It's been a 10-year wait, but Kelley Mickwee's soulful new single, "Force Of Nature," is premiering today at Glide Magazine. It’s the first release from Everything Beautiful, her first solo album in a decade and was co-written with Owen Temple and features David Jimenez on guitar. "I enlisted an amazing cast of characters, from Pumas to Gary Clark Jr. members to Heathens; it was a killer studio band,” Mickwee says.

Larry Bellorín, the legend of Llanera music, and Grammy-nominated bluegrass and old-time musician Joe Troop are back with their sophomore album, Manos Panamericanos, set for release on September 13. Despite their hectic touring schedule, the duo found time to reward fans with a second album, delivering an inspired collection of original and traditional songs featuring their signature musical mashup of “Latingrass.”

Hailing from Bucks County, PA (not too far from Philadelphia), R.P. Mixon releases his second single, "Shades," a country-infused psychedelic love song with a Jerry Garcia-inspired guitar style and hints of Country & Western twang in his singing voice. The song begins with a groovy guitar riff that sits neatly between early '70s Jerry and Déjà Vu-era CSNY, cascading into an Americana-Southern-Rock vocal that would feel at home on stage supporting Josh Ritter or Jason Isbell at the Troubadour.
