Released in the throes of bro-country and before pop stars were crossing over into the genre left and right\, it showcased an artist completely unafraid to double down not only on herself\, but what she’d always loved: classic country songs written from the intellect and the gut\, hell-bent on truth-telling and both timeless and urgent all at once. Respected by her peers\, praised by critics and beloved by her fans\, Price created a lane where independent-minded\, insurgent country music can exist and thrive alongside the mainstream\, and became an ardent fighter for her beliefs in a genre where the norm is to shut up and sing. A trailblazer and a champion for the craft\, Price redefined what it meant to be a modern country artist. \n\n\n\n    And now she’s back with an exquisite\, truly timeless album that reconnects with her roots and pays tribute to the art of the country song\, inspired in part by the legends whom she now calls colleagues and friends. Hard Headed Woman is both a look forward and a look back: a way to march forward while staying true to yourself when the path of less resistance is right there in front of us\, and short cuts are around every corner. And a way to look back when we need to trim what is no longer working\, and to stay connected with where we’re from. It is a promise and a manifesto\, a love song to both a city and a genre\, and a defiant cry for individuality. \n\n\n\nIn creating Hard Headed Woman\, Price brought all of her power as one of  our most beloved and respected songwriters to craft a deep exploration of love and America in a time of unprecedented uncertainty. Featuring appearances from Tyler Childers\, co-writes with Rodney Crowell and a Waylon Jennings song that his widow\, Jessi Colter\, urged her to sing\, it is country music as only Price can make it: free of rules\, cherishing tradition\, hard headed to the core but with a delicate\, beating heart. \n\n\n\nSince releasing Midwest Farmer’s Daughter\, Price has barely slowed down. She’s made four records\, played Saturday Night Live\, been nominated for a Grammy\, toured the world alongside artists like Chris Stapleton and Willie Nelson\, released a lauded memoir (Maybe We’ll Make It\, due on paperback September 2nd)\, became an in-demand producer and was appointed as the first female board member of Nelson’s Farm Aid. And she’s been fearless when it came to genre\, venturing into psychedelic rock on her most recent\, Jonathan Wilson-produced record\, Strays. It would have been easiest to just stay that course\, and keep running. But Price doesn’t follow success or comfort. She follows the art. \n\n\n\n    It took a whole lot of hard work and honesty with herself and others to get there\, but that’s never stopped Price before.  “I made the decision that I had to rebuild everything from the ground up\,” Price says. “There’s all this pressure to be pumping out content\, and I felt the opposite in the way I wanted to approach this record and my life in general.” \n\n\n\n    Price had also established herself as one of the most passionate\, vocal artists in country music and beyond when it came to standing up for political and personal causes\, from the presidential election\, to abortion to gun control: happily hard headed when it came to the fight for equality and justice\, especially for the working class and underserved in our society. Price has always brilliantly woven her activism into her songs\, but her role as a spokesperson had started to overtake\, on occasion\, her role as a songwriter. She wanted to focus on using her written word to deliver the most potent punch of all. \n\n\n\n    “I always hope to do like Johnny Cash did\,” Price says\, “which is speak up for the common man and woman. But there have been so many threats and anger and vitriol over the years\, when I am only coming from a place of love.” \n\n\n\nPrice realized she just needed a break from everything outside of the bubble of family life and her art. She started spending more time at home\, writing songs alone and with her husband\, Jeremey Ivey. She started popping up in the dive bars and tiny venues around Nashville where she got her start\, sometimes just to play a country cover or two or dance with the crowd. She refused guidance to write for pop stars or compromise her values for a quick buck. Most of all\, she turned the emphasis in her music back to songwriting\, exactly where she began.          \n\n\n\n“So much of Strays was leaning into this psychedelic\, textural territory\,” says Price. The music lent itself to vibrant\, heavy stage jams\, with Price often hopping behind the drumkit and bruising her thigh from a tambourine beat. She found herself longing for the days when it was just her and her guitar\, playing at an East Nashville dive bar. “I always knew\,” she adds\, “I would come back to this more rooted sound.” \n\n\n\n    Hard Headed Woman is rooted to its core. Rooted in Price’s history and struggle to make it as a musician for so many years in a town that prizes uniformity and the bottom line\, rooted in the country and folk sounds that have become her signature\, rooted in the simplicity of a few key collaborators instead of songs-by-committee. At the heart of