Produced by 3x GRAMMY® Award-winner Brendan O’Brien (Bruce Springsteen\, Pearl Jam)\, the album is heralded by the ravishing lead single\, “Time Waited\,” available everywhere now. An official music video\, directed by famed photographer/filmmaker Danny Clinch and featuring new performance footage interspersed with archival photos from throughout the band’s history\, is streaming now on YouTube. \n\n\n\nFor more than 25 years\, My Morning Jacket have achieved an incredibly rare feat in the world of rock ‘n’ roll – upholding a long-established cultural legacy while sustaining all the curiosity and creative hunger of their very earliest days. In a monumental step for the Louisville\, KY-bred five-piece – vocalist/guitarist Jim James\, bassist Tom Blankenship\, guitarist Carl Broemel\, drummer Patrick Hallahan\, keyboardist Bo Koster – is once again expands the limits of their sound and elevates their artistry to unprecedented heights. The result is perhaps the most masterfully realized work yet from a band fully committed to their belief in music as a conduit for revelation of all kinds. \n\n\n\n“I like how the word “is” indicates a sense of presence in the now – there’s no logic or rationale behind this record; it just is\,” says James. “All these songs came into existence out of an attempt to connect with something beyond the human experiment\, which for me is the whole purpose of music – that connection with something larger than us\, yet something we are all equally a part of.” \n\n\n\nis – which arrives as My Morning Jacket celebrates the 20th anniversary of their 2005’s landmark Z\, a lavishly acclaimed collection named by Rolling Stone among “The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time” – represents another milestone in the band’s ever-evolving body of work\, as well as an opportunity to breathe new energy into their historically stunning and hard-driving live performances. James points to the “undeniable force of loving” as the most essential factor in the band’s longevity and unending enchantment with the process of musical creation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout MELTMelt is a New York City based band who formed in 2017. With a sound that continuously pulls from new realms\, at Melt’s core is a shared love of soul and psychedelia\, existential pop songs and ethereal jam sections\, and a deep love for each other. Melt initially made a name for themselves with their first single “Sour Candy” that reached #5 on Billboard’s US Viral 50 Chart when they were 18 years old. They have since released their first EP “West Side Highway” in 2021: a bold project inspired by an eclectic mix of artists from Diana Ross to Wilco\, The Grateful Dead to Maggie Rogers. As Melt continues to grow and reach new heights\, they want you to help them create love\, build community\, and work towards an ever-evolving vision of the future. Join the band on tour and get ready to melt.

SUMMARY:flipturn - The Burnout Days Tour with Sun Room at The Wilma
DESCRIPTION:Logjam Presents welcomes flipturn for a live concert performance with Sun Room at The Wilma in Downtown Missoula at 8:00 pm Wednesday\, August 6\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors @ 7:00 pm \n\n\n\nLogjam Presents welcomes flipturn for a live concert performance with Sun Room at The Wilma in Downtown Missoula at 8:00 pm Wednesday\, August 6. \n\n\n\nTickets on sale at Logjam Presents Box Offices and online while supplies last. All tickets are general admission standing room only. All ages are welcome. \n\n\n\nTake a look at these tips to best prepare yourself for a smooth ticket buying experience. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout flipturnFor flipturn\, success didn’t arrive overnight. The band\, comprised of Dillon Basse (lead vocals\, guitar)\, Tristan Duncan (lead guitar)\, Mitch Fountain (synth\, guitar)\, Madeline Jarman (bass)\, and Devon VonBalson (drums)\, grew steadily with every gig\, from college house shows in their home state of Florida to festival appearances at Bonnaroo\, Lollapalooza\, and Austin City Limits\, to national recognition from Jimmy Kimmel Live\, ABC News\, and The Washington Post – earning the Jacksonville-based band an international reputation as an indie rock powerhouse. By the time flipturn released their debut album\, Shadowglow\, they’d become genuine road warriors while still in their mid-20s\, supporting the record with a nonstop string of tour dates. That dizzying experience inspired the band’s second release\, Burnout Days. Caught halfway between 21st century indie rock\, New Wave-inspired nostalgia\, and rhythmic alt-pop\, Burnout Days finds the beauty that exists between five friends\, even in times of burnout. