’Donovan, Sarah Jarosz, and Sara Watkins, arrives just weeks before the start of the two act’s North American co-headlining tour.

“Robin’s Egg” is a stompy, psychedelic-tinged gem with a layered yet airy soundscape that lets the four talents’ vocals soar to the forefront.

“Easy dreaming ain’t so harmless / Some go to your head,” they proclaim in the groovy but lyrically bittersweet tune. “You got blue and loosey-goosey / I went robin’s egg.”

“I had the start of ‘Robin’s Egg’ kicking around and began finishing the tune earlier this year with I’m With Her in mind,” Beam shares. “We had already started to plan our summer tour together; I passed it to them with the hope they were up for adding their voices to it, and lucky for me, they were! I’m looking forward to performing it, and a few other surprises, with them this summer.”

I’m With Her released their captivating second album, Wild and Clear and Blue, last month, which serves as the trio’s long-awaited followup to their 2018 debut LP, See You Around. They’ll join Iron & Wine for the kickoff of their joint tour on July 10 in Interlochen, Michigan, with dates scheduled through the end of July. Tickets for all co-headlining shows, which are listed below, are on sale now.

“We told you there’d be more shows soon! Can’t wait for more time all together this fall,” Van Etten shared, along with her experience with stage fright, on a June 10 Instagram post. “Touring with my band has been such a nourishing experience.”

Medium Build Searches for Fulfillment in New Single ‘Drug Dealer’

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 02:35:00 +0000

Singer-songwriter Nick Carpenter, who performs under the moniker Medium Build, gets candid in his latest track, “Drug Dealer.” The intimate track, his first new single since the release of his experimental EP, takeaways, examines the feelings of joyful escapism and hope that arise when pining after a mysterious stranger.

“‘Drug Dealer’ is about the universal loneliness that all of us share,” explains Carpenter. “I always find myself falling for the strangers in my world. The helpful flight attendant or the grouchy barista, perfect in the way that they don’t know me, and I don’t know them. As I aged out of youthful social circles and the loneliness in my life became more obvious, the desire to fill that void with the adoration or acceptance of a stranger became stronger. I’ve spent my whole life looking for someone who could save me. But really, we all know ain’t nobody gonna fill that void but ourselves. I hope this tune promotes self-love. I’m definitely working on loving myself right now.

“I guess my sexuality always seemed like something I had to prove before I could properly identify as a member of a community,” he continues. “As I’ve aged and explored, I’ve learned that experience, while an excellent teacher, is not the qualifier for membership. You are breathing and shitting and crying like all of us are until you’re not. Take pride in the things that make you different, but rest in the cradle that is your shared place, the human place. Have sex with your drug dealer, or don’t. Have kids or don’t. We’re all in this together! And unfortunately, we have more in common with our opps[sp] than we have differences.”

You can catch Medium Build out on the road this summer, where he’ll serve as support for both Tyler Childers and Rainbow Kitten Surprise‘s headlining tours. The slate of shows listed below includes stops in cities across the U.S. through the end of September. You can find more information on the live dates and view ticketing options by visiting Medium Build’s official website.

Josh Ritter to Release New Album ‘I Believe in You, My Honeydew,’ Adds Tour Dates

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 02:30:00 +0000

Seasoned singer-songwriter Josh Ritter is set to release a new studio album thematically centered around the magic and mystery of the human experience. Set for release on September 12 via Thirty Tigers and produced by Sam Kassirer, I Believe in You, My Honeydew represents a new era of creative evolution for the acclaimed lyricist and musician.

“I lived in the woods when I was a kid,” Ritter shares in a statement, describing the inspiration behind his latest project. “I used to believe (and maybe I was right) that I could walk out of our front door, across the gravel road, and, pointing myself north, I could walk to Canada, never once leaving the tree line. Wonder was a temple with no walls, and the Muse was still just a ripple in the ponderosas. I felt no fear.

“I’m 48 now. Decades have passed,” he continues. “There have been times I felt my inspiration, my Muse, had passed along with them. And then, not too long ago, I decided that instead of waiting for the Muse to write me a song, I would write the Muse a song instead. I started referring to my Muse as my Honeydew. And this album was born.

I Believe in You, My Honeydew Album Artwork

“The songs on Honeydew are songs for my Muse, my invisible and blinding companion of long-standing,” concludes Ritter. “I hope it enjoys them. I hope that it experiences a bit of what it’s like to be human, a bit of what it’s like to be lonely, scared, uncertain, joyful, righteous. I believe in you, my honeydew.”

To coincide with the arrival of his upcoming LP, Ritter has also confirmed a new roster of U.S. tour dates set for this November. The 12-date run includes stops in Chicago, Philadelphia, New York City, Minneapolis, and New York City this November.

Tickets for Ritter’s newly announced live dates (listed below) will be available during a limited pre-sale beginning Wednesday, June 11, at 10 a.m. local time. A portion of proceeds raised from pre-sale tickets purchased via Ritter’s official website will be donated to the Immigrant Defense Project, a non-profit organization that works to protect the rights of immigrants within the United States and worldwide.

Olivia Dean Confirms New Album ‘The Art of Loving,’ Shares ‘Nice to Each Other’ Music Video

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 10 Jun 2025 02:22:53 +0000

Award-winning singer-songwriter Olivia Dean is gearing up to share her sophomore album later this year. Set for release on September 26 via Capitol Records, The Art of Loving finds the 26-year-old talent examining the many facets and types of love we experience during our journeys through life.

The record’s breezy lead single, “Nice to Each Other,” offers a light and groovy introduction into her new era of artistry. Co-written by Dean and Matt Hales with production by Zach Nahome, the track delivers a polished soundscape anchored by clever lyricism.

“I don’t know where the switches are / Or where you keep the cutlery,” she admits playfully. “And I’ll probably crash your stupid car / And make your life a misery.”

“‘Nice to Each Other’ is a song about the push and pull of exploring your independence in dating,” Dean explains in a statement. “It’s about enjoying someone in the present and allowing it to be both light and meaningful. I think this song and video represents a playfulness in me that I’m excited for people to see.”

Album Art by Jack Davison

Ahead of The Art of Loving‘s release, Dean will embark on her Across the Atlantic Tour, which will make its way to venues across the U.S. and U.K. through the end of August. She’ll also join Sabrina Carpenter and Sam Fender as support on select dates of their individual headlining tours.

Frankie Cosmos Cause Chaos in New Music Video for ‘Pressed Flower’

Lorie Liebig — Fri, 06 Jun 2025 13:00:54 +0000

Frankie Cosmos have shared a brand new track from their upcoming record Different Talking. “Pressed Flower” is a playful, captivating cut from the New York City-based four-piece band’s latest LP, which arrives on June 27 via Sub Pop.

The record, which also marks the group’s first entirely self-produced full-length project, features 17 tracks, including previous singles “Vanity” and “Bitch Heart.” Bandmates Greta Kline, Alex Bailey, Katie Von Schleicher, and Hugo Stanley recruited actress Tracey Ullman to star in the colorfully unpredictable music video for “Pressed Flower.”

“It’s a dream come true to have Tracey Ullman star in this video,” shares Kline. “She’s the funniest person I know and brings love, depth, and care to every character she plays. Getting to play dress-up with her and find this Manhattanite havoc-wreaker character was a blast.

“The Director, Adam Kolodny, brought the perfect framework to our crazy concept,” she continues. “This song, for me, is about figuring out who you are, moving on while looking back, and feeling the effects of memories on locations. The video is about someone running around NYC in a disguise, causing a chaotic chain of events for the locals (played by my band).”

Watch the official music video for “Pressed Flower” below:

We’re hoping to bring this feeling to you in our new tour Young the Giant: In the Open. While we can’t play a full set for you under a bridge or on a cliffside, we hope these beautiful intimate venues will give you the same feeling.”

Joshua Ray Walker Details New Album ‘Tropicana,’ Confirms Summer Tour Dates

Lorie Liebig — Mon, 02 Jun 2025 19:17:39 +0000

While undergoing chemotherapy treatments for stage 3b colon cancer, singer-songwriter Joshua Ray Walker transported himself to a place drenched in warm sunlight and scented with the salty air of ocean breezes. That relaxing dreamscape became the setting for the songs that make up Tropicana, the Dallas native’s new album out June 13.

“I was at home for a year, without the ability to play shows or even take a vacation,” Walker shares in a statement. “Since I couldn’t leave town and go see a palm tree in real life, I started writing about them.”

The 10-track project will welcome listeners to The Tropicana, a fictional beachside hotel that serves as the record’s thematic anchor. Its specific location is never defined, an intentional move by the songsmith allowing the songs to become the soundtrack to anywhere you might be soaking up the summer sun.

“It’s the sort of place where you can order a piña colada at the pool bar and go wander down a nondescript beach,” explains Walker, describing the mythical locale he hand-crafted. “I couldn’t go to the beach, so I decided to bring the beach to me.”

Tropicana Album Art

Fans will get a few chances to hear tracks from Walker’s surprise project, sonically inspired by nostalgic 90’s country and classic Jimmy Buffet cuts, this summer. His Tropicana Tour, also announced today (June 2), will begin August 14 in Little Rock and will stop in five additional cities, including Nashville, Cleveland, and Indianapolis.

A complete list of tour dates, including his previously announced U.S. shows and festival appearances, can be found below. Additional information on the tour and ticketing options is available by visiting Joshua Ray Walker’s official website.

“‘When the Roses Bloom Again’ has always struck me as a song about chances and sacrifice, most notably those of soldiers and their loved ones who suffer the ultimate sacrifice,” Cantrell tells Barnburner. “It had been a dream of mine to get to sing someday with Steve Earle, and he was gracious to take the ‘soldier’s part’ in this updated version of Roses recorded for my most recent album, Just Like a Rose: The Anniversary Sessions.

“We were still working on this short film to accompany the song when my husband, Jeremy Tepper, died unexpectedly last June,” she continues. “Though he wasn’t a veteran, his passing gave me an even deeper personal connection to the sudden, shattering, life-altering grief experienced by so many families of veterans. As we come towards the anniversary of my family’s loss, it seemed fitting to release this for Memorial Day in tribute to all the families of fallen veterans who have made that ultimate sacrifice.”

An accomplished industry veteran and creative force behind SiriusXM’s Outlaw Country channel, Tepper’s sudden passing on June 14, 2024, sent shockwaves through the musical community. His vision, humor, and kindness continue to leave a mark on those who knew him, and those who were inspired by him.

The moving video for “When the Roses Bloom Again” was directed and edited by Rachel Liebling—known for her work on the celebrated 1994 documentary film High Lonesome: The Story of Bluegrass Music—with visual effects provided by Julie Best and cinematography via Rand Rosenberg. Featuring vintage clips of soldiers during wartime and live performance footage from Cantrell and Earle, the clip offers a moving visual accompaniment to the pair’s already powerful performance.

Cantrell encourages viewers to consider making a donation to the non-profit organization TAPS, which delivers “compassionate care and comprehensive resources to all those grieving a death in the military or veteran community.”

Just Like a Rose: The Anniversary Sessions is available now via Propeller Sound Recordings.

Lord Huron Confirm New Album ‘The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1,’ Share ‘Looking Back’

Lorie Liebig — Fri, 09 May 2025 17:06:23 +0000

On the heels of a major tour announcement and the release of two intriguing singles, Lord Huron is ready to share details of their next full-length project. The Cosmic Selector, Vol. 1, set for release on July 18 via Mercury Records, will serve as the acclaimed indie-folk outfit’s fifth studio album.

The 12-track LP was written and co-produced by frontman Ben Schneider and expands upon the layered, modern yet nostalgic soundscapes at the heart of past tracks like “To the Ends of the Earth,” “The Night We Met,” and “Not Dead Yet.”

The Cosmic Selector, Vol. 1, will include the Kristen Stewart collaboration “Who Laughs Last,” which dropped in January, along with “Nothing I Need,” which has become a radio heavy-hitter since its release in March.

Mercury Records

To coincide with their album announcement, Lord Huron has also shared a new album cut, “Looking Back.” Set alongside a dreamy, almost haunting accompaniment driven by rhythmic guitar and glittering harp, the song questions if it’s possible to cut oneself free from the heavy chains of the past.

“Spent my whole life looking back and wondering who I was / Something changed the day you left, and I’ll never know just what,” Schneider declares in the track’s soaring chorus. “I’ll spend my whole life looking up and wondering who I am / Something tells me you and I will never meet again.”

“The weight of your past can distort your present and future, the way massive celestial objects warp the fabric of the universe,” he shares in a statement. “Like a bowling ball on a trampoline. This song wonders if it’s possible to let go or if looking back is a fundamental law of existence.”

Watch the official music video for “Looking Back” below:

Lord Huron, The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1 Track List:

“Looking Back”
“Bag of Bones”
“Nothing I Need”
“Is There Anybody Out There”
“Who Laughs Last” ft. Kristen Stewart
“The Comedian”
“Watch Me Go”
“Fire Eternal” ft. Kazu Makino
“It All Comes Back”
“Used to Know”
“Digging Up the Past”
“Life is Strange”

Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats Share Scenic New Video for ‘South of Here’

Lorie Liebig — Fri, 09 May 2025 03:08:09 +0000

When it came time to film a music video for the title track off their latest album, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats were ready for an adventure. With the help and creative vision of director Brantley Gutierrez, the band traveled to the scenic landscapes of Colorado to film accompanying visuals for their song “South of Here.”

The video, captured on vivid 33mm Kodak film, transports viewers to that welcoming yet starkly remote backdrop. It’s a captivating partner to Rateliff’s reflective, free-wandering lyrics, which seem to be searching for some sprinkle of certainty out in the vast unknown.

“The music video [for “South of Here”] is a journey,” Rateliff shares in a statement. “It is not a destination but an act of self-discovery. Directed by Brantley Gutierrez and shot on film throughout the Colorado wilderness, join me on my journey out West.”

“When Nathaniel and I began discussing the concept for the video, we were both drawn to the mood and aesthetic of late 1960s and early ’70s westerns—films like Sidney Lumet’s Jeremiah Johnson,” adds Gutierrez. “We wanted to capture that same texture, grain, and cinematic language, so we chose to shoot on 16mm anamorphic to honor that legacy and to frame the kind of wide, rugged vistas you’d find in a John Ford western.”

Watch the cinematic music video for “South of Here” below:

Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats’ 2025 Tour Dates:

June 20 – Clarkston, Mich. @ Pine Knob Music Theatre (Outlaw Music Festival)

Djo’s Another Bite Tour Heads to North America This Fall

Lorie Liebig — Fri, 09 May 2025 02:24:59 +0000

Songwriter, actor, and producer Joe Keery is bringing his eclectic musical project Djo to venues across the U.S. later this year. His recently confirmed Another Bite Tour will extend his already jam-packed 2025 schedule, supporting his latest album The Crux.

Although many were first introduced to Keery’s creative talents via his role as Steve Harrington on the popular Netflix series Stranger Things, the multi-talented 33-year-old has been crafting original music since his teen years. The Crux, which dropped on April 4 via AWAL, marks Djo’s third studio album and first full-length release since his nostalgic track “End of Beginning” became an unexpected viral hit on TikTok.

In a true full-circle moment, psych-rock outfit Post Animal will serve as the tour’s opening act on select dates. Before creating Djo, Keery was a member of Post Animal until 2019 but reunited with his former bandmates earlier this year to help write and record their upcoming album, IRON, due out on July 25.

Tickets for all newly-announced tour dates listed below go on sale tomorrow, May 9 at 10 a.m. local time. Thanks to a partnership with non-profit organization PLUS1, $1 from every ticket sold will be donated to “organizations working for equity, access, and dignity for all,” according to a press release.

Hayden Pedigo’s ‘I’ll Be Waving as You Drive Away’ Will Tug at Your Heartstrings

Lorie Liebig — Fri, 09 May 2025 01:42:00 +0000

Captivating guitarist Hayden Pedigo offers a sweet slice of country nostalgia with his latest single, “I’ll Be Waving as You Drive Away.” A master at creating instrumental songs with a captivating and poetic soundscape, the Oklahoma City-based talent delivers an irresistibly charming tune that feels fresh yet somehow familiar.

“The title is based on a 1978 episode of Little House on the Prairie that still crushes me to this day (look up the synopsis if you have never seen it. Actually, just go watch the episode if you can),” Pedigo shares of the song. “It’s a lot different than anything I have ever written before. It has this almost Chet Atkins/Merle Travis bounce to it that I’ve never before on a song. It’s pulling from the classic 1950s chord progressions that I’m a sucker for. It’s like Merle Travis’s version of ‘I’ll See You in My Dreams’ flipped on its head.

