Pop/Rock Outfit THE HAUNT Channel French New-Wave in “Cigarettes & Feelings” Music Video

FM: KELLY WALSH

THE HAUNT

SHARE NEW SINGLE

“CIGARETTES & FEELINGS”
IN FRENCH NEW-WAVE STYLE MUSIC VIDEO

BAND CURRENTLY IN-STUDIO RECORDING SOPHOMORE EP
WITH MATT GOOD

“[The Haunt] are making the most of their formative years, channeling young adult angst into ominous orchestral pop.”

– Miami New Times (2018)

A swirl of indie pop and postpunk with a devilish alchemy that summons both blues and beats, South Florida-based sibling-fronted teen outfit THE HAUNT wouldn’t be out of place at Vivienne Westwood’s late seventies London boutique; a new wave countdown on MTV’s 120 Minutes; baking in the sun at the Vans Warped Tour; or a dystopian dance club in space.

As part of a concept-based trilogy of singles based on otherworldly influences, THE HAUNT follow the release of their ominous debut track “Why Are You So Cold” as they unveil a new pop-oriented melodic single, “Cigarettes & Feelings.”

Co-written with Christian Medice (LovelyTheBand, P!NK, Hillary Duff), the track’s music video was inspired by French New Wave films, especially Jean-Luc Godard’s Masculin Féminin.

“Cigarettes & Feelings” features a bizarre love-triangle between 16-year old front-woman Anastasia, Alfonzo–an alien she’s befriended–and a handsome new love interest. ANASTASIA explains, “As I begin to fall in love with the new man, Alfonzo becomes more and more jealous, eventually leading him to accept defeat and wallow in his cigarettes and feelings.”

Lauded as the ‘Best Unknown Band‘ by Miami New Times following the release of their self-titled debut EP and a nearly sold-out global tour alongside Palaye Royale, THE HAUNT have returned to the studio to record new material for their sophomore EP–due early 2020–with acclaimed producer Matt Good (Asking Alexandria, The Word Alive, Stitched Up Heart). Stay tuned for further updates.

TASH SULTANA delivered a powerful sold-out show this past Wednesday (September 25) at the iconic venue Red Rocks in Morrison, Colorado, building on her growing stature as one of the world’s most electrifying performers.

Packed with one highlight after another, among them “Big Smoke,” “Free Mind,” “Synergy” and “Jungle,” the concert was recorded and filmed for a future live project. The day was captured on film to give a behind-the-scenes look into the multi-instrumentalist and global sensation’s largest American headlining show to date. Leading the film crew was TASH‘s own touring videographer Dara Munnis.

“I feel like this is a closing ceremony for this chapter of my life which has been years in the making,” said TASH a few days before the show. “I’m happy to be able to document what we have achieved from a live perspective and show everyone the hard work that’s gone into these shows the past few years. It’s going to be a hell of night.”

The Red Rocks show was part of TASH’s critically acclaimed fall 2019 tour that has included a recent stop at the Central Park Summerstage (New York), along with an upcoming slot this Friday (September 27) at the Ohana Festival (Los Angeles). These dates mark the largest headlining gigs in TASH‘s career and come after a few spring shows in the U.S., followed by solo performances at 10,000-seat venues and festival appearances this summer in Europe.

Last year was one of the biggest years in TASH‘s career. Highlights include the release of her debut album FLOW STATE (Mom and Pop Music) which entered the charts at #4 on the Billboard Alternative Albums Chart and also charted across the globe. FLOW STATE was also nominated for the prestigious Triple J Australian Album of the Year award and six ARIA’s (The Australian Recording Industry Association Music Awards). Other recent accolades include over half a billion streams worldwide; the certified platinum singles “Jungle” and “Notion”; the certified Gold (internationally) Notion (EP) and the singles “Mystik” and “Murder To The Mind”; and record-breaking attendance at live shows around the world.

For those who have not yet experienced TASH live, TASH recently revealed “The Story So Far,” a three-part documentary series in partnership with YouTube Music that shows the journey from bedroom performances and busking to sold-out world tours. Check out the first two episodes now on TASH‘s channel here and here, with a third to follow.

TASH‘s shows continue to garner many critical accolades. Here are pull quotes from some recent shows:

“Tash Sultana left the audience in awe…”

—BILLBOARD, 9/21/19

“Sultana is a frenetic and expressive performer on stage, clearly feeling every chord with their body as they play.”

