HANDMADE MOMENTS
Handmade Moments is a fearless, all-weather duo based in New Orleans, LA. Anna Moss and Joel Ludford’s endearing personalities guide us through diverse musical flavors of American music. They serve up ornate instrumentation and simple, yet sophisticated songcraft. Their live show offers a memorable mix of intoxicating vocals, bass clarinet, saxophone, sousaphone, guitar, upright bass, and tag team beatboxing.

"Moss and Ludford are masters at sneaking heavy messages into lighthearted melodies and arrangements, Moss’ bass clarinet functioning like a cheerful Trojan Horse to deliver a grim truth to the listener." – No Depression

CHRIS JONES

When he’s not fronting local Santa Cruz band Wolf Jett, Chris stays true to his folk, soul and country blues roots. Born in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, his voice is smooth as Tennessee whiskey and his guitar pickin’ cuts from Chet Atkins to Keith Richards in no time.

As versatile a musician as you will find, Chris is able to seamlessly intertwine classic and obscure covers with his seemingly timeless originals. He can play to any crowd under any circumstances, and he’s proven it time and time again, whether busking the streets of Europe, or touring the sweatiest clubs and hushed house parties across this good ol’ USofA.

He currently performs with a vintage hollowbody electric through a small tube combo amplifier, but he’s equally at home on acoustic. No gimmicks, no tricks, just straight vocals and guitar with a few stories in between. He has recently opened for Arcadian Wild, Brett Dennen, Cedric Burnside, Wayne “The Train” Hancock, Coco Montoya and Waylon Payne. He has performed solo at the Saratoga Mountain Winery Garden Stage, KC Turner Presents, and Felton Music Hall.

THE SCHIZOPHONICS
Amps screaming. No exit in sight. The Schizophonics kick the door in and never let it close.

This San Diego–based three-piece delivers a live show that’s loud and dangerously fun—an all-gas, no-brakes blast of feedback and groove. It’s full-contact rock ’n’ roll: high voltage, high velocity, and sharpened to a blade.

The band features Pat Beers on vocals and guitar, Lety Beers on drums, and Sarah Linton on bass. Together they unleash a fuzz-soaked, funk-fueled attack built on pounding rhythm and feral energy. Every song hits like a charge. Every set feels like the floor might give out. Blink and you miss something. Stand still and you get run over.

Forged on the road and fueled by motion, The Schizophonics have torn through stages in fourteen countries, earning a reputation as a must-see live act that turns rooms upside down. Channeling the raw spirit of James Brown, Iggy Pop, Jimi Hendrix, Little Richard, and The Sonics, they strip rock back to its most dangerous elements—and set them loose.

Behind the chaos is precision. Behind the noise are hooks that bite.

The Schizophonics are currently finishing their fourth full-length album, due Summer 2026.

FEVER DOG
Formed in 2007 by a group of 6th graders in the California Desert, FEVER DOG  have been electrifying audiences and earning the adulation of fans with their  signature explosive sound and over the top stage show throughout the United  States & Europe for years. Danny Graham (Vocals, Guitar,) Quanah Lienau  (Vocals, Guitar) Jaxon Fischer, (Vocals, Bass) & Joshua Adams (Vocals, Drums)  make-up the ensemble of the group which operates on one simple credo;  “ACTION!”

THE TREMOLOS
THE TREMOLOS blast out of Monterey, CA with their frantic, hook-heavy mix of punk rock, garage and surf. With a nod to bands like Wavves and Fidlar they pull inspiration from icons like Pixies, NOFX, Agent Orange, and Nirvana. Their 2025 release “oh no!” is out now and streaming everywhere (recorded at The Panda Studios with Charles Toshio (SCOWL, FALSE FLAG)).

RAYLAND BAXTER
For the making of his fourth album If I Were a Butterfly, Rayland Baxter holed up for over a year at a former rubber-band factory turned studio in the Kentucky countryside—a seemingly humble environment that proved to be something of a wonderland. “I spent that year living in a barn with the squirrels and the birds, on my own most of the time, and I discovered so much about music and how to create it,” says the Tennessee-bred singer/songwriter. “Instead of going into a studio with a producer for two weeks, I just waited for the record to build itself. I’d get up and go outside, see a butterfly and connect that with some impulsive thought I’d had three months ago, and suddenly a song I’d been working on would make sense. That’s how the whole album came to be.”
The follow-up to 2018’s critically acclaimed Wide Awake, If I Were a Butterfly finds Baxter co-producing alongside Tim O’Sullivan (Grace Potter, The Head and the Heart) and Kai Welch (Molly Tuttle, Sierra Hull), slowly piecing together the album’s patchwork of lush psychedelia and Beatlesesque pop. In addition to working at Thunder Sound (the Kentucky studio he called home for months on end), Baxter recorded in California, Texas, Tennessee, and Washington, enlisting a remarkable lineup of musicians: Shakey Graves, Lennon Stella, several members of Cage the Elephant, Zac Cockrell of Alabama Shakes, Morning Teleportation’s Travis Goodwin, and legendary Motown drummer Miss Bobbye Hall, among many others. In an especially meaningful turn, two of the album’s tracks feature the elegant pedal steel work of his father, Bucky Baxter (a musician who performed with Bob Dylan and who passed away in May 2020). Thanks to the extraordinary care and ingenuity behind its creation, If I Were a Butterfly arrives as a work of rarefied magic, capable of stirring up immense feeling while leaving the listener happily wonderstruck.