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Sun RoomBorn and raised in SoCal’s surf-rock scene\, Sun Room (Luke Asgian\, Ashton Minnich and Max Pinamonti) quickly went from getting the cops called on them for playing too loudly at house shows to performing their music in sold out rooms across dozens of countries. \n\n\n\nAfter a series of unexpected viral moments\, two of their songs were included on the hit Netflix series ‘Outer Banks’ which continued the wave of excitement online. Within just six months of the band forming\, Sun Room went on to sell out a run of shows across the US\, support Louis Tomlinson’s North and South American tours\, and support Inhaler in Europe. \n\n\n\nMaking their way back to the US in Fall 2022\, Sun Room embarked on their first headline tour across North America\, selling over 13\,000 tickets. Getting back on the road in Spring 2023\, the band toured the US with Inhaler\, then went straight into their own headline run. \n\n\n\nAfter returning home to San Diego for the summer\, Sun Room finished their EP At Least I Tried — A 4 track EP produced by Zac Carper from FIDLAR\, one of the band’s biggest influences growing up in the California DIY scene. The project was met with great responses from the public\, scoring playlist covers across DSPs\, a highlight from Iggy Pop on BBC6 and DIY Mag describing them as “a band so unashamedly indebted to the garage rock’n’ roll of decades past…” The project dropped as the band kicked off their second headline tour across all of North America\, playing in over 30 cities\, before finally jetting off to Australia for a headline tour and series of festivals from December 2023 to January 2024. \n\n\n\nComing off a headline run and festival circuit in Spring 2024\, Sun Room has most recently released their EP Can’t Explain following the singles “Hate It When You Call” and “Get Me Outta New York City.” The EP arrives just before the band is set to join Dayglow on his fall headline tour for 20+ dates across the US. \n\n\n\nIn 2023\, Sun Room gained over 500k followers across social media with a steady flow of global listeners that continue to grow as they experiment with their sound\, play in new cities\, and pull influences from the unique experiences they have encountered in just three years of being a band.

Married since 1999\, these two soulmates\, equally steeped in the musical roots of blues\, jazz\, and gospel\, had finally decided the time was right to set aside their successful solo careers and commit to a new band melding their vision and talent. It wasn’t the first time they had collaborated; they had shared a stage countless times and traded album guest appearances\, all while starting a family together. But on that night\, hitting the stage together with members of the Derek Trucks Band and a guest horn section they heard the future. \n\n\n\n“The 12-piece outfit puts out a big band sound that still rings intimate\, shaking listeners to their emotional core.” – Rolling Stone \n\n\n\nTwo years later\, the couple debuted Tedeschi Trucks Band. The nation’s economy was heading into recession. The popular music landscape was filled with technological theatrics and auto-tuned singers. And here were Tedeschi and Trucks along with their (then) 8-member band\, loading up two tour buses and hitting the road with a sound that defied conventional genre boundaries or traditional labels; a gypsy caravan on the rock-and-roll highway. To call it ambitious was an understatement. \n\n\n\n“They’re a roots-music tour de force\, and there’s a strong case to be made that they’ve been America’s best band of the decade.” – Austin American Statesman \n\n\n\nIn pursuit of their ideal sound driven by world class musicianship\, Tedeschi and Trucks put together a musical collaborative like no other\, flying in the face of any practical or economic considerations. There have been evolutionary changes to the band along the way\, but the current line up includes the freight-train force of drummers Tyler Greenwell and Isaac Eady\, long-time Derek Trucks Band member Mike Mattison\, with his dynamic vocals and songwriting skills\, Brandon Boone (bass guitar)\, Gabe Dixon (keyboards)\, the three-piece horn section of Kebbi Williams (saxophone)\, Ephraim Owens (trumpet)\, and Elizabeth Lea (trombone)\, and Mark Rivers and Alecia Chakour on vocal duties with Mattison. In February 2019\, original band member and brilliant multi-instrumentalist Kofi Burbridge passed away\, leaving an indelible mark on TTB’s spirit and sound. \n\n\n\nOn the road for upwards of 200 days a year\, the TTB family has grown strong\, bonding over backyard BBQs and long bus rides\, all the while developing a growing repertoire of original material and paying homage to an extensive canon of influences ranging from Sly & the Family Stone\, Miles Davis and George Jones to Joe Cocker\, Nina Simone\, and even Indian sarod master Ali Akbar Khan. Embracing improvisation over convention\, and with set lists that change nightly\, the collective is adept at exploring almost any musical territory. The genuine respect within