—ATLANTA-JOURNAL CONSTITUTION, 9/15/19

“When looped, Sultana’s cascading licks crash into thunderous, electrifying waves.”

—LAS VEGAS WEEKLY, 9/23/19

“If a musician could ever be described as performing with every fiber of their being, Sultana would be it…Sultana’s voice was astounding, rising up to rafter-shattering cries, and recalling Billie Holiday’s soulful tone during the more intimate moments. There was beatboxing, and there was beatboxing in a pan flute.”
—JOURNAL SENTINEL, (Milwaukee, WI), 9/11/19

“To see Tash Sultana perform is to enter into a certain indescribable atmosphere.”
—LIVE FOR LIVE MUSIC, (New York City, NY), 9/5/19

“A straight-up guitar-goddess, Sultana tore through much of her set like Jimi Hendrix‘s spiritual offspring, always lost in the music and never anything less than elated to be making it. She made it very clear very quickly that her guitar was her partner up there, and their chemistry throughout the night was palpable bordering on overwhelming.”

–Timothy Patrick Boyer, THROUGH DIGITAL EYES, (Providence, RI), 9/4/19

“Tash Sultana is a Melbourne-based multi-instrumentalist who uses loop pedals with such deft dexterity it can often seem like witchcraft…blends reggae rhythms, orchestral rock sounds, and mind-searing solos with a vocal timbre and delivery that is unmistakable for anyone else.

—DONYC, 9/12/19

“…sensationally unique experience.”

–Miranda Lipton, THE LANTERN, (Columbus, Ohio), 9/8/19

About

TASH SULTANA:

TASH has been playing music since her grandfather gave her a guitar at just three years of age to using fake IDs throughout high school to play open mic nights and busking regularly on the streets of Melbourne. Stories of TASH‘s mesmerizing talent eventually began to spread and before long, her Facebook and YouTube videos were receiving tens of millions of views. Now reaching far beyond the streets of Melbourne, TASH SULTANA‘s passion for music has thoroughly engaged a global audience who are hungry for more. To date, TASH has earned praise from the New York Times, Billboard, NYLON, Pigeons & Planes and more, an NPR Tiny Desk concert, and a U.S. national TV debut on “Late Night with Seth Meyers.”

TASH sold-out every single date on her first ever U.S. tour before ever setting foot in the country, returning just a few months later for another completely sold-out tour. Since then, TASH has returned to the U.S. for additional headlining tours, selling out major theatres and arenas and showing no sign of slowing down.

TASH SULTANA continues to broaden her global audience and appeal through her incredible live performances including appearances at internationally renowned festivals such as Coachella, Governor’s Ball, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Outside Lands, in addition to recent appearances at Shaky Knees, Bottlerock, and California Roots Music & Arts Festival.

The second annual “ABOVE GROUND” benefit concert, organized by Dave Navarro (Jane’s Addiction) and Billy Morrison (Billy Idol), was truly a night to remember. Taking place last week (September 16) at the packed Fonda Theatre in Hollywood, the star-studded event was an immersive evening of art and music celebrating the vinyl album as an art form, and at the same time raising awareness and funds for the treatment of mental health, with the profits being donated to MusiCares^®, a charity of the Recording Academy™ that was established to safeguard the health and well-being of all music people. *Read an exclusive Q&A with Navarro and Morrison below.*

With one standout performance and collaboration after another (*see media pull quotes below*), the musical guests saluted two of the greatest albums of all time, which were performed in their glorious entirety: David Bowie’s The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Marsand the Stooges’ self-titled debut album (celebrating its 50^th anniversary this year), on which the world was introduced to Iggy Pop.

And what a line-up (below) guitarists Navarro and Morrison welcomed to the Fonda stage with Tom Arnold hosting the evening.

Q&A WITH DAVE NAVARRO AND BILLY MORRISON

ABOUT “ABOVE GROUND”

How do you feel this year’s event differed from last year’s show? The energy in the room felt even more intense this year.

BILLY: The energy was drastically higher this year and I think that’s a direct result of pursuing a goal that is NOT based on self. That positive loving energy for change is contagious and if we ALL try to channel that, imagine what would happen.

