Greensky Bluegrass

Tue, 11 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Greensky Bluegrass
Country

For two decades now, Greensky Bluegrass have been building an empire, brick by brick. They are widely known for their dazzling live performances and relentless touring schedule, but that is only the tip of the complex tale of the five musicians that make up Greensky Bluegrass: Anders Beck [dobro], Michael Arlen Bont [banjo], Dave Bruzza [guitar], Mike Devol [upright bass], and Paul Hoffman [Mandolin]. The five are connected through a deep bond, just as they are seasoned road warriors, theyre a band of brothers who have seen each other through decades of ups and downs, personal and collective highlights, and the moments when life turns it all upside down. These are real people having real experiences. As with traditional bluegrass, they write about their own contemporary day-to-day happenings, emotions, and experiences in the modern world.

The bands underground die-hard fans pack out venues across the country. They travel in droves and sell out multiple-night show runs at iconic venues like Red Rocks and The Ryman.

As songwriters and musicians, we have a need for people to be on board, were not just regurgitating the same shit, explains Bruzza.

Hoffman adds, we arent a band all for money. We did it for romantic reasons such as love, catharsis, and because it mattered to us and the listeners. It would be easy to make decisions based on our needs to eat or the desires of others, but thats not doing it for love. We love what we do, and were grateful for the love we receive in return from the people listening."

Bruzza continues, I hope they know were doing this for us and them.

Here Come the Mummies
Pop

Here Come the Mummies is an eight-piece funk-rock band of 5000 year-old Egyptian Mummies with a one-track mind. Their "Terrifying Funk from Beyond the Grave" is sure to get you into them (and possibly vice versa).

Since their discovery, HCTM has been direct support for P-Funk, Al Green, Mavis Staples, KC and the Sunshine Band, and Cheap Trick; rocked Super Bowl Village; become a regular on The Bob and Tom Show; appeared on Thats My Jam with Jimmy Fallon; played massive festivals like Summer Fest, Summer Camp, Bluesfest Byron Bay, Musikfest, and Suwannee Hulaween; and sold tickets by the thousands across large swaths of North America. Maybe thats why the ladies (and some dudes) cant stop losing their minds over these mayhem-inducing mavens of mirth.

Some say they were cursed after deflowering a great Pharaohs daughter. Others claim they are reincarnated Grammy-Winning studio musicians. Regardless, HCTMs mysterious personas, cunning song-craft, and unrelenting live show will bend your brain, and melt your face. Get ready! Here Come The Mummies.

Houndmouth

Thu, 20 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

For two years, Matt Myers struggled to finish new songs.

"I was all raw emotion," says the Houndmouth frontman, who'd spent the previous decade blending rock & roll and American roots music into radio staples like the chart-topping, platinum-selling "Sedona." He'd written four albums in less than 10 years, but inspiration just wasn't showing up anymore. "I was feeling so much that I just couldn't write anything," he adds.

The end of one relationship. The beginning of another. The all-consuming feeling of new love. Myers' life had been eventful, both onstage and off, and all that living didn't leave him much time to create. Things changed when he paid a visit to Brad Cook, the Grammy-winning producer who'd overseen Houndmouth's fourth record, Good For You. What began as a reunion of two friends soon gave away to something bigger: the restart of Myers' songwriting engines and, in its wake, the creation of Lordy.

With its naked honesty and uncluttered arrangements, Lordy takes a stripped-back approach to Houndmouth's ever-evolving sound. It's an album about surviving, rebuilding, accepting, and thriving once more. Myers wrote most of the record's songs at home, strumming his Martin guitar while sunshine streamed through the kitchen windows. Years ago, he might've composed the record at night, tossing back a few drinks for encouragement. This was different. Clear-headed and wide awake, Myers reclaimed his muse during the daytime hours, starting with songs like "Tiger Blood" a ragged folk-rocker that builds its way toward a screaming finish and the album's gorgeously intimate title track.

"I let unfiltered emotion inform the words," he says. "With several songs, I learned to be ok with just letting some syllables line up, and letting the emotion behind it all do the talking."

This marked a change from the band's early days. Back then, Myers and company agonized over the precise placement of every snare hit and vocal harmony on albums like Little Neon Limelight, Houndmouth's commercial breakthrough. Steeped in the influence of 1970s roots-rock, those early records were collaborative efforts that merged Myers' vision as a songwriter, vocalist, and fiery lead guitarist with the input of his three bandmates. "I needed those albums to be collaborative projects because I was scared of being completely in charge," he admits. "Maybe that stunted me. This is the first time I've been able to write a record completely on my own, and there's a pressure that comes with that. I had to relearn everything."

Recording sessions were scattered throughout the course of a year, but Lordy still came together quickly. Myers would record a one-take performance of each song on his acoustic guitar, then build it into something bigger with help from other musicians. He told himself not to get lost in the mechanics or the minutia. After all, the goal wasn't be to perfect; it was to capture a moment, allowing the thoughts that swirled inside Myers' head to find the quickest way into his music.