“The opening chord clusters are kind of the Wizard of Oz moment where the screen turns to color and it kind of brings the sense of wonder and mystery I really love,” he adds. “It ends the album on the purest/sweetest note possible and feels like the absolute perfect way to end this record.”

“I’ll Be Waving as You Drive Away” is the second pre-release single and title track from Pedigo’s upcoming studio album, due out on June 6 via Mexican Summer. The project serves as the third installment of what he calls “The Motor Trilogy,” closing out a creative chapter that began with his 2021 record Letting Go and continued with The Happiest Times I Ever Ignored in 2023.

Mexican Summer

Ahead of its release, Pedigo will hit the road next week in support of I’ll Be Waving as You Drive Away, including a handful of U.S. shows ahead of a long stretch of overseas performances scheduled through the end of September. You can see a full list of upcoming live dates and additional ticketing information by visiting Hayden Pedigo’s official website.

Watch the music video for “I’ll Be Waving as You Drive Away,” a charming homage to the classic 1981 outlaw country documentary Heartworn Highways, below:

The Who Proclaim ‘The Song Is Over’ With Final North American Tour Dates

Lorie Liebig — Fri, 09 May 2025 00:01:49 +0000

Pioneering British rock band The Who will make their way to venues across North America for one last time this summer. Announced today (May 8), The Song Is Over North America Farewell Tour will place a bookend on a historic career that’s spanned over six decades.

Set to begin on August 16 in Sunrise, Florida, the tour will make its way to 14 cities in the U.S. and Canada, including Philadelphia, Chicago, Toronto, New York City, Los Angeles, and Vancouver. The special run of shows will come to a close with a performance in Las Vegas on September 28.

Since their formation in 1964, The Who has influenced generations of new artists with their bold, genre-blending soundscapes. Known for trademark hits like “My Generation,” “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” and “Baba O’Riley,” the history-making group earned induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990 and has released a total of nine studio albums.

The band’s remaining founding members—lead vocalist Roger Daltrey and guitarist Pete Townshend—say the choice to return to North America for one final time marks an important full-circle moment.

“Every musician’s dream in the early 60’s was to make it big in the US charts,” Daltrey shared in a statement. “For The Who, that dream came true in 1967 and our lives were changed forever. The warmth of the American audiences over the years have been inspirational to me, and reflect the feeling I remember getting after hearing the first rock records coming across the radio. Musical freedom! Rock gave us a feeling of generational rebellion.

“To me, America has always been great,” he continues. “The cultural differences had a huge impact on me, this was the land of the possible. It’s not easy to end the big part of my life that touring with The Who has been. Thanks for being there for us and look forward to seeing you one last time.”

The tour serves as a celebration of the band’s wide-ranging fanbase, who’ve kept Daltrey and Townshend returning to the stage year after year. In many ways, it’s also a musical tribute to drummer Keith Moon, who died in 1978 at just 32, and bassist John Entwistle, who performed alongside Daltrey and Townshend up until his death in 2002.

“Well, all good things must come to an end,” says Townshend. “It is a poignant time. For me, playing to American audiences and those in Canada has always been incredible. The warmth and engagement of those audiences began back in 1967 with hippies smoking dope, sitting on their blankets, and listening deeply and intensely. Music was everywhere. We all felt equal.

“Today, Roger and I still carry the banner for the late Keith Moon and John Entwistle and of course, all of our longtime Who fans,” he adds. “I must say that although the road has not always been enjoyable for me, it is usually easy: the best job I could ever have had. I keep coming back. Every time I do, I meet new fans and feel new energy. Roger and I are in a good place, despite our age, eager to throw our weight behind this fond farewell to all our faithful fans, and hopefully to new ones who might jump in to see what they have been missing for the last 57 years. This tour will be about fond memories, love, and laughter. Make sure you join in.”

Tickets for all dates of The Song Is Over Tour, listed below, will be available first through a fan club presale that begins Tuesday, May 13. A general on-sale will follow, starting Friday, May 16, at 10 a.m. local time.

Lorde Plots 2025 Ultrasound World Tour

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 08 May 2025 20:34:06 +0000

Alt-pop heavyweight Lorde is hitting the road later this year in support of her upcoming album, Virgin, due out June 27. Announced today, The Ultrasound World Tour will take the New Zealand-born hitmaker to cities across North America and Europe.

The trek begins on September 17 in Austin and will continue to Nashville, Washington D.C., Boston, Toronto, Las Vegas, and more before one final U.S. performance in Seattle on October 22. She’ll head overseas the following month, heading to venues across the U.K., Germany, Italy, France, and Sweden, among others.

Lorde’s latest set of tour dates follows the release of “What Was That,” the highly-anticipated lead single from Virgin, which marks her first full-length release in four years.

“Every show I play is a collaboration between you and me,” Lorde shared in an email sent out to fans earlier today. “We meet in a room and we make music together, our bodies and the machines in search of something bigger together. 12 years of meeting up and making sound that’s just for us. Since last time I’ve been stripping away unnecessary layers, finding us more room to move. I think that Ultrasound could be our masterpiece.”

Blood Orange, The Japanese House, Nilüfer Yana, Chanel Beads, Empress Of, Jim-E Stack, and Oklou have been tapped as support on select dates.

Tickets for all Ultrasound World Tour dates, listed below, will be available first via an artist-exclusive pre-sale that begins this Wednesday, May 14 at 10 a.m. local time.

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 06 May 2025 18:30:01 +0000

Indie folk outfit Big Thief will embark on their first North American tour since 2023 later this year. Announced today (May 6), the band’s Somersault Slide 360 Tour will begin September 17 in Sacramento, California, and will stop at 18 cities across the U.S. along with one performance in Mexico City, Mexico.

The first leg of their 2025 tour will come to a close on November 7 in Houston but don’t stress if they aren’t coming to a town near you just yet. According to a post on the band’s official Instagram account, the Somersault Slide 360 Tour “will continue into 2026, and these shows that have just been announced are the first of more to come.”

That promise also fuels rumors of new music coming sooner rather than later, as fans patiently await a follow-up to their 2022 album Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You. Band members Adrianne Lenker, Buck Meek, and James Krivchenia have all released individual solo projects in the years since Big Thief’s last record dropped.

Tickets for all tour dates listed below will go on sale this Friday, May 9, at 10 a.m. local time. Fans can sign up now for access to an artist pre-sale, which begins at 10 a.m. local time tomorrow, May 7, by visiting Big Thief’s official website.

CLOVER Finds a Fresh Start in New Single ‘Anymore’

Lorie Liebig — Fri, 02 May 2025 01:26:02 +0000

With her powerful and unfiltered new single “Anymore,” rising singer-songwriter CLOVER finds strength in letting go. Released today (May 1), the track acts as a lyrical proclamation of independence, building space to allow the complicated process of starting anew from a safe distance.

“I wrote ‘Anymore’ the day my dad went to jail,” CLOVER shares in a statement. “I woke up and my heart immediately sank. I was sad, afraid, and angry. I had spent years being there for him and trying to help him shift the trajectory of his life, but no matter what I said, the downward spiral continued. However, this time something had shifted within me. For the first time, I was putting up boundaries. It was so damn hard. How do you push someone you love away, even when you know it’s absolutely necessary?

“‘Anymore’ is everything I had come to terms with within myself,” she continues. “It’s the truth and it’s raw. It’s my declaration of surrendering the weight of someone else’s problems. It’s my path to freedom.”

Atlas COVER Art (courtesy of the artist)

“Anymore” is the third pre-release single from CLOVER’s upcoming EP, Atlas, set for release on May 30. Engineered and produced by John Rooney at New York City’s famed Electric Lady Studios, the 5-track project promises to be an intriguing, fresh blend of modern pop, vintage soul, and timeless indie folk.

Atlas marks an important milestone in the New Jersey native’s still-early career, which kicked off with the release of her debut 2020 single, “This Love.” A vocal activist and familiar presence within the Philadelphia and New York City music scenes, CLOVER is an artist well-positioned to become a breakout artist uncontained by state or genre lines.

Watch the official music video for “Anymore” below:

“Who Knew”
“Used to It”

“Joyride”

Emily Hines Searches for a New Path in ‘My Own Way’

Lorie Liebig — Fri, 02 May 2025 00:41:28 +0000

Rising singer-songwriter Emily Hines offers a complative and captivating preview of her upcoming debut album with her latest single, “My Own Way.” In the hauntingly beautiful track, the Ohio native and current Nashville resident longs to break free from an all-too-familiar cycle.

“I felt stuck in place and needed to sing myself out of it,” Hines shares in a statement. “This recording ended up playingan important role in shaping the sound of the album. At first, we weren’t planning to track any live drums on the record. We enjoyed playing with drum machines, and the cassette presented some challenges to recording live drums. But we got in an experimental mood one day and asked our friend John-Ruben Medina to play on it for us. We were so happy with how it sounded that it inspired us to record live drums on some of the other songs as well.”

Penned while sitting on her porch in Nashville, the opening track “My Own Way” was the last song Hines wrote for her upcoming debut album, These Days, due out on August 1 via Keeled Scales.

Keeled Scales

Produced by Henry Park, the 8-track LP is a carefully crafted collection of songs born as DIY recordings on Hines’ cassette recorder. The tracks’ final forms were recorded on 4-track tape, capturing the full magic of These Days‘ organic, enchanting soundscape built around Hines’ gentle, yet piercing vocals.

With her latest album cut, along with the equally hypnotizing previous single “Cowgirl Suit,” Emily Hines has positioned herself as one of the most intriguing new voices we’ve heard so far in 2025.

Listen to “My Own Way” below:

Emily Hines, These Days Track List:

“My Own Way”
“Cold Case”
“All of Our Friends”
“Cowgirl Suit”
“Callin Ya”
“UFO”
“Cedar on the River”
“I’ll Never Know” (vinyl/CD bonus track)

Mark Chesnutt Celebrates Life-Changing Sobriety With 2025 Redemption Tour

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 30 Apr 2025 18:42:04 +0000

Country hitmaker Mark Chesnutt has revealed details about the health scare that inspired him to embrace sobriety and return to the road. While his career was reaching new heights in the 1990s, a decade that earned him 14 No. 1 hits on country radio including “It Sure Is Monday” and “Brother Jukebox,” the Texas native underwent invasive spine surgery after fracturing his spine, followed later by open heart surgery.

Years later, in 2021, the award-winning artist suddenly lost the ability to walk, leading him to an urgent surgery. The long process of recovery, which was delayed further due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, kept Chesnutt on bed rest for an extended period.

The physical pain and feelings of isolation led him to drink in excess, reviving an addiction that he faced years earlier. This time, it nearly took his life, causing internal bleeding that led to a hospital stay and four blood transfusions.

Chesnutt has been sober since November 1, 2023. Just five months later, he survived an emergency quadruple bypass surgery. Now, he says he’s “back and doing better than ever,” and ready to return to what he loves most: performing for his fans.

“I’m so happy about my Redemption Tour,” Chesnutt explains in a statement. “I’m going out with excitement and a renewed energy for all aspects of performing and possibly recording. I love being on stage and seeing and hearing the crowd. I now realize that’s what I love about being in this business.”

A full list of Redemption Tour dates are listed below. You can find more information on the shows and ticketing options by visiting Mark Chesnutt’s official website.

Brent Cobb and the Fixin’s to Embark on 2025 ‘Ain’t Rocked in a While’ Tour

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 30 Apr 2025 18:02:53 +0000

Singer-songwriter Brent Cobb and his band the Fixin’s are gearing up for an extensive headlining tour this summer and fall. Set to kick off on July 10 in Oklahoma City, the Ain’t Rocked in a While Tour will take Cobb and co. to cities in the U.S. and Canada through the end of November.

The stretch of dates is in support of Cobb and The Fixin’s upcoming record, Ain’t Rocked in a While, which is set for release July 11 via Ol’ Buddy Records/Thirty Tigers. The project aims to capture the blazing energy that radiates from the stage during Cobb’s live shows, melding familiar country elements with the electrifying, riff-heavy classic rock sound that influenced him in his early days.

“I feel like sometimes when people come to our shows, there might be a disconnect,” Cobb shares in a statement. “People might view me as just a singer-songwriter. You know, sit down and tell ’em a nice, little Southern story. Sing ’em a song. And our live show kinda rocks. Sometimes people are taken aback. I want people to have an album of reference.”

Cobb, guitarist Matt McDaniel, bassist Josh Williams, and drummer Len Clark will take their new collection of rollicking tracks to stages in Chicago, Pittsburgh, Portland, Toronto, Los Angeles, and more cities before wrapping up with a performance in Great Falls, Montana, on November 23.

Tickets for all newly announced live dates, which are listed below, will go on sale this Friday, May 2, at 10 a.m. local time. Fans can find more information on the tour and ticketing options by visiting Brent Cobb’s official website.

Kacey Musgraves Inks New Record Deal, Shares Cover of Hank Williams’ ‘Lost Highway’

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 30 Apr 2025 15:05:32 +0000

Award-winning singer-songwriter Kacey Musgraves is returning to her musical roots in more ways than one. The country-pop crossover has inked a deal with Lost Highway Records, the newly-relaunched label previously home to Willie Nelson, Lucinda Williams, Hayes Carll, Drive-By Truckers, Mary Gauthier, and more.

Lost Highway Records was also the label that offered Musgraves her first record deal in 2011 and was their final artist to be signed before being absorbed by Mercury Nashville. At the time, Musgraves was in the midst of creating her debut record Same Trailer, Different Park, which went on to earn widespread critical acclaim.

“Lost Highway was always a musical stable for artists who might be considered outliers or outlaws; those who live on the fringe,” Musgraves shares in a statement. “In 2011, when other record labels questioned my songwriting and my more traditional country sound, Lost Highway believed in me, signing me to my first label deal and helped me take my music around the world. That journey has now come full circle in such a special way with John Janick and Interscope and I’m deeply honored to be able to once again call Lost Highway my musical home.”

In the years since the arrival of her debut LP, Musgraves has gone on to release a total of six studio albums, including her 2018 crossover hit Golden Hour and the pop-centered Star-Crossed in 2021. Her most recent album, 2024’s Deeper Well, offered a sonic shift toward the old-school country sound of her earlier works.

To help mark the importance of her return to Lost Highway, Musgraves has also shared a new cover of the song from which the respected label took its name. Written by Leon Payne and made famous by Hank Williams, the country classic “Lost Highway” is transformed into a fresh, psychedelically-tinged tune that feels authentic to the Texas native’s already impressive songbook

Lost Highway Records

The cover, which Musgraves co-produced with longtime creative collaborators Daniel Tashian and Ian Fitchuk, arrives as the talented 36-year-old continues work on her next full-length project.

“I’ve written a ton of songs already,” she revealed in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “I love being in a period of time where I’m not rushed by a deadline and have the space to mosey and poke around. I’m not sure yet where it’s going to end up.”

Dierks Bentley Details New Album ‘Broken Branches’

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 19:44:23 +0000

Country star Dierks Bentley is set to share his eleventh studio album with fans this summer. Announced today (April 15) the 11-track LP Broken Branches will arrive on June 13 via Capitol Records Nashville.

The collection of songs was hand-selected during a months-long process by Bentley, who thoughtfully narrowed down a trove of tracks penned by some of Nashville’s most accomplished songwriters. With the help of executive producer Mary Hilliard Harrington, he worked to craft an album that spotlights and celebrates life’s “broken branches,” or those who aren’t afraid to forge their own path.

“The country music community has a lot of broken branches in it. That’s why we’re all here,” Bentley shares in a statement. “We want to do something a little bit different, and I think everyone sees themselves like that – certainly in country. This is the people’s music and it represents that spirit of individuality so well – it’s just about doing it our own way.”

Capitol Records Nashville

Devin Dawson, Luke Dick, Ashley Gorley, Ross Copperman, and Jon Randall are just a few of the award-winning writers credited on Broken Branches, along with four co-writes from Bentley himself. Miranda Lambert also appears as a special guest on “Near You,” which serves as another example of the spirit of collaboration rooted in the record’s core.

“I think that’s what’s special about country – we’re still making music in the studio with our buddies,” adds Bentley. “We’re still getting together and talking about the songs and letting the musicians have a big say. It’s a good team – maybe a little messed up – but that’s the whole idea behind broken branches, so it just works.”

Next month, Bentley will kick off his 2025 Broken Branches Tour in support of his upcoming record. The 30-city trek, which features support from Zach Top and The Band Loula, will kick off at the Moody Center in Austin on May 29. You can find more information about the tour by visiting Dierks Bentley’s official website.

“Cold Beer Can” (Written by Jon Randall, Luke Dick, Stephen Wilson Jr., and Dierks Bentley)

A New Career-Spanning Dolly Parton Exhibit Is Coming to the Country Music Hall of Fame

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 09 Apr 2025 21:31:01 +0000

A brand new exhibit highlighting Dolly Parton‘s decades-long career is coming to the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville next month. Announced today (April 9), Dolly Parton: Journey of a Seeker will take visitors through the life and career of the multitalented Tennessee native.

