Courtney Santana presents

Living Through It All

LIMITED TIME OFFER | 10% OFF

NOW THRU THE WEEKEND

The lifelong backup singer became a fixture in her current hometown of Austin, Texas performing with Jesse Dayton as well as Kevin Russell’s local supergroup Shinyribs, after contributing her vocal talents to more than 30 albums while sharing the stage with the likes of Hootie and the Blowfish, Robert Randolph, Salt-N-Pepa and Musiq Soulchild.

That eclectic background has allowed her to develop a voice that fits snugly under the Americana umbrella. Encouraged by Dayton, who co-produced and co-wrote most of the songs with her, Courtney’s solo bow comes straight from her incredible tale of surviving domestic abuse and raising her two children, now in their 20s, living in shelters and even her car for a while. While performing as a vocalist, she found the time to write a book, Off Kilter: Getting ‘Right After Abuse, as well as founding The Survive2Thrive Foundation, an organization dedicated to providing support to displaced and unhoused victims of domestic abuse, and an app, Sanctuary PBC, which connects domestic violence survivors with safe housing.

Courtney Santana may have been “30 feet from stardom” for most of her career, but she is more than ready to step into the spotlight on center stage. Produced by Jesse Dayton and Kirk Pasich.

Mamas Gun presents

DIG!

There’s real alchemy at work here on DIG!, the 6th studio album by UK 5-piece band Mamas Gun - a rare creative brotherhood of passionate musicians with a knack for making music that sounds and feels timeless.

Andy Platts - the songwriting frontman with the golden falsetto (and co-founder of fellow Blue Élan band Young Gun Silver Fox); Drummer Chris Boot – the band's backbone, supplying the heaviest grooves with a jazz player's lightness of touch; Bass player Cameron Dawson, flowing and fearless echoing the spirit of James Jamerson but with a melodic sound uniquely his own; Terry Lewis, a guitarist whose taste, feel and vocabulary bring a crucial warm old school authenticity, and last but by no means least; Dave Oliver, a dynamic keys player whose profound command of the piano, wurlitzer and hammond organ joins the dots from jazz to gospel to soul with ease.

And what a sound this is – truly authentic, organic and deeply soulful - all recorded by Neil Innes straight to 16 track analogue tape. The mission statement: To capture the sound of 5 individual musicians at the top of their game, coming together to bring 11 lovingly crafted songs to life in a way that celebrates the best of the past and the present. The result is hugely successful, yielding intimate performances that put you in room with the band whilst the magic unfolds.

The themes covered in the songs on this album are universal. Those of love, family, hope, redemption, and like all great soul music, finding uplift in times of downturn. Indeed, in turbulent times, Mamas Gun’s music certainly connects and is a welcome balm for the soul. Uplifting, questing, nourishing and golden, DIG! is a pure delight to experience and without a doubt their most accomplished album to date.

Supersuckers presents

Liquor, Women, Drugs & Killing

At this point in their illustrious, nearly 40-year career, Supersuckers have nothing to prove to anyone. Formed in 1988 and led by charismatic singer/bassist Eddie Spaghetti, Supersuckers caught with a crowd that appreciated the group’s license to shred within the confines of killer punk rock songs, along with lyrics that didn’t take things so seriously. On Liquor, Women, Drugs & Killing, the lyrics are sharp, yet dark and biting —the trademark of any Supersuckers album. Sonically, it is more upbeat than its cynical lyrics. Produced by Billy Joe Bowers.

Rose's Pawn Shop presents

American Seams

For two decades, Rose’s Pawn Shop have evolved their version of modern-day American roots music, an anthemic, bluegrass-inspired sound that encompasses the sweep of rock & roll, the sonics of folk music, and the storytelling of country.

With American Seams, the band’s fifth studio release, Rose’s Pawn Shop celebrate that wide-ranging sound. Recorded during a series of live-in-the-studio performances with producer Eric Corne, it’s a raw, reflective album about stepping into a new stage of life, reflecting upon all the lessons learned and mistakes made along the way. For Givant — a journeyman songwriter who’s weathered the twists and turns of the music industry, unwaveringly dedicating himself to a project that’s earned high marks from Rolling Stone (who called the band’s work “a blast of 21st century pickin’-party music”) and GQ (who praised their “knee-slapping bluegrass-y twang”) — it’s also a chance to look back while still moving forward. “I can see all the water under the bridge now,” he says. “There are some beautiful things and hard things to look back on, but they’ve all brought me to this point.”