Price’s work is her creative partnership with Ivey\, with whom she describes as having a “soul connection.” “I’m a songwriter\,” Price says. “I’m not somebody who goes out and needs five people to craft a song\, and then tack my name on it. That’s never been my style. I have something to say.” \n\n\n\nSomething to say\, nothing to prove. The first song they wrote for the album that would become Hard Headed Woman was “Close to You\,” a simple\, pining call for a lover that is infused with the sounds of the desert. It’s unfettered and truth-telling\, accented by some flamenco guitar and Price’s gorgeous\, urgent vocals. “We played the jukebox while democracy fell\,” Price sings\, never letting her songs fall out of the context in which they exist. It’s the kind of thing that only she could write\, carrying both love and fear in one single line. \n\n\n\nAs more songs started to form\, an early boost of confidence came from her friends Rodney Crowell and Emmylou Harris\, who heard some of the work at a political fundraiser and encouraged Price to keep going.  “I have both of them to thank for building me up and making me believe in the songs I am writing in this season of my life\,” Price says. Crowell remained not only an inspiration and supporter of the album but a contributor: he co-wrote two songs with Price and Ivey. \n\n\n\n    The album that unfolded from there is drenched in Price’s unique story and unshakeable instincts: while Midwest Farmer’s Daughter was about her journey from childhood to Nashville\, Hard Headed Woman is very much her battle since from dive bars to tour buses\, through parenthood and marriage\, through scrutiny and sacrifice all while fighting constantly for what she believes in\, and the music she loves. It begins with a proclamation on the prelude\, which serves as the album’s mission statement: or\, Price puts it\, “a disclaimer and reminder that I don’t owe you fucking shit.” \n\n\n\n    Songs like the album’s lead single\, “Don’t Let the Bastards Get you Down\,” speak for the downtrodden and the forgotten\, an “anthem for people who are being overlooked in society and need to be lifted up\,” Price says\, “because we are up against so much right now.” As so many of Price’s songs do\, it speaks both for the personal and the political all at once. Price was inspired by the message Kris Kristofferson whispered to Sinead O’Connor when she was booed on stage at a Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary show\, and even got Kristofferson’s widow’s blessing to include his name on the credits. “I always admired Kris for how he stood by her in that moment\, instead of pulling her off the stage like they told him\,” Price says. It serves as a reminder to anyone who encounters resistance in the face of fighting for justice to keep going\, especially when it would be so much easier to capitulate and cower. \n\n\n\n“The song was originally written for a movie that never happened\, but it feels so timely with everything that’s going on in the world\,” Price explains. “The phrase\, ‘Don’t Let The Bastards Get You Down’ originates from Margaret Atwood’s brilliant 1985 piece of literature\, The Handmaid’s Tale. It’s referred to in Latin and used as a rallying cry for resistance against the oppressive regime that symbolizes resilience and hope in the face of adversity. Nolite te Bastardes Caborundorum.” \n\n\n\n    That spirit resonates all across the songs of Hard Headed Woman. The blistering “Don’t Wake Me Up” was based around some writings that Ivey stumbled upon in one of Price’s notebooks\, inspired in part by her deep readings of Frank Stanford\, one of her favorite poets due to his freewheeling work free of boundaries. They spun it all into song in minutes that chugs with the essence of Dylan’s “Subterranean Homesick Blues”: “The way this world is going\, ain’t where I’m at\,” Price howls in her powerful\, unmistakable voice. “Nowhere is Where\,” turns slow and contemplative\, road-worn but never broken\, the call of someone who has been to the mountain but never forgets the prairie below. And “Losing Streak” whirls in with an organ and out with a weary\, world-worn defiance: our worst times don’t define us\, but they’re always part of who we are. \n\n\n\nThere are songs that go back to the beginning of Price’s early grind\, like the western-tinged “Wild at Heart\,” reflecting on how much her life and the city of Nashville has changed over the years – and how important it is to stay true to exactly who you are despite it all. Another\, called “Red Eye Flight\,” is about both leaving a lover and also leaving her longtime band the Pricetags. “I’ve been with those players for ten\, thirteen years\,” she says. “But I could feel that I needed to make a change\, and to change texturally what’s going on with the band. But it’s a familial bond\, different than a friendship.” \n\n\n\nThere are a few choice covers and cuts\, too: “Love Me Like You Used To Do” is by Price’s friend Steven Knudson\, an unsung Nashville writer on whom she hopes to shine a spotlight (helping to elevate the town’s incredibly talented but buried voices is one of Price’s favorite pastimes). Friend Tyler Childers joins Price on that waltzing country ballad\, while “I Just Don’t Give a Damn” is Price’s “Jolene goes to Memphis” take on the Jimmy Peppers and George Jones classic. And showcasing how Price has been trusted by the greats to lead the next generation of country music renegades\, “Kissin You Goodbye” was given to Price by Jessi Colter\, Waylon Jennings’ widow\, when Price was producing her record. They’re songs chosen to appreciate the past and the present as she sees it – not as Music Row or the algorithm might dictate – and place Price squarely amongst her heroes as a living and breathing part of the new country tradition. \n\n\n\n    When it came time to record Hard Headed Woman\, it was important for Price to keep that ethos alive\, decamping to Nashville’s RCA Studio A and reuniting with producer Matt Ross-Spang\, with whom she made her first two solo albums. Though she has worked with everyone from Sturgill Simpson to Jonathan Wilson since\, it was Spang’s vocal rebuke of easy studio shortcuts that made her eager to reunite again. “He’s so unpretentious\,” Price says. “He fully believes in me\, he fully believes in my songs. He got us back to feeling it in your gut and not needing everything to be so perfect.” \n\n\n\n    It felt truly significant for Price to make the album in Nashville\, a city where she’s lived for over two decades and played a seminal role in its transformation\, yet somehow never recorded an album in the place she’s called home. The historic RCA Studio A helped connect Price even closer to the legacy of songwriting she holds so dear\, a place where everyone from Dolly Parton to John Prine to Loretta Lynn have made albums. “It felt like there were ghosts and spirits just hanging out\,” Price says. In perfect kismet\, she also launched her own signature Gibson J-45 guitar\, inspired by her 1960’s Gibson she’s had by her side for years as her career took off. It’s all part of the continuity that she wishes to create with her art\, not just with timeless songs but inspiring future generations of women\, mothers and artists in general who don’t want to sacrifice their vision\, moral compass or family life in favor of mainstream success. \n\n\n\nAt its core\, Hard Headed Woman is about that furious instinct to never waver\, especially when ourselves\, our values and our future is so clearly on the line. As she sings on the title track\, “I ain’t ashamed\, I just am what I am.” \n\n\n\n    “I hope this album inspires people to be fearless and take chances and just be unabashedly themselves\,” Price says\, “in a culture that tries as hard as it can to beat us into all being the same.” \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 Logan LedgerA Nashville-based singer/songwriter with a smooth voice and classic tone\, Logan Ledger built a buzz around Music City in the late-2010s\, calling to mind names like and . His career got a significant boost when producer signed him and brokered a record deal with \, resulting in an eponymous full-length record appearing in 2020 as well as 2023’s Golden State. \n\n\n\nA native of California\, Ledger developed a fondness for bluegrass\, old-time\, and honky tonk music from a young age. After a brief post-college stint as part of a Bay Area bluegrass band\, he migrated east to Nashville and put in the requisite hours working on his songs and playing at venues around the city. Industry insiders quickly took notice\, and before long he was working with the legendary \, who signed him to his imprint and helped foster a deal for Ledger with . The first official release from these sessions arrived in early 2019 with the singles “Starlight” and “Imagining Raindrops.” \n\n\n\nFor 2023’s Golden State\, Ledger worked with producer \, along with such musicians as Nick Bockrath and Jamie Douglass; it also featured a cameo by on “Some Misty Morning.” ~ Timothy Monger URL:https://missoulaunderground.com/mugevent/margo-price-wild-at-heart-tour-with-logan-ledger-at-the-wilma/ LOCATION:The Wilma Theater\, 131 Higgins Avenue\, Missoula\, Montana\, 59802\, United States CATEGORIES:Country,Country Music,Music,Singer Songwriters ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://missoulaunderground.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Wilma.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20251108T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20251108T220000 DTSTAMP:20251108T020048Z CREATED:20251106T032527Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251108T020048Z UID:10124418-1762628400-1762639200@missoulaunderground.com SUMMARY:Richie Rowe Celebration of Life at The Wilma DESCRIPTION:The Wilma hosts a Celebration of the The Life of Richie Rowe featuring members of foundational Missoula bands The Sputniks\, The Disappointments\, Blood Factor 5\, Selsun Blues\, and Velvet Handlebars at 7:00 pm Saturday\, November 8 in Downtown Missoula\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors @ 6:00 pm \n\n\n\nThe Wilma is pleased to host a Celebration of the The Life of Richie Rowe featuring members of foundational Missoula bands: The Sputniks\, The Disappointments\, Blood Factor 5\, Selsun Blues\, and Velvet Handlebars at 7:00 pm Saturday\, November 8 in Downtown Missoula.This event is free and open to the public.