“Being inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame was one of the greatest moments of my life, and being able to have a personal exhibit for the fans that put me there is a very big deal to me,” Parton shares in a statement. “This seeker is very proud and honored, and I hope you enjoy my journey. I will always love you.”

Visitors to the exhibit will be taken through the many eras of Parton’s career, from her humble beginnings as one of 12 children growing up in rural Sevierville, Tennessee, to breaking through the glass ceiling as a determined woman building a career in country music, Hollywood, and beyond.

Her incredible story will be told through a collection of rarely-seen artifacts, including recognizable state costumes, personal photographs, awards, and handwritten lyrics. Her iconic cowgirl costume from the 1980 film 9 to 5, a stunning custom-built Gibson five-string banjo, and the cassette tape recorder used while writing her hits “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You,” are among the items set to be on display.

“After accomplishing enough for three lifetimes, Dolly Parton continues to astound and amaze us with her boundless talent, her vivacious wit, and her tremendous generosity,” says Kyle Young, chief executive officer of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. “Like all great artists, Parton has demonstrated consistently that she can transform adversity and setbacks into works of stunning beauty and insight into the human condition.”

Dolly Parton: Journey of a Seeker will open inside the Country Music Hall of Fame on May 20 and will be available to visit through Sept. 2026. An illustrated companion book for the exhibition is available to pre-order or can be purchased in person via the museum’s gift store.

MJ Lenderman, Waxahatchee, and More to Perform at ShoalsFest 2025

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 09 Apr 2025 21:04:00 +0000

It’s been two years since Jason Isbell‘s hand-curated ShoalsFest has summoned music fans to Florence, Alabama for a weekend of fun, but that’s all about to change. On October 11-12, the eclectic two-day festival will make its long-awaited return to McFarland Park for its fourth year.

Isbell, who just released his solo acoustic album Foxes in the Snow on March 7, again collaborated with his manager Traci Thomas and Outback Presents to curate this year’s roster of performers. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member Jackson Browne, indie darlings MJ Lenderman and Waxahatchee, Muscle Shoals’ legends Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham, and celebrated singer-songwriter and producer Garrison Starr will take the stage during this year’s festivities.

Attendees will also be treated to two sets from Isbell: one with his band, the 400 Unit, along with a special acoustic “in the round” set alongside Patterson Hood and Chris Tompkins.

For those in search of some family-friendly entertainment, magician Steve Trash will be on hand to entertain and educate children about the importance of protecting our environment.

Launched in 2019, ShoalsFest was created by Isbell as a way to celebrate and give back to the Muscle Shoals region. The festival grounds are located just a few miles from the legendary Muscle Shoals Sound Studios and FAME Studios, where Isbell worked during his teenage years.

“We couldn’t be more excited to bring back ShoalsFest for 2025,” shares Isbell. “The lineup is going to be incredible, and I love having the opportunity to play a hometown show and bring world-class artists to the Shoals.”

Alabama residents can purchase their tickets via a special locals-only, in-person sale to be held at Rocker Gallery in Sheffield, Alabama, from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. CT. During the one-day-only sale, residents who present an Alabama driver’s license can purchase 4-day general admission tickets for $75, with a limit of 4 tickets per customer. A public on-sale for general admission and VIP passes will follow, beginning Friday, April 11 at 10 a.m. CT.

Today (April 7), the Oklahoma-born group confirmed their seventh studio album, The Price of Admission, will be released to digital platforms this Friday, April 11, via Bossier City Records/Thirty Tigers.

Bruce Springsteen to Release Treasure Trove of ‘Lost Albums’

Lorie Liebig — Sat, 05 Apr 2025 06:52:31 +0000

A new box set will help fans fill in the blanks within Bruce Springsteen‘s extensive songbook. Set for release on June 27 via Sony Music, Tracks II: The Lost Albums features 83 previously unheard songs created across 35 years.

The collection of tracks includes 7 unreleased full-length records, which Springsteen workshopped and recorded inside his house between 1983 and 2018. Listeners will get to travel back in time and hear the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member experiment in a range of genres and styles.

“The ability to record at home whenever I wanted allowed me to go into a wide variety of different musical directions,” Springsteen shares.

Tracks II: The Lost Albums will be released as a limited edition nine-disc LP, with unique packaging for each unreleased record, along with a 100-page companion book that includes an introduction penned by Springsteen, rare photographs, and album liner notes by Erik Flannigan. The complete collection will also be available on CD and digital formats, along with a condensed, 20-track version titled Lost And Found: Selections from The Lost Albums, which will arrive on CD and vinyl the same day.

“‘The Lost Albums’ were full records, some of them even to the point of being mixed and not released,” says Springsteen. “I’ve played this music to myself and often close friends for years now. I’m glad you’ll get a chance to finally hear them. I hope you enjoy them.”

If you’re already counting down the days until Tracks II finally arrives, Springsteen also delivered something to help tide you over until June 27. “Rain in the River,” a cut from the soon-to-be-released LP Perfect World, offers an intriguing preview of what hidden musical gems are yet to be uncovered.

Steve Earle Plots ‘Fifty Years of Songs and Stories’ Acoustic Tour

Lorie Liebig — Sat, 05 Apr 2025 03:52:06 +0000

Celebrated singer-songwriter Steve Earle will share experiences and music from his decades-long career during a series of special headlining shows this year. His solo acoustic Fifty Years of Songs and Stories tour will take the award-winning lyricist and musician to more than 50 cities across the U.S. and Canada.

The expansive roster of live dates begins on May 25 in Decatur, Alabama, and stretches through the end of August. Earle’s newly announced tour includes performances in Chicago, Dallas, Omaha, Houston, Buffalo, and Calgary, coming to a close with a set at the Rhythm and Roots Festival on Aug. 31.

“Awhile back I was interviewing John Hiatt on my radio show and we realized that we had known each other for fifty years,” Earle shares, reflecting on the inspiration behind his upcoming tour. “I met John in 1975, my first full year in Nashville and it occurred to me that the oldest songs that I still play (there are 3) were written that year. Now, I live to follow creative rabbits down holes and I’m old enough, now, that the idea of legacy comes up now and then, so, I decided that a more or less chronological live songbook might make for an interesting evening of music.”

Kesha and Scissor Sisters’ New Tour Aims to ‘Fight Chaos With Love’

Lorie Liebig — Fri, 04 Apr 2025 20:34:07 +0000

Pop hitmaker Kesha is back and ready to declare her independence in a brand new way. This July, she’ll kick off The Tits Out tour, just days before the release of her highly anticipated new album, . (PERIOD)

Her upcoming North American tour, which kicks off on July 1 in West Valley City, Utah, marks Kesha’s largest-scale headlining trek to date. It will also offer fans their first opportunity to hear tracks from PERIOD, which is being self-released via her own record label.

Since gaining her departure from RCA and Dr. Luke’s Kemosabe Records following multiple legal battles, Kesha has fully embraced the chance to start a new chapter as an artist. With her latest tour, the 38-year-old singer-songwriter is also pushing back against the current, ever-darkening political and social climate within the U.S.

“The most political thing we can do right now is love. Love ourselves and love each other,” Kesha shares in a statement. “Americans need to have more safe, consensual sex. Our administration is so disembodied and disconnected. I’m going TITS OUT this summer to bring as much safety, fun, acceptance, love, connection, and celebration to this country because we are just as much the fabric of this FREE nation as anyone else. We will not be quiet, and we will fight through joy! I think it’s time to make LOVE, not content. LOVE, not anger. LOVE, not hatred, and love, not war.”

“Let’s fight chaos with love, so let’s see how much love we can bring to the summer of 2025,” she adds. “And along the way, I’m looking for a sugar daddy, so if you bring a tall, hot, single friend, you get extra animal points.”

Kesha will be joined by the newly reformed Scissor Sisters, who will perform a stretch of arena dates across the U.K. and Ireland next month, marking the 20th anniversary of their hit self-titled debut album.

“We are stoked to extend our reunion to the U.S. and Canada this summer alongside Kesha,” Scissor Sisters explain. “There has always been a bit of anarchy and chaos to both of our live shows – and we can’t wait to bring that ‘anything can happen’ energy across North America again.”

Rising pop artist Slayyyter and burgeoning singer-songwriter Rose Gray have also been tapped as support on select dates.

Tickets for all tour stops, which are listed below, will go on sale Thursday, April 10, at 10 a.m. local time. Fans can sign up now for access to a limited artist pre-sale, which opens this Tuesday, April 8, at 10 a.m. local time, by visiting Kesha’s official website.

Kelsey Waldon Drives Forward With New Single ‘Comanche’

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 02 Apr 2025 18:17:56 +0000

John Prine-approved singer-songwriter Kelsey Waldon has a new album on the way, and it promises to be her most raw and honest project to date. Every Ghost, set for release on June 20 via Oh Boy Records, finds the Kentucky native unraveling trauma and examining the person she’s become along the way.

With her lead single, “Comanche,” Waldon reflects on how we present ourselves outwardly and what happens when a once-close connection becomes a distant blur in your rearview mirror. Through expertly crafted lyricism, Waldon uses her own 1988 Jeep Comanche as a source of inspiration and a symbol of independence.

“I love the whole aspect of when design mattered,” Waldon shares. “Owning your car was an expression of yourself. ‘Comanche’ is about grappling with the loss of a loved one, but not to death — it’s to boundaries that I’ve set for myself.”

“That’s why I like to ride around alone / Think about everything I’ve done,” she sings declaratively in the track’s chorus. “Take it all in and enjoy the show / Just like it’s the first time.”

Oh Boy Records

“Comanche” offers an intriguing early preview of Every Ghost, which Waldon recorded at Memphis’ Southern Grooves studio alongside her band, The Muleskinners. Although fans are sure to embrace the traditional country sound that has become a staple of Waldon’s releases, evolution and growth seem to be two key themes at the heart of Every Ghost, both lyrically and sonically.

“There’s a lot of hard-earned healing on this record,” explains Waldon. “I’ve put in the work not only to better myself and leave behind bad habits but also to learn to love my past selves. It took time and experience, but I’ve come to find compassion for who I was, and that’s a major part of this album.”

Waldon will spend much of the summer on the road supporting Every Ghost, beginning with a performance at Skinny Dennis in Nashville and continuing to cities across the U.S. through the end of August. You can find a complete list of tour dates below. To access more information about the shows, including ticketing options, visit Kelsey Waldon’s official website.

Ashley Monroe Announces ‘The Blade’ 10 Year Anniversary Show in Nashville

If you want to be in attendance to hear The Blade in its entirety live in Nashville, tickets for the show will go on sale this Friday, April 4, at 9 a.m. CT. Fans can find more information on the concert and ticketing options by visiting Ashley Monroe’s official website.

Where I’ve Been and Where We’re Going

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 02 Apr 2025 13:00:00 +0000

“If music journalism is dead, I might as well be too.”

That intensely overdramatic thought popped into my mind last year while doomscrolling through social media. Each day, I would log on to see yet another media outlet lay off staff and contributors, or be sold off to the highest bidder to be stripped for profits by private equity.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic altered all of our timelines permanently upon its jarring arrival in March 2020, the music journalism ecosystem has become a rainforest overtaken by loggers. Larger companies, many of whom had already spent years focused on feeding algorithms rather than cultivating brands rooted in original reporting and informed criticism, offloaded their music-centered outlets in search of quick profits. As social media platforms shifted what types of content would appear in front of users, the manual on what type of articles to publish each day was figuratively thrown out the window.

Those left behind to dust themselves off after sudden layoffs faced a path forward that seemed more uncertain than ever. Before the COVID-19 lockdowns, I had established myself as a writer and editor, moving up the ranks at Wide Open Country. After I opted to step away as Managing Editor, I dove head-first into the world of freelancing, writing for online outlets and print magazines I had loved since I was a young teen. I even earned my first bylines in Rolling Stone, achieving a life goal that always seemed like a pipe dream.

But since then, the music industry has changed dramatically. Although music journalism has never been a career path known for its stability or ease of breaking into, it has become more of a mystery than ever. I spent most of 2021-2023 desperately trying to hold onto the rare opportunities I had, investing countless hours of unpaid work in a desperate attempt to show my passion and determination. Still, that choice led to two sudden layoffs, leaving me in a state of exhaustion and frustration that is still hard to describe.

When I decided to move forward with my years-long pipe dream of starting my own online music magazine, I did so with a frantic determination that felt like my life depended on it. Because for me, it felt like it did.

I knew that I wanted to write about music from the age of 14 when I became hypnotized by the then-burgeoning music blog ecosystem, along with the imported music magazines like Q and NME, that I would eagerly seek out during trips to Barnes & Noble or Virgin Records. In college, I considered other, more sensible career options easily attainable with my in-progress communications degree. But when I managed to snag a coveted post-college internship at NPR Music, where I sat beside the now-iconic Tiny Desk, I knew music journalism was the only realm where I belonged.
So, it only makes sense that over the past two years, as my beloved career and art form seemed to be continuously dismantled to line the pockets of journalistically clueless tech bros, I would feel like I no longer knew what path lay ahead for me—or if there was even one left at all.

I spent most of 2024 desperately wanting to pursue my dream of building a new breed of online music magazine that returned to the old principles of quality over quantity. I had the tools and time available, and the support of my friends and family, but things never came together the way I had hoped. Even after the soft launch of Barnburner in the summer of 2024, which should have been a moment of triumph and celebration, I felt like a bigger failure than ever.

It took a few months for me to realize that my struggles had evolved from minor issues, like being unable to keep up with my overflowing inbox, to not being physically able to get out of bed. The fear of letting everyone down, of failing to bring my dreams to life, along with the realization that I had spent a massive chunk of my life sacrificing my time and mental health for someone else’s gain weighed on me like an anvil. I stopped posting on social media, stopped answering text messages and calls, stopped going to concerts and events, and retreated into my own bubble.

Thankfully, with the help of my loved ones, self-care, and prescribed medications, I’ve climbed my way out of that dark cave. I again feel inspired and excited about the opportunity to create a space that supports music journalism as a vital art form. Barnburner is a place to share music and stories from wide-ranging voices and perspectives. It’s a place for progression and inclusion, something that is desperately needed at a time when America’s political state is becoming more egregious by the day.

If you’ve followed me on social media since 2020, you’ll know that I am not the type of person to stay silent on issues I care about. As founder and Editor-In-Chief, my goal is to build a platform that spotlights and uplifts artists. I have spent years working to help cultivate a safe and inclusive space within the music industry, specifically country, and Americana, and Barnburner exists as an expansion of that mission.

Barnburner exists as an independent, multi-genre media outlet, which means we want to do a lot with the limited resources we have. Following this new start for Barnburner, my goal is to build a team of creative voices from diverse backgrounds and perspectives, offering a distinctly human approach at a time when artificial intelligence has helped strip music journalism of its soul.

If this speaks to you, I hope you keep reading. And if you like what you see, please consider supporting Barnburner with a one-time or monthly contribution. We have big dreams and goals — including future print editions, video content, and live events — but they can only be achieved with your help.

Thank you for being a part of this new chapter — and long live music journalism.

Willie Nelson Honors ‘King of the Roadies’ With New Documentary

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 08:05:00 +0000

A new documentary spotlights the seven-decade-long career of country music’s hardest-working right-hand man. Willie Nelson Presents: King of the Roadies tells the story of Ben Dorcy, known by many as Lovey, who has been described as “the first and oldest roadie who shaped music history.”

Directed by Amy Lee Nelson and Trevor Doyle Nelson, the film takes viewers through the personal challenges Dorcy faced in his early years, and how he became the go-to man behind the scenes for many of country music’s biggest stars, including Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson, among others. Waylon Jennings even penned a song in his honor, “Ode to Ben,” reinforcing Dorcy’s impact on those he worked alongside.

“It’s one thing to have a bunch of good ideas, but to make them work and to put them into action, you need someone like Ben to do it, and he never failed,” shares Willie Nelson, who shared a long, close friendship with the fellow Texan up until Dorcy’s death in 2017.

“Ben has a shared legacy with all the artists he worked with because he was able to help them create their legacy,” Amy Lee Nelson explains in a statement. “We want as many people as possible to get to know Lovey. I hope audiences come away with a deep appreciation for the folks working behind the scenes in all the ways we don’t usually think about. Let us consider and appreciate the folks who chose vocations where, when they’re really good at their job, they go largely unnoticed.”

On April 27, Willie Nelson Presents: King of the Roadies will make its world premiere at the Texas Theater during the 2025 Dallas International Film Festival, which runs from April 25-May 1. Tickets for the festival, which includes over 120 film screenings along with special Q&A sessions and panels, will go on sale to the general public on Monday, April 7. You can find more information on the event and explore ticketing options by visiting the Dallas International Film Festival’s official website.