DIGGIN DIRT
From behind the redwood curtain of Humboldt County, California, the seven piece funk-soul band Diggin Dirt has carved out a niche as a live party not to be missed. Shoveling their own path, Diggin Dirt has seen sustained growth over the past few years, with multiple national tours and festival stops at Jam Cruise, High Sierra, Hulaween, Same Same but Different, Live Oak, Cascade Equinox, Joshua Tree Music Festival and many more. 

Per a 2024 Jam Cruise writer, “This was the soul music I grew up with in the ‘60s and ‘70s, but I confess I wasn’t expecting [Diggin Dirt] to be throwing it down this hard. This group is impossibly tight, and Zach Alder might be the best soul shouter I’ve ever heard, and I’ve heard a few.” 

Their infectious sound is fueled by blazing horns, searing guitars and a relentlessly driving rhythm section, and tying it all together is the band’s frontman who launches the ensemble into rarefied air with his pipes, charisma and natural-born soul. With flashes of James Brown or Sly and the Family Stone, Otis Redding or Tower of Power, the band’s sound is both familiar and yet refreshingly original, layering psychedelic rock, Motown soul, afrobeat and even reggae atop a thick foundation of late-60s inspired funk.

Y LA BAMBA
To declare one thematic narrative from Lucha, Y La Bamba’s seventh album, would be to chisel away a story within a story within a story into the illusion of something singular.

“Lucha is a symbol of how hard it is for me to tackle healing, live life, and be present,” Luz Elena Mendoza Ramos, lead vocalist and producer of Y La Bamba, says of the title behind the album which translates from Spanish to English as ‘fight’ and is also a nickname for Luz, which means light. The album explores multiplicity—love, queerness, Mexican American and Chicanx identity, family, intimacy, yearning, loneliness—and chronicles a period of struggle and growth for Mendoza Ramos as a person and artist.

Lucha was born out of isolation at the advent of COVID-19 lockdowns, beginning with a cover of Hank Williams’ “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,” and following Mendoza Ramos as she moved from Portland, Oregon to Mexico City, returning to her parents’ home country while revisiting a lineage marred by violence and silence, and simultaneously reaching towards deeper relationships with loved ones and herself. The album reflects “another tier of facing vulnerability,” as Mendoza Ramos explains, and is a battle cry to fight in order to be seen and to be accepted, if not celebrated, in every form—anger and compassion, externally and internally, individually and societally. As much as la lucha is about inner work, fighting is borne from survival stemming from social structures designed to uplift dominant groups at the hands of suffering amongst the marginalized.

While peeling back layers of the past to better understand the present has been integral to this period of growth for Mendoza Ramos, time, trauma, and history can feel like interconnected, abysmal loops and music has remained a trusted space for Mendoza Ramos to process, experiment, and channel her learnings into a creative practice. In this way, Lucha has become cyclical, documenting the parallel trust Mendoza Ramos has built with herself to allow the songs to guide how they should be sung, or even sound.

“I’ve been wanting to let whatever feels natural—with rhythm and musical instruments like congas and singing—to just let it be, in the way that I’m trying to invoke in myself.” Lucha reflects on, “the continuing process of learning how to exercise my producing skills,” explains Mendoza Ramos. “I have so many words, ideas to work with all the time, and the hardest part for me has been learning to trust my gut. And figuring out how I work best, and with who.”

The Breaks 

Roberts • Walter • Moore 

When three modern groove masters of modern funk and soul-jazz converge, sparks are bound to fly. The Breaks brings together guitarist Eddie Roberts (The New Mastersounds), drummer Stanton Moore (Galactic), and organist Robert Walter (The Greyboy Allstars)—three musicians whose collective groove has shaped the sound of contemporary funk for over two decades.

Rooted in the tradition of late-’60s organ trios and hard-hitting boogaloo, The Breaks pushes the sound forward with deep-pocket rhythms, tight arrangements, and fearless improvisation. Eddie Roberts’ sharp, melodic guitar work dances effortlessly over Stanton Moore’s explosive New Orleans-infused drum grooves, while Robert Walter’s signature Hammond organ tones tie it all together with grit and soul.

Between them, they’ve logged countless tours, recorded landmark albums, and collaborated with a who’s-who of the modern jam, funk, and jazz worlds. But in The Breaks, the chemistry feels spontaneous—three kindred spirits locking into a groove and letting it ride.

From sweaty club sets to major festival stages, The Breaks deliver a sound that’s both deeply rooted and constantly evolving—a raw, joyful celebration of rhythm and musical conversation.

 YOUNG DUBLINERS
After thirty years as one of the world’s leading Celtic Rock bands, The Young Dubliners have begun work on their tenth studio album (with longtime producer Irish-born Tim Boland) while still maintaining their busy tour schedule.

the forests and mountains of the American Pacific Northwest.Ockham’s Razor has built a reputation for breaking boundaries in the world of Celtic and folk music.

They have opened for acts such as George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Eggy, Big Something, Spafford and many more.

DUSK DEPT.
No names. No faces. Just sound.

Dusk Dept. is a seven-piece collective emerging from the deep corners of the modern funk underground…a shadowy convergence of musicians whose fingerprints can be found on the grooves of Ghost-Note, Dumpstaphunk, Snarky Puppy, Daryl Johns, and other heavy hitters in the lineage of rhythm.