its ranks is evident on stage. Trucks’ masterful guitar skills and Tedeschi’s soaring vocals and bluesy guitar shine but don’t overpower the breadth of talent\, happily yielding the spotlight as needed in service of what the song deserves. \n\n\n\n“I saw them live and it was mind blowing. [Derek] has taken the guitar\, specifically slide guitar\, somewhere it has never been. His phrasing both with and without slide is uniquely his and just odd and jarring and exciting to listen to. [Susan] is an earnest blues player as well and her voice is astounding. The band was mind-blowing. They take a form that is arguably tired and turn it inside out with originality and musicianship and make it totally their own.” – Marc Maron \n\n\n\nTrucks and Tedeschi’s uncompromising vision has paid off. Now 12-members strong\, and with a catalog of seven albums and nearly a decade of steady touring in the U.S. and abroad\, Tedeschi Trucks Band carries a distinguished reputation earned from both audiences and critics as one of the premier live bands in the world. Sold-out multi-night runs at venerable venues like the Beacon Theatre\, Ryman Auditorium and Red Rocks Amphitheater are a testament to the can’t-miss concert experience fans have come to anticipate. The band’s own “Wheels of Soul” tour has become a sought-after summer experience across the country\, bringing TTB’s unique stew of upbeat rock and soul together on stage with a slew of guests\, sit ins\, and supporting bands that have included the late Sharon Jones\, Los Lobos  The Wood Brothers\, Hot Tuna and most recently Blackberry Smoke\, The Marcus King Band and Drive-By Truckers. \n\n\n\n“Epic is an overused word\, but if one contemporary rock band were to rightfully wear it\, the Tedeschi Trucks Band might be the ones.” – Santa Barbara Independent \n\n\n\nTTB’s most recent release\, Layla Revisited (Live At LOCKN’) featuring Trey Anastasio\, is a 2CD/3LP live recording of their “now-legendary” (Relix) performance of the classic Derek and the Dominos album. It  joins an impressive and growing discography that includes Signs (2019)\, Let Me Get By (2016)\, Made Up Mind (2013)\, and the Grammy-winning debut\, Revelator (2011) in addition to their earlier live releases\, the Grammy-nominated film/audio\, Live From The Fox Oakland (2017)\, and 2012’s Everybody’s Talkin’. \n\n\n\nIn the midst of the rare time off during the pandemic\, the band convened in the studio to write and record a wealth of new songs for a future studio album. As the recording progresses towards an expected release in 2022\, the album is growing into a unique and exciting conceptual project.  It’s clear that Trucks and Tedeschi have no intention of slowing down. As Trucks remarked to Mark Maron on his WTF podcast “I haven’t found this band’s ceiling yet.” For Tedeschi Trucks Band\, there may not be one.

The group\, which appropriated its name from a song title by ’60s UK rock ensemble The Bonzo Dog Band\, has consistently released outstanding albums over the years\, gaining a wider audience and seeping into the consciousness of mainstream America with the success of their latest albums\, the most recent of which were released by Atlantic Records. The band remains a core member of the Barsuk family\, however\, and we continue to release their albums on vinyl\, including the reissues of their first four albums on 180-gram vinyl\, as well as 2015’s Kintsugi and 2018’s Thank You For Today. In addition to the Ben Gibbard lo-fi solo project All-Time Quarterback CD reissue from a few years back\, and Ben’s more recent Former Lives album\, we also released the Chris Walla solo project\, Field Manual\, and the Steve Fisk & Benjamin Gibbard score to the film Kurt Cobain About A Son. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Sea LemonAll her life\, Natalie Lew had been a music fan\, but she never envisioned herself gracing the stage as a musician. Growing up in Seattle\, Lew was raised on local cultural touchstones like the Capitol Hill Block Party\, KEXP\, and the Museum of Pop Culture’s annual Sound Off (Battle of the Bands)\, which led her to believe she’d pursue a career working for a label\, maybe as an A&R rep\, anything to keep in close proximity with the thing she loved most. Though Lew grew up playing the piano\, that was the extent of her musical prowess\, at least until she moved to New York and started playing a roommate’s guitars\, which led to playing rhythm guitar in a friend’s band. The experience opened up a new future for Lew who returned to the Pacific Northwest in the early days of the pandemic and\, in isolation\, wrote her very first songs which were released as an EP\, Close Up\, in 2022 under the moniker Sea Lemon in homage to the acid-yellow sea slugs who populate the waters of the Puget Sound. Now signed to Luminelle\, Sea Lemon shares the single “Cellar\,” which offers an even deeper glimpse at her extraordinary mind.

