Nico Padden is a one-woman folk-rock riot. It’s a statement fully supported by her new album, Pirate Queen (Jan. 28), which celebrates the strength of the fierce, brave women in her life – including herself. “The Last Time,” out today, is a no-nonsense breakup song, a battle cry of sorts that clearly expresses Padden’s approach to men and relationships. It's the second single from the album, which offers a mix of Americana, vintage pop/rock and folk.

Raine Hamilton’s Brave Land, out today, is a concept album: inspired by the mountainous landscape they encountered while touring, it’s music made for reaching between different worlds, centering around courage, connection and wisdom, and showcasing resonant chamber-folk with prism-clear, bright vocals and strings along the way.

“It’s about the beauty of being alive and the courage that can take,” Hamilton says of the album’s title track, a theme that also weaves throughout the album as a whole.

The idea of “losing yourself” may seem negative, but to Grammy-award winning guitarist Eric Krasno, the phrase has a deeper meaning. “It’s about losing your ego when you find someone who works for you,” he explains.

Derek Vanderhorst, a musician, sound designer and re-recording mixer for film and tv, is a self-described workaholic.  Known for working on Academy Award nominated films from No Country For Old Men, Hidden Figures, and most recently The Eyes of Tammy Faye, he has a knack for mixing dialogue and music and pulling out the emotion by balancing all the elements that make up a film soundtrack. Those skills translate on his upcoming album, Wildflower.