“Our music is a patchwork of American styles,” Givant says. “We have country, rock, bluegrass, and folk — all sorts of American musical influences, and they all go into the Rose’s Pawn Shop sound. We liked that visual, which is why we named the record American Seams.”

Trapper Schoepp presents

OSBORNE

“Hello Kelly, goodbye Jack, hello Betty, I’m ‘Back to Black’/We got Soboxone and security/I was in the Osbornes, it was you and me,” sings Trapper Schoepp on his new album titled Osborne, coming fall 2025. After relying on prescription painkillers and other substances for a decade, Trapper checked into the Hazelden Betty Ford rehab center near his birthplace in Minnesota last year. Fittingly, the rock n roller was placed in the ‘Osborne’ unit - a letter off from Ozzy’s surname but appropriated as such to honor the former Hazelden patient.

Channeling Black Sabbath, Suicide and Springsteen, this 11-track record is wildly different than anything Trapper has done. Produced by pop polymath Mike Viola (Andrew Bird, Dawes) and multi-instrumentalist Tyler Chester (Madison Cunningham, Jackson Browne), Trapper feels like he’s finally finding an honest voice in song and spirit.

“Mike encouraged me to lean into the pain and not run from it,” Trapper says. “It felt like I was back in the art therapy room of Hazelen but with Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath) at the wheel.“

As much as the album came from a dark place, Trapper says the creation was a joyful process. He had previously written a country album that he’d intended to record with Viola, but it was scrapped for these more timely songs.

You only get swerve hard for the first time once and Osborne is just that for Trapper. He says, “There’s a shame surrounding addiction and it leads people further into isolation and using. If I can help one person with this album, it feels worth it.”

Krstina Train presents

County Line

Kristina Train’s County Line is a stripped-down return from one of Americana’s most exciting voices.

The elegant Kristina Train has a voice for the ages — and a resume to match. The Savannah-bred, Nashville-based singer started at Blue Note Records as the last artist signed by Arif Mardin, paving her own trail between Americana, country, jazz and pop.

Co-written by Train and writers including Ed Harcourt, Kim Richey, Jimmy Hogarth, Mike Mattison and Paul Olsen, County Line happened almost by chance over the past couple of years. As studio availability, producers and players – including the strings of the Oklahoma Philharmonic in arrangements by Golden Globe nominated composer Brian Byrne – magically lined up, Train recorded live vocals with piano, drums, guitar, bass and pedal steel by sessioners for Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Heart and Tim McGraw.

The result is a collection that includes stunning originals, a flipside remake of Cher’s iconic anthem, “Believe,” and a trio of reinvented country classics by Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson—now sung from a strong-woman perspective in Train’s raw-edge alto, which steeps each nostalgic phrase in the emotional immediacy of 2025. The result is a collection that includes stunning originals, a flipside remake of Cher’s iconic anthem, “Believe,” and a trio of reinvented country classics by Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson—now sung from a strong-woman perspective in Train’s raw-edge alto, which steeps each nostalgic phrase in the emotional immediacy of 2025.

Across 11 tracks, there are lost loves, revenge, daydreaming, psychotherapy and two-stepping — all wrapped around the sweet and sorrowful tones of Train’s voice, which is at once familiar and fresh. With its stalwart major-key piano chords that evoke hymns, winsome yearning, and powerful storytelling, County Line is a parade of evocative slow grooves and honest choruses with hopeful hooks that burrow deep into memory. When Train pulls out her own violin in a reprise of the title track, it’s the perfect end cap to a tour of the modern Americana musical landscape.

Ian Moore, Johnny Moeller, & Jesse Dayton present the

TEXAS HEADHUNTERS

Metallic Gold is a Hardcharger Records & Blue Élan Records exclusive pressing, limited to only 300 copies.

Ian Moore, Johnny Moeller, and Jesse Dayton—three of Texas’ fiercest fretmen—join forces at last as Texas Headhunters, a band born from deep roots, old friendships, and a shared reverence for the raw, swaggering spirit of Texas blues. Their self-titled debut isn’t a nostalgia trip. It’s a declaration.

Cut over five days at Willie Nelson’s Pedernales Studio, Texas Headhunters deals 12 tracks of grit, groove, and gut-level truth. No smoke, no mirrors—just seasoned musicians in a room, plugged in and turned up. The chemistry is real. The result is mind blowing. Clifford Antone looms large in the story of Texas Headhunters—the spiritual godfather of the project, and the man who first recognized the fire in each of its members. All three—Johnny, Jesse, and Ian—were among the last generation of young guns taken under his wing.

