The seventh full-length from four-time Grammy Award-winner Sarah Jarosz, Polaroid Lovers is an album-long meditation on those strangely ephemeral moments that indelibly shape our lives. “What I love about a Polaroid is that it’s capturing something so fleeting, but at the same time it makes that moment last forever,” says the Texas-born singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist.

Today, the five-time Grammy-nominated roots/blues/rock musician Cody Dickinson releases "Big City" from his upcoming album Homemade, out June 21st on Strong Place Music. Set to a festival-friendly soundtrack of grooves and guitars, “Big City” is a rallying cry for action and inclusivity.  Listen to "Big City" HERE and via DSPs HERE.

A project that built its name on romanticizing the idiosyncratic, East Coast Alternative outfit Little Stranger has made waves as of late with their slice-of-life lyrics and charismatic presence. With an eclectic pool of influences and a mastery of all things quirky, their work is a much-needed reminder to take a beat and embrace the peculiar nature of the world.

Maine-based outfit Coyote Island has certainly taken off over the last few years with no signs of slowing down. Beginning as the solo project of singer-songwriter Mike O’Hare, it has taken flight as a full band over the years, adding a level of depth through the unique background of every musician they bring into the fold.

No Values, the biggest punk/hardcore festival in American concert history, took place in Pomona, California, on June 8. Organized by Goldenvoice, now a subsidiary of A.E.G. Worldwide and famously known for promoting the megafest Coachella, the festival celebrated Goldenvoice's punk rock roots. In 1981, Goldenvoice was a D.I.Y. company that booked punk gigs at Southern California venues such as Fender's Ballroom, the Olympic Auditorium, and Perkins Palace.
