Wild Buffalo Presents&nbsp;Rico Nasty&nbsp;with special guests&nbsp;Tuesday, September 29th&nbsp;Wild Buffalo&nbsp;7:30pm doors | 8:30pm show | 21+&nbsp;<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/2OaHYHb2XcFPvqL3VsyPzU?utm_source=generator&amp;amp;si=0c53016d138242bb" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="480" width="640" style="" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="spotify"></iframe-embed>From the moment she arrived, Rico Nasty stood out. Since her breakthrough as a teenager from PG County, Maryland with her own signature blend of aggressive bars and bubbly melodies, the artist born Maria Kelly has been an iconoclastic presence in the rap game. She’s been drawn from the jump to the juxtaposition of hard and soft, countering her sweet-and-sour Sugar Trap sound with the vocal cord shredding mosh-rap that she popularized. Back then, label executives called her weird for songs like 2018’s paradigm-shifting “Smack A Bitch,” which kicked open the doors to a dominant new era of “rapper as rockstar.” At a time when female rappers dressed like WWE wrestlers, Rico was serving Sex Pistols meets Rainbow Brite. Still, for the better part of her decade-plus career, industry bigwigs advised her to try something different while other rappers dabbled in Rico’s style and sound. Scan your favorite playlist and you’ll hear a generation of up-and-coming rappers inspired by Rico’s balance of high-femme trap-pop and nu-metal rage rap. But for a while, the 29-year-old innovator found herself caught up in other people’s expectations. “I feel like I shot myself in the foot a bit, having all these things that people think that I’m good at,” Rico admits today. “I have all these shoes to fill, and I want to please everybody. I want every fan to feel like, ‘She got one on there for me.’” She felt pigeonholed by the idea, as some A&amp;Rs suggested, that her music transcended rap and that she should lean all the way into her “alternative” identity. “But what makes music fun is bars and metaphors,” she explains. “So at the core of everything that I do is rap music, even if I switch the genre.” Besides, Rico adds—punk fashions aside, she’d been outrapping her peers, both male and female, for quite some time now. After too many years of second-guessing her own instincts, it struck Rico that it was finally time to get back to the basics—which meant coming to terms with why people loved her in the first place. “They like my music for bars. They like when I make them laugh,” she says. “They want to hear me boast, because they’re listening to that shit as if it’s them. And they want to hear bangers.” And so, without overthinking it, she reconnected with Kenneth Blume (formerly Kenny Beats), the in-demand producer with whom she made 2019’s groundbreaking Anger Management—the surprise-release mixtape that changed both artists’ careers. “I missed someone that was honest with me,” Rico explains. “And I missed someone who knew me back then, before I had any success. I felt like if I’m going to get back to doing me, I should go back to someone who can be real with me, somebody who’s not too serious or draining. Sometimes it feels like people are trying to chase the shit that we did when we worked together. So it just felt like, if I’m going to make rap music, then I’m gonna do it right and go to Kenny.” Fans will recognize the title of the resulting album, Rx—a project that Rico began teasing back in 2021, then scrapped after it never fully came together. But the original ethos of the project remains the same: “Sonically weird, crazy sounds produced by Kenny and Dylan Brady,” as Rico describes it today. While Anger Management had come together in a whirlwind five-day studio session, the process was different this time around—recording in spurts when she wasn’t busy on her 2025 fall tour or filming Margo’s Got Money Troubles, the Apple TV+ series on which Rico made her long-awaited acting debut alongside Elle Fanning, Nicole Kidman, and Michelle Pfeiffer. The songs that emerged from their four months of studio sessions channeled the spirit of vintage Rico Nasty: dynamic, funny, and fierce. Most importantly, they did away with the people-pleasing of her past—not to mention with the screaming, though she’s not done with that forever. (As Rico says: “There’s a time and a place.”) Among Rx’s tracklist are wild experiments like the Dylan Brady-produced “BUTTHEAD” and bouncy, girly bangers like “CUPCAKE,” but the album’s most quintessential track might be “KISS N MAKE UP.” “That song is exactly how I felt for years, like a dog chasing her tail,” says Rico, looking back on how she often tried to force an evolution when all along, she just had to accept herself. “The title is like, me and all my personalities are fighting—now let’s all kiss and make up and go back to what the fuck we normally do. Stop trying to do all this other stuff and go back to what we know.” Hence the fun bars and chirpy “Yeah, yeah, yeah” adlibs, which real fans will remember from the Tales of Tacobella days. “I think it’s just an ode to my old self—to never change,” says Rico. “Rx is about something being prescribed, and what I’m prescribing is confidence. I think that confidence can make or break you, and I think it’s made and broke me a couple of times,” she adds with a laugh. “But I also think the realest thing that a person can do is be themselves. The ‘x’ in Rx stands for infinity—so I’ma always be here.”

Babes In Canyon (bio)Eloquently blending synth-folk, moody pop, club beats, and soaring vocal harmonies, Babes In Canyon crafts music that is eminently engaging and very much of the moment. Born of a spontaneous writing session during a winter storm blackout, the band wandered naturally into the land of heavy beats, lyrics with an element of storytelling, and synth-folk instrumentation with a twist. Lush and astutely layered, what began as an exploration of the outer edges of Americana has evolved into a cohesive, enchanting artistic statement.With a spate of national tours, festivals, and live performances under their belt, songwriters Nathan and Sophia Hamer conjure up layered soundscapes, “looping keys, beats, percussion effortlessly in an electric, raucous live performance” (Atwood Magazine).Receiving praise from the likes of Under The Radar, Magnet, and Big Takeover, Babes In Canyon’s debut album “The New Loud” released in the fall of 2025. Genre-defying, expertly arranged, and profoundly catchy, Babes In Canyon stands ready to soundtrack your adventures - spontaneous or otherwise.Spotify Instagram TikTok YoutubeAnna Smyrk (bio)Anna Smyrk is a powerful singer and songmaker from Naarm (Melbourne, Australia).

