ASHEVILLE --  Riding the wave of their critically acclaimed 2015 album, Lost at Last, Jon Stickley Trio independently releases their 3rd full length album, Maybe Believe, on May 12, 2017. Jon Stickley Trio combines Jon Stickley’s rapid-fire flatpicking guitar with the sultry and wild, yet refined, melodies of Lyndsay Pruett on violin set over the deep groove of  Patrick Armitage  on drums.

“The latest record from the Jon Stickley Trio flexes new and strong muscles, utilizing more progressive structures and deeper pockets than ever before,” says  Producer Dave King (Of The Bad Plus). “All the while, the group retains its place as a modern-thinking acoustic ensemble with one foot in tradition and the other in a bluegrass honored future that allows for the avant garde, punk, and be bop to mix in freely and tastefully.”

Greensky Bluegrass’ Anders Beck  says of Jon, “Sure, comparisons to previous musicians are a good way to explain a new artist to the masses, but to do so is to cheat Stickley of what he really is: a damn genius, a musical mastermind, and one of the most unique, creative, and inventive guitar players I've ever heard…  Stickley's guitar playing shares as much in common with the flow of the greatest rappers of all time as it does with his flatpicking heroes...”

The Dexateens hit the road to SXSW in support of their latest long player Teenage Hallelujah, out now Cornelius Chapel records. After a brief hiatus the band is revamped and back in the studio for a follow-up record at Dial Back Sound in Water Valley, MS, which is owned by Dexateen/Drive By Trucker Matt Patton.
Since 1998 Tuscaloosa, Alabama’s Dexateens have been traipsing the sanctums of fuzzy garage and indie rock while sopping up classic country music’s best like a buttermilk biscuit swimming in a crock of soul and blues from Memphis and Mississippi like sausage gravy. Best described as a rock’n’roll man’s rock’n’roll band, The Dexateens released eight critically acclaimed records in nearly two decades (the latest being Teenage Hallelujah out now on Cornelius Chapel).

(New York, March, 2017) New York-based singer-songwriter Frank Migliorelli, along with his band The Dirt Nappers, is gearing up to release his new album, Bass, Drums, Guitars and Organs on March 15th. Migliorelli, who has written and produced music for advertising agencies, children’s publishers, and video games began writing and performing his own material over the past decade. “When you’ve done everything from writing music for little kids, ad agencies and half-naked guys in bowties,” says Migliorelli, “you want to step back and try something different.”

With this latest project, Migliorelli is trying something different: taking a simpler approach with his song craft, something which is perfectly reflected in the album’s title – Bass, Drums, Guitars and Organs. Throughout the varied tracks, Migliorelli aimed to capture a “live” stripped down feel while balancing acoustic and electric sounds and giving you a true sense of their live show. “I didn’t want to do a bunch of overdubs-we did as much as we could in one or two takes, and then moved on.” Migliorelli said “We focused on putting down the right parts, and resisted layering overdub after overdub-I think it worked.”

Recorded in Migliorelli’s home studio, Bass, Drums, Guitars and Organs features ten self-penned tracks infused with a solid dose of what he calls “Napper rock n’ roll sensibility.” Featuring a few old favorites, including the rollicking Great American Song Contest Finalist tune “Wound Up Woman,” as well as a new acoustic, and somber, version of “Former Femmes Fatales & Romeos,” the album blends guitar-driven rock, roots, rockabilly, and soul into one seamless collection. Opening track “When She’s Walking By Your Side” begins the collection on a buoyantly joyful note with its smooth harmonies and pop melody while “I’ve Been On My Knees,” which was inspired by the deaths of people close to him, reflects on spirituality. Other highlights include the drifting, dreamlike “Rafferty Train,” a story song about leaving it all behind and “Baby Put A Dress On” a lighthearted, sweet tune about a night at the “Firecracker Lounge” with your sweetheart. Whether musing on lost love, new love, or life events, Migliorelli’s songs will capture that all important organ…your heart.

Additionally, the album features the musicianship of Tony Tino on bass, Phil Cimino on drums, Eric Puente on percussion, Jeremy Baum on organ, Andy Stack and Duncan Cleary on guitars, Sherryl Marshal, Steve Chizmadia & Dan Pelletier on vocals, and Mike “Booker” Heaphy on steel guitar.

Sarah Dunn of the Sarah Dunn Band has just released the first single
“Figure It Out” from their forthcoming new album Unbridle Me  which will be released on  March 17.
 
“’Figure It Out’” is the song I feel as if I've been building up to. I had no doubts in my heart about releasing it as a single because it shows a new side of my life experience, and in turn, I think it reaches out in a very personal way to people. It is a very open and honest song,” Sarah Dunn stated.
 
The new album was written entirely by Sarah and showcases her
songwriting talent. “I chose  Unbridle Me   as the title track for
the album because it's definitely a reflection of where I'm at right
now. I feel as though I'm coming into my own lately, as an artist
and a songwriter. That's brought me a wonderful sense of confidence and freedom that I hope comes across in every song,” Sarah added.

“Will Sheff and I always dug the way our voices blended together when we’d get to sing together a few times over the years,” Booher says. “He is a close friend, and we are always turning each other onto new and different music. It made natural sense to me to ask him to sing some songs on this new record, and I’m so happy that he obliged.”