Based in San Francisco\, California\, the band has developed a reputation for their high-energy performances\, heartfelt songwriting\, and impressive musicianship. Founded in 2008 by brothers Ben and Alex Morrison\, the group features a lineup of talented musicians whose core of their sound is defined by tight harmonies\, virtuosic string instrumentation\, and a foot-stomping\, back-porch spirit. \n\n\n\nIn 2024\, the band welcomed multi-instrumentalist Addie Levy into the fold\, adding a new layer of depth and dynamic to their sound. As a mandolin player and singer\, Levy’s contribution brought a fresh energy and a new dimension to the band’s harmonies\, seamlessly blending with the Morrison brothers’ voices while enhancing their already distinctive bluegrass stylings. Her presence not only broadened the band’s musical range but also enriched their live performances\, creating an even more compelling and cohesive sound. \n\n\n\nThe Brothers Comatose’s sound draws from a variety of influences\, including old-time bluegrass\, country\, and rock\, but they make it uniquely their own with a modern twist and a strong emphasis on storytelling. Their songs often delve into themes of love\, loss\, adventure\, and the human experience\, all while maintaining an upbeat\, rollicking energy that keeps fans coming back for more. \n\n\n\nThe band has earned praise for their live shows\, which are marked by their lively stage presence and infectious enthusiasm. Whether performing intimate club shows or festival mainstages\, The Brothers Comatose deliver an unforgettable experience that showcases their deep passion for music and performance. \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 Goodnight TexasGoodnight\, Texas is a band you’ve almost certainly heard by accident somewhere. And now on second look\, you’re deep in their catalog and they’re telling you stories about trapped coal miners and lovebird bank robbers. Banjos and mandolins twinkle. Now you’re seeing Avi Vinocur and Patrick Dyer Wolf and their band live and they’re swelling to a fever pitch\, suddenly singing quiet harmonies off-mic\, and then rocking out again. You’re talking to them at the merch table for a good while and you’re legitimately excited about their new album Signals because\, more than ever before\, it captures the vast dynamic range of the show and blends it with their expansive and intricate songwriting. \n\n\n\nWithout doubt\, the new album kicks. Lead single “RUNAWAYS” even features a blazing guest solo from none other than Metallica’s Kirk Hammett\, who admired the band’s version of “Of Wolf and Man” on the 2022 covers album The Metallica Blacklist. \n\n\n\nBut beyond the memorable sock-you-in-the-face riffs\, GN\, TX is reaching its roots deeper in every direction on Signals. Their first album-sized trip into the studio expands their sonic range\, thanks to Oakland’s Ian and Jay Pellicci (Deerhoof\, Tune-Yards). Stories of the Americana of yore bleed into the near past and present via DB Cooper and North Dakota oil field workers. Electric guitars pound like hammers\, but the mandolins still twinkle like stars. Is that song a little tongue in cheek? Are those strings? \n\n\n\nFurther googling reveals that NME\, Rolling Stone\, No Depression and Consequence of Sound have recently featured the band\, and that in 2023 they appeared at SXSW\, Red Wing Roots and Austin City Limits Festival. They’ve toured with Larkin Poe\, Shakey Graves\, Trampled by Turtles\, The Brothers Comatose\, Donavon Frankenreiter\, and John Craigie. Back in 2020\, their song “The Railroad” was the opening montage theme for Tiger King\, which had 53 million streams in its first week. Maybe that’s where you heard them in the first place. Or maybe it was the Coors Banquet commercial with Sam Elliott. Wait a minute\, they have a quarter of a billion streams across platforms. Maybe it was at a bar or in your friend’s car\, who knows. \n\n\n\nStill at the merch table at last call\, you learn: Goodnight\, Texas is a hamlet of 27 people and dozens of dogs\, the exact mile-for-mile midpoint between co-founders Avi and Patrick’s homes in San Francisco and Chapel Hill (as the van drives). The band is hoping to make it back and play another show for their friends there in the near future.

The best way to categorize his music is with the moniker “Timber Rock”. Scott naturally applies his own lens/stamp to the sounds of the Pacific North West\, the region he has always called home. The deep jazz\, NW rock/grunge\, blues roots and the west coast funk. It’s all there\, and often all in the same song. Listeners are finding this honest\, original and to-the-point music refreshing and fun. The mastery of his guitar playing combined with the fun recklessness of his songwriting show that the rules of songwriting and playing the guitar no longer exist for him. Scott plays with the uninhibited joy and intensity of someone who recognizes that every time we make music is an honor and a gift.