Lord Huron Question What Could Have Been in ‘Nothing I Need’

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 07:15:00 +0000

Lord Huron returns with their second new single of 2025, offering another hint at a possible follow-up to their 2021 LP, Long Lost. Released on Friday (March 28), “Nothing I Need” offers a dreamy, country-tinged soundscape that amplifies the song’s wistful, questioning lyrics.

In a statement, frontman Ben Schneider says the song “wonders if it’s possible — within the short time you’ve got — to ever truly know what you want, if it’s worthwhile wanting anything at all, and if there’s any point in pondering what’s down the roads you didn’t take.”

“I fell in deep whеn you fell out of love with me / Now I got everything I want and I got nothing that I need,” Schneider reflects frustratedly in the track’s chugging chorus. “If I believe, will you fall back in love with me? Now I got everything I want and I got nothing that I need / I got everything I want, and I got nothing that I need.”

Mercury Records

“Nothing I Need” arrives just weeks after the surprise release of the punchy rock-centered track “Who Laughs Last?” featuring Kristen Stewart. Although the band hasn’t yet confirmed a new full-length release is in the works, we’re keeping our fingers crossed.

Later this month, Lord Huron will hit the road for their sold-out U.S. tour celebrating the 10th anniversary of their stunning sophomore album, Strange Trails. They’ll keep the momentum rolling with a stretch of overseas dates before returning to the U.S. to perform the largest headlining shows of their career.

Mark Ronson to Release New Memoir ‘Night People: How To Be a DJ in ’90s New York City’

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 06:31:40 +0000

Mark Ronson will reexamine a pivotal chapter of his expansive musical career with his upcoming memoir. Set for release on Sept. 16 via Grand Central Publishing, Night People: How To Be a DJ In ’90s New York City finds the multi-talented 49-year-old reflecting on the years spent building his reputation within in the club scene while attending New York University.

Although most know Ronson best for his production work, including his close creative collaborations with the late Amy Winehouse, the 8-time Grammy Award winner says his time in New York City acts as the foundation for his later musical works.

“DJing in ’90s New York City informed everything I ever did after, becoming the foundation for all my future work and creativity,” Ronson shares in a statement. “In Night People, I wanted to capture that transformative period of my life and celebrate three of my great loves: the art of DJing, the thrilling energy of New York City after dark, and the wild and wonderful characters who populated our world and became my second family. This book is my love letter to a vanished era that shaped not just my career but my identity — a time when finding my craft put me on the path to finding myself.”

Grand Central Publishing

“With Night People, Mark Ronson proves himself to be not only the hitmaker of a generation but a gifted writer,” publisher Zennor Compton adds. “Ronson writes about ‘90s New York City in such a vivid way that you feel as if you’re partying right there beside him.

“This is a book about a place, a time, a scene but it’s also Ronson’s origin story – a hugely personal account of the events and characters that made him who he is today,” he continues. “His musical passion and expertise is woven through every page of this memoir. We’re incredibly excited to be publishing Night People, which we know is destined to become a classic music memoir.”

Night People: How To Be a DJ In ’90s New York City is available for pre-order now.

Meet the New Fab Four: Sony Reveals Cast for Beatles Biopics

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 05:18:27 +0000

An ambitious new project by famed filmmaker Sam Mendes will tell the story of The Beatles in a brand new way. The upcoming project, comprised of four intersecting films focused on each individual member’s life, will feature four of modern Hollywood’s most buzzed-about actors taking on the roles of John, Paul, George, and Ringo.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Mendes shared new details of the project—titled The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event—during a surprise appearance during the first day of CinemaCon in Las Vegas. After months of rumors, he confirmed speculation about what actors had signed on to portray the rock and roll legends.

If you’ve been tuned into pop culture over the past few years, you may be surprised at how recognizable the cast list is. Gladiator II’s Paul Mescal will play the role of Paul McCartney, Saltburn’s Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr, Babygirl actor Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, and fellow Gladiator II and Stranger Things star Joseph Quinn will portray George Harrison.

It’s a roster thoughtfully built to appeal to younger audiences already familiar with the four established actors, which may spark some skepticism from devoted Beatles fans. It’s important to note that all four films have been approved by the band and have full clearance to use the Beatles music for the project.

Although additional details about the project are still scarce, all four films are currently scheduled to be released in April 2028, an intentional move Mendes reportedly cited as the “first binge-able theatrical experience.”

Mendes also explained the decision to split the project into four individual films was also made as “a chance to understand them more deeply,” according to Variety.

The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event is a film by Neal Street Productions in association with Apple Corps for Sony Pictures. Mendes will serve as producer, alongside Pippa Harris, Julie Pastor, and Alexandra Derbyshire.

The Swell Season Come Full Circle With ‘People We Used to Be’

Lorie Liebig — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 15:05:00 +0000

With their first new track since 2023, The Swell Season is kicking off a new creative chapter while paying homage to their past. Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová joined forces with producer Sturla Mio Thorisson at Iceland’s Masterkey Studios to craft their haunting new single, “People We Used to Be.”

“It’s a song about trying to reconcile with what feels like an end of an era and allowing one’s self to mourn the People We Used To Be while choosing to fight for the person we love and the life we built with them,” Irglová says of the song in a statement. “It is a song of defiance and determination as much as heart-aching nostalgia.”

“I will not stand by and watch this fire / Burn down everything we worked so hard to build,” they declare harmoniously in the track’s sweeping chorus. “If you keep willing those flames to go higher / You know they will.”

In the track’s music video, viewers are shown a collage of clips capturing an array of moments shared between the two, from a street busking session to intimate live performances. It’s a bittersweet and nostalgic callback to Once, the acclaimed 2007 film starring Hansard and Irglová as struggling musicians who form a special connection through song.

While fans await confirmation of more new music in the works, Hansard and Irglová will spend the coming months on the road, traveling across the U.K. and Europe before kicking off the North American leg of their tour in Vienna, Va. on July 11. A complete list of the duo’s upcoming live shows can be found below. You can find more information on the tour and ticketing options by visiting The Swell Season’s official website.

2025 Academy of Country Music Awards Nominees: See the Full List

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 27 Mar 2025 22:26:00 +0000

This year marks the 60th annual Academy of Country Music Awards, which honors both established artists and rising stars. This year’s batch of nominees, revealed today (March 27), offers a roster of acts who dominated mainstream country music in recent months.

Newcomer Ella Langley earned the most nominations, earning a place in 8 categories thanks to her breakout collaboration with Riley Green, “you look like you love me.” Their hit track earned nominations for Single of the Year, Song of the Year, Music Event of the Year, and Visual Media of the Year, helping Langley snag her spot in the coveted Female Artist of the Year and New Female Artist of the Year categories.

Other artists earning multiple nominations this year include Cody Johnson, Morgan Wallen, Chris Stapleton, and Lainey Wilson. Kelsea Ballerini is up for Entertainer of the Year for the first time in her career, propelled by the success of her 2024 album Patterns.

Fellow first-time nominee Shaboozey is up for Best New Male Artist and Single of the Year for his record-breaking No. 1 hit, “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” Zach Top, The Red Clay Strays, Muscadine Bloodline, Dasha, Gavin Adcock, Tucker Wetmore, and Treaty Oak Revival are also celebrating their first ACM Awards nominations this year.

Earlier this week, the Academy of Country Music revealed Lainey Wilson, Eric Church, and Blake Shelton as their first confirmed performers at this year’s ceremony. Additional acts and award presenters are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

Lady Gaga Will Return to Arenas With ‘The Mayhem Ball’ World Tour

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 27 Mar 2025 13:50:00 +0000

Pop superstar Lady Gaga is bringing the songs from her latest album, MAYHEM, to fans across North America, the U.K., and Europe later this year. The Grammy Award-winning artist has confirmed an extensive list of dates for The MAYHEM Ball tour, which kicks off on July 16 with the first of two shows in Las Vegas.

The long-awaited run of performances includes multiple nights in Seattle, New York City, Miami, and Toronto before closing her North American leg with two final nights in Chicago on September 15 and 17. A few days later, she’ll return to the stage for three nights at O2 Arena in London, beginning a stretch of overseas dates that stretches into late November.

Fans and critics alike have widely praised MAYHEM, citing its fresh take on the infectious, experimental dance-pop sound at the center of Lady Gaga’s debut album, The Fame, and her other early releases. With her upcoming tour, the 38-year-old talent says she opted for smaller-capacity venues as a way of bridging the gap between her and the audience.

“This is my first arena tour since 2018,” Lady Gaga shares. “There’s something electric about a stadium, and I love every moment of those shows. But with The MAYHEM Ball, I wanted to create a different kind of experience—something more intimate—closer, more connected—that lends itself to the live theatrical art I love to create.”

A complete list of The MAYHEM Ball tour dates is below. Tickets for all North American dates will go on sale Thursday, April 3, at 12 p.m. local time. Fans can sign up now through Sunday, March 30, at 8 a.m. ET to access an artist-exclusive pre-sale for all U.S. and Canadian dates. Fans can find more information on the tour, including additional pre-sale opportunities and ticketing options, by visiting Lady Gaga’s official website.

Ani DiFranco Taps Hurray for the Riff Raff and Tune-Yards for Summer Tour Dates

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 26 Mar 2025 09:32:00 +0000

Accomplished poet, activist, and musician Ani DiFranco will hit the road for an additional slate of live shows promoting her 2024 album, Unprecedented Sh!t.

The new stretch of dates spans from late August to mid-September, with Hurray for the Riff Raff supporting the first nine dates, and Tune-Yards stepping in as the opening act on the four remaining tour stops.

“Nothing heals my soul like music. And more specifically – making music in the company of other badasses,” DiFranco shares in a statement. “What a total joy it’s gonna be to share the stage with both Hurray for the Riff Raff and Tune-Yards this summer! I couldn’t be looking forward to it more.”

“Ani gave me my first glimpse into what it might mean to spit fire, to sing like my life depended on it,” Tune-Yards’ Merrill Garbus reflects. “To be a joyful girl who was also allowed her rage. It means so much in this moment in history to be on these stages with her, to be part of this bitchin’ lineage with her, to spit fire together and together keep the fire burning bright.”

Lukas Nelson Leans Into Life’s Uncertainties in ‘Ain’t Done’

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 26 Mar 2025 03:45:00 +0000

Multi-talented musician and songwriter Lukas Nelson is gearing up to share his first solo album, featuring creative contributions from some very familiar faces. Set for release on June 20 via Sony Music Nashville, American Romance offers 12 fresh tracks, including the contemplative lead single, “Ain’t Done.”

An expert at morphing complicated emotions into simple, yet profoundly poetic lyrics, Nelson delivers a slow-rolling acknowledgment of a bittersweet fact: the only certainty in life is uncertainty.

“God ain’t done with you / Every time you win, every time you lose,” he declares in the song’s chorus. “There’s a guarantee with every evening sun / Nothing lasts and God ain’t done.”

“I went through this period of self-reflection and George Harrison’s song, ‘All Things Must Pass,’ was part of what got me through that moment,” Nelson shares, discussing the song’s inspiration in a statement. “It gave me that understanding that it’s not for us to know what comes next. Everything changes and nothing stays the same.”

Sony Music Nashville

Personal and artistic evolution seem to be pivotal themes within the songs of American Romance, which includes guest appearances from Stephen Wilson Jr. and Sierra Ferrell.

Shooter Jennings serves as producer on the project, with Anderson East providing production work on the track “Disappearing Light.” Sisters Chauntee and Monique Ross, better known as the celebrated duo SistaStrings, add their magic touch with cello and viola on “Montana.”

In addition, Nelson recruited an impressive roster of players for the record, including Matt Chamberlain (drums), Corey McCormick (bass), Marty Muse (dobro), Russ Pahl (pedal steel), Chris Powell (drums), Brian Whelan (acoustic guitar), and Eleanor Whitmore (fiddle).

It’s been over a decade since Nelson first made his own mark on the music scene with his band, Promise of the Real. Now, the seasoned 36-year-old artist is excited to start anew while paying homage to the journey that led him there.

“This album is the first chapter in a whole new era of my life as an artist,” Nelson reflects. “It’s a love story to the country that raised me. Diners and highways that carried me through the joy and pain that led to the music you hear now.”

Listen to “Ain’t Done” below:

Two of Texas’ most recognizable modern voices are teaming up for a must-see co-headlining tour this summer. Leon Bridges and Charley Crockett will embark on The Crooner & The Cowboy Tour, beginning with a previously confirmed June 5 stop at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.

Billy Strings Extends Headlining Tour Into Summer 2025

Bobbie Sawyer — Tue, 25 Mar 2025 20:33:48 +0000

Bluegrass superstar Billy Strings will continue his headlining tour through the summer, taking the stage in Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Fargo, N.D., and Bozeman, Mont. Strings will also make his first-ever tour stop in Canada with two nights at Vancouver’s Commodore Ballroom.

Before kicking off this new stretch of dates, Strings will make stops in St. Augustine, Fla. for three sold-out shows, along with shows in Tampa, Fla., Savannah, Ga., and Cary, N.C. Strings will also join Willie Nelson‘s Outlaw Music Festival Tour for a string of West Coast shows.

The tour is a well-earned victory lap for the “Dust in a Baggie” artist, who took home the trophy for Best Bluegrass Album for his record Live Vol. 1 at the 67th annual Grammy Awards earlier this year. The album featured live recordings from performances at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, Austin’s Moody Center, and Paris La Cigale, among others.

The Michigan-born artist released his debut major label studio album—the 20-song, Jon Brion-produced triumph, Highway Prayers, in 2024—though his previous Rounder Records releases had already earned him scores of fans. Highway Prayers is the first bluegrass album in 22 years to become the top-selling album across all genres.

The 32-year-old singer-songwriter, guitarist, and banjo player has already racked up an impressive amount of accolades, including the title of Artist of the Year at the 2023 and 2022 Americana Music Awards and Entertainer of the Year at the 2023, 2022 and 2021 International Bluegrass Music Awards.

Strings also appears on Post Malone‘s 2024 country album F-1 Trillion.

Fans can snag tickets for the new dates, which are listed below, beginning this Friday, March 28 at 10 a.m. local time. You can find more details on the tour and ticketing options by visiting Billy Strings’ official website.

Billy Strings’ Summer 2025 Tour Dates:

August 8 – Milwaukee, Wisc. @ Fiserv Forum
August 9 – Minneapolis, Minn. @ Target Center

Maren Morris Confirms Fourth Studio Album ‘Dreamsicle’

Bobbie Sawyer — Tue, 25 Mar 2025 20:05:52 +0000

Maren Morris has announced her fourth studio album, Dreamsicle. The follow-up to Morris’ 2022 album Humble Quest, the 14-track LP will be released on May 9 via Columbia Records, with its lead single, “Carry Me Through,” set to drop on March 27.

Morris also revealed the album’s cover image, which features a close-up shot of the “My Church” singer holding a drink garnished with a lemon wedge.

The Grammy Award-winner has recently teased the announcement, wiping her Instagram and sharing two black and white videos.

Morris shared the inspiration for Dreamsicle in a message to fans.

“My fourth studio album, Dreamsicle, takes place in the aftermath of loosening my grip on my personal and professional life,” the “Girl” singer wrote. “Sweeping through the pits of grief, but never staying too long, and finding the joy in knowing that at my core, I’m still who I am — and that’s pretty f*cking great.”

Though her last full-length album was released in 2022, Morris hasn’t kept fans waiting for new music. Last August, she released the EP Intermission, which included “Push Me Over,” which Morris released shortly after coming out as bisexual during Pride Month in June of 2024, writing “Happy to be the B in LGBTQ+ happy pride.”

“I didn’t ever feel before that I had the courage to say that, and it was something that I knew for decades, but I think it was just the timing of: I’m in a space to say this without anything really getting misconstrued, and it’s Pride Month,” Morris told People.

“Push Me Over” is also featured on Dreamsicle, along with the Julia Michaels collaboration “Cut!”

The Texas-born Morris released her major label debut album Hero in 2016.

Maren Morris, Dreamsicle Track List:

“Lemonade”
“People Still Show Up”
“Cry in the Car”
“Cut!”
“Bed No Breakfast”
“Dreamsicle”
“I Hope I Never Fall in Love”
“Too Good”
“Push Me Over”
“Because, Of Course”
“Grand Bouquet”
“This is How a Woman Leaves”
“Carry Me Through”
“Holy Smoke”

2025 Country Music Hall of Fame Inductees Revealed

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 25 Mar 2025 18:00:00 +0000

The Country Music Hall of Fame has revealed this year’s trio of inductees during a special ceremony today (March 25) in Nashville. Accomplished singer-songwriter and Hall of Fame member Vince Gill was on hand to announce the honors, which are separated into three categories: Non-Performer, Modern Era Artist, and Veterans Era Artist.

