ACL 2022 ~ Top Ten Rock, Post-Rock, Folk & Jazz

One of the wonderful things about this blended portfolio is that when one genre produces less than the others, another steps up to fill the gap.  This year, we are proud to say that all four made the list.  Some

ACL 2022 ~ The Happiest Music of the Year

The world had another hard year in 2022, and it’s sometimes hard to see hope on the horizon.  As we fight our battles, we need the nourishment of happy music that is positive without being saccharine.  One common theme below

Kalia Vandever ~ Regrowth

Springtime is finally upon us – nature is bursting into life all around. The mornings and evenings are lighter, the birds sing, the flowers bloom. The ongoing renewal and rebirth of flora and fauna are (just about) enough to lift

Judd Greenstein/yMusic ~ Together

It’s hard to believe that it’s been a decade since composer Judd Greenstein last worked with the sextet yMusic.  And yet, Together was meant for an earlier debut.  COVID changed not only the timing of the release, but the nature of the work.  The rewritten version