Her first full length record, out now, dives deep into holding joy and pain together; a mix of comfort, sadness, and emotional release. Debuting #20 on the US specialty radio charts, #20 on the ARIA charts for Australia albums and getting multiple spins on BBC Radio, this is a release to watch. It showcases exceptional songwriting, driving indie-rock sounds, sweet alt-folk confessions, heart-wrenching lyrics and Anna's delicate yet powerful vocals, described as “truly astonishing” by Rolling Stone.Shelby Natasha (bio)Shelby Natasha is an alt-folk songwriter and Guzheng player from Seattle. Her music is an invitation into a world of RnB influenced Chinese-Folk Music. Inspired by her upbringing growing up between China and the PNW, her music draws greatly from the folk music of both cultures, reimagined in a modern production context.With ethereal vocals, Guzheng (the Chinese harp), and lofi production she creates a vibe that is both haunting and groovy.

Bit Brigade performs rock covers of full NES/SNES game soundtracks as their gamer speedruns the game live on stage. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.bitbrigade.com">www.bitbrigade.com</a><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.facebook.com/bitbrigade">www.facebook.com/bitbrigade</a> “The word “play” is probably an understatement- these guys shred through the games as expertly as the band wails on their instruments.”-Nintendo Power (11/2006)When was the last time you attended a live music performance with a genuine element of risk involved? And no, going to a Gwar show with a white t-shirt on doesn't count. When Bit Brigade takes the stage your mind will frantically oscillate between "Oh! Agh!! Please don't die!!" and "YES! He's doing it!!" Combining the dread and daring of a live video game speed run with the spot-on technique of a live band covering the musical accompaniment to everything you're seeing on-screen in real time, Bit Brigade will have you swinging between the two mediums. From thrashing about to live renditions of your favorite stage themes, fingers yearning to the sky in a rock 'n roll parody of sea anemones seeming to silently plead, "Please, feed us more fretboard pyrotechnics!," to being locked in stock-still rapture as the infallible maestro of the d-pad, Noah McCarthy, takes on the final boss and risks his video game life under the threat of intense peer scorn (or the reward of night-long glory and a credits score). No matter the outcome, Bit Brigade must play on until the deed is done - which it always is - on the first (and last) try. Once Noah’s NES buzzes on, there's no turning back." - Metalhead Mike of The Shizz, summer 2011

City of the Sun’s new album, Under the Moon marks a return and feels like stepping out of the shadows and into new sunlight.Produced with the legendary Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes, Father John Misty, Built to Spill), the record bends through moods and geogra-phies: the rolling surf of “Angeles,” the spaghetti-western hush of “Bajo la Luna,” the desert rock pulse of "Ciudad del Sol,” the Mediterranean sway of “HotelAlma.” Formed by guitarist John Pita, joined by drummer Zach Para, the band later introduced bassists Matt Fasano and guitarist Marco Bolfelli. City of the Sun creates music that feels at once intimate and cinematic–like a film you can step inside. Since their debut in 2016 with To The Sun and All the Cities in Between, to their 2020 self-titled, and 2022’s Segunda Alma, the band has built a cult-following around the globe.

Avery Marcel Joshua Jones (born October 16, 1992), known by his stage name KOTA The Friend is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer, born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. He got his stage name from the Disney movie Brother Bear and is actually a Native American word “Koda” meaning friend.Kota most recently released his No Rap on Sunday album, which include singles featuring Big Sean and Fivio Foreign. Besides his No Rap on Sunday release, Kota has released a number of albums and EPs. In 2024 he released Once in a Blue Moon, an album collaboration with Statik Selektah, and in the same year he released Lyrics to Go 5, the 5h installment of his popular Lyrics to Go series. Kota is a trained musician as well. He started playing the trumpet in the 4th grade, in a Brooklyn public school. He was able to get accepted into music programs in middle school, high school, and college, as a trumpet player. After Kota left college he started his music career, as a writer and performer.Kota the Friend released his debut mixtape, Palm Tree Liquor in 2016, followed by his second mixtape Paloma Beach in 2017. In 2018, he released his third mixtape, the lengthier Anything, with 2019 marking the release of his first independent studio album, FOTO, followed by the Lyrics to GO, Vol. 1 compilation in January 2020 and then his second studio album, EVERYTHING, in late May of the same year. Kota then went on to release Lyrics to GO, Vol.2 in January 2021 and the collaborative project To Kill A Sunrise with Statik Selektah later in March. Lyrics to GO, Vol.3 was surprise-released in January 2022, with Kota’s third studio album, MEMO, following in July of that year. Kota the Friend has spent the last couple years of his life traveling the world. Kota has remained 100% independent throughout his career—turning down 3 major record labels; instead, creating his own label and apparel brand, FLTBYS (Flight Boys). He frequently cites a do-it-yourself mentality, such as filming his own music videos, recording within a home setup, and producing most of his discography. His mentality was fueled by a desire for freedom and to avoid the sense of musical confinement.

Fusing old school string band instrumentation with rock and roll exuberance, The Brothers Comatose cement their status as standard bearers of a thriving, innovative West Coast roots movement on their intoxicating new album, Golden Grass. Recorded with co-producers Greg Holden and Tim Bluhm, the collection is as diverse and enthralling as the California landscape itself—at times carefree and breezy, at times wild and rugged—with lush, organic arrangements full of rich vocal harmonies and driving guitar, fiddle, banjo, mandolin, and upright bass. While the record marks the group’s first release with newest member Addie Levy, the result is quintessential Brothers Comatose: a warm, joyful reflection on identity and the ties that bind from a band that knows exactly who they are (and exactly where they come from). Founded by Ben and Alex Morrison in 2008, The Brothers Comatose first emerged from San Francisco with their 2010 debut, Songs From The Stoop, which helped earn dates with the likes of Gillian Welch &amp; David Rawlings, Greensky Bluegrass, and Trampled By Turtles. In the decade-and-a-half that followed, the critically acclaimed quintet would go on to release five more full-length LPs, rack up nearly 50 million streams, land festival slots at Outside Lands, High Sierra, and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, tour with Lake Street Dive, The Devil Makes Three, and Yonder Mountain String Band, and build up a devoted following thanks to their raucous live shows and relentless schedule.<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.thebrotherscomatose.com/">https://www.thebrotherscomatose.com/</a>