He’s not interested in telling the rest of us what to do or think. But he is charting out a personal guide for his life\, quieting the noise\, and sitting with his real voice – the one that’s candid\, consistent\, and often inconvenient. \n\n\n\n“We’re Only Human” is Carll’s tenth album. Like his best lyrics\, it is also an understated masterpiece\, an honest snapshot of one man’s confrontation and delight with humanity’s biggest and most intimate questions. Where do we find forgiveness for ourselves and grace for others? How do we hold on to peace of mind and stay present? What can we—and should we––trust? And how can we moor ourselves to\, well\, ourselves\, in the midst of confusing\, trying times? We’re Only Human offers audiences the chance to listen to Carll as he listens to himself. \n\n\n\n“I’ve lived outside of myself for so long\,” Carll admits. “Distractions\, fear\, anxiety\, insecurity\, and the complexity of being human in this world have so often pulled me away from being present or at peace.” \n\n\n\n“I feel like there’s been a voice riding shotgun all my life\, pushing me to do better\, but I’ve struggled to listen to it\,” Carll says. “The idea behind this record was to do the personal work I needed to do\, then codify those lessons in song to serve as sort of breadcrumbs to get me back on the trail if\, and inevitably when\, I get lost again.” \n\n\n\nCarll is more than two decades into a celebrated career. Praise from places such as Pitchfork and the New York Times––the latter of which yoked Carll’s ability to tackle tough issues with wry humor to Bob Dylan––punctuate a resume that includes Americana Music Awards and a Grammy nomination. His songs aren’t safe\, but many of Nashville’s stars have recorded them\, including Kenny Chesney\, Lee Ann Womack\, and Brothers Osborne. As a solo recording artist\, Carll has long-since established himself as one of Americana’s most-played––and most loved––voices. His warm but crackling vocals\, wit\, and heart dance through wordplay that’s always clever\, and never too precious. Through it all\, whenever Carll points a finger\, it’s most often at himself. \n\n\n\nAs We’re Only Human collects moments of Carll figuring out how to be with himself\, the songs feel forthright\, hopeful\, and timely. In today’s onslaught of instant gratification\, rage-baiting headlines\, glorified intolerance\, and falling empathy\, the record is a startling outlier: an artist’s raw\, real-life effort to live well—both with himself and others. Carll embraces private epiphanies\, and shares them with the world\, allowing them to unfold for all to see and share. \n\n\n\nOf course\, We’re Only Human is also art. So while appreciating the motivation and compelling themes driving it will underpin the listener’s experience\, Carll’s album also matters because of the sheer brilliance of its execution. These are songs composed by a writer’s writer\, wielding his considerable skill with precision and beauty. \n\n\n\nThe album’s title track unfolds with plaintive piano and a mantle of grace. Carll sings\, with a calming sincerity\, “We’ll do most anything to avoid the pain / Hiding our hearts and casting the blame / 6\,000 tongues\, but we’re all the same / Ain’t no need to carry that shame / ‘Cause we’re only human.” \n\n\n\nHard-won minutes of quiet clarity inspired some of the record’s most beautiful moments. Accented by bright mandolin and soft\, simple percussion\, “Stay Here a While” captures a peaceful reprieve from a racing mind. “I remember sitting on the couch\, looking out the window\, watching the birds do their thing\,” Carll says with a laugh. “I got lost in their lives for a moment\, and it was such a wonderful feeling because my mind is always going in circles\, seeking excitement\, and frankly\, just thinking about myself. I enjoyed the peace I felt in that moment and I thought\, this is lovely and I’d like to stay in this place.” Carll shared that takeaway with MC Taylor\, aka Hiss Golden Messenger\, who not only could relate\, but helped finish the song. \n\n\n\n“High” offers another invitation to stop and breathe. Opening with a solo horn\, flute\, and stripped