DAVE: I think there might be a couple of factors. For one I think that there has been a broader conversation about mental health since last year, and I also think that we followed through on something we started almost two years ago which tends to have more weight and validity. Not just another jam night, but an actual movement. Billy and I have been playing Hollywood with so many different artists for so many years that I think doing it a second time was key in contrasting the difference between this event versus other gigs. I also think that our selection of albums to highlight may have been more generally known, but that doesn’t mean we will straighten out and ever go down the center. We choose albums that shaped us musically and that carry artistic merit beyond musicality.

Anyone who witnessed the concert could easily feel your dedication to MusiCares with your personal comments onstage about how the organization helps musicians in crisis. Can you give us some comments about this dedication?

DAVE: My dedication to the cause comes deep from within as I have personally suffered in ways that I could not possibly explain. The only ones who would understand in any capacity are the ones that I am speaking to. I know firsthand how isolating depression and mental illness can be and I feel I have a responsibility to share hope as I have found so much peace within the process of giving back.

BILLY: The dedication comes from deep personal experience, both with our own traumas and with our direct experience with MusiCares. Again, I think if you come from a place of truth and love, you cannot help but be passionate and dedicated.

Will there be an Above Ground 3 next year and if so, perhaps you can talk about how your minds are already reeling with the possibilities of which albums to present?

BILLY: Yes, we are talking about Above Ground 3 already, but there is NO way I’m going to talk about what albums are in my head! That is a personal process that Dave and I enjoy for months…discussing, listening, and finding two records that mean that much to BOTH of us!!

DAVE: This is something we have become incredibly passionate about and intend to continue as long as possible. It’s going to take a lot of work and luckily for us there is no shortage of amazing artists and material that we can utilize in carrying this message further!”

Here’s a sampling of what the press had to say about the event:

“For an industry that has seen so many talented artists, and friends to many, from Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell to Avicii and Prodigy’s Keith Flint, succumb to battles with depression and addiction in recent years, just holding an open forum like this is so important. And it’s easy to see why it is so embraced by the music community. In two years Above Ground has quickly established itself as a night that can help people while delivering some unbelievable musical moments.”

–Steve Baltin, Forbes, 9/19/19

“…a very packed Fonda Theater enjoyed every minute of the star-studded Above Ground charity event… Above Ground is the pet project of Navarro and Morrison, with the goal to raise suicide awareness and break down the barriers that lead people to suffer emotional distress in silence. One can tell that this subject is something both men feel deeply about, both sharing in-depth stories of their own dark thoughts. Such vulnerability is refreshing in a world attempting to shed itself of toxic masculinity.”

–Roy Jurgens, Buzzbands.LA, 9/19/19

“…it was the kinda night that can happen only in Hollywood. A star-studded showing fit for the cosmos. That the display also happened to be for a damn good cause only made it even more so. After all, if having our heroes resurrect our gods doesn’t help keep people Above Ground, then what will?”

–John Hood, FLAUNT Magazine, 9/17/19

“…there was no doubting the passion of the organizers in bringing these great albums back into the spotlight and their dedication to the supporting the mental health battle. ‘Who’s next?’ Let’s hope that Morrison, Navarro and their musical friends will be back for another year to salute two more classic albums.”

–Chad Childers, Loudwire, 9/17/19

“Navarro and Morrison rounded up some of the industry’s best names to help them perform two full albums-The Stooges’ first album and David Bowie’s The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust-and raise funds for an important cause…What struck me most during my time there was the amount of passion and heart that was poured into both the performance and the event. You could really see how each artist on stage truly loved their craft. But more than that, they loved it so much that they were determined to use it for good.”

–Carmina Taylor, Music Connection, 9/20/19

Mongolian rock sensation THE HU–now embarked on their first-ever headlining North American tour with 16 sold-out shows so far–are making serious waves on the album charts in the U.S., Canada and abroad with their critically acclaimed debut album THE GEREG via Eleven Seven Music.

Having achieved phenomenal success with three videos that combined have over 40 million views to date–Wolf Totem” and “Yuve Yuve Yu and the latest, “The Great Chingiss Khan“—the band have vaulted into the Top Ten of four charts in the U.S. and into the Top Ten of three charts in Canada. Overseas, they’ve landed on three Top Ten charts in the UK and two Top Ten charts in Australia (with a third placement in the Top 15).