Tsu Nami

A cross-pollination of numerous influences, including cabaret, spaghetti Westerns, norteño, punk, and the immigrant dance music of Eastern Europe, Colorado-based quartet DeVotchKa,&nbsp;formed in Denver by multi-instrumentalists&nbsp;Nick Urata&nbsp;(vocals, guitar, trumpet),&nbsp;Tom Hagerman (violin, accordion), Jeanie Schroder (sousaphone, bass) and percussionist Shawn King, emerged as unlikely indie heroes in the mid-2000s infusing modern indie music with a global flavor.&nbsp; They found widespread success in 2006 with their Grammy-nominated soundtrack to the hit indie film&nbsp;Little Miss Sunshine. Signing with revered indie, Anti-, the band delivered&nbsp;A Mad and Faithful Telling&nbsp;in early 2008, reaching the number nine slot on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. A lengthy world tour followed, including stops at major festivals like Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Bumbershoot. After doing more soundtrack work, this time for the 2009 comedy&nbsp;I Love You Phillip Morris, the group returned to the studio for 2011’s moody and triumphant&nbsp;100 Lovers. Embarking on another world tour, they collaborated with the&nbsp;Colorado Symphony&nbsp;on the 2012 concert album&nbsp;Live with the Colorado Symphony. Over the next several years,&nbsp;Urata&nbsp;became increasingly involved in his own film composition career, scoring movies like&nbsp;Crazy Stupid Love, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot,&nbsp;Paddington, and the Netflix series&nbsp;A Series of Unfortunate Events. Meanwhile, the band regrouped for a lengthy recording session, eventually returning in 2018 with their sixth album,&nbsp;This Night Falls Forever, this time via Concord Records.

Acorn Projectwith Friend., Mr Noodyl, Freequenzie(Jam/Funk/Rock/House/Psychedelic) Saturday, November 14th Wild Buffalo House of Music&nbsp; 8pm Doors, 9pm Show&nbsp; Acorn Project Bio:&nbsp; Acorn Project began with a risk. After nearly a decade, numerous highly-successful studio and live album releases, over 700 performances on the road touring relentlessly, and appearances at prestigious music festivals and events throughout the West, that risk has proven to be more rewarding than anyone could have imagined. With very little musical boundaries, Acorn Project takes their audience on a unique journey each night. Seamlessly blending deep electro-funk grooves, psychedelic rock, signature soundscapes, and electronic dance music translates to a very unique live experience, one that is filled with the passion brought to the stage at every Acorn performance. That passion is contagious, resulting in the regularly packed houses for this jamtronica act and a high demand tour schedule. The story of Acorn Project only began like so many others. Sam Lax(saxophone/percussion/producer) and Andy Pritiken (lead vocals/rhythm guitar) met in college while studying at Western Washington University in Bellingham, WA. The band was born from basement jam session beginnings in 2004. Acorn Project worked fiercely and tirelessly to define their sound locally as a quartet for nearly three years before releasing their first EP Odd His Sleepy Soar in 2006. Following this release, Acorn Project begantouring as a Pacific Northwest regional act in an old converted shuttle bus. Two years later, boasting a robust, polished sound, Acorn Project – now a sextet – released their first full-length album, We’ll Be Fine in 2008 to a series of favorable reviews. We’ll Be Fine took home Bellingham’s prestigious album of the year award in the What’s Up Awards and charted at #5 on <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://jambands.com">jambands.com</a> and #4 on CMJ, making Acorn Project the new electro-funk band on every critic’s radar. <iframe-embed src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XiF2R63t8P4" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" height="480" width="640" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube" style=""></iframe-embed>

It turns out Yung Gravy gets better with age too. When you think about it, the name Yung Gravy says a great deal. It's perpetually youthful, and it oozes "sauce." As such, Yung Gravy uses his own special recipe to bring originality and positivity to make his one-of-a-kind impact on the genre. Gravy flexes his passion for soul music and oldies in his production, sampling a wide range of musical styles dating from the 1940's to the present-day. Nostalgic and often-jubilant melodies paired with heavy trap drums form the usual canvas for his signature baritone voice-reminiscent of Barry White. Showcasing effortless flows and endlessly quotable lyrics, Yung Gravy paints something truly unique while clearly having a good time doing so. In the span of six short years, Gravy has transformed from Soundcloud stalwart to platinum powerhouse. To date, his accolades include four platinum and ten gold singles as well as 10 sold-out tours across North America, Europe, and Australia. He has collaborated with his self-proclaimed musical heroes, including Lil Wayne, Chief Keef, Juicy J, T-Pain, and the late Young Dolph. Gravy became the soundtrack and unofficial second mascot of the Tampa Bay Lightning and was given an honorary Stanley Cup Ring. He starred in a worldwide commercial campaign with Martha Stewart, and weeks later performed for the VMAs and Jimmy Kimmel Live. Not to mention, he partnered with Audible, Venmo, Samsung, and Jimmy John's for campaigns. Tallying 7+ billion streams and selling 5 million units thus far, he's notched four entries on the Billboard 200, two in the Top 30 of the Top R&amp;B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart, and two on the Top 20 of the Top Album Sales Chart. For all of the swagger and style he exhibited upon his arrival, he managed to become even smoother since his introduction in 2016. After streams in the billions, packed venues, and “side missions" with Martha Stewart, he decided to lock himself in the studio and load up a plethora of certifiably saucy bangers lined up for release.&nbsp;Terror Reid&nbsp;<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/5No9X0ZejwFDnD1dVllwQA?utm_source=generator&amp;amp;si=a7079ac5110d4fe7" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="480" width="640" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="spotify" style=""></iframe-embed>

The band is at work on their next album with US and European tours planned.”

