Steve Forbert - 2/9/2023

These are songs for the head, the heart, and the heartland, from the acoustic funky-tonk of "Please Don't Eat the Daisies" to the Tom Petty-worthy "Say Hello to Gainesville," which salutes the head Heartbreaker himself. It's an album that celebrates the art found in the everyday, created by a legacy songwriter with plenty of fuel left in the tank. Steve Forbert is still moving through America, and with his latest album, he takes us with him.

Crash Test Dummies - 2/18/2023

The Crash Test Dummies are (and were) unique and weird (in a cool way) among '90s pop stars who are still raging. There's the uncommonly deep baritone of lead singer Brad Roberts (which he attributes to a fictitious third testicle) and a lyrical lexicon with words like “bronchi,” “phalanges,” and “nomenclature."

Guster - 4/4/2023

Look Alive is our 8th album. The bulk of it was recorded in a vintage keyboard museum in Calgary AB, during a January stretch when the temperature reached 30 degrees below zero. We ended up in Canada because our British producer, Leo Abrahams, couldn’t turn around an American work visa fast enough, and we feel lucky to have discovered Studio Bell at the last minute.

Father John Misty - 4/23/2023

Father John Misty returns with Chloë and The Next 20th Century, his fifth album and first new material since the release of God’s Favorite Customer in 2018.

Rufus Wainwright - 05/04/2023

A Rufus show is a breathtaking musical exhibition that has its fair share of hilarious moments and memorable anecdotes. Whether he’s displaying his more mature side or sharing the often brilliantly lusty and even bratty music from his younger days, he never loses his impish sense of humor, taste for lavish arrangements, and poignant, confessional lyrics that are a Wainwright family tradition.

Jimmy Dore Live! - 05/28/2023

“Jimmy Dore is outrageous and outraged, bothersome and bothered, a crucial, profane, passionate voice for progressives and freethinkers in 21st century America.” – Patton Oswalt The Jimmy Dore Show is a comedy lifeline for people on the left and right (but definitely NOT the center) who are sick of bought politicians and gaslighting corporate journalists manufacturing consent for wars.