“[The HU] are not just taking elements from Western music,” observed NPR back in January 2019. “Instead, they’re using some of these elements and making their own authentic music. So it’s not rock music performed by Mongolians. It’s Mongolian rock music.” And now THE HU‘s debut album is garnering critical praise:

“The songs on The Gereg range from Western-style rock anthem ‘Shoog Shoog’ to the pastoral tranquility of “Shireg Shireg” to the bold, almost bluesy swagger of ‘Yuve Yuve Yu.'”

–Bryan Reesman, Billboard, 8/23/19

“The HU wound up with nine cinematic songs that seamlessly meld their influences, often highlighting the areas where the two overlap… Given the global platform they earned via YouTube, The HU have an entire nation rooting for them with The Gereg.”

— Kelsey Chapstick, Revolver, 8/23/19

“…this album is great because the tracks provide a historical glimpse of a country some people may not know about. The Hu is on tour and hopefully, people will learn more about the band while listening to live cultural music.”

–Cait Stoddard, MXDWN, 9/14/19

This past summer, the band traveled to Europe and the UK for a sold-out 15-date tour in addition to performances at several major festivals including Download Festival, Rock im Park, Rock Am Ring, and Tons of Rock.

So far, the band has generated 16 sold-out shows in North America. Dates can be found in the poster below and remaining tickets are on sale now at www.thehuofficial.com.

THE CULT Announce December U.S. Tour Dates

DATE: SEPTEMBER 24, 2019

FROM: MITCH SCHNEIDER/MARCEE RONDAN/ANDREA FAULK

THE CULT

A SONIC TEMPLE

DECEMBER U.S. TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED

SHOWS WILL FOLLOW BAND’S FALL EUROPEAN TREK

IN SUPPORT OF THEIR

‘SONIC TEMPLE’

30^TH ANNIVERSARY

RELEASES

As THE CULT celebrate the 30^th anniversary of their seminal Sonic Temple album, the British group–led by vocalist Ian Astbury and guitarist Billy Duffy—have announced additional dates through the end of 2019. The new U.S. shows in December follow the band’s U.K. dates and support the September 13 release of THE CULT: SONIC TEMPLE 30 by Beggars Arkive.

The band Spirit Animal will join THE CULT for all the December shows. Tickets for the shows go on sale Friday, September 27 at 10:00 AM (local time).

Set lists for the shows will draw from THE CULT‘s 10 studio albums with the centerpiece being a super set that’s focused on the core songs from Sonic Temple, a pivotal album that brought together the alternative and hard rock audiences; some of these songs have not been performed since the album (their fourth) was originally released in 1989. Produced by the legendary Bob Rock, Sonic Temple had four chart-topping singles: “Fire Woman,” “Edie (Ciao Baby),” “Sun King” and “Sweet Soul Sister.” Sonic Temple proved to be an important moment for both the band and the wider rock scene.

THE CULT: SONIC TEMPLE 30 has been released as a deluxe box set and a 5-CD set. Plus Beggars Arkive reissued Sonic Temple on Double LP, which has been out of print for over 20 years. Read a press release about it here.

In a recent interview about the album, Ian Astbury explained how the band brought together hard rock and indie rock to create the unique, game-changing sounds on Sonic Temple. “We wanted to retain our core DNA as we went deeper into psych and hard rock influences. It was a complete immersion for me into art, film, music, poetry and literature, weaving those influences into what was to become Sonic Temple. The band was becoming more popular. We were in uncharted waters. Most of the bands we had come up with had split up or fallen off. We were accelerating. There was no real time to breathe. We were forming new allegiances and breaking the glass ceiling of ‘the indie outsider.'”

The album catapulted THE CULT into superstar status and remains their most commercially successful release. It has sold over 1.5 million copies in the U.S. alone and was certified platinum in 1990. It made it to #10 on the Billboard charts, and the aforementioned songs all remain rock-radio staples to this day.

The shows will be a gathering and celebration for CULT fans. As Billy Duffy stated about the tour in a recent interview, “I’d like fans to not only allow themselves a little indulgence into maybe simpler happier times of the late 80s for a few hours at a ST19 show, but also be happy that the music is now really their possession, not ours, and to do with it what they will.”