True Loves

Where is my love? Cat Clyde howls, opening her new album ‘Mud Blood Bone’ with abandon. Can’t find my love? It’s not the somber lament of a longing woman, but a feral eruption, the roar of an animal on the edge. Her voice crumples with dismay, a swampy croon over romping keys. I got a hole in my chest&nbsp; / I can’t take the emptiness / Where is my love? It’s the essential question of ‘Mud Blood Bone,’ a void eleven frenetic songs sizzle to fill.&nbsp;The Canadian songwriter’s fourth full-length and first release with Concord Records finds her at a point of personal evolution. “I wrote these songs at the end of a big cycle,” she shares. “Love was not present in my life and I didn’t know where to find it or how to get it back.” Essential to the search, Clyde discovered, was relinquishing old notions. “In the past, I felt like love chained me, controlled me, put me in a cage.”&nbsp;Produced with Drew Vandenberg (Toro Y Moi, Faye Webster, S.G. Goodman) and recorded at Chase Park Transduction in Athens, Georgia, Clyde’s new collection exists in a sonic overlap; the rockabilly grit of contemporaries like Sierra Ferrell, The Deslondes, or Nick Shoulders, meets the vulnerable, folk rock volatility of Big Thief or Angel Olsen. “Drew was the perfect person to help me assemble the players and bring this collection to life,” says Clyde. “Everyone brought their own unique gift to the studio. I create from a place of instinct, and once we all locked in, it felt easy, and we were able to capture the songs live.” Liam Duncan of Boy Golden was another integral collaborator. “He was there from day one demos to the album’s finalization,” Clyde explains, “as a great friend, musician, and anchor to the original sentiment of each song.”Clyde’s foundational relationship with music began through a vent in the floor. “I’d lift the rug up to hear my grandfather playing his fiddle along to cassette tapes in the basement.” This was in North Ontario at summertime family gatherings, the best of which would culminate in impromptu family jam sessions. “I can’t really remember a time when I wasn’t singing.” After a fleeting, childhood stint with the piano, Clyde took on the guitar around age thirteen. “When I discovered Blues music—well—that changed my life.” The riffs of Lead Belly and Robert Johnson were too complicated for her small, preteen hands to master, but they inspired Clyde to write her own songs.&nbsp; She busked through adolescence, joined a punk band called Shit Bats in college, and recorded her first album in a friend’s basement before she graduated. Four full-lengths later, Clyde’s voice vibrates with that ferocious confidence of one who’s been doing this her whole life.‘Mud Blood Bone’ exudes a nomadic independence. Clyde penned some of the songs in her 1973 Boler trailer, parked temporarily on a farm in Ontario, others on a narrow boat in England, and the rest in transit from one festival to another, letting lyrics stream freely from a jetlagged dream state.&nbsp; “Constantly being on the move, having to navigate new environments, it forces me to be present, and to confront my own feelings,” Clyde says. “You can’t hide behind comforts. You have to know exactly who you are, and what you want.”&nbsp;The result is uninhibited, raw, pure; it’s the sound of personal truth discovered in real time. Clyde is cracked wide open and what spills out—equal parts despair, invocation, discovery, and celebration—is the love she went looking for. “When I listen to this album, I know that my power belongs to me. Love lives inside of me. I can always find it.”‘Mud Blood Bone’ was released on March 13, 2026.Dean JohnsonI Hope We Can Still Be FriendsBy Erin OsmonWith I Hope We Can Still Be Friends, his debut for Saddle Creek, Dean Johnson makes a pact with the listener: He will sing you his truth in the most heartfelt and charming way possible, if you promise to keep an open mind.The title partly stems from the playful way the Seattle-based singer, songwriter and guitarist communes with his audiences at concerts. “I hope you’re not afraid to talk to me after the show,” he’ll say, sweetly, before launching into “Death of the Party,” the album’s seventh song. Centered on the “energy vampire” archetype — the exasperating windbag we’ve all encountered at some point — its lyrics are at once intellectually biting and unmistakably hilarious. His tender voice rings out like the ghost of Roy Orbison or a misfit Everly brother.&nbsp;“Words don’t come easily to me / I notice you don’t have that problem / It sounds to me you cannot stop them,” Johnson sings over acoustic guitar strumming, and gentle bass and drums, like the narrator in a dark comedy whose coming-of-age misadventures have made for an excellent film.Johnson spent years tending bar at Al’s Tavern in Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood. There, he encountered folks of all stripes; and regulars enthusiastically murmured about his budding musical greatness — There’s the best songwriter in town! Johnson was a kind of local lore, a long-held family secret, before the singer finally broke out in 2023 with his debut album, Nothing For Me Please, at age 50.“‘Death of the Party’ is a great example of that,” he says of the sociological experience of bartending. “Being in that environment, lyrics did solidify. If I was working on a song, it wasn’t unusual for some new aspect of it, or a line that was too vague, to suddenly come into focus.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I Hope We Can Still Be Friends is essentially an anthology that bridges Johnson’s earliest days as a songwriter with his present-day outlook and abilities. There are songs that have been in his setlists for years, and others that will be new to fans. Each of its 11 tracks contains jocular social commentary or lovingly rendered affairs of the heart. The album’s songs about love and relationships offer another way to interpret its title: as a parting thought to an ex.&nbsp;Like all of Johnson’s cable-knit writing, the title is a clever banner for the album’s dual nature, the thing that binds its tragedy and comedy masks. Johnson explains that he didn’t set out to make a concept album. It’s a coincidence that about half of the album’s songs are a bit sardonic, and the other half are more lighthearted. The singer playfully refers to the former as his “mean” songs, which is why the album’s back cover is adorned with a warning that says “Beware of Dean.”Like John Prine or Kris Kristofferson’s country-adjacent sound, devastating humor and economical profundity refracted through a barroom’s haze, the album is filled with easygoing twang, sad characters, universal truths and the absurdity of everyday life. “Carol” recounts the numb consumption and dissipating cultural attention that is besieging America. There’s a search for optimism amid meditations on dying in a plane crash in “Before You Hit the Ground.” Romance that is best forgotten steers “So Much Better” — only Johnson could weave electroconvulsive therapy into a gentle, chuckle-inducing missive on unbearable heartbreak.I Hope We Can Still Be Friends floats in a liminal plane between timely and timeless, its minimalist instrumentation elevating Johnson’s affecting voice to new heights. Recorded at Unknown Studio in Anacortes, Washington, the record was produced by Sera Cahoone — the Seattle-based singer-songwriter Johnson describes as a “soulmate sibling.” Overdubbing took place at Seattle’s Crackle &amp; Pop!For the sessions, Johnson assembled a small band of friends including Abbey Blackwell (bass), multi-instrumentalist Sam Peterson and Cahoone (drums, backing vocals), who created a familial tone on the already intimate album. I Hope We Can Still Be Friends, with its sharp observations and stirring personal insights, holds space for both intense reflection and emotional release. You may laugh, or cry or both. In this sense, the album is powerful medicine — a way to both expose yourself to and inoculate yourself against the ugly, absurd, existential and heartbreaking. At its core rests a basic truth that is often difficult to remember or accept: Happiness wouldn’t exist without sadness as its counterpart.On his uncanny ability to so clearly see and then encapsulate humanity in all its messy glory, Johnson offers this core memory, drawn from his childhood on Camano Island in the Puget Sound. “I was raised on a bluff,” he says. “I’m not trying to make it sound dramatic, but I did have a sweeping view.”&nbsp;

