Michael Franti & Spearhead

“Look to the East, Look to the West” is their first album in 11 years but they waste no time re-capturing the essence of what they are known for; effortlessly blending catchy hooks with thoughtful songwriting surrounded by lush, modern arrangements.

“All Born Screaming” is a thrill ride of psychedelic, dystopian experimentation

"Dark Matter" is their twelfth studio album, a vivid testament to their enduring artistry and evolution.

Her third album “Don’t forget me” has many songs about coping with the sudden rush of fame.

“Only God Was Above Us” is about history, their own, and most notably that of their former hometown, New York City

The award winning blues artist plays a nylon sting acoustic on the album whose title says it all “One Guitar Woman: A Tribute to the Female Pioneers of Guitar.”

Katie Crutchfield veered away from her indie rock roots with her last album and on “Tigers Blood” she doubles down on that pure americana sound to deliver an almost perfect follow up.

Jack Antonoff, on Bleacher’s new self-titled album, has his band cruising the interstate rather than the red carpet.

“Liam Gallagher John Squire” despite it’s unimaginative title, goes a long way to contributing to their enduring legacies.

“The Past is Still Alive” is like a modern day western, tough and tender and full of personal experiences that, while traumatic, inspire the feeling that life goes on.