Formed under the dim hum of late-night sessions and unmarked studio doors, Dusk Dept. keeps its members hidden beneath black hoods, trading ego for atmosphere, and identity for collective pulse. Onstage, the robes blur every boundary: between player and audience, between band and ritual, between now and the fever-dream memory of some after-hours sermon you can’t quite recall.

Their debut, a self-titled album arriving in May 2026 on Ear Up Records (founded by Jeff Coffin of the Dave Matthews Band), sounds like the meeting point of the sacred and the filthy; analog funk baptized in mystery. Seven players. Seven voices. One department in charge of the night shift.

Dusk Dept. doesn’t announce itself. It appears… a flicker of brass, a pulse of bass, a blur of motion under dim lights. Then it’s gone, leaving behind only sweat, echo, and questions.

LYRICS BORN
Lyrics Born relocated to the United States from his birthplace of Toyko, Japan right around the time Hip Hop was exploding on the East Coast.
 
From the moment he heard Sugar Hill Gang’s 1980 classic “Rapper’s Delight,” the Bay Area Hip Hop luminary knew he’d found his calling.
 
Twenty-five years later, LB has obliterated the stereotypes of what an MC is “supposed to” look like and captured the hearts of countless fans who gravitate to his distinctive voice. He’s now the only Asian-American MC to release 10 studios albums and the first to play major music festivals like Coachella and Lollapalooza.
 
From his Quannum Recordings debut with Latyrx,1997’s The Album, to 2003’s seminal solo album Later That Day, he’s consistently pushed the boundaries of his craft. His newest project, Quite A Life, is like the exclamation point on his milestone year.
 
“Ten albums is a lot for any artist, let alone an indie artist who colored outside the lines, so to speak,” LB says. “I'm just appreciative there was always somehow a path for me, no matter how impossible it seemed — either on paper or in practice.”
 
As the first Asian-American to release a greatest hits compilation, he’s pumped out multiple smash singles across four official studio albums. From “Stop Complaining” to “Callin’ Out” and “I Like It, I Love It” and “I Changed My Mind,” his material has always retained a musically eclectic feel.

ALWA GORDON
Alwa first fell in love with Hip-Hop when he heard Tupac’s “My Ambition as a Rider.” Having received the CD from his older brother, it changed his life forever. Growing up in Santa Cruz CA, a small beach town, Alwa drew from the influences of his childhood, a son to a single mother with a missing dad. He began writing and recording music at just 16. In 2012, through a mixtape called “The 11th Hour.”, Alwa gained major label attention, which led to a studio session with Grammy award winning singer/songwriter “Poo Bear”. After getting an inside look at the music industry, Alwa spent the next 4 years working on his craft, honing his stage performance and live delivery. His focus, telling his story in a way that captivated audiences. In 2016 he established his own creative label “88 Over Everything”.

ZEPPARELLA
How to honor the legacy of a band deemed sacred? To tread on holy ground is perilous, and must be done with the intent and spirit of a disciple—Pay attention to the intricacies of the magic, explore the far ends of the innovation, strive for ever-growing ability, and let the purity of the love for the music drive it all. 

Drummer Clementine is the founding member of ZEPPARELLA. From the beginning of her musical career, her goal has been to be onstage every night. The pursuit of that goal has led Clementine to constantly tour the US and Europe in projects as diverse as Bottom, AC/DShe, The House Of More, The Solid, Francis Bakin, Stars Turn Me On and Beaux Cheveux

The profound musical connection established with Gretchen Menn (guitar), Holly West (bass), and Anna Kristina (vocals) creates the bond required to do this great music justice.  It was under the tutelage of classical guitarist Phillip DeFremery, a student of Andrés Segovia, that guitarist Gretchen Menn began her path on the instrument. Playing with tireless passion and constantly seeking out new challenges, her projects are often unconventional, genre-bending expressions combining elements of classical, rock, progressive, jazz, and metal.

Bassist Holly West began her musical journey full-steam ahead, and more recently than her stellar playing belies. Her unstoppable will and drive have truly propelled her to this moment and her place in the powerhouse Zepparella. A self-taught bass player, she is also a blossoming vocalist with rich rock pipes. Her time on stage has been well spent, developing an impressive attack, impeccable feel, and a technique which seems to have come completely naturally to her, not to mention her dazzling stage presence and joyful performance style.

Singer Anna Kristina is a soulful, fiery, and rocking vocal powerhouse who has stepped into Zepparella’s Plant spot for a second time. Anna was with the band for 5 years, became known for her performance in the band’s 10 million-view “When The Levee Breaks” video, took a 6-year hiatus, and now returns in 2018 to front the band. Her career has spanned acoustic, jazz, soul, rock, and her charisma and power delivers captivating performances every night. About her brilliant harp playing she says: “getting a chance to blow on the harmonica is an added bonus! Plant isn’t just a singer he’s a musician. He brings his blues background and natural percussive feel to his harmonica playing as well and I love getting lost in that. Playing the harp allows me to express on a whole different level and it’s so freeing.”

WINE LIPS
Wine Lips is pure chaos. The Canadian garage punk psych rockers know a thing or two about getting loud and rowdy, and their ear-scorchin’, headbangin’, adrenaline-pumpin’ music rips so hard and fast it’ll feel like you’re being launched clean out of reality.