Wild Buffalo Presents&nbsp;Mason Jennings&nbsp;Saturday, December 12th&nbsp;Wild Buffalo&nbsp;6:30pm doors | 7:30pm show | 21+&nbsp;"I love song craft," says Mason Jennings, a longtime folksinger who has spent over two decades honing his craft both on stage and in the studio. "A song is like a boat on the water, and you're trying to make it float with as few pieces as possible. If you do it right, a song can be very healing."For Jennings, songwriting has always been about creating a personal connection, both with his audience and with himself. Over the years, he’s become known for his unpretentious, emotive approach to folk music, combining introspective lyrics with acoustic melodies. He’s drawn comparisons to the greats of the genre, including Nick Drake, John Fahey, and Tom Waits, but Jennings' sound is distinctly his own, one that blends vulnerability with strength, simplicity with complexity.Born in Honolulu and raised in Pittsburgh, Jennings’ musical journey began with a move to Minneapolis in the late 1990s, where he released his debut album and quickly gained attention for his raw, authentic sound. His contemporary take on classic folk resonated with listeners and fellow musicians alike, earning him fans like Jack Johnson and Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse. Over the years, his steady output of albums has solidified his reputation as one of the leading voices in the folk and Americana scenes.Though his early work focused on solo acoustic arrangements, Jennings has also embraced more adventurous, genre-crossing projects. His collaboration with the synth-based supergroup Painted Shield marked a departure from his usual style, incorporating electronic elements and a more expansive sound. “Being in that band really freed me up as a solo artist,” he reflects. “It allowed me to experiment and return to the acoustic, stripped-back music that first inspired me.”At his core, Jennings is an artist constantly evolving, and his music reflects a deep personal journey. Themes of healing, growth, and self-acceptance have been central to his songwriting, especially in recent years. Following a challenging period of personal upheaval, Jennings explored themes of trauma, recovery, and reconciling his past in his 2018 album Songs From When We Met. His music became a way to process his experiences and find peace within himself, a journey that continues today.For Jennings, songwriting is about much more than just creating music. It is a path toward emotional clarity and personal transformation. "I've learned that it's OK to be my real self," he shares. "These songs reflect the struggle to take care of myself and be the person I truly am. It’s about accepting where I come from, and working to heal old wounds, so I can move forward in a healthier way."As he continues to write and record, Jennings remains deeply connected to his roots in folk music while embracing new textures and ideas. His work, whether with a band or solo, reflects an ongoing exploration of sound, emotion, and the human experience. For him, the process of creating is just as important as the final result, an ever-evolving conversation between the artist and his audience, and between the artist and himself.

Magic Sword is an ageless tale of good and evil told through an ever expanding&nbsp;graphic novel with each volume accompanied by an original, synth-heavy soundtrack as well as immersive live performances. With the three mediums intertwined from conception, together they create an epic experience for those bold enough to bear witness and come away with a deeper understanding of the ultimate hero’s journey. Armed with a musical and visual aesthetic that has its roots unabashedly buried deep in the golden era of ‘70s and ‘80s fantasy and sci-fi, Magic Sword’s followers are called to another plane of existence where the struggle between light and shadow becomes all too real. In this newest installment, The Keeper embarks on a righteous quest to navigate a corrupt world where the sword has been abducted by an evil most foul. Amid the conflict, he seeks to find himself and reclaim what is rightfully his ‘Badlands.’ Originally composed as a soundtrack to a feature film, ‘Badlands’ tells the story of loss and rediscovery of one’s self.&nbsp;The Immortals are:The Keeper of the Magic Sword – red, keyboardsThe Seer of All Truths – blue, guitarThe Weaver of all Hearts and Souls – yellow, drums&nbsp;The Immortals give a direct account of their vision:&nbsp;“In the beginning there was light… and darkness. A creation of perfect balance. As time passed, evil spread over the land like a plague, slowly consuming everything in its path. In the final moments before light was lost to the shadow for all time, a weapon of infinite power was created, the Magic Sword. Thus, restoring balance to the universe.&nbsp;The genesis of things are often small. As the single seed grows to a mighty oak, so too did the path of the Keeper begin as a single choice in an age long past. Once a humble king, they were manipulated into unknowingly unleashing the Dark One.&nbsp;All of reality was torn asunder as the Lord of Shadow was released from their ancient prison, having been bound only by the power contained within the Magic Sword.&nbsp;From that day forth, the King was cursed to be the immortal Keeper of this powerful key. He has been relentlessly compelled for millennia to find the Chosen One who will one day unleash the true power of the weapon and cannot rest until the grand design is seen complete with the Darkness bound once again.&nbsp;Little is known of The Lord of Shadow but death and decay. Since the release from his ancient prison by the hapless Keeper of the Magic Sword, he has pulled all of existence slowly toward himself in a vortex of darkness and destruction. Any wayward soul that he touches is corrupted to their ultimate demise. He uses his followers, acolytes of death, with no more regard than any other, for his reason of being is simply to end all things. Ensuingly, the forces of good have been searching for the Light to push him back into his eternal prison. The key to operate this cell is the Magic Sword; when wielded by the Chosen One, it has the power to return balance to the Universe.&nbsp;The Keeper of the Magic Sword searches endlessly for the Chosen One. With the help of the other Immortals, The Seer of All Things and The Weaver of Hearts and Minds, they are ever trying to stem the tide of the Great Shadow from engulfing all life. Through time and space itself, The Immortals are pulled by the power of the Magic Sword to those who hunger for true justice. Whenever the need is great, they appear with the Magic Sword and a high stakes proposition for those who&nbsp;are pure of heart, perpetually hoping that their search is finally over.&nbsp;This prophesied being contains the ability to wield the power of the Magic Sword and seal the prison that holds Dark One for all eternity. Only then will The Keeper, The Seer, and The Weaver be able to rest. Until the chosen one is revealed, the search continues in this realm and many others throughout all of time and space. In what form will the Magic Sword manifest? Who is the Chosen One? Will it be you? Answers will reveal themselves as the need arises. A tale of high adventure as old as time itself.”

