NEW RELEASES, 3/29: STEVE EARLE, JOSHUA REDMAN, MAX RICHTER, SON VOLT, UNCLE WALT’S BAND, ROBERT NIGHTHAWK, WHITECHAPEL and more!

On Guy, Earle and his newly recast band, The Dukes, deliver 16 Clark tunes, both the well-known and relatively obscure in heartfelt, admirable style. As…

Mr. Gene talks about the Wheel Sessions: “Saw one of the best music evenings in many moons and in a stunningly focused audience listening mode at Wheel Sessions in their really comfy performance space called Underground Music (or sometimes at Greenville UU). The irrepressible and amazing Ignacio Berroa lead 4 top Carolina musicians in 2…

NEW RELEASES, 3/22: LUTHER DICKINSON & THE SISTERS OF THE STRAWBERRY MOON, JENNY LEWIS, IRON & WINE, AMERICAN FOOTBALL, ANDREW BIRD & more!
Astrologists apparently believe the annual “Strawberry Moon” (christened not for any red color but because it appears around the time the fruit is harvested) signals a time of transition.

SETH WALKER wowed us with a full-band in-store show to celebrate the release of his groovy new album, “Are You Open?” Stop by and pick up a copy today!
“Are You Open?” Seth Walker sings on his transfixing new album of the same title. More than just a question, it’s a challenge, an invitation, a dare. “To me, being open means being vulnerable and exposed,” explains Walker, “but that’s where the little nuggets of creative gold come from.

NEW RELEASES, 3/15: Hoo boy, we got stuff by STEPHEN MALKMUS, TIM O’BRIEN BAND, and TODD SNIDER in the house!
“Rushing the Acid Frat” kicks off a side of songs where the synths are accouterments to guitars instead of the other way around. These five songs are prime Malkmus — lovely, off-kilter pop graced with off-hand lyricism evident in both the lyrics and melody. If he needed to go through the stilted robotic futurism of…

NEW RELEASES, 3/8: PATTY GRIFFIN, MEAT PUPPETS, CHATHAM COUNTY LINE, MAREN MORRIS, NICK WATERHOUSE & more!
It’s taken Patty Griffin more than 20 years and nearly a dozen albums to issue a self-titled release. There may be no particular reason for the designation, but considering its intensely meditative character, her recently-revealed successful battle with cancer and her dedication to besieged causes like refugees and the environment, it seems like a deliberate…