The band’s been givin’r since 2015. What began as a part-time project between Cam Hilborn (vox, songwriter, guitar) and Aurora Evans (drums) got cranked right up to a full-blown international shredfest over the last decade. They’ve quietly become one of the most successful independent rock bands to emerge from Canada in a generation. Wine Lips started out in and around Toronto, expanded to Ontario and Quebec, then knocked out a cheeky international tour in Hong Kong and China in 2018. From there, like their music, they never slowed down. They’ve ripped hundreds of sets all across North America, Europe, and Asia, playing big fat often sold-out shows at some legendary venues. For three years, they were pretty much always on the road — right up until the end of 2024 when they decided to chill a bit on all the touring to focus on writing their new record TV Dinner.

“Now that’s what I call music!.” – Iggy Pop BBC Radio

“It's pure adrenaline, it's noise, it's intense, it's refreshing, and it feels life-giving. The garage-psych band's new album is, for all intents and purposes, pretty fucking crazy.” – Exclaim!

“There’s a sensuality and strong sense of controlled chaos that these Canadians bring to life on the record.” – New Noise Magazine

BUDDY WYNKOOP
How to describe Buddy Wynkoop? I dunno…cram Parquet Courts+Devo+Fugazi and a dash of IDLES into a half-empty jar of crunchy-style JIF (old school glass, no plastic) then send that jar rolling down Portland’s SW College St. until it bounces and smashes all over the asphalt. Make a PBJ with the wreckage. Stuff the whole thing in your mouth and wash it down with Monster Energy. Or the beverage of your choice.

THE MOTHER HIPS
San Francisco, CA: The Mother Hips are back with a new album, When We Disappear, a compelling new studio album released January 27, 2023 on Blue Rose. Based in Northern California, the Hips headed to New Mexico, spending time at Ghost Ranch before settling in at Jono Manson's Kitchen Sink studio in Sante Fe in late 2021 for the sessions. Self-produced, When We Disappear features nine new tracks co-written by co-founders Tim Bluhm and Greg Loiacono — a collection of lit-psych rock songs Inspired by psychology and literature — as well as a raw, garagey cover of Buffy St. Marie’s 1964 addiction song “Codine.”

Hailed by the San Francisco Chronicle as “one of the Bay Area’s most beloved live outfits,” The Mother Hips' headline and festival performances have became the stuff of legend, finding them sharing stages with everyone from Johnny Cash and Wilco to Lucinda Williams and The Black Crowes. Rolling Stone called the band “divinely inspired,” while Pitchfork praised their “rootsy mix of 70’s rock and power pop,” and The New Yorker lauded their ability to “sing it sweet and play it dirty.”

HIGH STEP SOCIETY
High Step Society is a high-flying, beat-dropping, big band dance party with an ear to the past, and both feet on the gas. Sultry and effervescent, low-down, dirty and mean, this dynamic EDM-infused seven-piece band is bringing jazz back to the dance floor where it belongs.

Based out of Portland, OR, and New Orleans, LA, High Step Society has been a favorite of the US festival scene since it’s creation in 2015, touring year-round and sharing stages with a wide range of acts from Beats Antique and The Polish Ambassador to Zion I and Dirtwire. Their fusion of hard-hitting beats with seductive vocals and horns has made them a top performance choice for dancers and burlesque and circus artists worldwide. Capturing the spirit of the Jazz Age and launching it a century forward, this band breaks down the divisions between us and replaces them with the irresistible urge to dance together. 

High stepping is a state of mind, and a society to be a part of. Dress yourself up nice, jump on the dance floor and lift your best foot towards the sky. Let’s ride this wave together towards better times.

FLORATURA
Floratura invites listeners to float down stream and melt into an oasis of wonder and discovery. Seamlessly blending soaring jam-band vibes and bouncy neo-soul.

ANDREW DUHON
Born, raised, shaped, and inspired by his hometown of New Orleans, Louisiana, Andrew Duhon tours performing songs that are as much about recognizing our shared stories as they are about telling his own. 

Rounding out the touring trio are two of his most trusted collaborators—Myles Weeks (James Hunter Six, Eric Lindell) on bass and Jim Kolacek (Feufollett) on drums. 

Blending the gritty, bluesy, folksy, country sounds of his home with the experience of traversing the country and immersing himself in the broad array of cultures across the American landscape, Andrew’s music creates real connection between former strangers through song. As he puts it, “When a song written by a stranger heals you, even in the smallest way, that's a connection beyond entertainment.”

Andrew has shared stages with Guster, Blind Pilot, and Amos Lee, among others, and has performed at major festivals across the US including New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Milwaukee Summerfest, Bonnaroo, and Americanafest. 

His music has been featured in Rolling Stone Magazine, Jam In The Van, Meat Church, as well as in Glide Magazine, No Depression, and American Songwriter.

PARLOR GREENS
Emeralds, the sophomore long player from Parlor Greens, finds the trio serving up a beautifully curated sampler of what funky organ music can be. On Parlor Greens’ debut LP In Green We Dream, they announced their existence boldly to the welcoming arms of funky instrumental fans around the world. Now, two years later, they’re back to up the ante. Three true masters of their respective crafts: Tim Carman (formerly of GA-20) on drums, Jimmy James (True Loves) on guitar, and Adam Scone (Scone Cash Players, The Sugarman 3) on organ. Seasoned and soulful pros coming together to make infectiously funky instrumental jams.