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.” <iframe-embed src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/T9NLgyEFzOo" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="true" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" height="692" width="923" style="" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed>Poi Rogers Hailing from Santa Cruz, CA, Poi Rogers performs award winning American roots music, with Gerard Egan doubling on acoustic and steel guitar and Carolyn Sills on bass.

“I was in a dream, but now I can see that change is the only law.” With a credo adapted from science fiction author Octavia E. Butler, an album title from a collection of metaphysical poetry, and an expansion in consciousness brought on by personal crisis, guitarist and songwriter Shana Cleveland learns to embrace a changing world with unconditional love on News of the Universe, the new full-length from California rock band La Luz. News of the Universe is a record born of calamity, a work of dark, beautiful psychedelia reflecting Cleveland’s experience of having her world blown apart by a breast cancer diagnosis just two years after the birth of her son. It’s also a portrait of a band in flux, marking the first appearance for drummer Audrey Johnson and the final ones from longtime members bassist Lena Simon and keyboardist Alice Sandahl, whose contributions add a bittersweet edge to a record that is both elegy for an old world and cosmic road map to a strange new one. But is there any band in the world more suited to capturing the chaos of change in all its messy beauty than La Luz? Formed by Cleveland in 2012, La Luz is beloved for their ability to balance bedlam and bliss, each new record another fine-tuning of the band’s mix of swaggering riffs with angelic vocals borrowed from doo-wop and folk; a band so reliably great that it makes the huge step forward in confidence and sheer musicality that is News of the Universe all the more formidable. Cleveland, also a writer and painter, has developed into a truly original songwriter with her own canon of haunted psychedelia that, in recent years, has drawn upon the changing landscape around her rural California home for inspiration, notably on last year’s critically acclaimed solo release, Manzanita, a magical realist documentation of her pregnancy and early motherhood that appeared on many year-end lists. Yet if Cleveland has spent years writing songs about ghosts, what lurks in the shadows of News of the Universe is nothing less than death itself. “There are moments on this album that sound to me like the last frantic confession before an asteroid destroys the earth,” says Cleveland.&nbsp; Sonically, the record is all urgency. Songs trip over themselves as if trying to outrun the apocalypse: the breathless pitter-pattering of toms on “Strange World,” the title track’s finger-tangling opening riff drenched in murky distortion. An atmosphere of doom hovers hazily over the Sgt. Pepper-esque baroque pop song “Poppies,” on which Cleveland sings of a wavering orange idyll about to be set ablaze by the late summer sun. On the similarly kaleidoscopic “Dandelions,” she figures the yellow flowers for unsuspecting “little suns” soon to be “turning into moons” as the season marches on. The synthesized sounds used on the band’s last record, 2021’s La Luz, to mimic the languid buzz and crackle of a summer’s day in the countryside have been cut adrift in space—now they are silvery comet tails, dapplings of space dust, showers of stars. These earthy observations are inspired by Cleveland's walks around her home in the shell-shocked days post-diagnosis when she found she had to be very intentional about what she consumed. “Seeing the cycle of life, seeing things grow out of decay, the decay of other living things—was super comforting to me. I had to get to a place where I felt more comfortable with the idea of death,” she says. But for every moment of fear, there is one of pure ecstasy. Shimmery chamber pop song “Blue Moth Cloud Shadow” puddles into a twinkly organ-driven reverie; “I’ll Go With You” starts out with the record’s sludgiest riff before turning into its prettiest song. “Always in Love” is a real power-of-love ballad that serves as the record’s centerpiece and is capped off by a fiery and jubilant guitar solo, Cleveland’s own “November Rain” moment. The powerful sense of openness that permeates News of the Universe is at least partially due to the fact that it is a record made entirely by women—from the performing, writing, and producing all the way through to the recording, engineering, and mastering. “There is something inherently and simultaneously sweet and brutal about womanhood,” says Cleveland. “That is something I hear on this record.” Working with producer Maryam Qudos (Spacemoth), the all-female environment allowed Cleveland to feel safe tapping into difficult places and expressing hard emotions women are socialized to suppress. “Having that kind of connection and that comfort straightaway let us push it further,” she says. “We didn't spend the first half of the session being careful not to offend someone’s ego.” Qudos also helped shape the songs, bringing ideas to the table “that to me felt like choices that I would not normally make, but I was really stoked about,” says Cleveland, pointing out that the dubbed-out effects on “Moon in Reverse” were all Qudos. “Sometimes she would have ideas about the structure of the songs, which a producer often doesn't really mess with. But as a songwriter herself, I think she felt really comfortable with us.” Their working relationship was so organic that Qudos has since joined La Luz full-time on keyboards to replace the departing Sandahl. Unashamedly vulnerable, unabashedly feminine, and undeniably triumphant, News of the Universe is another knockout record from a band so reliably great that it has perhaps led people to overlook how pioneering La Luz really are: women of color in indie music forging their own path by following their own artistic star into galaxies beyond current musical trends, always led by an earnest belief in the cosmic power of love and a great riff. Never is that more true than on News of the Universe, which might be La Luz’s most brutal record to date but also their most blissful. After everything, how could it not?

