SUMMARY:Joshua Radin
DESCRIPTION:“Radin may be America’s best-kept secret” – American Songwriter\n  \nJoshua Radin emerged in 2004 as an empathetic\, engaging\, and often enthralling troubadour. Over the years\, he’s tallied north of 1 billion streams and moved 1 million-plus albums worldwide. Also\, he scored a gold certification for the single “I’d Rather Be With You.” His music has appeared in over 200 films\, television series\, and commercials. He made multiple showstopping appearances on Ellen (who also enlisted him to perform at her wedding) and Today Show. He has also performed on The Tonight Show\, Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!\, and Conan. Additionally\, he contributed “Brand New Day” to a commercial in support of the troops. This came at the request of First Ladies Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden.  \nHe’s played to sold out crowds around the globe. He has shared the stage with Ed Sheeran\, Sara Bareilles\, Ingrid Michaelson\, Sheryl Crow\, Tori Amos and more. Not to mention\, he’s a staunch philanthropist who supports Little Kids Rock and North Shore Animal League America (NSALA). \nFollowing the release of his 2021 acclaimed album The Ghost and The Wall\, Joshua left his material existence behind. Here\, he grabbed a backpack\, packed his guitar\, and hit the road in search of new stories to tell. Those stories comprise though the world will tell me so\, volumes one & two which were released early 2023. During 2025\, he turns the page on the next chapter of his career and life with his tenth full-length LP. Immersing himself in the process mind\, body\, and soul\, he pored over these thirteen tracks\, perfecting each moment. Musically\, he taps into two sides of his sonic palette\, leaning into soul and singer-songwriter stylings while tracing the journey of a romantic relationship. \nRecommended for fans of Amos Lee\, Ingrid Michaelson\, Ray Lamontagne and Brett Dennen.

SUMMARY:Sam Grisman Project
DESCRIPTION:“authenticity\, originality\, and passion” – The Bluegrass Situation\n  \nA Note From Sam: “The music that my father David Grisman and his close friend\, Jerry Garcia\, made in the early 1990s (in the house that I grew up in) is not only some of the most timeless acoustic music ever recorded\, it also triggers my oldest and fondest musical memories. What I find most inspiring about this material is their camaraderie. Their love and joy for the music simply oozes out of each recording. It is also impressive how deeply they get beneath their favorite songs. Whether they are originals\, covers\, or traditional/old-time tunes\, the material was curated expertly. \n“My goal in starting Sam Grisman Project is to build a platform for my friends and me to showcase our genuine passion and appreciation for the legacy of Dawg and Jerry’s music. By playing some of their beloved repertoires and sharing the original music that our own collective has to offer\, we will also show the impact that this music has had on our own individual musical voices. Ultimately\, there is nothing that makes me happier than playing great songs with my best friends. My hope is to share that happiness with audiences all over!” \nRecommended for fans of David Grisman\, Jerry Garcia\, Béla Fleck and Sierra Hull.

SUMMARY:Keb' Mo'
DESCRIPTION:“soul and passion… consistent good vibes” – American Songwriter\n  \nIt’s a little over 2\,000 miles from Compton to Nashville. Drop the needle on Keb’ Mo’s latest album\, 2022’s Good To Be\, and you can make the trip in under four minutes. \n“I’ve lived in Nashville for the last eleven years\,” says Keb’\, “but Compton has always been my home. Finding a way to connect those two places on this album was a powerful thing for me. It felt like something I needed to do.” \nGood To Be is a celebration of roots and resilience\, of growth and gratitude\, of hope and memory. Here\, the songs draw on country\, soul\, and blues to forge a sound that transcends genre and geography. Then\, he weaves together past and present into a heartwarming tapestry spanning more than forty years of sonic evolution. Though Keb’ worked with a wide variety of collaborators on the project\, it remains a deeply cohesive work. Additionally\, it is anchored by the five-time Grammy winner’s magnetic vocal delivery and relentless optimism.  \n“I believe that music has the power to heal\,” Keb’ explains\, “and I wanted this album to make people feel good.” \nFor Keb’ Mo’\, that journey began nearly half a century ago. Then\, he landed his first major gig in Papa John Creach’s band at the age of twenty-one. Over the next twenty years\, Keb’ would go on to establish himself as a respected guitarist\, songwriter\, and arranger. Though he recorded a one-off album in 1980 under his birth name\, Kevin Moore\, it wasn’t until 1994 that he would introduce the world to Keb’ Mo’ with the release of his widely acclaimed self-titled debut. Critics quickly took note of Keb’s modern\, genre-bending take on old school sounds. \nRecommended for fans of Taj Mahal\, Robert Cray\, Tab Benoit and Ruthie Foster.