Parlor Greens are truly in top form: tour tight and more confident than ever in who they are and where they’re going. The album’s opener, “Eat Your Greens,” kicks the doors off with a Charles Earland-inspired four on the floor beat, with Jimmy and Scone driving the tune down the tracks like an overloaded freight train, it simply cannot be stopped. On “Red Dog,” the group channels the absolute heaviest shade of early R&B with Jimmy’s crunchy guitar paving the way for both he and Scone to take scorching solos. “Lion’s Mane” shows a slightly more sophisticated side of the trio, with nods to one of Scone’s organ mentors, the incomparable Dr. Lonnie Smith. Not to be outdone by his bandmates, Tim Carman shows off why he plays the best shuffle this side of the Mississippi on “Letter To Brother Ben,” a gospel-tinged shuffler.

CLAY STREET UNIT
Hailing from Denver, Colorado, Clay Street Unit mixes the acoustic instrumentation of bluegrass and folk with the amplified energy of Americana and country.

Driven forward by drums, sharp songwriting, and the chemistry of good friends and musical brothers who've shared countless hours on stage, Clay Street Unit's music doesn't just nod to the band's influences; it reshapes them into something new. With their debut album on the horizon, Clay Street Unit are staking their claim as torchbearers of something both fresh and familiar, nodding to the foundations of American music while sharpening their own progressive edge.

LEGEND ZEPPELIN
Legend Zeppelin is hands down the greatest live rendition to the music and performance of Led Zeppelin anywhere in the world! From the unmistakeable primal screams of August Young, to the majestic, incendiary and inspired guitar work of Joshua Cuevas, to the extraordinarily mesmerizing rhythm section of Cody Tarbell and Alexis Angel, this band proves why they are more than just a “tribute”, but the dawning of a new era of contained chaos, sonic fusion and cosmic energy that will leave fans truly in awe of what they are witnessing before their very eyes. This isn't a typical tribute band built soley on knowing a catalog of music, but four musicians who play off of and with each other to create a unique performance each night, just as Led Zeppelin did. Leaving no detail unattended, from the stage setup built upon the same exact equipment used by Led Zeppelin down to the spontaneous energy of the songs, the Legend Zeppelin show is truly the only thing today that can be compared to actually seeing Led Zeppelin live in their time.

SOUTHERN CULTURE ON THE SKIDS

Southern Culture On The Skids has been consistently recording and touring around the world since 1983. The band (Rick Miller – guitar and vocals, Mary Huff – bass and vocals, Dave Hartman – drums) has been playing together for over 30 years. Their musical journey has taken them from all-night North Carolina house parties to late night TV talk shows (Conan O’Brien, The Tonight Show), from performing at the base of Mt. Fuji in Japan to rockin’ out for the inmates at North Carolina correctional facilities. They’ve shared a stage with many musical luminaries including Link Wray, Loretta Lynn, Hasil Adkins and Patti Smith. Their music has been featured in movies and TV, parodied by Weird Al, and used to sell everything from diamonds to pork sausage. In 2014 the band was honored by the Southern Folklife Collection at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill with an exhibition featuring their music and cultural contributions. Their legendary live shows are a testament to the therapeutic powers of foot-stomping, butt-shaking rock and roll and what Rolling Stone dubbed “a hell raising rock and roll party.”

At Home with Southern Culture on the Skids is the latest full length album from the band and was released in March of 2021. It was recorded during the stay at home period of the pandemic when the band was at home and not touring. The album consists of 11 tracks recorded and mixed in Rick Miller’s living room with some additional tracks recorded at his studio, The Kudzu Ranch.

The first radio single off the album is “Run Baby Run”—a rocking number with deep garage roots. SCOTS bassist Mary Huff provides an urgent vocal while the band pulls back the throttle on a full race fuzz fest—cause she’s gotta to go fast! Run Baby Run!

The other songs on the album are a combination of the band’s unique mix of musical genres: rock and roll, surf, folk and country—all a bit off-center, what Rick proudly calls “our wobbly Americana”. Rick goes on, “We put a few more acoustic guitars on this one, as you would expect if you recorded in your living room, but it still rocks like SCOTS. So put your headphones on, get in your favorite chair/sofa/recliner, put on “At Home With” and let’s hang out for a while.”

HOLY WAVE

In Ensenada, Mexico, where the Pacific horizon cuts a clean, unwavering line, Holy Wave recorded their latest full-length, i’m DADA, a record that feels both expansive and newly concentrated for the subterranean pop four-piece. Stepping outside the United States was less a retreat than a shift in perspective, creating distance to recognize a new sound that had been slowly taking shape among them. i’m DADA quickly revealed its character: more propulsive, more candid, and their most structurally deliberate work to date.

Working alongside experimental duo Lorelle Meets the Obsolete at their studio El Derrumbe the sessions folded community into the album, though its emotional core had already formed over months of pre-production. Half of Holy Wave is Mexican, with roots in the El Paso border region, so recording in Ensenada felt intuitive and relaxed. Joo Joo Ashworth, mixing engineer and longtime friend, also provided a pivotal presence helping crystallize the album’s rhythmic language and subtly expanding the band’s sound. The songs began reflecting conversations about fatherhood and partnership, breakups and estrangement, the queasy acceleration of AI, and what it means to remain present and principled while the world lurches unpredictably forward.