Tony Brown, best known for work as producer on 20 of George Strait’s albums, was selected in this year’s Non-Performer category. A former member of Emmylou Harris’s Hot Band and The Oak Ridge Boys’ backing band, The Mighty Oaks Band, Brown is a six-time Grammy Award winner. Along with his lengthy list of production credits with Strait, Brown has helped craft the sound of acclaimed records by Steve Earle, Rodney Crowell, Wynonna Judd, and Reba McEntire.

“When you’re producing No.1 records, you feel like you know what you’re doing,” Brown shared in a statement. “But being inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame — especially for someone as idealistic as me —makes it feel like you’ve truly made an impact. And that has always been my goal.”

This year’s Modern Era Artist selection was Kenny Chesney, who has earned a lengthy list of career accomplishments since earning his first No. 1 hit with “She’s Got It All” in 1997. The Tennessee native has broken multiple attendance records with his relentless touring schedule, released 20 studio albums, and sold over 30 million records globally.

“You don’t dare dream of being in the Country Music Hall of Fame, alongside legends including George Jones, Willie Nelson, Alabama, even Dean Dillon,” says Chesney. “I’ve been lucky enough to get to call them my friends, and that was plenty. But hearing the news I’d been voted into the Hall, I can honestly say beyond my wildest dreams, it’s an honor that defies words. I am humbled, grateful, honored…as much for all the songwriters, musicians, artists, and people who’ve helped me build my career; they have truly inspired me every single day.”

The Veterans Era Artist inductee for 2025 will be posthumously presented to June Carter Cash, who made her mark on the genre at an early age as a member of the musically talented Carter family. After finding fame on the radio alongside her relatives, Cash set out to pave a path all her own, embracing the art of acting while crafting a solo music career. Although many know he best as Johnny Cash’s other half, her individual impact on country music is widespread and all-too-often overlooked.

“June Carter Cash represents the whole cloth of Country Music, its breadth and heritage,” the Cash family writes in a statement. “And June’s place in Country Music is undeniable. From the 1940s, across the decades, and into the current century, her voice has been heard across the country and throughout much of the world, both with Mother Maybelle Carter, sisters Helen and Anita, and on her own, as well as with her duet partners, including her beloved Johnny Cash, with whom she told stories and inspired musicians both past, present, and future.

“She was a loving wife and mother, an actress, singer, songwriter, comedienne, and a truly gifted performer whose persona was never exactly what was expected but was always and totally June,” the statement continues. “She profoundly respected, and was respected for, her craft, and that endures to this day. We, the Carter and Cash families, are most grateful and proud that the County Music Association has given June this well-deserved honor for her undeniable contribution to the fabric of Country Music and American culture.”

All three honorees will be formally inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame during a private medallion ceremony later this year. John Anderson, James Burton, and Toby Keith were selected as the Country Music Hall of Fame’s 2024 class and officially inducted in October 2024.

Lainey Wilson Among First Round of Confirmed 2025 ACM Awards Performers

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 25 Mar 2025 03:09:11 +0000

The Academy of Country Music has revealed the first batch of artists set to take the stage during this year’s award ceremony. Lainey Wilson, Eric Church, and Blake Shelton are among the acts who will perform at the 60th annual ACM Awards, which are set for May 8.

Wilson, who won the coveted title of Entertainer of the Year at last year’s awards, will return to perform a still-to-be-revealed track. Church will also mark the start of a new career chapter with his performance, which will arrive just one week after the release of his upcoming album, Evangeline Vs. The Machine. Shelton will also appear during a transitional period, sparked by his recent move to BBR Music Group’s Wheelhouse Records and the arrival of his current single, “Texas.”

The trio of country stars will join Reba McEntire, who will return as host for the sixteenth time, on stage at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas for the special celebration. This year’s group of nominees will be revealed this Thursday, March 27, and additional performers are set to be announced in the coming weeks.

For a limited time, fans who want to experience the 60th annual ACM Awards in person can snag tickets to the event via SeatGeek. Otherwise, viewers can stream the awards live exclusively via Amazon Prime Video and the Amazon Music channel on Twitch, beginning on May 8, 2025, at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT.

Lorie Liebig — Fri, 07 Mar 2025 23:22:13 +0000

Acclaimed musicians Sarah Jarosz, Aoife O’Donovan, and Sara Watkins have reunited as folk supergroup I’m With Her and are sharing details of their long-awaited sophomore album. “Ancient Light,” the lead single off the trio’s upcoming LP Wild and Clear and Blue, is a sunny and contemplative peek into their latest creative chapter.

With Jarosz at the helm on vocals, “Ancient Light” ruminates on life’s cyclical patterns and the importance of moving ahead, even through the darkest times.

“In the dark, I’m gathering / While everything’s unraveling, I’m building a fire,’ she declares poetically. “Sparks and smoke rings fill up the night / When it catches I’ll be swimming in the ancient light.”

“We started playing around with this riff in a Silverlake bungalow in October of 2022,” the band shares in a statement. “We were still at the beginning of writing this album, and as these images of joyful melancholy floated towards us, we found ourselves reaching for them in a free-flowing way that felt wholly new to us, yet completely natural.

“This song is a journey, and (producer) Josh Kaufman encouraged us to open the song up and let it breathe,” they continue. “‘Ancient Light’ sets the tone for the entire album, communing with our past and future selves.”

Set for release on May 9 via Rounder Records, Wild and Clear and Blue features 11 new tracks produced by Bonny Light Horseman‘s Josh Kaufman. Fans can expect to hear an intricately layered, expanded soundscape that spotlights the trio’s flawless harmonies and poetic lyricism that listeners already know and love.

Elton John and Brandi Carlile Hit a Home Run with ‘Swing for the Fences’

Lorie Liebig — Fri, 07 Mar 2025 22:47:31 +0000

Powerhouse artists Elton John and Brandi Carlile have delivered another enthralling preview of their upcoming collaborative album, Who Believes In Angels? The pair’s new single, “Swing for the Fences,” delivers a hopeful, timely message, reminding us to be bold and authentically ourselves without apologies.

“Go on and swing for the fences / Oh yeah, take a shot at the moon,” John and Carlile joyfully proclaim. “A dandelion that dances takes chances and fancies every little light in the room.”

“Swing for the Fences’ was a little gem I took into the studio with me,” Carlile shares of the song in a statement. “I’m a gay woman, Elton’s a gay man and we both have families, and our dreams have come true. I was thinking, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool to write an anthem for young gay kids out there that calls them into a bigger, more elegant, more fabulous life? Just like, ‘Go, go! Don’t let anything hold you back!’.”

“When we recorded ‘Swing for the Fences,’ it was the moment that crystallized where the album was going,” John adds. “It was hard to get to that point, but we knew we had to rise to the occasion and we all just felt this massive sense of joy and euphoria. After our initial difficulties, all the uncertainties started to dissipate when this song came together. It just sounded great.”

Set for release on April 4 via Interscope Records, Who Believes In Angels? is the result of a 20-day-long music-making challenge spearheaded by award-winning songwriter and producer Andrew Watt. John and Carlile worked alongside Watt and John’s longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin to craft the joint album, which pushed the two accomplished artists and longtime friends to new creative heights.

Listen to “Swing for the Fences” below:

Elton John and Brandi Carlile, Who Believes In Angels? Track List:

This year looks to be no exception, with an extensive list of special pressings from rising stars and established hitmakers that span a range of genres. To help make your Record Store Day 2025 a bit easier, we’ve selected five special releases every country fan should add to their collections.

1. Spyboy, Emmylou Harris

Travel back in time with this new collection of live recordings from legendary singer-songwriter Emmylou Harris, accompanied by her stellar backing band, Spyboy. Buddy Miller, Daryl Johnson, and Brady Blade help bring tracks from Harris’s stellar 1995 LP Wrecking Ball to life, along with beloved older cuts like “Boulder to Birmingham” and “Love Hurts.”

2. Man of Constant Sorrow, Ralph Stanley & Friends

Pressed on “Coke Bottle Clear” vinyl, this collection of trademark tracks from the late Ralph Stanley offers an array of new musical perspectives. Dierks Bentley, Elvis Costello, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, Robert Plant, and Del McCoury are just a few of the special guests who put their own spin on these Stanley standards.

3. Stand Still Look Pretty, The Wreckers

In 2006, Michelle Branch and Jessica Harp left a lasting mark on country music with the release of their debut album, Stand Still Look Pretty. Although the LP still stands as The Wreckers‘ only full-length release, the project spawned the No. 1 hit “Leave the Pieces,” which is still winning over listeners two decades later.

Anderson East Searches for Certainty In New Single ‘Say I Love You’

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 26 Feb 2025 02:48:27 +0000

Anderson East is back with his first new record in four years, marking the start of an intriguing new career chapter. With his lead single, “Say I Love You,” the genre-meshing musician, lyricist, and producer channels the exhilaration and uncertainty of a passionate romance.

“Let me hear you say I love you,” East passionately pleads. “Say it now so all the world feels right / If all of our tomorrow’s ended / I wanna hear you say it one more time.”

“Say I Love You” is the lead single off East’s upcoming sixth album and first LP since inking a deal with Rounder Records. Set for release on May 30, Worthy delivers 10 new tracks co-produced by East and longtime creative cohort Dave Cobb.

In contrast to his impressive 2021 record, Maybe We Never Die, which was creative in the depths of COVID-19 lockdown, Worthy grew out of close collaboration with longtime friends. Natalie Hemby, Lori McKenna, Ashley Monroe, Trent Dabbs, and Aaron Raitiere are among the celebrated songwriters who helped craft East’s newest batch of bold, captivating tracks.

Rounder Records

Although Worthy promises to spotlight East’s musical evolution and growth, the unfiltered emotion and retro Muscle Shoals-rooted groove at the heart of tracks like “Say I Love You” manage to feel both fresh and familiar.

Additional information about the record and 2025 tour dates are expected to be shared in the weeks to come. A limited amount of limited edition vinyl pressings and merch bundles are available for pre-order via Anderson East’s official website.

Watch the official performance video for “Say I Love You,” filmed live at Nashville’s East Iris Studios, below:

Nathaniel Rateliff and Gregory Alan Isakov Share Sweeping New Duet ‘Flowers’

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 26 Feb 2025 00:41:54 +0000

Talented singer-songwriters and longtime friends Nathaniel Rateliff and Gregory Alan Isakov have shared a captivating new collaboration that’s been years in the making. Released on Monday (February 24), “Flowers” is a reflective, stirring duet given new life by the multi-talented pair.

Although it was initially penned during the creative process of crafting Rateliff’s 2020 solo album, And It’s Still Alright, it took nearly five years for “Flowers” to find completion. During a moment of inspiration, Rateliff and Isakov recently revisited the tune, resulting in a sparse yet intimate soundscape that allows both talent’s vocals to take the spotlight.

Stax Records

“In the moment, because so much time had passed, it was hard to remember who had written what – our words becoming each other’s,” Rateliff shares in a statement. “Now, listening back, I remember lines Gregory offered and others I did, but it truly is a work of us together, as one.”

“My longtime friend Nathaniel Rateliff brought some pieces of a song by the farm a little while back and we finished it and tracked it late that night,” adds Isakov. “We ran around the studio tracking instruments and ideas thinking we might re-track it all later, but just loved how the first take came out. Hope you love it as much as we do.”

The release of “Flowers” comes as Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats continue their ongoing South of Here Tour, which features Isakov as support on multiple dates. You can find more information about the band’s arena tour, along with ticketing options, by visiting their official website.

Goose Try to Seize the Moment In New Single ‘Lead Up’

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 25 Feb 2025 20:05:00 +0000

Known as one of modern rock’s most intriguing jam bands, Goose is back with a brand new single from their upcoming fourth studio album, Everything Must Go. Released today (February 25), “Lead Up” is a trippy, melancholy-drenched cut dripping with an especially anxious type of nostalgia.

“The record is a collection — of songs, of characters, and of different places and times in our lives,” guitarist Rick Mitarotonda shares of the song in a statement. “It was a way for me to explore feelings that I didn’t really understand at the time. Sometimes as you get older it becomes valuable reflecting on things from that time in your life, and how pure and unadulterated expressions can be then.“

The questioning track, which grew into its final form from a song Mitarotonda penned as a young teen, builds into a haunting yet gripping crescendo.

“Often times we worry about the things we waste / Leading up to this and we tend to miss / Make it all so, take it all away,” he pleads in the track’s reflective, bittersweet chorus. “It seems there’s so much to this / I wish I could take it all away.”

Everything Must Go Album Artwork by Brian Blomerth

Set for release on April 25 via No Coincidence Records, Everything Must Go serves as the band’s first new full-length LP in nearly three years. They recruited D. James Goodwin to produce, returning to the same role he held for their celebrated 2022 record, Dripfield. Through its 14 tracks, Everything Must Go takes listeners through many moments and chapters of Goose’s creative journey so far.

“As we were experiencing a significant change in the lives of the band, as well as reflecting on the multitude of fast past changes unfolding around all of us constantly, the title continued to take on many layers of meaning throughout the process,” explains Mitarotonda. “The idea was to throw everything at this project. To wipe the slate clean.”

Goose will be on the road supporting Everything Must Go through the summer, with headlining dates and festival appearances scheduled throughout the U.S. You can find the band’s complete touring schedule, along with ticketing information, by visiting Goose’s official website.

Amy Millan Previews Long-Awaited Solo Album With ‘Wire Walks’

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 25 Feb 2025 17:38:00 +0000

You may know her best as a member of Broken Social Scene or as the co-founder of Stars, but Amy Millan is ready to reintroduce herself. For the first time in more than 15 years, the indie rock stalwart is gearing up to release a brand new album of solo material.

Set for release on May 30 via Last Gang Records, I Went to Find You promises to be another captivating collection of songs from the multi-talented artist. The record’s slow-grooving lead single, “Wire walks,” highlights Millan’s pristinely effortless vocals and clever lyricism.

“I reference Stars’ ‘Ageless Beauty’ here with the lyric ‘I lied when I said that time would catch your head,'” Millan shares in a statement. “I thought when I was younger time would mend all wounds, but I was wrong, it does not. Turns out they stick around! So what I have learned with my sage years is to stop trying to dodge and outrun the hard feelings. Embrace the difficult bits, the footprint that made me what I am. When outrunning isn’t working, I might need to lean into what I’ve always been.”

“When I’m walking on a wire / Slightly bent without an anchor,” Millan sings. “Could I come down without a fall? / Catching clues of what I’m here for?”

Last Gang Records

“Wire walks” offers listeners an early glimpse into the soundscape of I Went to Find You, which Millan describes as a collection of “gentle songs for difficult times.” Crafted alongside co-writer and producer Jay McCarrol, the 9-track LP explores the gamot of complicated and unpredictable challenges that live can throw your way.

“When I look back at all the songs I’ve ever written, there’s a lot of moments where I’m expressing sadness about a lost love when really there’s a much greater loss at the core,” says Millan. “This record felt like the first time I was able to address that loss without clouding it all in lyrics about boys and whiskey.”

For the “Wire walks” music video, Millan tapped AOK as producer, along with Luca Tarantini and Jonah Armitage to bring her unique, retro-inspired creative vision to life.

“I wanted to create a dreamscape, a world that doesn’t exist,” explains Millan. “Wires and ghosts that come alive. Crystal visions and whimsical characters that dance in melting corridors. Luca helped make that vintage vision come to life with new technologies and movements with the song itself.”

Marlon Williams Recruits Lorde for New Single ‘Kāhore He Manu E’

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 25 Feb 2025 16:01:00 +0000

New Zealand singer-songwriter Marlon Williams has shared another intriguing cut from his upcoming album, Te Whare Tīwekaweka. His latest track, “Kāhore He Manu E,” features guest vocals from friend and creative collaborator, Ella Yelich-O’Connor—better known as Lorde.

Cameras captured the recording process of the song, which is one of 14 tracks on Te Whare Tīwekaweka, which is Williams’ first Māori language album. It took five years to complete the record, which helped the multi-talented 34-year-old connect with his roots in a new, deeper way.

The richly emotive “Kāhore He Manu E” is propelled forward by gentle piano, intertwined with the pair’s raw and powerful vocals.

“‘Kāhore He Manu E’ was one of those gentle labours,” Williams shares in a statement. “It played itself out to me, easily and near complete from the first. It was also obvious who should be singing it; Ella’s voice in a very real sense wrote the song. The distinct and striking characteristics in her voice cornering and demanding of the melody and phrasing what onlyher voice could. Singing with Ella is incredible; the amount of mind she’s able to pour into the vessel. We got to know each other through sharing the highs and lows of touring life, and in a real sense this song is an ode to the colourful but grim wormhole of road life, to the friends made and lost in the folds of time, ‘visions lost in the blur.’”