Since the arrival of Long Time Coming (her acclaimed debut LP for Rounder Records)\, the West Virginia-born singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist has earned the Emerging Act of the Year prize at the Americana Honors & Awards\, collaborated with the likes of Margo Price and Old Crow Medicine Show\, and enchanted audiences all over North America and Europe with her high-spirited and dazzling live performance. On her new album Trail Of Flowers\, the Nashville-based artist expands her sound while deepening the urgency of her songs\, often revealing a wealth of wisdom within her wildly imaginative storytelling. \n\n\n\nHer first full-length since Long Time Coming — a 2021 release that drew praise from outlets like Pitchfork\, Paste\, Pop Matters\, and No Depression — Trail Of Flowers came to life with producers Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan\, Brandi Carlile\, Chris Stapleton) and Gary Paczosa (Alison Krauss\, Dwight Yoakam\, Gillian Welch) and with such esteemed musicians as Chris Scruggs. In keeping with a musical upbringing that included playing everywhere from truck stops to boxcars to New Orleans street corners\, the album journeys from freewheeling bluegrass to heartrending old-time music to fantastically gritty honky-tonk and beyond\, endlessly changing shape to accommodate the immense scope of Ferrell’s eccentric musicality. Mainly recorded at Sound Emporium Studios and featuring guest appearances from singer/songwriters Lukas Nelson and Nikki Lane\, Trail Of Flowers ultimately fulfills her longstanding mission of making music that transcends all barriers of time. “I wanted to create something that makes people feel nostalgic for the past\, but excited about the future of music\,” Ferrell points out. \n\n\n\nInstantly proving her extraordinary capacity to merge timeless musicianship with lyrics exploring modern concerns\, Trail Of Flowers opens on “American Dreaming”: a world-weary yet soul-stirring track that speaks to the struggle to build a good life in a culture consumed by capitalism. Another song informed by her singular outlook on the modern world\, “Fox Hunt” takes the form of a furiously stomping epic driven by galloping rhythms and some feverish fiddle work from Ferrell. On “Rosemary\,” she delves further into her old-time roots and delivers the album’s most haunting moment: a stark but spellbinding story-song graced with a few bars of soulful yodeling. A profoundly gifted vocalist\, Ferrell often captures an entire world of feeling in just a single line\, particularly on tracks like “Dollar Bill Bar” — a swinging but wistful number on which she cycles from longing to regret to devil-may-care attitude with impossible ease. And on “I Could Drive You Crazy\,” Ferrell serves up one of the most joyful moments on Trail Of Flowers\, sharing a harmony-fueled and singalong-ready love song that’s both self-effacing and gloriously fun. \n\n\n\nIn selecting a title for her latest body of work\, Ferrell chose to reference her deep love of flowers and affinity for surrounding herself with gorgeously colorful blossoms — a perfect reflection of her wondrous inner world. As a listening experience\, Trail Of Flowers provides a similar sensation of all-enveloping and off-kilter beauty — one that Ferrell hopes might lift others into a more charmed state of mind. “I’m just trying to put words and melodies together and build it into something people can pour their feelings too\, all their happiness and sorrows\, so that it changes their reality a little bit and gives them some comfort\,” she says. “To me music is like medicine. And whenever I write a song and it feels healing to me\, I know it can heal other people too.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Brudi BrothersThe Brudi Brothers are a dynamic Americana band hailing from Seattle\, Washington. Often recognized as the city’s favorite buskers and street poets\, they are known for their raucous performances and distinctive old-world soul that stands out in the world of modern music. They gained rapid popularity worldwide when a live clip of their latest single\, “Me More Cowboy Than You\,” went viral\, garnering over 15 million streams and quickly rising. Comprising of three brothers\, Johannes\, Conrad\, and George\, the boys have an inimitable musical and performance dynamic replete with wit and humor. They are all multi instrumentalists and have been playing together since they were kids. They have traveled the world together\, their musical commentary drawing from adventures hitchhiking through Europe\, living on sailboats\, and performing for the Queen of The Netherlands to create their unusually hypnotic sound. \n\n\n\nListeners who discovered the band via their social media virality have eagerly taken to their 2020 album\, See You Soon. Recorded on a houseboat in Amsterdam with a sound engineer paid in beer and tobacco\, the project encapsulates a thoughtful and intimate slice of life immediately preceding the COVID-19 pandemic. They traverse genres with poignant and vibrant lyrics\, understated instrumentation\, and playful harmonies. \n\n\n\nThe Brudi Brothers have carved out a unique space in the Pacific Northwest music scene and beyond\, pairing familiar beloved influences with blood harmonies and melodies unique to the brothers. With a blend of old school folk\, country\, and rock-and-roll feel\, the band is known for their ability to play to any crowd. Their infectious sound and electrifying chemistry on stage has earned them a loyal fanbase\, who can’t get enough of the band’s simultaneous earnestness and irreverence.

