BRETT NEWSKI Declares War on Music Streaming with new LP “ameriCONa Pt. 1: Educate Freeloaders to Buy Art”In a move that defies industry norms, DIY troubadour Brett Newski will NOT release the album on streaming services.Fusing Alt-Country, Indie Rock, Power Pop, &amp; satirical Folk Punk,&nbsp;ameriCONa Pt. 1: Educate Freeloaders to Buy Art&nbsp;takes a&nbsp;stand against streaming exploitation&nbsp;- no Spotify, no Apple Music, no exploitative streaming services. Instead, the record will be available exclusively through vinyl, CD, live shows, digital download, and limited-edition formats.&nbsp;ameriCONa&nbsp;hits with raw urgency, showing flourishes of Highway 61-era Bob Dylan, Jonathan Richman, plus production in the vein of Velvet Underground.Newski urges fans to purchase music directly—a step toward securing a living wage for artists&nbsp;in an era where streaming royalties have long failed to do so.“For years, we’ve been told that music is free,” says Newski. “But if you don’t support art, the world gets sterile, sad, and everything starts to look like a&nbsp;Wal-Mart&nbsp;or&nbsp;Jimmy Johns. All bands have a very finite lifespan. If you like what they do, buy their records, because odds are they won’t be around next year.”Fans can&nbsp;pre-order the album now&nbsp;at&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.brettnewski.com/">www.brettnewski.com</a>. The first 30 vinyls will be hand-painted, one-of-a-kind art.&nbsp;Performing alongside bands like Pixies, Violent Femmes, Courtney Barnett, Gin Blossoms, Manchester Orchestra, Better than Ezra, Barenaked Ladies, Guster, Toad the Wet Sprocket &amp; Nada Surf, BRETT NEWSKI heads back on the road with Steve “Mr Bicep” Vorass on drums &amp; Sean “Bad Man” Anderson on bass.&nbsp;His new&nbsp;book&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://newskimusic.com/merch/book-piss-in-the-wind-misadventures-of-an-indie-troubadour-vol-1">Piss in the Wind,</a>&nbsp;tells tales of his weirdest shows across Vietnam, Thailand, and Hong Kong before moving to Saigon, Vietnam for two years.

"The new album from the Seattle outfit is a solid blend of Americana, psych and indie-rock. Peter Sumic’s classic storytelling style is driven by a rich sonic tapestry of guitar, mandolin, banjo, pedal steel, harmonica and percussion, making Windfucker (jebivjetar) feel like a perfect companion for a long, dusty road trip."&nbsp;—&nbsp;KEXP Program Director, Chris Sanley"Forest Ray is the epitome of garage rock, a throwback to a time when every band made the most of what they had – particularly when it was very little. The retro-style coupled with the authentic analogue sound make the record all the more hypnotising and engaging." -&nbsp;LOUDER THAN WAR"Forest Ray are good at making the old sound new and the new sound old. As self-proclaimed believers in analog recordings, there is a strange physical component to their music ... their distinct blend of psychedelic rock and folksy Americana, doused with a healthy bit of nostalgia for the 1960s—would make anyone want to smoke some grass and stare at a mesmerizingly patterned tablecloth. Check them out and float.” –&nbsp;THE STRANGER, Seattle “If you want to put a fine enough point on it, Forest Ray’s often rootsy, very handmade sound could be dubbed Americana. But the Seattle band infuses that foundation with trips to the psych-rock well, and some classic pop-song construction. Lead singer/guitarist/principal songwriter Peter Sumic’s terrific, affecting tunes often sound like The Band covering Beatles songs no one knew existed.”&nbsp;- Tony Kay, Artist Home "Seattle's Forest Ray is a dyed in wool analog and psychedelic treat."&nbsp;-&nbsp;CULTURE FIEND

Smooth Rogers is the brainchild of Chicago-based musician, Zac Bron. Combining elements of alt-rock, synth-pop, and funk, Smooth Rogers takes you on a journey through lush soundscapes and danceable&nbsp;grooves.&nbsp;Zac grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan, moved to Chicago in 2018, and quickly became involved in the music scene there. After playing in various bands and leading other solo projects, the idea to start Smooth Rogers came about in 2021. Since then,&nbsp;Zac has released two albums, with a third on the way, set to release in the fall of 2025. While Zac is the primary songwriter and instrumentalist in the studio, they are joined by a group of musicians at their shows that take the songs into new sonic territory.&nbsp;

Since 2018, GA-20 has been at the forefront of a traditional Blues revival. The dynamic throwback trio have long been disciples of the place where traditional Blues, Country and Rock ‘n’ Roll intersect. “We make records that we would want to listen to,” says guitarist Matt Stubbs. “It’s our take on the song-based traditional electric Blues we love.” Stubbs, along with guitarist &amp; vocalist Cody Nilsen and drummer Josh Kiggans, strive to bring traditional Blues to the front lines of the modern roots music scene. “The focus for us has always been on the story, the melody, and on creating a mood,” Stubbs continues. “Traditional Country and Soul have all had these massive recent revivals. We want to be part of doing that for traditional Blues music.”GA-20 has drawn inspiration for their old-school sounds from the music they love by artists such as Otis Rush, J.B. Lenoir, Howlin’ Wolf, Junior Wells, Hound Dog Taylor, Earl Hooker, Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson and so many others. Performing with what feels like reckless abandon, GA-20 brings a timeless immediacy to every song they play with a sound that continues to grow and evolve. The band uses vintage instruments and amps to produce their authentic sound, and favours traditional recording techniques, like recording live off the floor together in one room, to help recreate that energy and sonic connection.In their short history, GA-20 have been 3x #1 Billboard Blues chart toppers, 4x Boston Music Award winners for Best Blues Act, and have received multiple wins and nominations at the Blues Music Awards, Blues Blast Awards, New England Blues Awards, and have ascended streaming and radio charts at home and internationally. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://Medium.com">Medium.com</a> has appropriately declared, “This is the kind of music that travels through time while taking from the era where it was born and turning it into something fresh. Dirty and raw…timeless and modern.”

Milwaukee indie rockers The Hatchets and Vanity Plates have a lot in common. Both band's released stellar sophomore albums in 2024; both&nbsp;bands share a love of Gillian Welch and ‘Emotions and Math’ by Margaret Glaspy;&nbsp;and both bands share a penchant for introspective lyrics, jagged guitar solos, and bad jokes. It only makes sense that eventually they’d share a stage. Join us Jan 16th for an intimate heavy hitter double header with two of Milwaukee’s best!

Won't you please join us in celebrating the harmonic riches of our local community while supporting recovery efforts in Southern Appalachia? So much incredible music and culture has arisen from those holler mountain homes. Let us honor that which may or may not be in our blood, but surely is in our bones. If you've had an eye on folks like Beloved Asheville and Rising Appalachia in the wake of Hurricane Helene you've had a glimpse of both the utter devastation and the immeasurable heart and determination on display in the region. When our material world comes apart at the seams all we really have is each other. We still have so much to be grateful and joyful for as we find our way in these shifting times. Looking forward to filling Falcon Hall with a whole lotta love and some dang good music.
