Known for their genre-fluid sound and electrifying live shows, Virginia-based rock band Kendall Street Company is thrilled to announce the release of their latest single, "Billy Pilgrim (I Think We've Been Here Before)". Inspired by the timeless themes of discontent and existential angst, the track marries the punchy spirit of mid-90s alternative rock with the band’s trademark creativity and lyrical depth.

MerleFest, presented by Window World, has added I’m With Her, Leftover Salmon, Stephen Wilson Jr., The Steel Wheels, Tami Neilson, Becky Buller, and more to its 2025 lineup. Taking place April 24–27, 2025, on the campus of Wilkes Community College, the annual celebration of founding legend Doc Watson will host both legendary names and exciting up-and-comers. These include fast-rising honky-tonk starlet Emily Nenni, Colorado-rooted newgrass ensemble The Fretliners, blues-drenched guitar virtuoso Cristina Vane, and dozens of others.

After the up-tempo ’90s vibe of this summer’s Dwight Yoakam cover, “This Drinkin’ Will Kill Me,” Benson — the husband-and-wife duo of award-winning pickers Kristin Scott Benson (banjo) and Wayne Benson (mandolin) — downshifts to a subdued mood and distinctly contemporary sound with their latest single for Mountain Home Music Company, “Down That Road.”