At just 25\, Jonah has already made waves with over 386 million global streams\, 2.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify\, and two critically acclaimed EPs—The Roads and Black Dress\, featuring hit “God Needs The Devil” which is presently Top 15 at Alternative radio and was chosen as one of Spotify’s Best Pop Songs of 2024. \n\n\n\nJonah’s unique artistry extends beyond his deep\, universally resonant songwriting. He is also a skilled guitarist and instrumentalist\, having played many instruments since childhood. And to round out his self-sufficiency\, he has taught himself how to produce every note\,  most recently in an Airstream that he transformed into his personal mobile studio. \n\n\n\nThe Airstream isn’t just a fun adventure; it’s a reflection of Jonah’s spirit\, drawing inspiration from both nature and legends before him like Townes Van Zandt\, Jason Isbell\, and Andy McKee. Whether touring on his sold-out solo dates or performing alongside the likes of Sam Barber and Chance Peña in the US and abroad\, Jonah’s sound is a blend of personal experience and universal connection.

Being positive and sharing hope has always been their trademark. Now\, a couple of decades later\, that is still the case. \n\n\n\nTheir journey took an exciting turn when they crossed paths with Andrew Campanelli\, drummer for the multi-platinum band The Revivalists\, who recognized the magic in their sound and stepped in as their producer. Together\, they began recording a collection of songs\, sharing the journey in real-time on social media. \n\n\n\nThen\, in early 2024\, a casual TikTok post featuring their song “Where Did I Go Wrong” went viral\, changing everything. The raw\, heartfelt clip exploded\, racking up tens of millions of views and earning the Crowe Boys thousands of new fans overnight. Their authentic rise caught the attention of Universal Music Group Nashville\, who signed the duo shortly after. With over 600K followers across social media\, the Crowe Boys’ rapidly growing fanbase is a testament to their genuine connection with their audience. \n\n\n\nWith new music and tours planned through the end of 2024 and into 2025\, the Crowe Boys are just getting started.

The LA band began 2020 by touring in support of their record released the previous year\, Widow’s Weeds. But the pandemic halted those plans\, with the members including guitarist and singer Brian Aubert\, bassist Nikki Monninger\, drummer Christopher Guanlao\, and keyboardist Joe Lester\, finding themselves stuck at home. In that resting period\, Aubert wasn’t focused on Silversun Pickups; instead\, he channeled his energy into taking care of his son\, Nico\, while his wife Tracy worked. \n\n\n\nBut as much as his focus initially shifted from the band\, he couldn’t escape the new melodies germinating in his head. “I would sneak off and start writing these songs\, and I didn’t know what they’re for because I didn’t really think about Silversun on any level. I was just doing it to keep myself calm and keep myself company\,” says Aubert. The songs were so different from what he’d previously written for Silversun Pickups that he initially thought he was writing a musical. There were “dream shanties\,” gentler vocals\, horror-inspired sounds\, and other exciting new elements coming to mind. \n\n\n\nThe band finally was able to gather in person for a live-streamed acoustic performance on Halloween for The Dark Zone Network’s virtual music festival Queen Mary\, and it was there that Aubert revealed the new material to his bandmates. They readily embraced the new direction—and so did producer Butch Vig. The band reunited with Vig\, who first worked with Silversun Pickups on Widow’s Weeds\, recording the record at the famed producer and Garbage member’s home. \n\n\n\nWhen Aubert first reached out to Vig\, he wasn’t sure if the band was making an EP or a full record; Widow’s Weeds was still fresh for Silversun Pickups. But once Aubert made plans to visit Vig and play him what he had\, the music began pouring out. He immediately began recording with Vig\, later having the rest