down piano\, the track is lovely and sincere\, with Carll’s signature humor hovering comfortably nearby. There are also times when Carll’s sharp wit comes roaring to the foreground. “Progress of Man (Bitcoin and Cattle)” sends up society’s disorienting––and conflicting––forces\, while “Good People (Thank Me)” is a masterclass in comedic timing\, stubborn humanism\, and the untapped potential of gratitude. \n\n\n\nA dogged insistence on acceptance\, both of one’s self and others\, courses through the album— as does Carll’s determination to hold himself accountable. “If I’m judging others\, then I’m not having to look at myself\,” Carll says. “I’m flawed as hell\, judgmental\, and critical of myself and those around me. That’s a loop that feeds itself. But I figure If I can look at myself clear-eyed and acknowledge my own shortcomings\, it might help me have some grace and acceptance for myself and others.” \n\n\n\nIt’s that sort of harmonious duality––embracing one’s self and confessing one’s own mistakes––that solidifies the record’s big-hearted honesty. “The creative process was in large part a self-therapy session. I don’t think that would work if I was only looking at everyone else’s issues\,” Carll says. \n\n\n\nA moving series of grounding vignettes\, realizations\, and self-love roll through “What I Will Be\,” as Carll promises to not compromise himself to fit in. A slow-burning\, blues-tinged standout\, “I Got Away with It” is painful and gorgeous. Brimming with hope\, “One Day” balances the work Carll sees as necessary with the certainty that satisfaction\, contentment\, and peace are reachable by trusting in yourself and the universe. \n\n\n\nFeaturing a parade of Carll’s longtime friends\, album closer “May I Never” is a plea to himself. As Ray Wylie Hubbard\, Shovels & Rope\, Darrell Scott\, Nicole Atkins\, and The Band of Heathens’ Gordy Quist and Ed Jurdi each take verses\, listeners are swept up in a resolute promise to keep after good. “It brings up a lot for me when I hear them singing those lines\,” Carll says. Each of those people – whether they know it or not – have played a part in my story\, and it’s gratifying and humbling to me to have them lend their voices to this song.” \n\n\n\nIn the end\, Carll’s latest album is a lovingly and purposefully written collection of reminders. “I hope other people find something in it\, too” Carll says. “Through it all\, I am trying to stay appreciative\, knowing that I did what I set out to do: write something that can help me navigate this journey with a little more grace and peace.” \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 Ryan MontbleauA relentless road warrior and masterful wordsmith\, Ryan Montbleau has spent the better part of thirty years cultivating a devoted audience on the strength of his ecstatic live shows and exhilarating sonic versatility. He’s collaborated with artists as diverse as Trombone Shorty\, Galactic\, Steel Pulse\, Tall Heights\, Martin Sexton\, Anders Osborne\, and George Porter\, Jr; shared bills with the likes of Tedeschi Trucks Band\, Ani DiFranco\, Todd Snider\, The Wood Brothers\, Rodrigo y Gabriela\, and Mavis Staples; and racked up more than 150 million streams on Spotify alone. NPR’s Mountain Stage compared his “eloquent\, soulful songwriting” to Bill Withers and James Taylor\, while Relix celebrated his “poetic Americana\,” and The Boston Herald raved that “he’s made a career of confident\, danceable positivity.” \n\n\n\nMontbleau’s freewheeling new album finds him exploring the full spectrum of his influences like never before\, touching on folk\, rock\, funk\, soul\, hip-hop\, and reggae\, all with a preternatural ease that belies the intensely focused craftsmanship behind it. The songs are sprawling and unpredictable\, grappling with a modern world perpetually teetering on the edge of chaos\, but the performances are relentlessly optimistic\, insisting on hope and joy in the face of it all. The result is Montbleau’s most vulnerable and cathartic work yet\, an album that acknowledges the inevitability of doubt and pain while at the same time celebrating our limitless capacity for growth and love.

