Lauren Monroe’s new album, Messages from Aphrodite, explores multiple facets of love and amplifies messages of healing. The New York-born, California-based polymath conducts parallel careers as a gifted singer-songwriter and a renowned mental-health advocate; she approaches these intertwined roles with equal passion, her nuanced understanding of human behavior informing her music, which she sees as “a heart-based experience” that is “not just about listening—it’s about feeling and connecting.”

Celebrating the 30th anniversary of his iconic solo debut, Radney Foster is touring through Summer 2023, his first stop at Nashville's City Winery. “Thirty years ago, Radney Foster opened up his heart, wrapped it in lap steel and Fender guitars, shouted it from a microphone mountain in a voice of bluebonnet twang, and created a work of riotous loss along the lines of Merle Haggard or Buck Owens," says author/historian Peter Cooper. “Del Rio, TX 1959 is an album that mines the personal to unearth the universal.”

For the past fifteen years, The Hooten Hallers have been crisscrossing the country as inveterate road warriors, bringing their peculiar vision of Americana–a fiery rock and roll fever dream birthed in Missouri’s fertile musical heartland. They’ve put so many miles into the road that they’ve burned through multiple tour vans and left twisted metal and frayed rubber strewn across the road behind them.

Damn Tall Buildings are thrilled to independently released their 3rd album, Sleeping Dogs, on Sept 9. Bluegrass, roots rock, old time, and vintage swing are among the influences on this acoustic Americana trio.
