Django’s unmistakable cool and jumpin’ jole de vivre have made him an icon for an unlikely range of luminaries from Carlos Santana to Eric Clapton, guitar greats! Jimi Hendrix named his “big band of gypsies” in tribute, and Willie Nelson adopted his influence in “country-swing.”

Nathan Kalish is pleased to announce that his latest effort, Great Big Motel Bed in the Sky, will be released on July 22nd via JTM Music.

New single out this week from the great Peter Rowan! It’s the title track from his upcoming album and features two Americana heavyweights as well: Molly Tuttle and Lindsay Lou. It’s a cosmic song inspired by his longterm interest in Tibetan music and culture and his friendship with the Tibetan singer Yungchen Lhamo. “This song appeared from infinite space,” Peter explained in the Wide Open Country premiere. Have a listen!

Few bluegrass groups have been around for forty years, and even fewer have been more popular, more widely admired or more influential for as long as Mountain Home Music Company recording artists, Lonesome River Band. By the early 1990s, they were winning key awards and topping the charts, and while members have come and gone, the quintet’s reputation for crafting essential, archetypal bluegrass has only grown with each passing year.  

Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio—or as it is sometimes referred to, DLO3—specialize in the lost art of “feel good music.” The ingredients of this intoxicating cocktail include a big helping of the 1960s organ jazz stylings of Jimmy Smith and Baby Face Willette; a pinch of the snappy soul strut of Booker T. & The M.G.’s, The Meters, and sprinkles Motown, Stax Records, blues, and cosmic Jimi Hendrix-style guitar. It’s a soul-jazz concoction that goes straight to your heart and head makes your body break out in a sweat.
