- Val Haller, The New York Times
* The Pine Hill Project (Richard Shindell & Lucy Kaplansky): https://pinehillproject.

* Lake Street Dive: https://lakestreetdivemusic.
“Bad Self Portraits, is a fresh, knowing collection of tunes that split the difference between Motown soul, Sixties pop zip, and British Invasion swagger. With award-winning jazz vocalist Rachael Price as their secret ingredient, LSD boasts an unflagging collective charisma and sense of humor that will take them far." – Rolling Stone
* Winterpills: http://www.winterpills.com/
"Winterpills gradually builds elegant arrangements… While the gathered instruments offer some solace, the songs stay haunted.” - New York Times
* Parsonsfield: https://parsonsfieldmusic.
"A mix of infectious Appalachian anthems and rustic, handcrafted ballads. It is a pop-ish bluegrass fury of well-worn guitars, danceable drums, and traded vocals balanced evenly with the haunting sounds of three-part harmonies... ultimately, it is the precision and polish of musicianship well beyond their years that pulls the audience fully in." - Pop Matters
* And The Kids: https://andthekidsmusic.
"Guitarist Hannah Mohan's striking vocals rival the vibrato and boldness of Siouxsie Sioux... [And The Kids] make music that's both fearless and entertaining." - NPR Music
* Dustbowl Revival: https://soundcloud.com/
"In a city like Los Angeles, home to musical stars in nearly every known genre, handing out the Best Live Band title is not easy. But the free-thinking local collective Dustbowl Revival's upbeat, old-school, All-American sonic safaris exemplify everything shows should be: hot, spontaneous, engaging and, best of all, a pleasure to hear. " - LA Weekly
Friday September 4th - Rhythm & Roots Festival - Charlestown, RI

*Miss Tess & The Talkbacks: https://misstesssongs.
"I don’t know of anyone else right now touring in the Americana scene that has such an eclectic, jazzy, old school and interesting vibe. There’s an authenticity present in Miss Tess’ music. She is real. And she is rare." - No Depression
Thursday, September 18 – Americana Music Festival – City Winery - Nashville, TN
* Pine Hill Project (featuring Richard Shindell & Lucy Kaplansky)
* Eilen Jewell
* Jeffrey Foucault: https://jeffreyfoucault.
“One of our most truly poetic songwriters… Foucault’s singing is almost nakedly human in that he invariably reaches for the most open honesty of his feeling… The inherent warmth of his throaty delivery tempers the occasional strangeness of his poetic lyric, and invites you into its possibilities…” - No Depression