His latest evolution comes in the form of RISER\, a project due out Feb. 25\, 2014 that stands as his most personal to date. \n\n\n\nWritten and recorded in the year following his father’s death\, the album draws its title from “I’m A Riser\,” a song about resilience and determination. “I’m A Riser” works as a commentary on spiritual\, personal and societal recommitment\, but it also applies to the competitive battlefield of the music industry. It’s particularly appropriate for an album about rejuvenation delivered by Bentley. \n\n\n\n“Life in general has a way of knocking you down\,” Bentley says. “It’s different reasons for different folks – could be personal reasons\, could be family reasons\, your job\, drugs\, alcohol. That song really applies to anybody that’s lived. There have always been those moments when we have to get back up and get on our feet. They are defining moments…breakthrough moments.” \n\n\n\nAccepting change – and growing from it – is a key theme in RISER\, and it is reflected by the tone of the album\, which demonstrates a new artistic depth and an extra level of intensity for Bentley. It evolves from track to track\, exuding a range of emotions\, all the while impressing upon the listener that Bentley’s instinct for a hit is stronger than ever. Bentley made significant reconfigurations in his creative team to shake up his sonic texture without sacrificing his commercial drive. He re-enlisted executive producer Arturo Buenahora\, Jr.\, who worked on Bentley’s first two albums; and utilized producer Ross Copperman\, who co-wrote “Tip It On Back” for Bentley’s previous album Home. \n\n\n\nThe new atmosphere yielded the most focused and intense vocals of Bentley’s career. Some were recorded live with the band as the musicians laid down the tracks\, but others were captured in less-than-obvious locales. One track’s vocal was recorded on Bentley’s tour bus. Still others were cut at Copperman’s house with the producer literally at Bentley’s side\, pushing him to some of his most emotional\, and seasoned\, performances. \n\n\n\n“It’s not even really a studio\,” Bentley says of Copperman’s set-up. “It’s just kind of a corner of the house he’s taken over\, so there was a kind of intimacy to the vocal process. It was important to get out of the studio and sing in different places\, and to do it with other people in the room. That way\, you have an audience and you get a sense of what’s working\, what’s not working\, when it’s feeling good\, not feeling good. It brings a little more emotion and energy out of your voice.” \n\n\n\nSince making a life-altering drive with his father from Phoenix to Nashville when he was 19 years old\, Bentley has forged his own path in an industry built predominantly on formula. He has mixed elements of modern country\, classic country\, bluegrass and rock\, maintaining an unmistakable identity while constantly reinventing his sound. His album Home debuted at No. 1 and spawned three consecutive chart-topping hits\, marking 10 career No. 1 songs for Bentley as a singer and songwriter. His five previous studio albums have sold more than five million copies\, garnered 11 GRAMMY nominations and earned him an invitation to join the Grand Ole Opry. \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 Mountain Grass UnitMountain Grass Unit\, from Birmingham\, Alabama\, is a young quartet redefining bluegrass with a fresh narrative. Comprised of Drury Anderson (mandolin\, vocals)\, Luke Black (guitar\, vocals)\, Josiah Nelson (fiddle\, vocals)\, and Sam Wilson (bass\, vocals)\, they blend tradition with bold exploration. Their journey began with a shared musical passion\, forming a sound that merges bluegrass with country\, jazz\, funk\, rock\, and metal influences. Their debut EP\, “Runnin’ From Trouble\,” released in 2024\, showcases their original music and inventive covers\, inspired by legends like Tony Rice and Billy Strings. \n\n\n\nRecorded at Nashville’s Hartland Studios\, and produced by Mike Harris (Old Crow Medicine Show)\, the EP captures their live energy. The leading single\, “Hey Mama\,” explores life’s transitions with inquisitive lyrics\, while “Cicada Song” and “Smugglin’” highlight their funk and traditional sides. \n\n\n\n2024 marked a turning point with performances at Renewal\, DelFest and WinterWondergrass\, broadening their audience and deepening their musical exploration. With plans for extensive touring\, festival sets\, and new music\, Mountain Grass Unit is ready to share their luminous sound with the world\, each performance a new chapter in their unfolding story. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Cole Goodwin24-year-old singer/songwriter Cole Goodwin has garnered attention for his strong\, textured voice paired with his meaningful writing and return to old-school Country sound. The Pooler\, Georgia\, native burst on the scene in 2023 with the release of his original\, self-produced EP Soon Enough. Cole has toured the Southeast playing honky tonks\, clubs and festivals\, as well as opening shows for artists including Zach Top and Billy Currington. Last year\, the up-and-coming artist released what are now fan-favorite songs including “When You Get Home\,” co-written with fellow Georgia Southern University alum Will Moseley\, and “Catchin’ On\,” written with songwriter Justin Dukes. Cole was voted Savannah’s Best Country Artist of 2023 and 2024\, as well as 2024’s Best Singer/Songwriter\, Best Local Concert\, and Best All-Around Musician.