“Over the course of several years I watched Marlon pull at the threads that became Te Whare Tīwekaweka,” adds Lorde. “I saw that the further he got into the album, the deeper my friend came to know himself, his whānau, and his world at large. Marlon is an undercover perfectionist, and he was never going to embark on this journey without turning over every stone, crafting complex waiata that speak to the past while also braiding in his characteristic humour and X-ray vision.

“Singing with Marlon is one of my favourite things to do on earth, whether we are tipsy backstage by a pool table or in a luscious studio, and I was honoured he asked me to sing with him on this album,” she continues. “I’m so proud of my friend.”

Watch the official music video for “Kāhore He Manu E” below:

Marlon Williams, Te Whare Tīwekaweka Track List:

“E Mawehe Ana Au”
“Kei Te Mārama”
“Aua Atu Rā”

Mark Hoppus Unveils Book Tour for Upcoming Memoir ‘Fahrenheit-182’

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 20 Feb 2025 03:58:58 +0000

Mark Hoppus is hitting the road this spring for a special tour in support of his upcoming memoir, Fahrenheit-182. The co-founding member of beloved pop-punk outfit Blink-182 will visit seven U.S. cities to discuss the book, including Chicago, Washington D.C., and Los Angeles.

Co-written with music journalist Dan Ozzi, Fahrenheit-182 is described as the detailed “story of what happens when an angst-ridden kid who grew up in the desert experiences his parents’ bitter divorce, moves around the country, switches identities from dork to goth to skate punk, and eventually meets his best friend who just so happens to be his musical soulmate.”

The book promises personal details and reflections on the talented 52-year-old’s rise to fame alongside bandmates Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker. Hoppus also reflects on his own experiences with anxiety and the difficulties of fighting cancer while in the public eye.

When Hoppus announced the project in September 2024, he posted a playful promo video on his social media pages. In it, he energetically promises readers that the book “has everything” and tells the story of a young California native who “joins a punk rock band and goes on to conquer the world,” and then shares one final warning: “This shit gets dark.”

Fahrenheit-182 is set for release on April 8 and is now available for pre-order via HarperCollins. A complete list of the newly announced book tour stops is listed below. Tickets for all dates, which include a copy of Fahrenheit-182 with purchase, will go on sale this Friday, February 21, via Ticketmaster.

Mark Hoppus’ Fahrenheit-182 Book Tour Dates:

April 9 – Brooklyn, N.Y. @ Brooklyn Paramount
April 10 – Somerville, Mass. @ Somerville Theatre
April 12 – Washington D.C. @ 9:30 Club
April 13 – Philadelphia, Pa. @ The Fillmore
April 16 – Chicago, Ill. @ Park West

The Fray Plots ‘How to Save a Life’ 20th Anniversary World Tour

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 20 Feb 2025 01:36:00 +0000

It has been two decades since The Fray broke into the mainstream with their heartfelt hit debut album, How to Save a Life. Later this year, the accomplished pop-rock group will celebrate this special career anniversary with an extensive international tour.

On Tuesday (February 18), the band revealed plans to embark on their How to Save a Life: The 20th Anniversary Tour, which will kick off on July 25 in Dallas. The lengthy set of dates stretches across the U.S. and includes stops in Nashville, Boston, Chicago, and Los Angeles through the end of the summer.

After a brief break, lead vocalist Joe King, guitarist Dave Welsh, and drummer Ben Wysocki will head overseas for 14 more show dates, wrapping up their anniversary celebration on November 22 in Dublin.

Los Angeles rock group The Strike will serve as direct support for all U.S. headlining shows, with Landon Barker appearing on select dates. The opening acts for all international performances are still to be announced.

Released on September 15, 2005, How to Save a Life spawned two international hit singles—”Over My Head (Cable Car)” and “How to Save a Life”—and earned double-platinum certification from the RIAA.

“We wrote songs in our parents’ basements and our grandpa’s barn, dreaming of playing our music with the world one day. We never imagined that the songs from How to Save a Life would still hold new meaning 20 years later,” lead vocalist Joe King shares in a statement. “It’s an incredible honor to celebrate the album’s 20th anniversary on tour this summer. We can’t wait to perform these songs and share their stories with you. Come sing with us—we’ll see you soon!”

Dierks Bentley Confirms 2025 Broken Branches Tour

As fans eagerly await news about a new studio album possibly coming soon from Dierks Bentley, the accomplished musician and singer-songwriter has added more fuel to the fire. Today (February 17), he confirmed an extensive set of headlining shows that will kick off this spring.

Beginning on May 29 in Austin, Bentley will visit amphitheaters, arenas, and other large venues across the U.S. through the end of August. He’s tapped burgeoning country artist Zach Top and The Band Loula, a Georgia-based duo recently signed to Warner Music, as support for all currently announced dates.

“I’m 20(ish) years into doing this, and I’ve seriously never been more excited about a tour,” Bentley shares in a statement. “We had Zach out for a few shows last summer, and I knew right away that we had to do more together. He loves the same kind of country music I do, and he’s got the bluegrass chops to hang with the best of ‘em in a jam. I’ve got a million ideas for the setlist rolling around in my head. It’ll be fun to figure out how to make it all come to life with a new album and new production.”

Lady Gaga Confirms New Album ‘Mayhem’

Lorie Liebig — Mon, 27 Jan 2025 22:42:13 +0000

After months of speculation from eager fans, pop hitmaker Lady Gaga has confirmed she has a brand new album on the way. Today (Jan. 27), she shared details of her seventh studio album, Mayhem, set for release on March 7 via Interscope Records.

The project promises fans a return to the punchy, stylish pop sound that dominated her early releases, catapulting her into stardom. According to a release, the record will explore “themes of chaos and transformation, celebrating music’s power to unite, provoke, and heal.”

“The album started as me facing my fear of returning to the pop music my earliest fans loved,” Lady Gaga shared of her upcoming LP. She also described the creative process that led to Mayhem as one “reassembling a shattered mirror: even if you can’t put the pieces back together perfectly, you can create something beautiful and whole in its own new way.”

Although the track list has not yet been released, the multitalented artist revealed Mayhem will be composed of 14 new tracks. The LP, which was executive produced by Gaga, Michael Polansky and Andrew Watt, will follow the release of her acclaimed 2024 single, “Disease.”

On Feb. 2, Lady Gaga will debut her still-unnamed next single and its accompanying music video in a commerical break during the 2025 Grammy Awards broadcast. Gaga is nominated in two categories this year for “Die With a Smile,” her recent hit collaboration with Bruno Mars. Fans can watch the ceremony live this Sunday beginning at 8:30 p.m. on CBS.

Liz Longley Ignites a New Spark In “Start Again”

Lorie Liebig — Fri, 22 Nov 2024 00:33:39 +0000

Introspective singer-songwriter Liz Longley tries to revive a deep-rooted relationship in her new single “Start Again.” Released today (Nov. 21), the slow-grooving track was penned by Longley and Issac Fox with production by Grammy Award winner Paul Moak.

Anchored by Longley’s warm, entrancing vocals, “Start Again” finds the celebrated musician and storyteller determined to rekindle romance that once burned brighter. Described as a “sister song” to “Torture,” a track from her acclaimed 2020 album Funeral For My Past, her latest single offers another peek into a new chapter of life that helped inspire her new creative work

“I feel like my brain split in half when I became a mom,” shares Longley. “Your world gets smaller, and you’re overwhelmed by every little moment. I dealt with a lot of postpartum depression and anxiety, so there was a lot of relearning how to do things with a new human around. A lot of that journey is what fed into these songs.”

“Start Again” is the latest in a recent string of intriguing singles from Longley, following the October release of her uplifting track “Wake You Up.” While we await details on a possible new LP in the works, fans have multiple chances to catch Longley out on the road in the coming months. She’ll be performing a mix of older favorites and new tracks, making stops in select U.S. cities through the end of the year. After a brief pause for the holidays, Longley will embark on an extensive trek across the country this spring, which includes live shows in Austin, Seattle, Los Angeles, New York City and her adopted hometown of Nashville.

You can find a list of upcoming tour dates below, and additional information on ticketing options by visiting Liz Longley’s official website.

Ringo Starr and Alison Krauss Embrace the Bright Side on “Thankful”

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 20 Nov 2024 01:23:46 +0000

Beloved musician, songwriter and Beatles drummer Ringo Starr is sharing another new track from his upcoming country project, Look Up. Released on Nov. 15, his heartfelt cut “Thankful” offers a timely message of appreciation for those who stand by us through the hardest of times.

Joined by fellow multi-talented artist Alison Krauss, Starr offers a mix of nostalgic classic country instrumentation with a sprinkling of sunny, retro psych-pop. The pair deliver an effortlessly dreamy vocal blend that can make even the most curmudgeonly listener start to feel starry-eyed.

“When you came along / My shelter from the storm,” he lovingly declares. “I put my life into your hands / and you made me a better man.”

“I love this track,” Starr shares of “Thankful” in a press release. “I wrote it with my producer and engineer Bruce Sugar, and I feel we put an L.A. country sound to it. For the lyrics, I always like to focus on the positive, and for this song in particular, about what we can be thankful for,” he adds. “I hope it brings you some joy and peace and love.”

“Thankful” is one of 11 new tracks featured on Look Up, which is set for release on Jan. 11, 2025. The 84-year-old rock and roll icon traveled to Nashville and Los Angeles to record the country-focused LP, which includes collaborations with Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, Larkin Poe and Lucius. T Bone Burnett, Daniel Tashian and Bruce Sugar co-produced Look Up, which is Starr’s first full-length country album in over 50 years.

Rockabella / UMG

“I’ve always loved country music,” reiterated Starr in a statement earlier this year. “When I asked T Bone to write me a song, I didn’t even think at the time that it would be a country song—but of course it was, and it was so beautiful. I had been making EPs at the time and so I thought we would do a country EP—but when he brought me nine songs, I knew we had to make an album! And I am so glad we did,” he continues. “I want to thank, and send Peace & Love, to T Bone and all the great musicians who helped make this record. It was a joy making it and I hope it is a joy to listen to.”

To mark the release of Look Up, Starr will perform at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on Jan. 14 and 15. Tickets for both performances are on sale now. You can find more information on upcoming live dates and ticketing options by visiting Ringo Starr’s official website.

Odie Leigh and Field Medic Serve Up New Duet “All Star Breakfast”

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 19 Nov 2024 22:02:00 +0000

Captivating singer-songwriter Odie Leigh and indie-folk favorite Field Medic create collective magic with their brand new single, “All Star Breakfast.” Released today (Nov. 19), the intimate yet playful collaboration offers a feeling of catharsis as the song’s characters search for bits of joy in the discomforts of daily life.

“It’s funny the way things seem to go / You spend all your wishing but in Christmas it don’t snow,” the pair contemplate in the track’s all-too-relatable chorus. “So when I get to thinking and my thinking’s quite the mess / I think us lonely people could make something out of this.”

“I wrote ‘All Star Breakfast’ 3 years ago in my trailer one night and kept it in my back pocket, hoping the right moment would come along to release it,” Leigh shares in a statement. “After a month of recording my album, Carrier Pigeon, with Derek Ted, we felt like it would be sweet to go back to a stripped, cute folksy vibe for a change. We had been hoping to find a song to collaborate with Kevin (Field Medic) on and knew this ancient track was the perfect choice.

Cutesy, simple, and poetic, it felt like the perfect classic duet,” she adds. “Kevin re-wrote a couple of verses and we recorded it together in an afternoon. We wanted to keep a backyard, old time-y feel to it, and I hope y’all find it as sweet as we do!”

“I met Odie for the first time when she came to meet up with my former roommate Derek Ted (who would go on to record and produce Odie’s record Carrier Pigeon),” Field Medic, a.k.a. Kevin Patrick Sullivan, reflects. “What struck me about her personality and music was how individual of a singer and writer she was. Hearing a new authentic voice playing the style of folk I’ve always loved made it a no brainer when she asked me to duet her song ‘All Star Breakfast.’ She had most of the song written, so after I shuffled a couple of words around in the verses that I’d be singing, we recorded it on the spot. It probably took an hour. I’m stoked that it’s finally coming out!”

“All Star Breakfast” serves as Leigh’s first single since the release of her captivating debut album, Carrier Pigeon, which arrived in July. She’ll wrap up a jam-packed year with a string of live shows across the U.S. through the end of December. You can find more information on her upcoming tour dates here.

Lauren Mayberry Confirms Debut Solo Album ‘Vicious Creature,’ 2025 Tour Dates

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 29 Oct 2024 19:21:04 +0000

CHVRCHES’ Lauren Mayberry has been teasing the release of her first full-length solo project via a string of stellar singles in recent months. Today (Oct. 29), she confirmed that her buzzed-about LP, Vicious Creature, is set for release on Dec. 6 via Island Records.

The 12-track album serves as a space for Mayberry to explore new sonic territory while examining the people and events that helped shape her. Along with a fresh and experimental soundscape, Vicious Creature promises an intimate look into her own perspectives on self-identity and nods to the women who inspired her along the way.

“So much of this process has been an exercise in empowering myself to listen to my own intuition – something I really trained myself out of,” Mayberry shares in a statement. “That’s ultimately why you start making things – because you felt a feeling, and you wanted to articulate that somehow. I think it was important for me to relearn that kind of independence, and recognize what I bring to any table I choose to sit at.”

Island Records

Her latest pre-release single, “Crocodile Tears,” was co-written by Mayberry, Matthew Koma, and Ethan Gruska. This bold 80s-inspired bop finds the multi-talented 37-year-old embodying “a sort of character where I could really let go of the idea that I need to be ‘nice,’ because I think that holds so many women back in their lives,” she explains. “If I didn’t have to be seen as ‘nice,’ I would feel comfortable telling certain people to fuck off when they treat me like shit – on this record, and in these songs, I get to do that.”

Next year, Mayberry will also embark on an extensive North American tour, which kicks off Jan. 28 in San Diego. She’ll take the stage in theaters and club venues across the U.S. and Canada, including stops in Chicago, Philadelphia, Toronto, Los Angeles, Austin, and Nashville. Fans can find a complete list of upcoming live dates, along with ticketing information, by visiting Lauren Mayberry’s official website.

Joy Oladokun Reveals 2025 ‘The Blackbird Tour’ Dates

Lorie Liebig — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 21:51:28 +0000

Multi-talented musician and songwriter Joy Oladokun has confirmed a lengthy North American headlining tour for 2025. Announced today (Sept. 30), The Blackbird Tour will take the acclaimed artist to cities across the U.S. and Canada early next year.

The trek will kick off on Jan. 16 with a performance in Minneapolis and will stop in 32 additional cities, including New York City, Austin, Seattle, and San Francisco. She’ll wrap things up with a noteworthy set at the world-renowned Ryman Auditorium in her adopted hometown of Nashville on March 27.

Oladokun’s latest set of live shows arrives ahead of Observations From a Crowded Room, her upcoming studio album, set for release on Oct. 18. Over the past few months, she’s shared four cuts from the 15-track LP, including her most recent single, “I’D MISS THE BIRDS.”

Oladokun, who will also serve as the opening act for multiple dates of Hozier’s Unreal/Unearth Tour this November, says her latest was born out of an intensive chapter of personal exploration. With Observations From a Crowded Room, the 32-year-old talent expands herself creatively more than ever before.

“This album became a way for me to write things, feel things, process things,” Oladokun shared in a statement. “Because, as the producer, I just had to sit with these songs for so long. It became really healing in a sense of, ‘I made this. I’m listening to an album that I genuinely love. All the sounds and bits and bobs came from me with the help of just an engineer.’ It was transformative. So, it started out as, ‘I quit,’ and it has ended up as a fresh start.”

A complete list of Oladokun’s newly announced tour dates is listed below. Fans can now register for entry into a special pre-sale set to begin tomorrow, Oct. 1, at 10 a.m. local time. A general on-sale will follow this Friday, Oct. 4, at 10 a.m. local time. $1 from every purchase will be donated to The Ally Coalition, which supports non-profit organizations working to uplift and improve the lives of LGBTQ+ youth.

Lorie Liebig — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 00:14:34 +0000

Award-winning songwriter, musician, and actor Kris Kristofferson has died. He was 88. The news was confirmed by a statement released by his family via a press release on the evening of Sept. 29.

“It is with a heavy heart that we share the news our husband/father/grandfather, Kris Kristofferson, passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 28 at home,” the statement reads. “We’re all so blessed for our time with him. Thank you for loving him all these many years, and when you see a rainbow, know he’s smiling down at us all.”