<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.blindpilot.com/">BLIND PILOT</a> The first Blind Pilot album in eight years, In the Shadow of the Holy Mountain emerged from a period of artistic crisis and the radical transformation of their creative ecosystem. “I went through a few years where I wasn’t able to write—I tried therapy, I read books on writer’s block, I went on writing trips, but nothing was helping,” says Israel Nebeker, frontman for the Oregon-bred band. After stepping back and reimagining his songwriting approach, Nebeker challenged himself to write an entire album in a month, then brought those songs to his bandmates with a newfound sense of receptivity. “I told myself that whatever songs came through in that month would be for the love of the band and music we make together,” says Nebeker. “Instead of being controlling in the studio, I wanted to let the songs live and breathe with the band as an entity. By the time we finished, it was the most joy we’d ever had in making an album together.”&nbsp;Produced by Josh Kaufman (The Hold Steady, David Wax Museum), In the Shadow of the Holy Mountain brings a potent new energy to the elegantly composed folk/indie-rock of past LPs like 2016’s And Then Like Lions. In a profound step forward for the band—whose lineup also includes drummer/co-founder Ryan Dobrowski, bassist Luke Ydstie, and multi-instrumentalist Kati Claborn—Blind Pilot’s fourth full-length unfolds with an exquisite fluidity, fully harnessing the undeniable chemistry. “In the past we’ve always been very serious and intentional about the process, but Josh often encouraged us to throw away our preconceived notions of what the songs were supposed to be,” says Nebeker. “So much of the album came from all of us playing live together, listening to each other and trusting our instincts, and really getting to the core of the song,” Dobrowski adds. The result: the most revelatory expression yet of Blind Pilot’s palpable reverence for music as a connective force.&nbsp;While Blind Pilot intends to tour principally as a quartet in support of the record, the album includes contributions from longtime trumpeter/keyboardist Dave Jorgensen and vibraphonist Ian Krist. In bringing the album to life, the band worked with a rich palette of instrumentation, handling each track with equal parts extraordinary care and unbridled spontaneity. For both Dobrowski and Nebeker—who formed an early iteration of the band as college students in the mid-aughts—those moments of ineffably closeness serve as the lifeblood of Blind Pilot. “For me making this album felt like celebrating being together and still feeling that deep connection that’s been a throughline for our entire adult lives,” Dobrowski says. “One of my very favorite things about music is the way it not only connects us as bandmates, but allows us to connect to an audience—and then within that audience, people end up connecting with each other. It’s this powerful thing that’s unlike anything else, and in a way it’s kind of like magic.” <iframe-embed src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Am3qJ6fMYr4" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="true" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" height="692" width="1230" style="" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed>

Downtown Sounds Encore! 

Refugia Blues, the fifth album from Nick Shoulders, is a record of big ideas and small, intimate moments.&nbsp;These nine songs are rooted in the stylings of Southern traditional music. Sparse, timeless, and unamplified, they're older than the sounds Shoulders saluted on albums like 2023's All Bad, with its loud, whooping anthems for roadhouses and sweaty dancehalls. Here, Shoulders isn't shouting over a band. He isn't bringing a crowd to its feet with dance-ready tempos. Rather, he's exploring another side of his craft by stepping up to a ribbon microphone as a solo performer, delivering each song with acoustic instruments and a voice that's equal parts country croon, Appalachian yodel, and high-lonesome field holler. As he explains it, Refugia Blues isn't just a call to action; it's a call to rest, too.&nbsp;"This is my Nebraska," he says, nodding to Bruce Springsteen's lo-fi acoustic record from 1982. "Some people listen to Bruce for the E Street Band and the big radio hits, but I like the intimacy and rawness of Nebraska instead. I'd like to think of Refugia Blues as a little window into the heart, as opposed to the drumbeat of a revolution."Even so, Refugia Blues resolutely pushes for change. Shoulders' interpretation of American roots music has always been more progressive and punky than the trucks-and-beers conservatism that passes for modern-day country, and he isn't checking his activism at the door anytime soon. Refugia Blues does dive into personal territory, from "Bored Fightin'" (a self-effacing look at Shoulders' reputation as a left-of-center radical) to the heart-on-sleeve love song "Tatum Spring," but it balances the micro with the macro, too. Topics like climate collapse, radical anthropology, generative disruption, and southern identity run throughout the record, adding weight to Shoulders' melodies, balancing his witty humor with topical weight. The purpose, he says, is to utilize his music as "a Trojan Horse that can be accepted by people who don’t hear anything to challenge their sense of comfort and superiority. That's always been the goal — to say what needs to be said, but to intersperse it with joy, humor, and melody."It's a balance that Shoulders has struck in the past, but never so nakedly alone as he does on the opening track, "Apocalypse Never." He wrote the a cappella ballad in the front seat of his band's shuttle bus, taking a hard look at each passing town, noting all the "individualized apocalypses" — houseless encampments, impoverished communities, barren cornfields — that unfolded on the other side of the windshield. "Our world has been through countless apocalypses," he says. "The refusal to give in to the direness of our circumstances, while still acknowledging it, is key to surviving this moment in our history."For Shoulders, singing isn't just a passion; it's practically a birthright. Born to a musical family with deep roots in Arkansas, Appalachia, and Louisiana, he grew up listening to old-world folk music, black gospel, and other sounds that existed long before genres were even invented. "My vocal style is rooted as much in growing up in mountainous Arkansas and having to shout across vast distances to greet my neighbors as it is in my family's very old way of singing," he says. "The way I sing is older than capitalism. Being part of this tradition isn't meant to be regressive; it's meant to be liberating. There were time before cash registers and factories, where people sang like this when they sowed their corn, and I'm trying to embody that."Refugia Blues was recorded in a home studio outside of Fayetteville, Arkansas. Tracked to analog tape in two inspired days and laced with light touches of guitar, banjo, and fiddle, the album explores the slower, softer textures of Shoulders' music without pulling any punches. On his bare-boned cover of Randy Travis' "Diggin' Up Bones," he slows down the uptempo classic to a warbling waltz. On "Deux Hurry," he taps into his inner Roger Miller, using wordplay to make light of the darkness that lives within all of us. On "Hill Folk," he nods sympathetically to the southerners who've witnessed their cultural inheritance become commodified and commercialized over the past half-century. And on the brave, bold "Dixie Be Damned," he sings about "manifest destitution" and the sickness of contemporary American consciousness, packaging everything into a three-and-a-half minute country gem that's as tuneful as it is topical.&nbsp;By bridging the gap between past and present, Shoulders speaks pointedly and poetically about today's problems, even as he nods to styles that existed long before the 21st century. "When you listen to the origins of country music in the '20s and '30s, you're hearing the voice of southern rural dissent against coal companies, repression, and depression," he says. "The old ballad singers of the Ozarks were conduits for current events, documenting not only their own lives, but also dispossession and economic strife on a much bigger scale. Being part of that great stream of rural protest music is something I'm trying to tap into. I want to say things that feel timeless, deep, and rooted, but also touch on topics like endless war and a government collapsing into dictatorship. I want to be part of that tradition of dissent."At once academic and accessible, Refugia Blues isn't just a deep dive into southernness, but also into Shoulders himself. Released during an era of big-budget country-pop smashes, it stands tall as something else entirely: a raw, resolute version of American country music, punctuated with humor and heavy insights, stacked high with songs that go down easy but linger in the minds of those willing to invest the time.