Axton and Badmoon)\,  he’s established himself as a prolific and proficient singer\, songwriter and guitarist\, both on his own and at the helm of his various ensembles. \n\n\n\nEven a small sampling of his musical output proves the point. \n\n\n\nHis “Blue Sky Rain” is both stirring and seductive\, an easy amble that belies  its description of the topsy turvy travails that accompany the entanglements of relationships. \n\n\n\n“Born of Chains” is flush with steadfast determination\, a rugged\, relentless bluesy-rocker that conveys clear conviction and a desire to overcome whatever obstacles are tossed in his way. \n\n\n\nOn the other hand\, “Everything” is an homage to romance\, desire and faithfulness shared with some upbeat bluegrass banter. \n\n\n\nHere again\, Matt demonstrates his remarkable fluidity and a decidedly affable attitude. \n\n\n\nNotably\, he also keeps good company. \n\n\n\nMatt has recorded original material with Steve Ferrone (drummer for Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers) and Hal Cragin (bassist for Iggy Pop)\, and shared sessions at the legendary East West Studios in Hollywood where Tom Petty recorded much of his work. \n\n\n\nThe songs include: “Last Search”\, a Southern rock-style anthem; “Born of Chains\,” which shares a  sparse and dark singer/songwriter vibe; the Americana style “What a Day”; the soulful strains of “Soul to Sell” and “The Big South”\, a blues groove reminiscent ZZ Top. \n\n\n\nHe has collaborated on projects such as “Abbey Road Reimaged – A Tribute to the Beatles” where Aaron Badgley of Spill Magazine called Axton’s cover of ‘Octopus’ Garden’ “pure genius.” \n\n\n\nAxton tours nationally playing large festivals and iconic institutions as well as opening up for acts like Midland\, Paul Cauthen\, Jim Lauderdale\, and Nikki Lane. \n\n\n\nThe verve and versatility underscore the fact that Matt is a master of many motifs. \n\n\n\n“Matt’s powerful songwriting and vocals\, along with his natural rapport with the audience\, was the highlight of the 4th of July celebration where we hired him to play for the 3\,500 people at Donner Lake\,” said Ben Martin\, executive director of the Tahoe Truckee School of Music and Tahoe Music Professionals booking service.

He has earned praise from Billboard\, saying Davis is a “modern-day storyteller” with MusicRow noting\, “this man never disappoints\,” and “Davis is one of the leading talents in a new wave of American country music” (BBC). Starting 2025 off internationally\, Davis served as direct support for Luke Combs’ stadium tour in New Zealand and Australia. Additionally\, Davis was direct support for Luke on his 2024 Growin’ Up and Getting Old Tour and followed with his string of U.S. and international shows headlining his DAMN GOOD TIME TOUR in the fall of 2024. Davis kicked off his headlining Ain’t Enough Road Tour this fall – the nationwide tour included stops at iconic venues including The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles\, Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison\, CO\, and Radio City Music Hall in New York City before wrapping up on Saturday\, October 25th in Estero\, FL at Hertz Arena.

Born in Texas\, raised in Louisville\, Kentucky and educated in Tulsa\, Oklahoma and… Australia\, Nichols has lived a lot of life in her 23 years and channels her observations and experiences into her songs\, often infusing commentary on everything from society and small-town life to current cultural trends into her lyrics. \n\n\n\nNichols burst onto the scene with the online phenomenon “I Got a New One” and has been building a fan base and online presence of 1M+ with each release with original songs like “Trailer Treasure\,” “Bad Taste” and “Somebody Cooked Here” each of them delivered in a sweet drawl thats both relatable and disarming. Her sparky release\, “Mama” seamlessly blends a broad- minded cheekiness (reminiscent of Kacey Musgrave’s Same Trailer Different Park-era) with a Toby Keith brashness and has accumulated 8 million views online. It’s not just fans who are taking notice\, the astute wordsmith has piqued the interest of the industry landing on a slew of “artist to watch” lists including Amazon Music\, Pandora\, Country Now\, Taste of Country\, Women of Country\, Holler\, Entertainment Focus\, All Country News\, Country Minuteand more. Nichols also captured the attention of Kelly Clarkson who covered “I Got A New One” on her show and the buzz surrounding her performance and Elizabeth’s reaction catapulted the song to the No. 1 song on the Country iTunes chart for multiple weeks. \n\n\n\nShe released her debut EP\, Tough Love in June and has already followed it up with new release including “Sweet Cigarette\,” the gut-punching “Daughter\,” cheeky ditty “Little Birds” and even cheekier “Oh The Things Men Do.” Nichols is continuing to create new music while also hitting the pavement to perform live. Since putting law school on pause in January 2025\, she has performed on several bucket list worthy stages including the legendary Blue Bird Cafe\, The Grand Ole Opry\, CMA Fest\, Stagecoach\, Kentucky Derby and The Kelly Clarkson Show and supported artists like Little Big Town\, Russell Dickerson\, Wyatt Flores and more. The PULSE Records artist is signed to CAA for booking. For more information and to stay up to date\, follow along on Instagram\, TikTok\, Facebook and YouTube.
