Aaron Bear, the singer-songwriter known for his soulful and introspective music, has released his latest upbeat single "Bearfoot Trains." The song, which explores the path of choosing love over fear, is an uplifting and inspiring ode to spiritual growth with another human being.

Today, supergroup The Baseball Project has announced their fourth studio album Grand Salami Time!, due out June 30 via Omnivore Recordings. Made up of Steve Wynn (The Dream Syndicate), former R.E.M. members Peter Buck and Mike Mills, along with Scott McCaughey (The Minus 5/Young Fresh Fellows) and Linda Pitmon (Filthy Friends, Alejandro Escovedo), the band has also shared their jangly new single “Journeyman.”

Led into battle by brothers Matt and Marty Bohannon, the Bohannons have been on the musical frontlines for decades, and on Friday, May 5, 2023, the band delivered their latest LP, Night Construction. The album continues the Bohannons stylistic explorations of the musical heritage ingrained within them, along with brand new sonic territory and the personal experiences which inform the band’s expansive body of work.

Rodney Crowell released The Chicago Sessions today via New West Records. The 10-song set was produced by Jeff Tweedy and recorded by Tom Schick at Wilco’s Loft in Chicago. The masterful, cross-generational collaboration follows his acclaimed 2021 album Triage.

Two-time Grammy-winning entertainment legend and Country Music Hall of Fame inductee Tanya Tucker’s new song, “When the Rodeo is Over (Where Does the Cowboy Go?),” is debuting today. Listen/share HERE.

Already well into a busy touring season that includes high-profile performances from Tahoe’s Winter Wondergrass to upstate New York’s Grey Fox festival, banjo phenom Tray Wellington is back with his first new music since last summer’s acclaimed Black Banjo (Mountain Home Music Company) — and for the first time, he’s got his band with him.

If you have never been to the Blues From The Top Music Festival let me paint the picture for you. If you love music, being outside in the mountain air, great food and hospitality you probably need to be in Winter Park the last weekend of June. Your sensory system maybe be overwhelmed by the picturesque backdrop that surrounds the festival location.