DONAVON FRANKENREITER

For nearly two decades Donavon Frankenreiter has been traveling the globe, first as a professional surfer and now as a musician. Born in Southern California, Donavon spent most of his youth chasing waves, turning pro at the age of 16. 

These days instead of surf competitions, it’s concert halls that bring Frankenreiter to town, where he entertains audiences with his unique blend of laid-back grooves, philosophical lyrics and soulful delivery. 

This year, Frankenreiter is releasing his first studio in 9 years, out September 20, 2024. The album, entitled Get Outta Your Mind, marks the 20 year anniversary of his self-titled debut album.

“Here’s to life!” Fans around the world can be found singing the chorus of the Roger Clyne-penned fan favorite “Mekong” and toasting their glasses in unison to celebrate life through rock-n-roll. But the inspiration for the song dates back to the time Roger went to Taipei, Taiwan, as a college student to teach English during the day and busk with his guitar at night for money.

Today, as Clyne has just released his 11th studio album, he continues to transform his life experiences, inspirations, observations and his own muses into timeless music. And whether he’s wearing his Converse high tops, boots or sandals, Clyne’s blend of punk rock, americana, indie-pop and mariachi influences have made him, drummer PH Naffah, guitarist Jim Dalton and bassist Nick Scropos – collectively known as Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers – one of America’s best live rock-n-roll bands.

Starting with the seminal Tempe quartet, The Refreshments, Clyne and Naffah put the fun in rock & roll during the 90s grunge era with a sense of humor. They also started what would become a trademark sound on all future albums by adding mariachi horns, something Clyne was influenced by while in college studying Cultural Anthropology with an ethnography study of mariachis during a three-month Spanish-immersion stay with a local family in Ensenada, Mexico.

JON SPENCER
Jon Spencer is a major figure in noise rock and alternative rock circles known for his gritty, combustible songs, fiercely minimalistic guitar work, and over-the-top performing style. Spencer first made his name in the mid-'80s with combative noise merchants Pussy Galore (best heard on the 1987 album Right Now!), whose raw, purposefully off-putting style and deliberately offensive lyrics made them one of the most polarizing bands of the day. After Pussy Galore's breakup, Spencer launched the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, whose frantic but wildly energetic style mixed elements of punk, R&B, blues, and garage rock into a raucous, celebratory attack that made them one of the best live acts of their day. The band captured the essentials of their sound on Extra Width (1993) and Orange (1994), while they embraced elements of hip-hop and electronics on Acme (1998). While Spencer's approach was easily recognizable, he was able to fuse his ideas with a variety of collaborators, including the raw R&B sound of Boss Hog, the fractured roots rock of Heavy Trash, and the deep but idiosyncratic blues wailing of Spencer Dickinson. After the breakup of the Blues Explosion, Spencer reintroduced himself first with a solo album, 2018's Spencer Sings the Hits, and then by launching a new band, Jon Spencer & the HITmakers, whose raw, noisy rock was documented on 2022's Spencer Gets It Lit. Spencer teamed up with the bassist and drummer of the Bobby Lees for his third solo effort, 2024's Sick of Being Sick!

GENRE IS DEATH
Genre Is Death, a limitation-destroying noise band formed by Ty Varesi (guitar, vox) and Tayler Lee (bass, vox). Their sound is abrasive yet melodic, using heavy distortion, dissonant riffs, and reverberating vocals to create music that feels both minimal and overwhelming. While comparisons to Sonic Youth, Pussy Galore and Teenage Jesus and the Jerks are inevitable and quite welcome, Genre is Death build’s on NYC’s legacy without repeating it… eschewing nostalgia and nihilism in favor of total sonic liberation.

THE GODDAMN GALLOWS
In 2004 The Goddamn Gallows began their rough and tumble voyage  and haven't looked in the review mirror since. Leaving six studio  albums in their path, they have been reinventing their music with  every record. Spit from the heart of America's Rust Belt, arising from a  night of flophouse violence. Drifting across the states, they cemented  their sound in Portland, OR and later in Los Angeles, CA, where they  lived in abandoned buildings, squatter camps, storage units and  shoebox apartments. In 2007, they left everything behind and spent  the next four years living out of whatever vehicle would get them to  the next town. Building upon their original sound of twanged-out,  punk rock "gutterbilly" (Life of Sin 2004 and Gutterbillyblues 2007),  they began picking up stray musicians along the way and adding to  their sound; washboard, accordion, mandolin and banjo (Ghost of th’  Rails 2009 and 7 Devils 2011) creating a sound referred to as  "hobocore", "gypsy-punk" or "americana-punk", while never being  stuck in any one sound. Enter 2018 and The Goddamn Gallows have  reinvented themselves once again with The Trial. From rockabilly,  psychobilly and punk rock, to bluegrass and metal, The Trial infuses  disparate sounds into a new strange recipe of seamless genre bending  profundities. Chock full of impromptu antics of the shocking variety  and hauntingly eclectic instrumentation, The Goddamn Gallows have  made legions of fans with their legendary, live shows. The Goddamn  Gallows, takes their progression of mixing punk rock, bluegrass,  psychobilly, and metal to a whole new level! The Goddamn Gallows  have now partnered with Sailor's Grave Records to help deliver the  next chapter of their legacy to the world. The Trial begins now.