Born on June 22, 1936, in Brownsville, Texas, Kristofferson was one of the pivoital figures in the outlaw country movement that blossomed in the 1970s. The Country Music Hall of Fame inductee and member of supergroop The Highwaymen was known for penning an expansive list of now-classic songs, including “Me and Bobby McGee,” “Sunday Morning Comin’ Down,” and “Help Me Make It Through the Night.”

“The Country Music world has lost one of its most profound storytellers,” Sarah Trahern, Country Music Association CEO, shares in a statement. “I was fortunate to get to work with Kris on many projects over the years. His charm was exactly what you’d expect—unassuming and slightly mysterious yet deeply warm. As a prolific writer, actor and performer, his gifts were unlike anyone else. We regret that we will no longer be beneficiaries of his incredible words and talents. Our hearts go out to Kris’s friends and family during this sad time.”

Kristofferson’s survived by his wife, Lisa; eight children, Tracy, Kris Jr., Casey, Jesse, Jody, John, Kelly, and Blake; and seven grandchildren. The family asks for privacy during this time. Memorial services are currently pending.

Ashley Monroe Shares Lovelorn New Single “There You Are”

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 25 Sep 2024 20:04:04 +0000

Fresh off her buzzed-about showcase at AmericanaFest 2024, accomplished singer-songwriter Ashley Monroe is sharing a brand new track that’s been a highlight of her recent live sets.

Penned by Jessi Alexander, Margaret Findley, and Sally Barris, “There You Are” is a heartbreaking, piano-driven ballad about a former love that’s left a lasting, painful mark.

“Sally Barris was one of the first people I wrote with in Nashville,” Monroe shares in a statement. “She co-wrote ‘Satisfied,’ ‘Used,’ ‘Weed Instead of Roses’ and a slew of other songs I’ve recorded through the years. Sally taught me new chords, helped my mom and I look for a place to live when we moved from Knoxville, and truly helped shape the way I write.

One day in 2004, she played me a song she had written with Jessi Alexander and Margaret Findley called ‘There You Are,’ and it absolutely slayed me,” she continues. “I’ve played it and sang it just about every time I’ve sat at a piano since 2004, and I feel it just as deep today as I did back then.

I sat down at the antique piano in Gena Johnson’s studio and started playing it one day, and she said, ‘I have to capture this!’ I’m so thankful she did. This song still moves me to my core, and I am so proud and honored to share its power with the world.”

Monroe’s moving new track is the latest in a string of singles and collaborations that she’s shared in recent months, including the breezy “Hot Rod Pipe Dream” in July. Although she hasn’t confirmed any plans for a new album in the immediate future, we can only hope that a follow-up to her impressive 2021 record Rosegold isn’t too far away.

Dawes Navigate Life’s Uncertainties In New Single “Surprise!”

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 19 Sep 2024 20:24:17 +0000

With their latest single, Dawes offer an indie rock reflection on the unpredictable changes that accompany the passage of time. Released Wednesday (Sept. 18), “Surprise!” is a bold, groovy examination of past journeys and where all those winding roads led you to today.

“Now the nature of your birthday party has changed a lot for me / What was once a celebration feels like a shameless victory,” Goldsmith reflects soulfully. “I guess we all confuse our happiness with what it takes to just survive / But the moment that the switch gets flipped is always a surprise.”

“The things you hope for never arrive as anticipated, if at all,” band member Taylor Goldsmith shares in a statement. “The things that scare you are not what you should have actually been worried about. The person you were wouldn’t recognize the person you are, but not in the ways you’d expect. [‘Surprise!’ is] a song about getting older and taking stock in how elegantly (or not) we’ve all navigated the terrain.”

The track serves as the latest in a string of singles released ahead of Dawes’ ninth studio album, Oh Brother, set for release on Oct. 11. Goldsmith, his sibling and bandmate Griffin Goldsmith, and Mike Viola co-produced the 9-track LP, which explores fresh territory for the long-running band. Oh Brother is the group’s first full-length project since the amicable departure of members Lee Pardini and Wylie Gelber in 2023, created in a chapter of self-examination that also cultivated newfound inspiration.

“All you can really do is find out what are the most essential, truest, and idiosyncratic parts of yourself,” Taylor Goldsmith says. “And I like the fact that Griffin and I are kind of clinging to each other and holding on to each other more than we ever have. We’re grateful for each other in a new way. But we’ve also been through a lot.”

Dead Ringers

“It feels like we’re reborn in a way, and I mean that with so, so much love and gratitude to everyone we’ve ever played with before! This is what it means to be a lifer, to have iterations,” Goldsmith continues. “It means having phases and chapters, and this is a very clear delineation as to the beginning of a new one. So Oh Brother feels like a ninth record, but it also feels like a first record.”

Watch the official lyric video for “Surprise!” below:

Dawes, ‘Oh Brother’ Track List:

1. “Mr. Los Angeles”
2. “Front Row Seat”
3. “Still Strangers Sometimes”
4. “Surprise!”
5. “House Parties”
6. “King of the Never-Wills”
7. “The Game”
8. “Enough Already”
9. “Hilarity Ensues”

Willie Nelson Shares Heartfelt Cover of The Flaming Lips’ “Do You Realize??”

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 19 Sep 2024 19:11:10 +0000

Few artists can transform another act’s well-known song into something distinctly their own quite like Willie Nelson can. The accomplished singer-songwriter shows off that uncomparable skill with his surprising new single, “Do You Realize??”

Released today (Sept. 19), the beloved 91-year-old musical legend transforms the track made famous by psych-rock group The Flaming Lips. The quirky electro-pop song served as the lead single from the Lips’ 2002 album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots and marked one of the group’s biggest commercial successes. For his rendition, Nelson strips away the layered electronic soundscape, shifting a new spotlight onto the reflective, sometimes melancholy lyrics.

“He’s just such a unique singer,” The Flaming Lips’ lead singer Wayne Coyne shares of Nelson in a statement. “You hear one second of his voice, and you go, that’s him.”

His son, Micah, who also served as producer on the Country Music Hall of Fame member’s upcoming album, joins Nelson on backing vocals. Last Leaf on the Tree, set for release on Nov. 1 via Legacy Recordings, features a mix of surprising covers, familiar favorites, and original tracks. Micah Nelson says the recording process offered a chance to introduce his father to a fresh batch of songs from other artists, which helped light sparks of creative inspiration.

“A lot of these songs he’d never heard before I played them for him, so he had no memories or history with them,” Micah says. “There was a cool moment when I think my dad realized how meaningful these songs were to a whole new audience he wasn’t aware of. I was playing some new mixes and my cousin Trevor came over right when we were listening to ‘Do You Realize??,’ and he totally freaked out. That really fired my dad up! I felt this energy shift in him about the whole project.”

Yola Previews New EP With Sonically Expansive Single “Future Enemies”

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 19 Sep 2024 18:06:30 +0000

Yola has delivered her first new music in three years, marking the start of a new creative era for the multi-talented artist. Today (Sept. 19), the singer-songwriter and actress delivered her fresh and captivating new single, “Future Enemies.”

The track finds Yola leaning into experimentation more than ever, staying true to her self-declared “genre-fluid” label. Alongside her familiarly commanding vocals, the British-born talent builds a surprising soundscape by folding in musical elements plucked from classic R&B, soul, pop, and the UK’s “broken beats” dance scene.

“You better believe / Whenever you think that you want it / Whenever you think that you want it / You don’t know, me,” she declares in the track’s punching, anthemic chorus. “You just think you want this future enemy.”

“There is a moment when you realise you’re not going to get on with someone,” Yola shares of the song’s theming in a statement. “They haven’t noticed yet, so you have a unique opportunity to disappear from their lives before they ever realise you were destined to be enemies. It’s a luxury to not have an endless supply of negative memories about someone cause you never made them. ‘Why don’t we just not!’

I choose to save my time for situations, spaces and people that have no ticking timer of inevitable doom, because they don’t see me or centre a reality that does not serve me or my wellbeing. Of course when you’re a woman, culturally black (as well as physically black), dark-skinned (and feminine in energy), plus size (and wilfully main character in energy), from a whole different continent and living in the west- let’s say you’re going to have to be both vigilant and choosy in life, in love in work. Oh and if you also want to be real, girl!!”

“Future Enemies” signals a sonic shift that she’s been “purposefully hinting about… for years,” which is at the core of her next project. Her upcoming EP, My Way, is due out on Nov. 15 and marks her first multi-track release via S-Curve Records.

“This time I’m exploring my love of soul music through influences like Chaka Khan, Janet Jackson, Sade, Prince, Minnie Riperton, and various luminaries of rare groove and progressive R&B,” explains Yola. “Layering programming and synths with organic instrumentation is at the core of the sonic landscape, and as usual I have metabolised these elements into a concoction very much of my own.”

Over a six-year period, Zayn build a quiet life in rural Pennsylvania, where he focused on creating a collection of music that represented who he had become. The result is his latest album Room Under the Stairs, which arrived on May 17 and offers an intimate look at his life and personal evolution.

Concertgoers can expect to hear plenty of cuts from Room Under the Stairs, along with “fan favorites never-before performed live,” according to a press release.

Margo Price Comes Full Circle with Billy Strings Collaboration “Too Stoned to Cry”

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 12 Sep 2024 19:42:05 +0000

When I moved to Nashville in 2014, the local music scene was overflowing with talented singer-songwriters seemingly on the cusp of greatness. Artists like Margo Price, Kelsey Waldon, Cale Tyson, Erin Rae, Joshua Hedley, Nikki Lane, and Andrew Combs unexpectedly became some of the representative voices of “hip East Nashville.” 10 years ago, that neighborhood was still going through gentrification, a transformative period echoed in the nostalgic nods to classic country and folk sung by the city’s young artists.

A decade later, East Nashville is now seemingly home to more Teslas than local venues, and each of those artists have cultivated strong careers for themselves that stretch far beyond the city’s traffic-filled highways. One of that era’s biggest commercial and artistic successes is Price, whose 2016 solo album Midwest Farmer’s Daughter earned widespread acclaim from both critics and music fans eager for something familiar yet vastly different from modern pop-country.

In her albums since, Price has evolved that retro-inspired country sound, embraced 70s alt-rock psychedelia, and continued to travel a career path exclusively on her own terms. With the release of her latest single, “Too Stoned to Cry,” the Illinois native gives a nod to her past while kicking off a new creative chapter.

She’s joined by friend and fellow multi-talented musician Billy Strings on the gut punching track, which dropped earlier today (Sept. 11). “Too Stoned to Cry” was penned by fellow longtime Nashville transplant Combs, who previously recorded the stirring story-song for his stellar 2012 album Worried Man. (Combs is also fresh off the release of a new album, Dream Pictures, which I highly recommend.)

“It was such a joy to work with Billy on this song,” added Price. “He really nailed the vocals and laid down a beautiful lead. I have wanted to record this song for years now, ever since I heard the writer Andrew Combs sing it.

My buddy Beau Bedford and I had been in the studio together working on an Orville Peck track, and I asked him to produce this single for me,” she continued. “He put together a really great band – Beau and I, plus my husband Jeremy Ivey played acoustic, Aksel Coe on drums, Misa Arriaga on Bass, Russ Pahl on pedal steel, Joey McClellan on electric. Once we got Billy to add his guitar and singing, I knew this song was gonna be a special recording.”

The pair’s rendition builds off the haunting soundscape of Combs’ original gem, with Billy Strings stepping in on the perfected harmonies originally provided by Heidi Feek. Longtime fans of Price will immediately recognize the old-school country sound that became a trademark of her early releases, offering a reminder of both what’s changed and what’s stayed the same through the years.

“When I first came on the scene, I was a countryfied, hard-headed, whiskey drinkin’ nobody who was pissed off at the establishment,” Price shared in a statement. “All of that’s still true, except for the whiskey drinkin’ part. If anything, now that I’ve lived for a while inside of the establishment, I’m even more pissed off. I’ve let some people go. I’m still fighting with others to let me be myself, but I know I’m gonna make this next record the way I want to make it, no matter what it takes.”

Chappell Roan Reigns Supreme at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards

Although it was her debut at the MTV Video Music Awards, Chappell Roan‘s appearance at the Wednesday night ceremony was also a well-earned victory lap. The pop queen, who skyrocketed to fame over the past year with the release of her album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, took the stage to perform her hit “Good Luck, Babe!”

The “Femininomenon” hitmaker brought her signature theatrical flare to the performance, literally setting the stage on fire with a flaming arrow and rocking chainmail for a medieval-inspired set.

Roan was introduced by drag icon Sasha Colby, who Roan has called her favorite drag queen.

“Me saying I’m your favorite artist’s favorite artist at Coachella was a nod to [Colby], how much I admire her, and how much drag is intertwined with my project,” Roan wrote on Instagram earlier this year.

Shortly after her performance, Roan was named Best New Artist. During her acceptance speech, she read from her diary, honoring the drag artists and LGBTQ+ folks who inspire her.

“I dedicate this to all the drag artists who inspire me and queer and trans people,” Roan said. “To the gays who dedicate my songs to someone they love or hate and thank you to the people who are fans who listen to me and hear me when I share my joy or my fears.”

Roan, who is from a suburb of Springfield, Mo., also used her speech to speak directly to “queer kids in the midwest.”

“Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t be exactly who you wanna be, b****,” the “HOT TO GO” singer said.

Roan was nominated for Best New Artist alongside Benson Boone, Gracie Abrams, Shaboozey, Teddy Swims and Tyla.

Sabrina Carpenter Takes the MTV VMAs to Space with Cosmic Medley

Bobbie Sawyer — Thu, 12 Sep 2024 02:34:20 +0000

Sabrina Carpenter cemented her status as a pop icon with a powerhouse medley of hits from her smash album Short n’ Sweet on the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards. After being introduced by music legend Cyndi Lauper, Carpenter opened her set suspended from New York’s UBS arena, singing a portion of her No. 1 hit “Please, Please, Please.”

Set against the backdrop of a giant MTV “Moonman,” the singer-songwriter heightened the astral themes of the award ceremony by taking the audience to space. During her performance of current single “Taste,” she took the stage with an astronaut and a scantily clad alien. For “Espresso,” the “Feather” singer was joined by a crew of dancing astronauts.

In a ceremony that continuously calls back to early 2000s culture — an era during which the VMAs were appointment viewing — Carpenter looked right at home, embracing the camp and fun that defined so many of the early aughts hits.

Carpenter, who walked the VMAs red carpet in a white, sparkling Bob Mackie dress previously worn by Madonna for the 1991 Oscars, released the critically acclaimed Short n’ Sweet in August. She is nominated for Artist of the Year at the ceremony.

Early 2024 VMA winners include Taylor Swift and Post Malone, who took home the award for Best Collaboration for “Fortnight,” Benson Boone, who won Best Alternative for “Beautiful Things,” Lenny Kravitz who won Best Rock for “Human,” and Tyla, who won Best Afrobeats.

Katy Perry was awarded the Video Vanguard Award, an honor previously bestowed upon Madonna, David Bowie, Britney Spears, Beyoncé and more.

Franz Ferdinand Deliver “Audacious” New Single From Upcoming Album

Lorie Liebig — Wed, 11 Sep 2024 15:43:27 +0000

Scotland’s own Franz Ferdinand have shared the lead single from their first new full-length record in seven years. Released today (Sept. 11), “Audacious” offers an elevated version of the bold, effortless blend of indie rock and art-pop that first launched them to stardom two decades ago.

“It’s about having an audacious response when you feel the fabric of existence come undone around you,” frontman Alex Kapranos shares of the song. “Being bold, contrary. Peering over the edge into the eternity of non-existence and saying Aye! F*** it! Not today, thank you!”

“Don’t stop feeling audacious / There’s no one to save us / So just carry on,” the band proclaims in the tune’s hypnotic chorus. “And don’t go blaming the nеighbors / You know they’re the samе as us / We should just get on, get on.”

Domino

“Audacious” is an intriguing preview of Franz Ferdinand’s upcoming sixth studio album, The Human Fear, due out on Jan. 10 via Domino. Bandmates Kapranos, Bob Hardy (bass), Dino Bardot (guitar), Audrey Tait (drums), and Julian Corrie (guitar/synth/keys) pushed themselves in new directions creatively when crafting the 11-track LP.

“Making this record was one of the most life-affirming experiences I’ve had, but it’s called The Human Fear,” explains Kapranos. “Fear reminds you that you’re alive. I think we all are addicted in some way to the buzz it can give us. How we respond to it shows how we are human. So here’s a bunch of songs searching for the thrill of being human via fears. Not that you’d necessarily notice on first listen.”

Along with the unveiling of their upcoming album and lead single, Franz Ferdinand has also announced a string of European and U.K. tour dates set for early next year. You can find a complete list of upcoming live shows and ticketing information by visiting the band’s official website.