Texas Headhunters isn’t just a summit of three badasses with guitars. It’s a reclamation. A statement. A reminder that Texas blues, in all its grit and glory, still matters. It’s not retro—it’s revival. And it’s not a tribute—it’s a shot across the bow.

She continued “performing live has always been where I feel the magic of music the most. There's something so special about feeling the energy of the audience and connecting with each and every one of you in real time. When I'm on stage, it's like every song comes to life in a way that's different from anything else. You can hear the passion in my voice, see it in the way I move, and feel it in every note. With this live album, I wanted to capture that same magic. I wanted you to feel like you're right there with me, experiencing every moment as if we're all in the same room together. The raw emotion, the spontaneity, the connection – it's all there. I hope you feel that when you listen to this album.”

Back For Me

Janiva Magness’s 17th album Back For Me is a treasure chest of lesser-known gems by well-known artists (Bill Withers, Ray LaMontagne, Allen Toussaint, Doyle Bramhall II, Tracy Nelson) produced by her longtime collaborator Dave Darling. The album features ace guitarists Joe Bonamassa, Sue Foley, and Jesse Dayton as they each put their stamps on their respective special guest appearances. Back For Me is a powerhouse set moving from the Chicago-via-Texas churn of “Masterpiece” to the aching gospel-soul-funk of Bill Withers’ “The Same Love That Made Me Laugh”. There’s heartache and heartbreak, but at the same time self-awareness and accountability and the strength and power that comes from that. In other words, it’s the blues.

Soul Asylum presents

Slowly But Shirley

Since the ’80s, Soul Asylum have been a group known for their raucous but emphatic combination of punk energy, guitar-fueled firepower, and songs that range from aggressive to heartfelt. All of these things are present in spades on the Minneapolis band’s gloriously, joyously loose 13th studio album, Slowly But Shirley. For Slowly But Shirley, it also helped that Soul Asylum turned to a familiar name for production: Steve Jordan, who had also produced the band’s 1990 effort And the Horse They Rode In On. Back when they first worked together, the members of Soul Asylum were still figuring out how best to capture their sound in the studio—and Jordan’s approach of having the band play live together in one room was ideal. “He taught us a language of players playing music in the studio,” Pirner says. “Which we were not at the time. We still didn't really understand what you were supposed to do in what order.” Decades later, both parties are in different places. Jordan is currently the drummer for the Rolling Stones, and Soul Asylum remains one of the most inspiring and hardworking bands in the rock scene, having broken through commercially with the double-platinum 1992 album Grave Dancers Union.

From Chris Shiflett

Lost At Sea

Punk veteran. Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee. Americana and rock songwriter. Modern-day guitar hero. For more than 25 years, Chris Shiflett has blurred the lines between genre and generation, balancing his full-band projects with a thriving solo career.

His latest record, Lost at Sea, builds a bridge between the honky-tonk saloon and the punk-rock dive bar. Eclectic and electric, it's a genre-bending country album that reaches far beyond the format's boundaries, making room for roots-rock anthems, guitar-slinging swagger, and the sharpest songwriting of his career. A California native, Shiflett recorded Lost at Sea with producer Jaren Johnston (The Cadillac Three), collaborating with many Music City heavyweights along the way. The result is a record that's every bit as diverse as his own resumé.

Named "Americana's biggest rockstar" by Rolling Stone, Shiflett has played a crucial role in shaping the sound and scope of modern-day rock music as a longtime member of the Foo Fighters. He's also an alum of California-based punk rock bands No Use For a Name and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. Lost at Sea refocuses his attention on a mix of country twang and rock & roll bang, showcasing the full range of Shiflett's abilities.

Radio: Alone in the Night is the debut album from Blue Élan cofounder Kirk Pasich's latest endeavour- the Kirk Pasich Project. Acting as the visionary & creative director, Kirk enlisted the help of several musical cohorts to bring his vision to life, with a cast that includes Dave Darling, Camilla Darling, Zach Ross, Ginny Luke, Bryan Stephens, Scout Durwood, Bernie Barlow, Scott Terry, and Holly Montgomery. Radio: Alone in the Night is a tale of two modern-day minstrels who have traveled their separate ways over the years, only to end up one night back where it all began and ended, where each chose their own musical journey over their one true love. For one night, they are in that city, with separate gigs in separate places, not knowing the other is there. Perhaps there’s something in the air, or maybe it’s just a feeling that’s hard to explain. But, as the night passes, they each find themselves wondering, wishing, hoping, forgetting , and forgiving. Yes, the story starts right where it began and ended, all those years ago.