THE INCITERS
The Inciters play northern soul music.

Northern Soul takes the Motown/Stax ethic but adds a stronger back-beat with more adventurous production, and The Inciters continue this tradition in grand style. With ten members (sometimes more!) wielding drums, bass, guitar, a full horn section, and three female vocals, The Inciters have no problem filling a room with the powerful sound of soul. The three vocalists lead the band through finely crafted original songs as well as traditional soul music that will get you out of your seat and start to dance!

A-100s
A-100s are a new band steeped n the traditions of ska, reggae and rocksteady, but the players are far from new! The core of the band is Matt Hensley (accordionist of Flogging Molly) and Sean Wheeler (vocalist of Throw Rag)!

Although their best-known projects are known for their distinctive takes on Celtic punk and desert punk, respectively, both collaborators have a deep love of classic Jamaican reggae and ska. Hensley even previously played guitar & keys in the early 90s ska band Spy Kids, several members of whom contribute to A-100s in the studio and onstage. 

Speaking of collaborators, the combined pedigree of the band is truly legendary in the annals of underground music. Members of Mariachi El Bronx, Mad Caddies, Smoke & Mirrors Sound Systes, and folks who have played alongside greats such as Jimmy Cliff, Symarip, Roddy Radiation and even Tom Petty!

TXE FIT
Txe Fit is a Santa Cruz-based Oi! band. The band came together in December 2022 when former Custom Fit members Micky, Mal, Collin, and Sabi reunited for a friend’s birthday celebration, with Matty on drums. What was originally intended as a one-off performance quickly turned into something more, and the band later became Txe Fit. In 2025, the band returned to the studio to record several previously unreleased Custom Fit songs along with two brand-new tracks. Those recordings became Scars & Stories, combining unreleased material from the Custom Fit years with new Txe Fit songs. The album will be released through Longshot Music and Try and Stop Me Records. Txe Fit writes songs about working-class life, inequality, and social and political issues, drawing influence from bands such as Camera Silens, X-Ray Spex, Buzzcocks, Blitz, and others.

DRAGON SMOKE
Dragon Smoke formed in 2003 as a “Superjam” – part of the New Orleans Jazz Fest tradition of putting together a band of musician who don’t normally play together and just see what happens. With the dual vocals of Neville and Lindell, matched with the Galactic rhythm section, the band quickly realized, “We are on to something!”.   The band has played during every Jazz Fest since its inception.   This inception took place at the tiny smokey Dragon’s Den Bar, hence the name – Dragon Smoke. 

The music centers around Lindell’s blue-eyed soul, Neville’s funk and R&B and Galactic’s groove.  Besides annual trips to the West Coast the past 15 years, and a 2013 trip to the East Coast, this band has been strickly playing around New Orleans, LA.  With everyone in the band being a leader in their own, it is a rarity to get this band together.  And when it does, it shows that these guys are really having FUN!  From the interplay and communication between the members, you would think that Dragon Smoke has been touring continually for years.

Dragon Smoke is looking towards the future, with plans to write and record and to do more touring outside of New Orleans.  So be on the lookout for the Smoke—IF YOU SEE THE ‘SMOKE, YOU KNOW YOU WILL SEE FIRE!

HELL'S BELLES

HELL'S BELLES are first and foremost dedicated AC/DC fanatics. This is what we all have in common. We're all part of a huge community of devotees to one of the greatest rock-n-roll bands in the world. This is who we all are, and this is what HELL'S BELLES strives to deliver with mechanical precision and passionate fury. Endorsed by Angus Young himself (Blender Magazine, 2003), HELL'S BELLES are the closest one can get without actually moving to Australia and joining AC/DC's road crew.

HELL'S BELLES are indeed ALL female, all the way to their rock-n-roll cores, all the time and without exception. Representing for a whole new generation of women that won't be intimidated, HELL'S BELLES actively encourage our legions of lady fans to stand up and be counted, and collaborate with women musicians and causes as a part of the mission towards rock and roll inclusion. Not some down-your-throat feminism, but a proactive support and action spirit towards the continued march towards balancing of the gender scales.

The thousands of shows HELL'S BELLES have played around the world, including Jordan, Singapore, Japan, Canada, and the good ol' USA (including Alaska), have become legendary nights of epic proportions. Consistently sexy and sold-out shows – there's not a HELL'S BELLES audience that hasn't been blown away by the raw power, attention to AC/DC details, and undeniable appeal that these bad ass belles deliver with undying devotion. From the Angus stripping  “Bad Boy Boogie" to “Dirty Deeds" to "TNT", not to mention AC/DC's landmark hits "Highway to Hell", "Thunderstruck", and "Back in Black". The marathon set lists change to include a fresh variety of classics, but the perfection and passion of the show never dies.

It's an all out rock-n-roll assault that leaves you both satisfied and begging for more. And, more you'll get as HELL'S BELLES keep conquering new cities, new states, and new countries. They'll be in your back yard bringing AC/DC in sound and spirit to you with their recording VOL. II,  so you can always count on taking a little piece of HELL'S BELLES home with ya.