The Human Fear Track List:

1.  “Audacious”
2.  “Everyday Dreamer”
3.  “The Doctor”
4.  “Hooked”
5.  “Build It Up”
6.  “Night Or Day”
7.  “Tell Me I Should Stay”
8.  “Cats”
9.  “Black Eyelashes”
10. “Bar Lonely”
11. “The Birds”

Since the release of Reboot, Brooks & Dunn has kept a steady presence on the road, performing a mix of their most recognizable singles and fan favorites. Neon Moon Tour attendees can expect to hear back-to-back hits during the shows, which promise to serve as an energetic career retrospective through song.

Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame member and fellow 90s country hitmaker David Lee Murphy will serve as the opening act for this leg of the tour.

Jason Isbell Brings “Something More Than Free” to 2024 Democratic National Convention

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 20 Aug 2024 02:02:05 +0000

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Jason Isbell delivered a stripped-down rendition of “Something More Than Free” to the 2024 Democratic National Convention on Monday night (Aug. 19). Dressed in a tuxedo with his electric guitar in hand, the GRAMMY Award-winning artist sang lyrics that told a story relatable to many blue-collar Americans.

“I don’t think on why I’m here, where it hurts / I’m just lucky to have the work,” Isbell sang. “Sunday morning, I’m too tired to go to church / But I thank God for the work / I thank God for the work.”

The song served as the title track from Isbell’s celebrated 2015 solo record, which hit No. 1 on Billboard‘s Rock, Country, and Folk Albums charts that year. On Oct. 4, Isbell and his band The 400 Unit will release their new album Live From The Ryman Vol. 2, comprised of performances recorded during past sold-out residencies in Nashville.

Earlier in the evening, Mickey Guyton also took the DNC stage in Chicago to share a rendition of her hopeful anthem “All American.” James Taylor is also scheduled to perform on Monday night, with additional acts still to be announced in the coming days.

Watch Mickey Guyton Light Up the 2024 Democratic National Convention with “All American”

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 20 Aug 2024 01:01:23 +0000

Celebrated country artist Mickey Guyton delivered an uplifting performance of her track “All American” at the 2024 Democratic National Convention. She took the stage this evening (Aug. 19) at the United Center in Chicago, Ill. to deliver a rendition of her original track, which echoed a heartfelt message of unity.

“We got the same stars, the same stripes / Just wanna live that good life,” she proclaimed in the song’s blazing chorus. “Ain’t we all, ain’t we all all American?”

“All American” is the second track from Guyton’s 2021 debut studio album, Remember Her Name. The talented Texas native has paved a new and important path within country music over the past decade. Guyton, who became the first Black woman to perform at the Academy of Country Music Awards in 2020, has delivered some of the most authentic and powerful tracks in recent years. Her songs “Black Like Me” and “What Are You Gonna Tell Her?” serve as personal and raw story-songs that reflect the experiences of many American women.

Guyton took the stage in support of Democratic Presidential Nominee to-be Kamala Harris, who would become America’s first female president in history if elected.

“It’s so inspiring to see someone who is not only exceptionally smart, but also happens to look like me, running for the highest office in our country,” Guyton told CNN in a pre-perfomance interview. “She represents so much to so many and I just think it’s incredible. I never thought I would see a woman be president in my lifetime and now it seems attainable.”

Guyton served as the first of multiple musical acts set to take the stage during the convention’s kick-off. James Taylor and Jason Isbell are also scheduled to perform during Monday night’s festivities.

Willie Nelson Examines the Seasons of Life With New Album “Last Leaf on the Tree”

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 15 Aug 2024 19:44:45 +0000

Legendary singer-songwriter Willie Nelson is gearing up to release his 153rd studio album. Today (Aug. 15), the 91-year-old hitmaker confirmed details of the project, Last Leaf on the Tree, which is set for release on Nov. 1 via Legacy Recordings.

The record was crafted in collaboration with Nelson’s son and fellow musical talent, Micah, who served as producer for the LP. In a statement, Micah Nelson says he took a “sculptor’s approach” while creating the album.

“It’s an approach that I really love and have used a lot over the years — just throwing the clay down and stepping back, then maybe adding a little more, and then maybe shaving down here, and kind of building the tracks that way,” he added.

Last Leaf on the Tree features 13 tracks, which include a mix of original tracks and eclectic covers. Thanks to the creative guidance of 34-year-old Micah, listeners get a chance to hear Willie take on modern tracks like The Flaming Lips’ “Do You Realize??” alongside versions of tracks from familiar friends like Neil Young.

Legacy Recordings

To coincide with the album announcement, Nelson also shared the title track “Last Leaf,” written and originally recorded by Tom Waits. The track serves as a moving and somewhat haunting example of the record’s main theming, which Micah describes as “facing death with grace.”

“I’m the last leaf on the tree / The autumn took the rest but they won’t take me,” he sings, offering an emotional yet melancholy declaration. “I’m the last leaf on the tree.”

Listen to “Last Leaf” below:

Willie Nelson’s Last Leaf on the Tree Track List:

1. “Last Leaf” (written by Tom Waits & Kathleen Brennan)
2. “If It Wasn’t Broken” (written by Sydney Lyndella Ward)
3. “Lost Cause” (written by Beck David Hansen)
4. “Come Ye” (written by Nina Simone)
5. “Keep Me In Your Heart” (written by Warren Zevon & Jorge Calderon)
6. “Robbed Blind” (written by Keith Richards)
7. “House Where Nobody Lives” (written by Tom Waits)
8. “Are You Ready For The Country?” (written by Neil Young)
9. “Do You Realize??” (written by Wayne Coyne/Steven Drozd/Michael Ivins/David Fridmann)
10. “Wheels” (written by Micah Nelson)
11. “Broken Arrow” (written by Neil Young)
12. “Color of Sound” (written by Willie Nelson & Micah Nelson)
13. “The Ghost” (written by Willie Nelson)

Denitia Searches for Stability In Stunning New Single “Don’t Let Me Go”

Lorie Liebig — Tue, 13 Aug 2024 18:34:39 +0000

Long before it became the hub for debaucherous bachelorette parties, Nashville was known as the place to find some of the most talented artists and songwriters in the world. With her latest single, “Don’t Let Me Go,” Music City resident Denitia spotlights the rare kind of artistry that positions her far apart from the pack.

Over the past few years, the gifted singer-songwriter has rapidly made a mark on the Nashville music scene after becoming a stalwart of Brooklyn’s independent music scene for a decade. Since relocating to Tennessee, she’s earned local critical praise and national attention, regularly touring with the Black Opry Revue. On Sept. 6, she’ll share her buzzed-about new album Sunset Drive, which promises a captivating blend of country and indie rock.

Co-written with Brad Allen Williams, who also served as producer for Sunset Drive, “Don’t Let Me Go” is a heavenly mix of vulnerable lyricism and sparse but intricated instrumentation. Reminiscent of the genre-blending sounds of acts like Ruston Kelly and boygenius, the track echoes the complicated emotions that can accompany an unpredictable spark.

“I think you got to hold me / I’m drowning in water,” Denitia requests through smooth, emotive vocals. “And I’m drying out / No, don’t let me go.”

“‘Don’t Let Me Go’ is about falling in love accidentally and at the wrong time,” Denitia shared in a statement. “It’s about bringing your mess into someone else’s life, and holding on for dear life while you’re in pieces but falling in love anyways. There’s a certain desperation and chaos when you slip and fall into a new relationship when you’re really not ready. This one is a plea for someone to hold me together while I reckon with the chaos of not being ready to give my heart away again, but doing it anyway.”

Denitia will mark the release of Sunset Drive with a special performance at The Basement in Nashville on Sept. 6 ahead of a string of dates supporting Mickey Guyton this fall. You can find more information on the album and all upcoming live shows by visiting Denitia’s official website.

The Killers Share Sparkling New Single “Bright Lights”

Lorie Liebig — Fri, 09 Aug 2024 18:15:49 +0000

With their new single “Bright Lights,” released today (Aug. 9), The Killers tip their hat to the city that started it all. Frontman Brandon Flowers, guitarist Dave Keuning, bassist Mark Stoermer, and drummer Ronnie Vannucci Jr deliver an energizing anthem true to the band’s trademark polished rock sound.

“Will you turn the bright lights on? / Baby, turn the bright lights on,” Flowers asks passionately in the track’s blazing chorus. “‘Cause I haven’t forgotten where it is I’m from / Look out your window for me / Here I come.”

Island Records

The track serves as a fitting leadup to The Killers’ upcoming residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, which begins on Aug. 14. The 10-show stint, which is completely sold out, celebrates the 20th anniversary of the band’s hit debut album, Hot Fuss.

Although details of the residency have been mostly kept under wraps, the music video for “Bright Lights” leans into the imagery of vintage Vegas live shows, invoking a style that has been a longtime staple of The Killers’ stage design and branding.

Leon Bridges Announces Self-Titled LP, Shares “Peaceful Place”

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 08 Aug 2024 20:03:40 +0000

Celebrated singer-songwriter Leon Bridges is giving fans a taste of what’s to come from his forthcoming follow-up to 2021’s Gold-Diggers Sound. Today (Aug. 8), the Texas native shared details of his new LP Leon, which is set for release on Oct. 4 via Columbia Records.

“Leon has been a long time coming,” Bridges shared in a statement. “I started writing pieces of it as far back as Gold-Diggers Sound. They didn’t fit what I was trying to do with that album and I tried moving on. But I couldn’t shake them because they’re part of me. And, if I’m honest, also because I think this is some of my most excellent work yet.

“In many ways, Leon has been in the works since my childhood,” he added. “This record is about simpler days. It’s about time spent in my beloved Fort Worth and the experiences that made me the man I am today. It’s soulful music in the truest sense – it’s imbued with my soul.”

Columbia Records

Co-produced by Ian Fitchuk and Daniel Tashian, the creative dream team behind Kacey Musgraves‘ past three albums, Leon includes 13 tracks that offer an intimate examination of the people, places, and moments that have shaped the Grammy Award-winning artist.

“I’m excited to share these stories about my home, about nostalgia, about my upbringing, about where I’m from, with all of you,” said Bridges. “I hope this music brings you back to your roots and your journey.”

These album details were unveiled along with the record’s dreamy lead single, “Peaceful Place.” The hypnotic and breezy track finds Bridges leaning into the serenity he’s tapped into. “I’m in a peaceful place / I find something no one can take away.”

Watch the official music video for “Peaceful Place,” shot in the scenic outskirts of Mexico City during the album’s recording process, below:

Leon Track List:
1. “When A Man Cries”
2. “That’s What I Love”
3. “Laredo”
4. “Panther City”
5. “Ain’t Got Nothing On You”
6. “Simplify”
7. “Teddy’s Tune”
8. “Never Satisfied”
9. “Peaceful Place”
10. “Can’t Have It All”
11. “Ivy”
12. “Ghetto Honeybee”
13. “God Loves Everyone”

Snow Patrol Search for Clarity In New Single “All”

Lorie Liebig — Thu, 08 Aug 2024 19:21:55 +0000

Long-running rock outfit Snow Patrol has shared a soaring and heartfelt new track from their forthcoming album The Forest Is The Path. Released today (Aug. 8), “All” begins by quickly clarifying itself as “not a love song,” but offers up plenty of raw emotion and real vulnerability.

“All I know is holding you is all I ever wanna know / But maybe I’m not brave enough to tell you so,” lead vocalist Gary Lightbody declares powerfully. “But I don’t have the strength to watch you go / Oh they say it’s better to have loved at least but reel it in / It wasn’t that I wasn’t feeling anything / More like feeling everything at once.”

“’All’ was written by Fraser T Smith and myself in late November of 2022,” Lightbody shared of the song in a statement. “This was almost exactly a year before we would ask Fraser to produce the album. The first time we recorded the album it didn’t work out and we would then ask Fraser to step into the producer’s chair in December of 2023 and he was a dream to work with. The first day of writing with him I walked into the studio and he had already got some music going. It was all very much “Hi, how are you, what about this?” and BAM we were off. I love [it] when that happens. [I’m] not really a fan of the small talk. I like big talk. And when you’re writing a song with someone you have to get to the big talk (or what’s the point), so why wait?

“My memory is that it all came together very quickly,” he continues. “I wrote a melody and some words while Fraser built the track and in a couple of hours, we had a really great rough version of the song. Then Johnny and Nathan put some extraordinary guitars, keys, and piano on it, not to mention incredible backing vocals and so many things which lifted the song massively. Another example of the three of us being locked in together on this record, it felt like something truly special was happening in the studio.”

“All” serves as the third single from The Forest Is The Path, which is set for release on Sept. 13 via Republic Records. Produced by track co-writer Smith, Snow Patrol’s upcoming LP is their first since 2018 and features 12 tracks, including the previously released “The Beginning” and “This Is The Sound Of Your Voice.”

Listen to “All” below:

The Forest Is The Path Track List:
1. “All”
2. “The Beginning”
3. “Everything’s Here And Nothing’s Lost”
4. “Your Heart Home”
5. “This Is The Sound Of Your Voice”
6. “Hold Me In The Fire”
7. “Years That Fall”
8. “Never Really Tire”
9. “These Lies”
10. “What If Nothing Breaks?”
11. “Talking About Hope”
12. “The Forest Is The Path”

Kacey Musgraves, ‘Deeper Into the Well’

Bobbie Sawyer — Thu, 08 Aug 2024 02:14:46 +0000

Back in March, Kacey Musgraves preceded Brat Summer with what can only be described as Saturn Return Spring, a month-long stretch of releases by artists such as Ariana Grande, SZA and Musgraves reflecting on the astrological phenomenon that occurs roughly every 29.5 years. It’s a period of time marked by life changes and a re-assessment of your priorities, a sentiment explored in the title track to Musgraves’ fifth album Deeper Well, in which the 35-year-old sings about foregoing a wake and bake ritual with her gravity bong in favor of a more clear-headed start to the day: meditation.

In the months since its release, Deeper Well has served as a balm for anxious souls. On the 14-track album, Musgraves ruminates on connecting with nature (“Heart of the Woods,” “Cardinal”), prioritizing happiness over material things (“Lonely Millionaire”) and being present (the Nora Ephron-inspired “Dinner With Friends”).

On Deeper Into the Well, an expanded edition of the album (released Aug. 2), Musgraves delves deeper into her psyche and provides seven new anthems for fans seeking solace in a world of chaos – among them, millennials who shop at metaphysical stores and Gen Z-ers making “cottage witch” TikTok content. (The Texan is so back to her roots, she celebrated the album release not at a swanky party, but at a Nashville farmer’s market.)

In other words: get in, girlies; we’re charging our crystals, going to therapy and listening to Deeper Into the Well.

Interscope / MCA Nashville

The new set of songs kicks off with “Ruthless,” a stunner that finds the singer pledging her devotion to a loved one. (“If anyone tried to hurt you,” she sings, “I would be ruthless for you.”)

Musgraves delivers one of the best songs ever penned about sisterhood in “Little Sister,” inspired by her own little sister, Kelly, a photographer who’s helped create the album art for all of the singer’s albums. (“She got the clothes that I grew out of/ I could never shut my mouth, but she was the quiet one…she’s the bigger person, my little sister.”)

“Flower Child,” which features one of Musgraves’ best lyrics to date (“ADHD and a ring in your nose/ roll out of bed and you make it up as you go”) and the Leon Bridges collab “Superbloom” sound like a cosmic stroll through Laurel Canyon, while “Perfection,” featuring folk-pop group Tiny Habits, finds Musgraves working through her own fears and insecurities.

The relationship post-mortem “Arm’s Length” leads into the gorgeous album closer: Celtic-inspired “Irish Goodbye.” “No face to face, no eye to eye/ I thought this meant more but I guess that’s alright,” Musgraves sings. “I’ll forgive your faults if you’ll forgive mine, but it’s hard to forgive your Irish goodbye.”

Musgraves’ Saturn has returned and, with it, she returns to the stirring, plainspoken truths that made us fall in love with her in the first place.

Kacey Musgraves, Deeper Into the Well Track List:

1. “Cardinal”
2. “Deeper Well”
3. “Too Good to be True”
4. “Moving Out”
5. “Giver/Taker”
6. “Sway”
7. “Dinner with Friends”
8. “Heart of the Woods”
9. “Jade Green”
10. “The Architect”
11. “Lonely Millionaire”
12. “Heaven Is”
13. “Anime Eyes”
14. “Nothing to Be Scared of”
15. “Ruthless”
16. “Little Sister”
17. “Flower Child”
18. “Superbloom” ft. Leon Bridges
19. “Perfection” ft. Tiny Habits
20. “Arm’s Length”
21. “Irish Goodbye”
