What followed has been a remarkable rise for this young San Diego 7-piece, bringing their own version of SoCal “souldies” to a new generation of listeners. Their highly anticipated sophomore album, Got A Story To Tell, released in October 2024, is filled with immortal grooves, classic vocal harmonies, and sincere, heartfelt lyrics about love and loss. Their albums feature all original songs, written and performed by the founding trio of Alex Garcia (drums, guitar), Sal Samano (bass, drums) and Joshua Lane (vocals), and recorded at Penrose Recorders in Riverside, CA, the studio built by producer and Daptone Records co-founder Gabriel Roth (aka Bosco Mann). In just three years, the band’s “music of terrifyingly high quality” (UNCUT) has brought them to NPR’s Tiny Desk and TV show appearances including Austin City Limits, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, CBS Saturday, Kelly Clarkson, Jools Holland, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. An ever-growing list of fans includes Beyoncé, SZA, Alicia Keys, Swizz Beats, Leon Bridges, and Kylie Jenner, and they’ve recently been sampled by Vince Staples and Samara Cyn. Thee Sacred Souls have toured the globe, playing main stages at Coachella, Bonnaroo, Newport Folk, Austin City Limits and Lollapalooza, and nearly 10,000 fans attended their 2024 headlining concert at Celebrate Brooklyn. LA LOM In the vibrant tapestry of Los Angeles’s music scene, LA LOM stands out for its ability to seamlessly weave together the diverse genres and cultures of the city into its music. Short for The Los Angeles League of Musicians, LA LOM is composed of LA natives Zac Sokolow (Guitar), Jake Faulkner (Bass), and Nicholas Baker (Drums/Percussion). The roots of LA LOM reach back to 2019, when the band was assembled to play five nights a week in the lobby of the historic Roosevelt Hotel on Hollywood Boulevard. Initially tasked with providing background music for hotel patrons, tourists, and passersby off the street, LA LOM soon began experimenting with a genre-transcending repertoire that reflects the diverse musical diaspora of Angelenos. LA LOM started out reimagining instrumental renditions of the soulful ballads from the 1950s and ’60s that they grew up listening to on LA’s oldies station, K-EARTH 101, evoking the laid-back aesthetic that defines the region, and drawing inspiration from luminaries like Smokey Robinson, Aaron Neville, and Brenda and the Tabulations. THE WOMACK SISTERS The Womack Sisters—BG, Zeimani, and Kucha Womack—are a new generation of soul royalty, renowned for their blend of R&B, soul, and gospel influences drawn from their rich family legacy. As granddaughters of the legendary Sam Cooke, daughters of renowned soul and R&B artists Womack & Womack, and nieces of Bobby Womack, they carry on the Womack family’s musical traditions, infusing their work with the soul and passion that has defined the family’s impact on music for generations.

At 19, Rateliff moved to Denver, working night shifts at a bottle factory and trucking while testing songs at open-mics. In 2010, he released In Memory of Loss, a folky solo album on Rounder Records, followed by 2013’s Falling Faster Than You Can Run on Modyvi Records and the Closer EP. Rateliff then formed the rock outfit Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats. Since their 2015 self-titled breakthrough album, the band has established itself as a generational talent through their dynamic live performances and growing catalog of essential studio recordings. The band has appeared on Saturday Night Live, released four LPs, two EPs, and a live album. In support of their highly acclaimed new LP South of Here, the band’s first arena tour includes performances at Chicago’s United Center and Madison Square Garden. HANNAH COHEN Earthstar Mountain is an ode to curiosity. It asks what it means to live a life: how do we decide which direction to take? How do we stay there? And what happens when the rug is pulled from under our feet? Once again working with her partner and collaborator Sam Evian at their recording studio Flying Cloud, Hannah Cohen’s fourth full-length album Earthstar Mountain, is a keepsake of Cohen’s time in the Catskills, built over the course of 2020-2024, as blurred, shimmering memories come into focus to produce a collage of echoes and sonic souvenirs. Featuring contributions from Sufjan Stevens, Clairo, Sean Mullins, Liam Kazar, Oliver Hill and more, Earthstar Mountain is a love letter to the Catskills and in the interconnectedness of all things: in her past, present, future and alternative selves, in her friends––here and gone––and in the mountain that peers through her windows.