HELL'S BELLES – committed, ferocious, meticulous women rock musicians delivering authentic AC/DC to the unbelievably supportive and wicked awesome fans. All day and all night long, all over the world, pitch perfect AC/ DC delivered with a highly charged vigor.

Let there be rock!

BUCK MEEK
A gleaner of the forgotten, Buck Meek tips over the familiar and turns the unknown into a companion. On The Mirror, the artist’s fourth solo record and second album released by 4AD, there’s a tender power, countered by immutable vulnerability. With an uncanny curiosity, Meek conjures twin worlds to reveal the uniqueness in the mundane. Inviting in reflection as collaborator and demon as friend, The Mirror doesn’t seek to know but to ask, looking to the shape of a question rather than the illusion of its answer.

Meek grew up in Wimberley, Texas. The grandson of a Shakespearean scholar grandmother and Faulkner scholar grandfather; the son of a child psychologist mother and glass sculptor father; and teenage protege to an old guard of mystic Texas songwriters and musicians, outlaw poets, acid hillbilly jazzers, and gutbucket guitarists. Meek’s first gig was at thirteen, playing rhythm for the Memphis bluesman Brandon Gist, kicking Gist's old amp when it would short out on stage. The artist went on to cut his teeth playing Manouche, Romanian waltzes, ragtime, western swing, rock and roll, and his own songs in bars, icehouses, square dances, pie socials, cowgirl kabuki theaters, fire dances, and acrobat squats in high desert mission churches. He moved to Boston to study jazz, and quickly found community in other young “jazz musicians” who really just wanted to write songs and play rock and roll at house shows. Later, he moved to New York where he met Adrianne Lenker. The two lived in a van while singing their songs across the country before forming Big Thief.

THE SLACKERS
For 35 years, the NYC-based and critically acclaimed Slackers have been touring the world with their blend of Ska, Reggae, and Soul.

Since 1991, the Slackers have released fifteen albums and countless singles, while their 1000s of live performances feed their fans with energetic sets of ecstatic music. 

The Slackers have been called ‘the Sound of New York’ by the New York Times. They were described by Brooklyn Vegan as a “clean mix of Ska, Reggae, and Soul that gets dirtied up by Vic Ruggiero’s tough New York accent.’ 

In April 2022, The Slackers released a new album, “Dont Let The Sunlight Fool Ya” (Pirates Press) which quickly shot to the top of the US Billboard charts.  The first time that a Slackers’ album has charted!  Ironically after 30 years as a band, they qualified as a Billboard  ‘new artist!’ The Washington Post noted that the Slackers  “remain at the top of their game.”  

The chart topping sales of “Dont Let The Sunlight Fool Ya” capped a 2 year comeback of the Slackers.  When Covid stopped live shows in 2020, the Slackers pivoted to livestreams and made 5 full band concerts that were broadcast internationally to an audience of thousands.  After the streams, they stayed in the studio and recorded the tunes that became ‘Dont Let the Sunlight Fool Ya.’

The Slackers capped this comeback with a series of frenetic tours in 2022 and 2023.  They played everything from clubs to festivals in the USA, Canada, Europe, and Brazil.  

They are also currently working on a 20th anniversary reissue of their classic album, ‘Close My Eyes’ for September and on a new single of original music for October.

ANA POPOVIC
“In the 25 years since the release of her debut record, Hometown, tail-gunning blues virtuoso  Ana Popovic has proved herself a force of nature with a vintage Stratin hand.” – Guitar World 

“Ana Popovic Melds Rock, Blues, and Jazz for Fiery Power” – No Depression “A badass with a silver Strat, she performs the heck out of this song [“Worked Up”], owning it  with swagger and grace. … “Worked Up” captures her love of funky grooves plus the edginess  of rocking guitar power. – Rock & Blues Muse 

Los Angeles-based and critically acclaimed guitarist and singer Ana Popovic is set to release her  highly anticipated album Dance To The Rhythm (Electric Heel Records) on September 26, 2025.  Produced by Popovic and Buthel, the album showcases a groundbreaking fusion of groove,  blues, funk, and soul. 

Building on the success of her previous work, Dance To The Rhythm pushes boundaries,  seamlessly blending infectious dance grooves (“Dance To The Rhythm” / “Sho Nuff”) with raw  blues guitar and powerful lyrics. From the soulful "Soul’ution" to the funky "Hottest Ticket In  Town" and the bluesy “Dwell On The Feeling”, "California Chase," the album weaves a rich  tapestry of musical styles, reflecting Popovic's masterful versatility. The track “Sisters and  Brothers” channels a Steely Dan-like arrangement, while “Hurt So Good” brings a contemporary  mainstream flair. The ultimate jam comes in the form of a clever reimagining of Paul Simon’s  "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover."  

Ana says: “One of my biggest strengths on stage is my ability to make people dance. Music  should take you to a place where you can let go, feel the groove, and move. You want music to  grab you, to have a pocket that you can’t resist. —everything else revolves around it. Blues  guitar has never really been part of dance music before, and in that way, it’s revolutionary. Guitar  plays a central role in these tracks, breaking down the boundaries created by time, culture, and  musical traditions. With this album, I’m pushing those boundaries.” For Ana, blues guitar is the  foundation of everything in her music. Yet, she masterfully blends genres, effortlessly shifting  from blues to dance, jam band, funk, pop, and even gospel—it's all part of her evolving sound.
