Prakash Slim Pokharel was born in a field during the rainy season in a small village, called Lamatar, in the Lalitpur district of Nepal. The village saw its first electric bulb in 1983 and its first motorized vehicle in 1995. He was raised by a loving, loyal family that had very limited means. His father passed away at the age of 29, leaving his mother with three children to raise, one elder brother, a sister, and Prakash.

George Fetner’s a bit of a chameleon. His guises have included stormy Britfolk songwriter (see: 2017’s Some Things We’ll Change), avant-garde composer (see: 2015’s Beneath the Ice) and proggy jam-rock bandleader (see: his bygone trio Pinna). But Fetner seems most natural fronting The Strays, a rangy and loose-limbed rock ‘n’ roll ensemble that’s built for a good time.

"Face Like a Ghost” is a song born out of a dream. I’ve always been fascinated by what dreams can reveal about a person once they wake up. I wanted to see what I could discover about myself through writing this song. Everytime I listen I think back to that dream and find a new interpretation.”

When the world’s greatest timple virtuosos Germán López joins forces with international award-winning jazz singer/songwriter Halie Loren you get a whole new creative sound that will have you singling along or deeply memorized.

Grateful Web has the premiere of The Inspector Cluzo's "Ideologies." This unplugged version of the song will be included on the forthcoming album The Organic Farmers Seasons due out in the fall.

After a career spanning more than four decades in rock ’n’ roll and multiple recordings, singer-songwriter Cidny Bullens is releasing a unique, debut album — of sorts. While it’s true Walkin’ Through This World, due out this summer, is actually Bullens’ ninth collection of original songs, it’s the first album he will put out as Cidny Bullens, a transgender man.

Live music is back! The Yarmouth Drive-in on Cape Cod will present rock band Ripe in concert Saturday, August 1st. This will be the first major live performance in the state since the lockdown went into effect in March.

Singer, songwriter, guitarist, producer and bandleader, Ross Bellenoit’s latest full-length offering, Where Does The Light Go? is out now.  The eleven Americana tinged songs on the LP were written and produced by Bellenoit and the album is a meditation on love, loss, secrets and the ways our interpersonal relationships affect our understanding of the world around us. It poses the question, what happens when you stay on a path when you feel that the odds are against you?
