Markéta Irglová and Glen Hansard will - once again - be reuniting for an extended run of dates in celebration of the 15th (and counting) anniversary of their film Once. The duo reconvened for the first time in ten years last March 2022 for a limited number of sold-out shows. The response was so overwhelmingly positive they’d hoped to do more shows sooner, but in these modern times tomorrow is five days and next month is next year. Thus, these shows are right on time.

On the heels of the release of their captivating new single “Who Can You Love,” the Southern roots rockers Robert Jon & The Wreck have announced a select run of performances throughout the southeast this winter.

Israel’s premier psytrance quartet G-Nome Project has released its own original rendition of "Pure Imagination," the beloved soundtrack selection from 1971 film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. The band’s reimagined take, cheekily titled a "G-Mix,” incorporates Shpongle-style production influences with elements of techno and funk to create an intricate musical tapestry. The single heralds the release of G-Nome’s debut studio album, Mouse Kingdom, arriving in 2023.

When singer Eva Cassidy wandered into producer Chris Biondo's studio in Glenn Dale, Maryland to make extra money by singing on a band’s demo, she began an unprecedented journey that would lead to more than 12 million albums sold worldwide, largely posthumously. When she passed away in 1996 from melanoma at the age of 33, she left behind a small catalogue of recorded material that has been painstakingly curated into more than a dozen individual collections that showcase her extraordinarily versatile voice and her wide-ranging, but unerringly tasteful, sense of material.

Single Sonic Seven is the self-titled debut album of a collective of musicians on all seven continents. Two years in the making, it is alive with soul, punchy beats, catchy hooks, penguins, and a turbulent backstory. Its roots are found in quarantine-era Berlin, while its final path was deeply shaped by a personal connection to the war in Ukraine.

Award-winning Canadian duo Whitehorse—Melissa McClelland and Luke Doucet—just released their eighth LP, I’m Not Crying, You’re Crying, leaving no emotional, personal, fantastical, or political stone unturned. The new album finds the pair venturing deeper into classic country music touchstones than ever before; a move that is both a homecoming and an evolution of their sound.

Alma Mater is Dirk Sullivan and Andrew Paul Woodworth. The two are veterans of the Los Angeles and of the Portland, Oregon music scenes. Sullivan was signed to Interscope Records with his band Love On Ice and Woodworth fronted Elephant Ride, signed to Sony Records. They have since spent two decades recording and touring in various projects.

Marco Minnemann provides drums on three tracks and Jonathan Mover on another three. Dave Kerzner performs a keyboard solo that he wrote for one of the songs.

High Definition Tape Transfers, as part of its bundle of new Judy Garland releases celebrating the centennial of her birth, is proud to announce its latest release in her honor, Judy Garland – The Lost Vegas Show – New Frontier Hotel – July 16, 1956, a previously unissued performance taped on her opening night, which was also her nightclub debut.

The single shows Underground Springhouse's reggae influence, keeping true to their established style while including many new layers of sounds. The music is a feel-good combination of reggae and rock, but the lyrics are a bittersweet take on the highs and lows of life. “I kind of wrote this song to cheer myself up one day” said singer Charlie Haas. “It’s about how life can be incredible one day and terrible the next, and everyone goes through that”.