Legend Zeppelin was never built to recreate a single moment — it was built to live inside the same unpredictability that defined Led Zeppelin on stage.In 1969, no two Zeppelin shows were alike. Songs stretched, shifted, and collided in real time — shaped by the room, the crowd, and the band’s willingness to take risks. That volatility wasn’t a flaw. It was the point. Legend Zeppelin operates the same way. Every performance is a new exchange of energy between band and audience. Tempos change. Sections expand. Improvisations appear and disappear. What happens on stage is never repeated... and never will be.Experience songs like “As Long As I Have You” — a track few Zeppelin bands would dare attempt, before it’s removed from the set permanently.&nbsp;&nbsp;As Legend Zeppelin moves into 1970 next year, the sound, the setlists, and the energy will evolve with it. No resets. No recreations. No going back. Just like the original band, the journey only moves forward.One more night.&nbsp;And then 1969 is gone.

Born from skate-punk chaos and shaped by hard-earned lessons, CKY remains driven by the same raw energy that put them on the map. What was once reckless has become refined: the fire’s still there, it’s now just burning with purpose. Guitarist and vocalist Chad I. Ginsburg fronts the band with confidence and conviction, while co-founder and drummer Jess Margera anchors the sound with the power and precision that have always defined the band. The chemistry between them remains undeniable; seasoned, focused, and still unmistakably CKY. The October 2025 release of “Can’t Stop Running” (the first new material since 2019) marked the beginning of a renewed creative chapter for CKY, signaling continued evolution rather than nostalgia. With a worldwide fanbase known as the CKY Alliance and a reputation for high-impact live performances, CKY’s influence on rock and alternative music is long established. Personally invited on tours by Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, and Deftones, the band has proven their versatility and endurance on some of the genre’s biggest stages.In 2026 CKY continues to move forward focused, energized, and actively building on a legacy that refuses to stand still.

Hailing from Birmingham, Alabama, Mountain Grass Unit has rapidly emerged as one of the most electrifying young bands in modern bluegrass, fusing razor-sharp picking, fearless improvisation, and four-part harmony into a sound that feels both rooted and revolutionary. The quartet — Drury Anderson (mandolin, vocals), Luke Black (guitar, vocals), Josiah Nelson (fiddle, vocals), and Sam Wilson (bass, vocals) — first turned heads with their 2024 EP Runnin’ From Trouble, but 2025 proved to be their true breakthrough year. The band logged nearly 100 national tour dates, sold out over thirty headline shows, and delivered standout festival performances at Telluride Bluegrass, DelFest, Northlands, an d WinterWonderGrass.&nbsp;Rolling Stone praised them as the “surprise show” of Telluride, while Saving Country Music declared them the “next big band in bluegrass,” with further national spotlight through exclusive live sessions with Paste, Relix, and No Depression, cementing their arrival on the national stage. Their momentum peaked during IBMA week, where they earned the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Momentum Artist of the Year award, a defining milestone in a year of exponential growth.Now in the studio crafting their next full-length album, due late summer, and fresh off support runs with genre leaders like The Infamous Stringdusters and Kitchen Dwellers, the band continues to expand its reach. Along the way, they’ve shared stages with legends like Billy Strings and Greensky Bluegrass in a series of high-profile moments that underscore the respect they’ve earned from the genre’s leading voices. Mountain Grass Unit isn’t simply riding bluegrass’s current resurgence, they are helping steer it, staking their claim as one of the most vital and forward-looking young bands in American roots music today.

Saliva first exploded onto the hard rock scene with anthems like “Click Click Boom” and “Your Disease,” the latter earning a Grammy nomination. Their major label debut, Every Six Seconds (2001), went double-platinum, followed by 2002’s Back Into Your System, which delivered more charting hits including “Always,” “Raise Up,” and “Rest In Pieces.”Over the years, Saliva has evolved through lineup changes while maintaining their signature intensity. Since 2011, frontman Bobby Amaru has led the band through multiple studio releases (Rise Up in 2013; Love, Lies &amp; Therapy in 2016; 10 Lives in 2018; Every Twenty Years EP in 2021; and Revelation in 2023).In 2023, Saliva suffered the devastating loss of founding guitarist Wayne Swinny, whose legacy continues to be honored through their music and live shows. Reflecting on his passing, frontman Bobby Amaru said, “This band meant more to Wayne than music itself, and he wanted us to continue in its current form.” That spirit of loyalty and perseverance remains at the heart of Saliva’s journey forward.”Most recently, the band released Revelation: Retold (2025), a deluxe reimagining of their 2023 album featuring guest vocals, unreleased tracks, and fresh takes on fan favorites. Tracks like “Time Bomb,” “Horizon,” and “Devil’s World” showcase Saliva’s resilience and creative evolution.

Dogs In A Pile, a band of five twenty somethings with old souls and limitless chops, is waking people up to the timeless and ineffable joys of psychedelic-tinged jazz-funk rock n’ roll. This is one of the busiest touring bands of today, averaging 130 live shows per year since 2022. The road has become their creative engine, generating a rapidly growing catalog of original tunes. Distroid, the band’s newest album, is a 10-song collection featuring long-awaited studio versions of some of the Dogs’ most beloved repertoire. Dogs In A Pile is guitarist Jimmy Law, guitarist Brian Murray,&nbsp; keyboardist Jeremy Kaplan, bassist Sam Lucid, and drummer Joe Babick. In addition, the Dogs In A Pile community includes the Dog Pound, the group’s extended family of fans across the country. Besides being a lyric from the Grateful Dead song, “He’s Gone,” the name “Dogs In A Pile” is an apt description of the five-piece band’s stylistic breadth. The sonic image it conjures is a heap of storyteller Americana, bluegrass, jazz improvisation, eccentric instrumental excursions, pop-rock sophistication, and deep-pocket grooves, ranging from funk to Latin to reggae and beyond. Distroid features material that has already become staples of the band’s live show. These studio renditions have afforded the group a chance to present the compositions just how they envision them. Distroid offers a cross-section of the Dogs In A Pile essence, tight and tuneful four-minute funk and jazz informed psych-rock songs, and then sprawling 15-minute compositions with intricate unison lines, agile genre-jumping, and dazzling improvisation.&nbsp;
