The Buttertones have shared Jazzhound the latest and most extravagant ambitious and fully realized album to date. Known for their ability to blend surf, garage and punk rock influences, combined with their lively performances, The Buttertones have become indie favorites, earning praise from some of the worlds most read publications including Paste, i-D and the LA Times.

Not unlike the rest of the country and the world, improv-rock gurus Umphrey’s McGee have found themselves with an empty-for-now itinerary and, in isolation, the strange daily balance of making sense of it all and making use of the extra time. Today, UM released “Easter In Quarantine.” Penned and recorded by Jake Cinninger and Brendan Bayliss, mixed, and mastered in the course of just over two weeks, “Easter In Quarantine” is a haunting, moody reflection that encapsulates the zeitgeist of this surreal experience we’re all having.

Spin Doctor guitarist Eric Schenkman’s VizzTone album Who Shot John? showcases the many sides of this complex artist, from raw, rockin’ blues to funk/soul/pop. With a power trio format built around Schenkman’s aggressive guitar and vocals, “Locked In The House All Day” takes a melodic verse that drives into a hooky chorus and a guest vocal from Cheryl Lescom.

In times like this, we are more aware than ever of the value of life, love, and friendship. Beth Hart fans have always been a community - a family even – and on the singer’s new video for “No Place Like Home” they have come together to show acts of love and happiness.