Cook played an integral role in Lordy's creation not just as a producer, but as a close friend and confidante, too. "When I visited him in North Carolina for the first time, he walked out of his garage and gave me a big bear hug," Myers said. "He told me he was happy for me, and he gave me a lot of confidence with my new songs." Cook also reached out to others, surrounding Myers with a small circle of musicians who, like him, blurred the lines between modern-day indie music and the old-school roots of Americana. Iron & Wine's Sam Beam stopped by the studio during the creation of the album's final track, "Holy Moses," to offer advice and encouragement. MJ Lenderman paid a visit, too, adding his trademark guitar licks loose, lo-fi, and full of life to multiple tracks. Phil Cook (Megafaun, Hiss Golden Messenger) played on several songs, as did Caleb Hickman, Houndmouth's keyboardist. Hickman and his wife, Kay Robertson, also contributed to the songwriting process, and for Myers, the musical input was uplifting. "I've spent years working with peers and contemporaries," he says, "but this felt different. I was surrounded by people who were literally trying to pick me up and help me out. They pushed me to do the work."

Between recording sessions, he headed back to Louisville to rehearse the songs with his bandmates in a warehouse basement. Something about the basement's vibe gritty, frills-free, and utterly unlike the restored 19th century house that had served as the band's headquarters for years seemed to suit the new music. Steadily, the songs came together. "Heavy Eyes" explored the intersection of fatigue and hope, building its way toward a cinematic finish. "Don't Wanna Talk About" bounced between scaled-back verses and singalong choruses. "Never Gonna Die" turned simplicity into beauty, with Myers singing about challenging relationships over an uncluttered mix of hooks, harmonies, and groove.

Lordy asks its audience to lean in, listen closely, and engage, kickstarting a new era for Houndmouth. From Golden Age's embrace of shimmering electronics to Good For You's return-to-form focus on American roots music, this is a band that's spent years in evolution, unafraid to examine new sounds and different perspectives. Lordy continues that exploration and if it often sounds like the most intimate record in the band's catalog, it still packs an emotional punch that lingers long after the music fades.

Keith Anderson

Thu, 20 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Country Singer/Songwriter Keith Andersons latest song Ill Bring The Music sums up Anderson to a T. That is one thing that you can always say about this academic athlete from Miami, OK, who has always excelled at anything he has put his mind to, is he WILL bring the Music.

Although he has co-written hits for other artists, most notably Lost In This Moment, the No. 1 smash for Big & Rich which garnered him a CMA and ACM Song of the Year nomination, Anderson does not write with other artists in mind. I think Ill always write about what I know and feeland typically with myself in mind. However, I write a lot and I keep the songs that are really speaking to me when Im recording, and pitch everything else to other artists, says Anderson. Anderson also co-wrote the Grammy-nominated, Beer Run (B Double E Double Are You In?) for Garth Brooks and George Jones, The Bed for Gretchen Wilson and Barn Burner for Jason Michael Carroll.

His debut CD, Three Chord Country and American Rock & Roll, was certified Gold and garnered two Top 10 hits (accompanied by two No. 1 music videos), Pickin Wildflowers, and Every Time I Hear Your Name, along with two Top 30 hits XXL and Podunk. This success prompted music trades Billboard and Radio & Records to name him country musics No. 1 New Male Artist of 2005 and the top new solo country artist of the year.

It wasnt just his music that was getting attention. Anderson was named one of People Magazines 50 Hottest Bachelors, and Mens Fitness Magazines, Ultimate Country Star.

Andersons sophomore CD garnered the biggest hit of his career, I StillMiss You, which peaked at #2 and another Top 25 hit, Sunday Morning In America.

Taking the lead with other gold and platinum artists, Anderson decided to take hold of the reigns this time by launching his music his own way and letting the fans help drive his music and passion. Ill Bring the Music has had a huge resonance with the fans. says Anderson. As I tour all over the country, that is the song that gets them on their feet and is the song they are still singing as they head out the door. It reminds me of how Pickin Wildflowers moved them. And now Sirius XM Radio is Dancin to the beat as it has been added to The Highway channel 59s program, On The Horizon.

Project Pat

Thu, 27 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Of the many hardcore rappers to emerge from Memphis during the late '90s, Project Pat stood tall amid his peers. His affiliation with the collective introduced him to many listeners, especially after he was featured on the group's hit song "Sippin' on Some Syrup" in 2000. Yet Project Pat (born Patrick Houston, brother of founder ) made his mark on much of America with a hit song of his own a year later, "Chickenhead." The song -- which features production by and along with vocals by La' Chat -- became a Dirty South anthem in 2001 and propelled Pat's third album, Mista Don't Play: Everythangs Workin, into the Top Five.
