Some might say that Gentleman’s Dub Club has been on a mission since their earliest beginnings 15 years ago at Leeds University; through constant touring, and a steady release of recordings, the band has become one of the most popular and best-known UK-based reggae groups in the world. However, it is only now that GDC is officially ON A MISSION, which is the title of their 7th full-length studio album, out June 9 via Easy Star Records.

San Francisco's reggae sensation, Lot 49, has joined forces with Joey Calderaio to create a unique, paradoxical summer anthem aptly named "San Francisco Summer." This song embodies the unusual summer climate of the City by the Bay, far from the typical sunny summertime scenes portrayed in movies.

A 14x Grammy® winner returns to his bluegrass roots today (Friday, June 23), as DAN TYMINSKI releases the anticipated album, GOD FEARING HEATHEN.

Released via 8 Track Entertainment and distributed by Warner/ADA, the project marks Tyminski’s first bluegrass album in 15 years – and his first ever album of original bluegrass compositions – in a “homecoming” studio set that starts a new chapter for one of the genre’s most celebrated contemporary figures.

A Life In Trade, the fifth studio album from Pierce Edens, is due September 15, 2023. Today, the rural North Carolina born-and-raised songwriter and craftsman shares the first single from his forthcoming work – a nostalgic rendition of Sesame Street’s iconic ballad, “I Don’t Want to Live on the Moon” (listen/share). Aptly positioned at the close of the record, the earnest lullaby draws the curtain on Edens’ most soul-baring work to date.

In a heavy-hearted announcement on June 23, 2023, we mourn the passing of a mandolin legend and celebrated musician, Jesse McReynolds, aged 93. His soulful melodies and intricate picking have made a lasting impression on the bluegrass scene, reaching into the heart of the Grateful Dead's extensive repertoire.