ABOUT THE CULT:

THE CULT has reveled in a controversial and storied career. Emerging from the darkly romantic UK post-punk scene with the album DREAMTIME, they followed it with the anthemic idealism of LOVE, the Rick Rubin-produced NYC street hustle of ELECTRIC and the textural amplifier worship of SONIC TEMPLE AND CEREMONY— deconstructing full circle for THE CULT. After a brief hiatus, the band returned performing at the Tibetan Freedom concert, then embedded themselves in the studio to record and release BEYOND GOOD & EVIL in 2001 just prior to 9/11.

BORN INTO THIS (named after a Charles Bukowski poem), their sixth album, was heralded by Mojo magazine as “a wholehearted, utopian, and irrefutably exciting record.” CHOICE OF WEAPON, The Cult’s third full-length album of the new millennium, made its impact against the ever-growing tide of disposable new media, launching a triumphant global tour culminating in an intense uplifting performance at Coachella 2014, acknowledged as “THE MESSIANIC MOMENT OF COACHELLA” by Rolling Stone magazine. In 2016 the band released its 10th studio album HIDDEN CITY, an elegantly brutal masterpiece inspired by a visceral exploration of self and soul launching THE CULT into another triumphant world tour, burning up stages with Public Enemy, Primal Scream, Foo Fighters, Guns N’ Roses and many others.

ICE NINE KILLS DEBUT “IT IS THE END” MUSIC VIDEO, THE SILVER SCREAM: FINAL CUT SET FOR 10/25 RELEASE

DT: SEPTEMBER 24, 2019

FM: KELLY WALSH

ICE NINE KILLS
UNVEIL THE FINAL ACT OF THEIR SILVER SCREAM FILM WITH IT INSPIRED MUSIC VIDEO “IT IS THE END“

ANNOUNCE OCTOBER 25^th ‘FINAL CUT’ EDITION OF

CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED 2018 ALBUM
‘THE SILVER SCREAM’ (FEARLESS RECORDS)

(Photo credit: Rickelle Tavares)

Bridging the gap between horror and metal, ICE NINE KILLS focused their 2018 Billboard Hard Rock Albums chart-topping release THE SILVER SCREAM on classic films from the genre, while even enlisting some notable guest vocal performances from the likes of Stranger Things‘ Chelsea Tamridge and Sam Kubrick, grandson of Stanley Kubrick, who famously directed the iconic Stephen King adaption of The Shining.

Taking it a step further, the band created their own mini-horror series starring vocalist and horror aficionado Spencer Charnas to correlate with each of the album’s singles, injecting their own narrative into the movies the tracks pay homage to. Following a prequel and four parts, the fifth and final clip– directed by Daniel Hourihan (Manchester By The Sea, In Your Eyes) of Slow Burn Productions— is out now, for the track “IT Is The End,” inspired by Stephen King’s popular novel-turned-movie IT. The animated single features musical guest appearances from members of Less Than Jake and Fenix TX. Watch it below or at https://found.ee/ITistheend:

“The ‘SILVER SCREAM’ film closes with a song that pays tribute to Pennywise the dancing clown from one of the scariest books and films of all time, IT,” declares CHARNAS. “Originally a novel by Stephen King, two very different films (both equally as brilliant) have been adapted for the screen. Jovial and friendly at first, Pennywise can switch to the embodiment of evil at the drop of a hat, so I wanted to capture that as best as I could in my vocal performance and in the video clip. Perhaps my favorite song on the album, it features incredible guest performances from two of my favorite bands of all time, Less Than Jake and Fenix TX. Will Salazar of FT, who co-wrote the chorus with me, does guest vocals and JR and Buddy from LTJ provide the sinister circus like horn section that enhances the twisted carnival of carnage that is Pennywise.”

ICE NINE KILLS recently announced they will release the ‘Final Cut’ edition of THE SILVER SCREAM on October 25 via Fearless Records. The album will include four acoustic renditions of songs from THE SILVER SCREAM with guest appearances by very special members of both the horror and metal communities, all of which are yet to be unveiled. It will also feature a thrilling cover song and a brand-new number that pays homage to Wes Craven‘s 1996 slasher masterpiece, SCREAM.