Born in 1952 in Arizona and raised in Indiana, Brown grew up immersed in the sounds of classic country, rock, blues, and more, shaping a broad and distinctive musical voice. After years of honing his chops in honky-tonks across the Southwest, he gained recognition in the 1990s with a string of acclaimed albums, Grammy nominations, and a CMA award. His music and charismatic live performances have earned him a devoted following, appearances on TV shows like Austin City Limits, Letterman, Better Call Saul, and collaborations with legends such as George Jones, Ralph Stanley, and the Beach Boys. Still touring with his wife Tanya Rae and band, Junior Brown remains a singular force in American music—truly, The American Original. BOB SCHNEIDER Austin-based singer-songwriter Bob Schneider, former frontman of The Ugly Americans and The Scabs, is one of the most celebrated musicians in the city’s history, blending genres like folk, rock, rap, funk, bluegrass, reggae, and country into a unique style he calls “frunk.” With over 59 Austin Music Awards to his name—including Best Album, Best Songwriter, and Best Male Vocals—he holds the record as the most decorated artist in Austin. Gaining national attention with his major-label debut Lonelyland, Schneider later founded his own label, Shockorama Records, to maintain creative independence. Known for his dynamic live performances, he has appeared twice on Austin City Limits and continues a 20-year residency at The Saxon Pub, playing over 100 shows a year.

Charley Crockett isn’t one of those people. He’s never just waited around, asked for permission, or let opportunity find him. Instead, the GRAMMY® Award-nominated Texas-born maverick defied the odds at every turn, tapping into a rebellious strain of country, releasing 14 albums independently, and grinding from obscurity to selling out some of the world’s most renowned venues. As Pitchfork points out, “in the decade it took Crockett to brush country stardom, the bygone era of music he loves and embodies arrived in the modern age. He is a key player in deciding where it will go next.” He has continuously pushed forward too. Since 2015, he has paved a singular path out of Texas. Beyond garnering hundreds of millions of streams, he picked up his first GRAMMY® nod for 2024’s $10 Cowboy. In the last year alone, he notably sold out Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, CO, the Greek Theater in Los Angeles, CA, and two nights at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN. Crockett and his music have also received praise from The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, and Variety. Speaking to his impact, CBS Mornings chronicled his journey, and he’s sat down for an interview on The Daily Show. Plus, he’s graced the stage for performances on Austin City Limits, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and CBS “Saturday Sessions” in addition to playing behind NPR Music’s “Tiny Desk.” With multi-GRAMMY® Award-winning Shooter Jennings as co-producer, the same unapologetic spirit, diehard work ethic, and no-nonsense honesty drive Crockett’s Island Records debut LP, Lonesome Drifter.

Known for an immaculately crafted but endlessly surprising sound that transcends the boundaries of roots, country, rock & roll, and pop, Alison Krauss & Union Station are putting the finishing touches on a new album to be released in 2025—their first since the 2011 masterpiece Paper Airplane—a critically lauded, multiple Grammy Award-winning LP that debuted at #1 on the Billboard Country, Bluegrass, and Folk Album charts. Over the years, Alison Krauss & Union Station have brought their phenomenal live show to sold-out performances at famed venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre, The Greek Theatre, Radio City Music Hall, and London’s Royal Festival Hall, in addition to supporting Paul Simon in Hyde Park for his 2012 Graceland reunion. They now gear up for their first tour together since 2015. The players—Alison Krauss (fiddle, lead vocal), Jerry Douglas (Dobro, lap steel, vocals), Ron Block (banjo, guitar), Barry Bales (bass, vocals), and welcoming highly acclaimed and celebrated tenor vocalist Russell Moore (guitar, mandolin, lead vocal) as the newest member—are five distinct personalities, each of whom enjoys a flourishing solo career. But when they come together, they transform into a peerless group of musicians who share a singular focus.
