Levitate's signature summertime celebration of music and art is back for its 9th annual celebration this July 8, 9 & 10 at the Marshfield Fairgrounds! The  largest iteration yet of the beloved homegrown festival, Levitate will bring its signature blend of world class artists and emerging local acts.

The band’s all packed and gone / Was it ever here at all?

Midnight North, the Bay Area roots and folk act, is very happy to release their new album, There’s Always a Story, made available exclusively on Americana Vibes.
 

Midnight North, the Bay Area roots and folk act, has released their latest single, “Silent Lonely Drifter” today on Americana Vibes. The song is the final in a series of singles off the band’s forthcoming album There’s Always a Story.

The gestalt theory of "the whole is more than the sum of its parts,” was in evidence in Sonoma County, California, on May 22, as the so-called Tree of Life Band delivered a dandy of a benefit show. The group was a one-time conglomerate in support of the Tree of Life Fund, which supports children and young adults living with profound developmental disabilities.

Midnight North, the Bay Area roots and folk act, is the latest in a series of artists to join the newly formed Americana Vibes. The label, launched in December 2020 as part of the Regime Music Group umbrella of companies, is home to GRAMMY award-winning artist, The Infamous Stringdusters as well as Boulder, Colorado-based The Sweet Lillies.

Midnight North kicked off its 2021 live-stage endeavors on April 18, with a masked and physically distanced performance at their original home base, Terrapin Crossroads. The concert was the band’s first show back since the Covid-19 proliferation and leaned heavily on the band’s newly released album, “There’s Always a Story.”

In times like we’ve been living, maybe we could all use a friendly voice to lead us to the other side. Perhaps one of music’s most wonderful capabilities is its undeniable ability to bring us comfort in times of tumult. Surely, the sonic pleasantries and lyrical content of some tunes lend themselves to being that warm blanket that covers you and, say, a whole bunch of your friends.

It is true! We have new music for the world to hear - an entire new album of fresh new music already captured in the studio and awaiting the final creative push over the edge into finality! Patience is a virtue and we must trust our process and release the full album upon its natural completion in the coming seasons.

With all the New Year’s Eve announcements happening as of late, some may forget that their still two months of music until we ring in the New Year. Joining forces for ten dates throughout the Northeast and Midwest, Midnight North and Cris Jacobs Band, is time a co-bill dreams are made of. Last Thursday evening the group landed in Ardmore Music Hall, right outside the city limits (Philadelphia).