of the band join. \n\n\n\nOnce the band began working on Physical Thrills together\, they made some of Silversun Pickups’ most stunning songs yet. The record doesn’t depart drastically from the sound the band’s fans know and love\, but rather enhances it with previously-unexplored fixtures at play. \n\n\n\nPhysical Thrills was colored by the pandemic\, but isn’t meant to be solemn; instead\, Aubert explores his own comfort in the temporary\, newfound isolation. There’s a juxtaposition of playfulness with angst from having so much time to process untapped emotions. That’s something that comes through in the album’s instrumentation\, too\, with wide-ranging sounds that transform according to the weight of the lyrics. \n\n\n\nThere are tracks with shoegaze-infused distorted synths and guitar\, like opener “Stillness (Way Beyond)”; bouncy\, pop-tinged danceable tunes (“Empty Nest\,” “Hereafter (Way After)”); pared-down ballads (“Alone On A Hill”); and a collection of “dream shanties\,” as Aubert refers to them. \n\n\n\nThe titles of those shanties call back to “Dream At Tempo 119” off the band’s 2006 debut record\, Carnavas\, tying the band’s beginnings with the current\, evolved iteration of Silversun Pickups. But\, this time\, the instrumentation matches the lyrics. Aubert forgoes the heavy guitars to instead create magical lullabies: “Dream At Tempo 050\,” “Dream At Tempo 310\,” and “Dream At Tempo 150.” Each carries a secret code in the title with numbers personal to Aubert. \n\n\n\nWith such an exploratory record\, the band members felt free to traverse new ground. Guanlao\, who usually shies away from fills on drums\, took inspiration from The Beatles documentary Get Back\, throwing some into Physical Thrills\, influenced by Ringo Starr’s work on Let It Be. Whereas for Monninger\, this record allowed her to showcase her vocals at the forefront more than in previous work. Joe also took a larger role in composition on this record\, writing the piano part for “We Won’t Come Out\,” which became the backbone for the song. \n\n\n\nThe making of Physical Thrills also allowed for whimsical moments\, including Aubert creating a distinct tapping noise by incorporating the sound of drumsticks hitting Vig’s Grammy in “Hidden Moon\,” and playfully pelting balloons at Monninger while she played “Hereafter (Way After)” on bass to create less tension. \n\n\n\nWhile this record features such an eclectic mix of melodies\, each song is interconnected with each other\, meant to be experienced as a whole body of work. “All of our records are designed for people who want to listen to them all the way through and hopefully stick around with it\,” says Aubert. “After a while\, maybe you’ll catch on to the little things—not just the [pattern of] the dream songs\, but maybe you’ll hear that\, and you’ll hear a melody from the first song in the last song. There are crossover things happening.” \n\n\n\nLester says\, “Physical Thrills is exactly the record that we wanted to make\, which I’m really stoked about because sometimes you look back and think\, ‘Well\, that’s maybe not exactly how we would have done it’ when you go back and listen to it years later.’ But I feel really proud of this one. I think the songs that Nikki sings on are like the best ones we’ve done for her to sing on. The lyrics are better than they’ve ever been.” \n\n\n\nMonninger adds\, “We’ve been together for twenty-two years; it’s really interesting that we still love doing this. We know that we’re fortunate to still be together after all these years\, seeking out the silver lining. I feel like we still have many more things to say\, and we’re so happy with how this album turned out.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Girl TonesGirl Tones\, of planet earth\, are a high-energy rock duo brought to life by sisters Kenzie and Laila. Both classically trained musicians\, Kenzie transitioned from cello to guitar and Laila from piano to drums in an effort to electrify sentient beings from this galaxy to the next. \n\n\n\nFor fans of Nirvana\, The White Stripes\, Sleater-Kinney and more.

