Adam Douglas is a playmaker in the best sense of the word. His music is intended to be played to people. He savours every moment on stage and values every opportunity to connect with his audience. 

In the six albums she’s released, Sarah Sample has created a reputation for weaving a trail of stories through folk, Americana, and country music. “Old Barn Owl” continues the tradition, written on a songwriting retreat in the Chihuahuan Desert in West Texas, an ode to nature written out past the confines of judgment. The song is out today, with AudioFemme noting how the soothing, hopeful track "lets the wisdom of nature guide" it.

Chris Stapleton’s highly anticipated new album, Starting Over, is out today on Mercury Records Nashville. Stream/purchase here. In celebration of the release, Stapleton was a guest on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” last night performing the album’s title track and speaking with the host.

Alt-country trio DRIFT MOUTH is gearing up for the release of its sophomore album Loveridge Is Burning on November 20th via Wild Frontier Recording Company.

"Poster lays it out in raw and vivid terms with the kind of literary song craftsmanship of fellow troubadours like Steve Earle and Son Volt's Jay Farrar," describes Glide Magazine.