SUMMARY:Brett Dennen: Art Is Life Tour
DESCRIPTION:“funkily elegant strands of timeless pop” – Paste\n  \nThrough his career\, Brett Dennen has established himself as the kind of singer-songwriter who finds inspiration in the human condition. Here\, he digs into the nooks and crannies\, exploring pain\, joy\, sadness\, and all points in between. \n2024’s If It Takes Forever\, the California native’s eighth solo album and first full-length since 2021’s See the World\, is no exception. The warm\, immersive collection boasts deeply felt sentiments\, underpinned by rich acoustic guitars and Dennen’s earnest vocals. Here\, his sound ranges through dusky Americana\, Tom Petty-esque harmonica-driven blues\, rootsy indie\, and meditative folk-rock. \nIf It Takes Forever emerged out of a tough 2023 for Dennen\, as he was dealing with the death of his dad. “He was such a strong figure in my life that I depended on so much as both a dad and a best friend\,” he said. “And I knew immediately in order for me to deal with his death\, the best thing I could do was to make an album about it.” \nUnderstandably\, Dennen took his time coming up with song ideas for If It Takes Forever. To that end\, he spent nearly a year simply thinking about “what kind of album I was going to make. What kinds of songs were going to be on the album\,” he says. “I jotted down ideas on paper\, made little voice memos with ideas of songs\, melodies and choruses. Or sometimes even just talked into a voice recorder.” \nSince debuting in 2004\, Dennen has amassed a loyal fanbase thanks to a steady touring schedule. Moreover\, he plays alongside artists like John Mayer\, Jason Mraz and G Love and Special Sauce. Also\, Dennen has also had multiple Top Ten hits on the AAA radio charts. \nRecommended for fans of Joshua Radin\, Ray Lamontagne\, Bright Eyes and Mason Jennings.

SUMMARY:Jeff Daniels
DESCRIPTION:“an engaging and extremely funny frontman” – Glide\n  \nIn 1976\, Jeff Daniels bought a Guild D-40 from Herb David’s Guitar Studio in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. Then\, he threw it in the back of his old Buick and moved to New York City. That guitar led to a creative outlet\, became a solace\, a road into the artist that he didn’t know existed. Now\, over forty years later\, he’s still writing songs\, singing them\, and playing. \nSince 2000\, Daniels has played venues The Birchmere\, Club Passim\, Café Lena\, New York City’s 54 Below and Birdland. Also\, City Winery in New York and Nashville\, The Barns at Wolf Trap\, Austin’s Cactus Café\, and Annapolis’s Ram’s Head Tavern. Additionally\, Houston’s Mucky Ducks\, The Dakota in Minneapolis\, The Ark in Ann Arbor\, and Chicago’s Old School of Folk Music. Also\, Seattle’s Third Door\, Alaska’s Latitude 62\, and many more. He has toured both coasts with his son’s band\, the Ben Daniels Band. Moreover\, he’s shared the stage with Lyle Lovett\, John Hiatt\, Joe Ely\, Cheryl Wheeler\, Guy Clark\, Christine Lavin\, Keb’ Mo’ and Bruce Hornsby. In 2012\, the Martin Guitar Company began selling the OM Jeff Daniels Custom Artist Edition Guitar. He also narrated their award-winning documentary\, “The Ballad of The Dreadnought.”  \n“In 1976\, I moved to New York to become an actor. What I didn’t plan on was being influenced by so many off-Broadway playwrights. In particular\, Lanford Wilson\, who would later go on to win a Pulitzer Prize for his play Talley’s Folly. Lanford taught me so much about the writing process. In Hollywood\, the joke is if you ask any actor what he wants to do\, he’ll say\, “direct.” Not me. I wanted to write. So I did. With a guitar in my hands.” \nRecommended for fans of John Prine\, Loudon Wainwright III\, John Hiatt and Brent Cobb.