DESCRIPTION:Logjam Presents welcomes Andy Frasco & The U.N. for a live concert on the Growing Pains Tour with Cordovas at The Wilma in Downtown Missoula at 8:00 pm Friday\, June 27\n\n\n\n\n\nLogjam Presents welcomes Andy Frasco & The U.N. for a live concert on the Growing Pains Tour with Cordovas at The Wilma in Downtown Missoula at 8:00 pm Friday\, June 27. \n\n\n\nTickets on sale at Logjam Presents Box Offices and online while supplies last. All tickets are general admission standing room only. All ages are welcome. \n\n\n\nTake a look at these tips to best prepare yourself for a smooth ticket buying experience. \n\n\n\nAdditional ticketing and venue information can be found here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Andy Frasco & The U.N.With curly tufts of a recognizable Jewfro peeking out from his omnipresent knit cap\, Andy Frasco is a cross between John Belushi’s “Joliet” Jake Blues and Jimmy Buffett. He’s a band-fronting\, songwriting party animal who turns into a swirling rock ‘n’ roll Tasmanian Devil onstage leading his U.N.\, not unlike Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band. From switching instruments mid-song to Frasco stagediving into the crowd or kibitzing with them\, an Andy Frasco & The U.N. show is a celebration of inclusivity and tolerance where “You do You” and “let us do us.” \n\n\n\nThe band has grown from playing bars to touring more than 250 days a year all over the country\, with Frasco describing that 15-year journey on Growing Pains\, the group’s landmark 10th studio album and first full-length effort since 2023’s L’Optimist\, showcasing Andy’s growth as a tunesmith in his own right. \n\n\n\nProduced by Frasco himself for the first time\, the collection’s centerpiece is the anthemic “Try Not to Die\,” a glass half-full anthem to seizing the day that combines country twang with an easy island breeze in its affirmative message. \n\n\n\n“Life is Easy\,” featuring bluegrass superstar Billy Strings\, Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country and co-writer/frequent collaborators Steve Poltz (Rugburns\, Jewel) and Chris Gelbuda (Meghan Trainor)\, is a folk protest anthem. “Swinging for the Fences\,” featuring cameos by G. Love and Eric Krasno (Lettuce\, Tedeschi Trucks Band Soulive)\, is a Motown-flavored paean to dating someone out of your league. The playful “They Call Me Hollywood (But I’m from LA)\,” co-written with frequent partner Kenny Carkeet\, features rapper ProbCause\, while the title track is a sing-song\, hip-hop-influenced rhyme about embracing change and taking it day-to-day. \n\n\n\nFrasco wrote most of Growing Pains in Nashville with his longtime guitarist Shawn Eckels and frequent songwriting partners Chris Gelbuda\, Steve Poltz\, and Andrew Cooney. \n\n\n\n“I came into this life wanting to write songs\,” said Frasco. “It took 15 years\, but I feel I’m starting to get credit for it. My cup is full. I’m really starting to see my dreams come true.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout CordovasThe story of Cordovas is one of rock ’n’ roll seekers\, hammering away in search not just for a platonic ideal of their freewheeling sound\, but also for some greater truth about our experience as humans. The band is fueled by the long strange trip of frontman Joe Firstman\, who had a circuitous path through his young adulthood — spat out from the major label system\, a stint as a bandleader on Last Call With Carson Daly\, and finally finding his way back to himself\, a mystic classicist who has guided Cordovas through their own series of twists and turns. That includes their new record The Rose of Aces\, which finds them returning with their finest collection of music yet. \n\n\n\nCordovas’ origins go all the way back the early ‘10s\, when Firstman decided he was best with a band around him. After releasing a self-titled debut and undergoing various iterations\, things really started cooking when guitarist Lucca Soria joined the fold. Firstman describes him as “the one soldier that understands what I’m doing best.” Soon the band’s vision cohered further\, and they signed to ATO\, releasing the quick one-two of That Santa Fe Channel in 2018 and Destiny Hotel in 2020. \n\n\n\nWhile it might seem like Cordovas were away a bit longer this time\, the music never stopped. The group\, in whatever form it currently exists\, is always active. “When you finish your record\, you’re starting the next one\,” Firstman explains. Cordovas is a state of constant flow: Firstman\, Soria\, and their various co-conspirators gathering in their twin outposts — a farm in Nashville\, and a hideout in the artist community of the Baja California town Todos Santos — to jam out ideas. Before the dust remotely began to settle on Destiny Hotel\, Cordovas were already back in the shop\, working up a trove of songs from which The Rose of Aces would emerge. \n\n\n\nOnce Cordovas had about 20 songs they were happy with\, they linked up with producer Cory Hanson. Firstman bemusedly describes the theoretical mismatch of the pairing — Hanson the Southern California kid coming out to Nashville to work with “a whole bunch of\, you know\, Americans.” Whatever culture clash might’ve been there was just extra gasoline. “He brought a super-charged way of thinking