TASH SULTANA’s Performance at The Red Rocks Venue in CO is to be Recorded and Filmed

DATE: SEPTEMBER 23, 2019

FROM: MARCEE RONDAN/MITCH SCHNEIDER/KELLY WALSH

TASH SULTANA’S SOLD-OUT SHOW

THIS WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25

AT THE ICONIC RED ROCKS VENUE IN COLORADO

TO BE RECORDED AND FILMED FOR A FUTURE LIVE PROJECT

TASH SULTANA‘s sold-out show this coming Wednesday, September 25 at the iconic venue Red Rocks in Morrison, Colorado is being recorded and filmed for a future live project. The day will be captured on film to give a behind-the-scenes look into themulti-instrumentalist and global sensation’s largest American headline show to date. Leading the film crew will be TASH‘s own touring videographer Dara Munnis.

“I feel like this is a closing ceremony for this chapter of my life which has been years in the making,” says TASH. “I’m happy to be able to document what we have achieved from a live perspective and show everyone the hard work that’s gone into these shows the past few years. It’s going to be a hell of night.”

The Red Rocks show is part of TASH’s buzzed-about fall 2019 tour that has included a recent stop at the Central Park Summerstage (New York), along with an upcoming slot on the Ohana Festival (Los Angeles). The newly announced tour dates mark the largest headlining gigs in TASH‘s career and come after a few spring shows in the U.S., followed by solo performances and festival appearances this summer in Europe.

TASH‘s shows continue to garner many critical accolades. Here are pull quotes from some recent shows:

“If a musician could ever be described as performing with every fiber of their being, Sultana would be it…It was a thrill watching Sultana stacking layers of sounds for the reggae-touched ‘Jungle or the exotic ‘Be the Smoke,’ creating walls of sound with drum machine snaps and bass rumbles, with synth swells and wavy guitar ripples. These bursts of looped audio would come and go at a whim, expand and compress, essentially acting as a base for Sultana to build new sounds on. Spry guitar lines would burst into blistering, Hendrix-style roars. Riffs would intoxicatingly slow down in mid-stride, like Sultana had just been hit with a tranquilizer dart. Jazz trumpet struts added a cool noir quality to the soundscapes, and mandolin sprints brought a fiery flair. Sultana’s voice was astounding, rising up to rafter-shattering cries, and recalling Billie Holiday’s soulful tone during the more intimate moments. There was beatboxing, and there was beatboxing in a pan flute.”
–Piet Levy, JOURNAL SENTINEL, (Milwaukee, WI), 9/11/19

“The multi-talented 24-year-old performs alone (for the time being), utilizing loops and an array of drum pads alongside skillful playing on various guitars, horns, and keyboards. All that skilled musicianship is buoyed by Tash’s uniquely dream-like vocals which, depending on the song, can evoke comparisons to Macy Gray, Norah Jones, Christina Aguilera, and Chris Martin while still managing to sound wholly new and original. Tash’s songs themselves run the gamut of genres as well, boiling aspects of rock, trance, punk, funk, reggae and more into a uniquely entrancing musical brew…To see Tash Sultana perform is to enter into a certain indescribable atmosphere.”
–Andrew O’Brien, LIVE FOR LIVE MUSIC, (New York City, NY), 9/5/19

“In support of her stellar 2018 debut, ‘Flow State’, Tash Sultana brought her unique live show to a packed house and delivered an hour-and-forty-five-minute set that never ceased to amaze. A straight-up guitar-goddess, Sultana tore through much of her set like Jimi Hendrix‘s spiritual offspring, always lost in the music and never anything less than elated to be making it. She made it very clear very quickly that her guitar was her partner up there, and their chemistry throughout the night was palpable bordering on overwhelming.”
–Timothy Patrick Boyer, THROUGH DIGITAL EYES, (Providence, RI), 9/4/19

“Tash Sultana is a Melbourne-based multi-instrumentalist who uses loop pedals with such deft dexterity it can often seem like witchcraft. Sultana can play 20 instruments-including guitar, bass, trumpet, flute, percussion and saxophone-and blends reggae rhythms, orchestral rock sounds, and mind-searing solos with a vocal timbre and delivery that is unmistakable for anyone else. Their latest LP Flow State took home the 2018 ARIA award for Blues and Roots Album and the Pop Award for Album of the Year.”

—DONYC,9/12/19

“…sensationally unique experience.”

–Miranda Lipton, THE LANTERN, (Columbus, Ohio), 9/8/19