because he’s a genius\,” Firstman says. “He’s built his life wanting to sound like himself.” Hanson ended up contributing vocals and guitar to the album as well. \n\n\n\nThe Rose of Aces begins with a conjuring. “Your song comes on like a cure/ And you remember who you were before/ How many times did music save your soul?” Firstman asks on opener “Fallen Angels of Rock ’n’ Roll.” He goes on to trace rock history from Memphis to Muscle Shoals — though he’ll also quip he’s never actually been to Muscle Shoals. “I’m also aware of all the stuff that came through those places\,” he says. “The criss-cross of American highways\, you can’t take that away from me\, man. I’ve ridden those dirty roads a lot.” \n\n\n\nAs is their custom\, Cordovas held on to “Fallen Angels of Rock ’n’ Roll” for years\, road-testing it and letting it come into its own before it was time to really get it into shape for recording. Firstman reflects on how Cordovas’ always sharpening chops — the band’s playing\, but also his ability to push his voice further — let the song be what it always wanted to be over the years. While the song gives the album a rallying cry\, it’s not without its wistfulness — its title reflecting on friends back in the day who didn’t make it. “The important part is don’t forget what music does for you\,” Firstman says. “It can make you sad\, it can make you happy\, it can remind you of a better time.” \n\n\n\nThere’s no better way to kick off The Rose of Aces and Cordovas’ new chapter. The band has long cited influences like the Allman Brothers Band\, Grateful Dead\, and The Band. And while Cordovas can certainly jam\, they’ve also long been acclaimed as tapping into the more songwriting-oriented side of those forebears. From “Fallen Angels of Rock ’n’ Roll” onward\, you can hear the band honing their craft across The Rose of Aces. “What Is Wrong?” is a sunburnt twilight sigh of a song — originating with some ideas of Soria’s that the band then toyed with\, adding some lyrics (“Are you ready?/ If you’re free enough to do it on your own”) that Firstman worked on with his girlfriend. Throughout his career\, Firstman has taken fragments of various American traditions and turned them over into new lights\, and you can almost hear Cordovas’ music as a travelogue — easy-going yet careening forward\, from the laidback rollick of “Sunshine” to the swamp grooves of “Deep River” to\, eventually\, nodding to their home south of the border with closer “Somos Iguales.” \n\n\n\nIn true rock spirit\, joints are lit and roads are rambled down. Salvation is sought\, but characters stumble into sordid corners\, too. “High Roller\,” another highlight of the album\, tells the story of the narrator and his compatriot Stanley having a chaotic bender at a casino. \n\n\n\nWhen they’re camped out\, friends and artists come and go. The band jams\, and writer pals gather to dissect Marcel Proust or Marcus Aurelius. There’s an almost old-school\, utopian scene at play — like-minded individuals not just improvising and seeing where it goes\, but seeking a purpose through that discourse. There are all kinds of characters in Cordovas’ orbit\, including the namesakes of the album — hotel owners Ace and Rose down in Mexico\, who Firstman paid tribute to via an imagined Tarot card of an album name. \n\n\n\nIf the whole thing sounds like some kind of fantasy\, it didn’t come without a lot of missteps and rebirths\, sweat and hard work. Now 43\, Firstman has already lived more than a few lives. Raised by a weed dealing vet father and an opera singer mother in Charlotte\, the young Firstman took a Greyhound to Los Angeles in the early ‘00s and quickly became a buzzy young songwriter. He was signed to Atlantic\, and released a solo debut called The War of Women in 2003. While the album led to some burgeoning success — including opening slots for Sheryl Crow and Willie Nelson — Firstman embarked on era of self-sabotage. “I was a fucking drunken nightmare\, and the songs weren’t as good the second time around\,” he admits. Soon\, he was dropped from Atlantic\, but landed on his feet with the bandleader gig on Carson Daly’s show\, where his band included Kamasi Washington and Thundercat. \n\n\n\n“I wanted to sing songs I wasn’t embarrassed of\,” Firstman says of the transition from those years to Cordovas. As matter-of-fact and self-deprecating as he can be about his early LA days\, Firstman also holds that time dear as a crucible\, all the hard lessons he had to learn to become who he is now. “Everything is victory as long as you can pull it out of the trash and polish it off and identify it as such\,” Firstman reflects. “That’s a big part of Cordovas. We wanna be better people — but not just for nothing.” \n\n\n\nThat brings us to the parables of Cordovas\, the stories on The Rose of Aces arriving 20 years on from Firstman’s initial stint in the music industry. “With the philosophy\, I’m trying to get you to change your brain and work in a useful way for society\,” Firstman says. “What happens when you let that stuff in and you become it? What does your brain tell you then? Go feel that\, and the standard you set and the call you make to your friends and the thing you said you were gonna do that mattered. How did you feel the next morning? What song did you write?”
