Weaving between the melancholic story-telling of folk and sweat-drenched vocals of rock and roll, the music of Joshua & The Holy Rollers is equal parts lullabye and banger.

NOAH EARLE - 04/29/2019

I have long wanted to be a farmer/poet, but it turns out I’m better at making up songs than writing poetry. I used to travel from coast to coast playing these songs, but it became clear upon the birth of my second son that I should shift the music portion of my dream to the backburner. Despite all the demands of farm life, I still get a chance from time to time to play music, mostly for community events in central Missouri.

BEASTS WITH NO NAME - 04/22/2019

Facebook

Columbia-based Paul Weber and the Scrappers is made up by vocalist/guitarist/harpist Paul Weber, guitarist Dave Dearnley, drummer Justin Hickerson and bassist Jesse Mudd. The quartet plays original honky tonk — the kind of music that transports you to a dusty middle-of-nowhere dive bar and makes foot-tapping an involuntary reaction. Delivering ’60s-style country music complete with bitter lyrics about heartbreak, slow tempos and minor chords, Paul Weber and the Scrappers are a must-see.

Radkey - 04/01/2019

The Brothers Radke grew up in a shitty little pink house in St. Joseph, Missouri. Homeschooled. Bored with nothing to do but listen to their Father's records and start a band. Radkey is a rock band. And they kick ass.

“A progressive honky-tonk hero arriving at just the right time in Trump’s America”- Rolling Stone

THE MANY COLORED DEATH - 01/14/2019

The Many Colored Death is a alt rock trio based out of Columbia, Missouri. Formed in 2010, the band has internalized the aesthetic and influence of acts such as Soundgarden, King’s X, Rush and Foo Fighters, then spun those elements out into a fresh new style. Described by one fan as “a silky mixture of 70’s rock and early 90’s grunge.” Featuring a rhythm section that would make John Bonham and John Paul Jones proud, and a guitarist/vocalist who is equal parts David Gilmour, King Buzzo, and Chris Cornell, their brand of rock is both quiet and loud, dark and light.

&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;

As a composer and producer, Lynch has won 3 Billboard Awards, written five albums, and sold over 2 million albums without the benefit of live performances or videos.

THE HOOTEN HALLERS - 12/31/2018

Columbia, Missouri trio The Hooten Hallers are a high-energy blues-rock band known for hard-traveling and wild live shows, with a seemingly endless tour schedule. The myriad of influences in their music incorporates elements of rhythm & blues, rock’n’roll, honky tonk, jazz, soul, and punk with a thematic penchant for the strange and the unexplained. Their live shows take the listener on a seamless ride from unapologetically raucous blues on the lap steel and bass sax, to a sweet three part harmony country ballad, to a romping dance number.

DALE WATSON - 12/24/2018

Dale Watson, keeper of the true country music flame, latest album Call Me Insane, was recorded in Austin with veteran producer Lloyd Maines (Robert Earl Keen, Jerry Jeff Walker, etc.). The Austin-based honky-tonker carries on in the tradition of Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson with his “Ameripolitan” brand of American roots music.

THE CACTUS BLOSSUMS - 12/17/2018

The Cactus Blossoms sound uncannily like a sibling harmony act that just stepped off the stage of the Grand Ol' Opry or the Louisiana Hayride in the '40s or '50s, and there's a good reason for that -- guitarists and singers Page Burkum and Jack Torrey are brothers, and their voices fit together in a way that suggests a modern day approximation of what the Everly Brothers and the Louvin Brothers could deliver.

BEAK - 12/10/2018

Beak are an English electronic music band, consisting of Geoff Barrow (of Portishead) with Billy Fuller (Robert Plant) and Will Young (Moon Gangs), who replaced Matt Williams (MXLX, Fairhorns) in 2016.

OPAL AGAFIA and the SWEET NOTHINGS - 12/03/2018

AINA COOK BAND - 11/19/2018

Instagram Facebook    Soundcloud

Aina Cook isn’t beating around the bush. From the first notes of her band’s self-titled new record to the last song title, her musical ways and means are clear.

Within the first two seconds of opener “Brand New Knife,” Cook conveys curiosity and emotion through wordless vocalizing. Just fifteen seconds in, she ups the ante with a growling statement of purpose.

Skip to the end of the record and you’ll find closer “Born to Sing the Blues.” The record’s ten songs connect the dots between its first sounds and closing argument. Cook possesses a powerhouse voice, and she spends it exhorting listeners to reach inside and discover their own wells of strength, soul, melancholy and regret.

A former member of the Columbia music scene now based in St. Louis, Cook’s passionate, expressive sound recalls modern blues and soul royalty such as Susan Tedeschi and Sharon Jones as well as more pop-oriented artists such as Leona Lewis and Gavin DeGraw.

THE RUM DRUM RAMBLERS - 11/05/2018

Facebook    Soundcloud

From Christian Schaeffer at the Riverfront Times:

The backward-glancing trio Rum Drum Ramblers is most commonly thought of as a blues band, and certainly, the young men in the group seek to revive a certain strand of acoustic, prewar blues music. But after listening to its second album, Mean Scene, one could argue that the Ramblers is a soul band; just listen for a few minutes to guitarist and singer Mat Wilson’s sweet, husky voice and feel the easy rhythm of the best early R&B singers. Or perhaps it’s best to describe it as a country act: There’s so much twang-bangin’ and swift-pickin’ on “Nothin’ New” that Buck Owens is probably tipping his ten-gallon hat to these fellows from the great beyond. But then, terming the Rum Drum Ramblers as country (or blues or soul) would ignore the jazzy underpinnings that Joey Glynn pumps out of his sonorous upright bass and the forceful blowing of its guest horn players. Better yet to put genre tags aside and let the Ramblers interpretation of American folk idioms fan you like a humid breeze...

ANDREW RYAN - 10/22/2018

Facebook    Soundcloud    Instagram

Andrew Ryan is a St. Louis-based producer turned musician after being in the industry for 13 years. Ryan is a graduate of the Conservatory of Recording Arts & Sciences (CRAS) and shortly afterward landed an internship with indie rock recording legend Steve Albini at his Chicago studio, Electrical Audio.

Ryan released his freshman album "Across Currents" on September 29th, 2017. The album is meant to be a shadow of Ryan's life over the previous years touching subjects like his relationship with his daughter, the loss of one of his best friends, the general pressures of life, and the restlessness leading up to this point. It has a middle-of-the-road tone that mixes alt-country with elements of indie rock. Songs like "Take Aim" combine quiet, guitar picking with soothing cello, toy-like glockenspiel, and melodic piano to create sounds you'd hear in "Perks of a Wallflower" or "13 Reasons Why." Other songs such as "Fire" stay true to the indie rock feel with feedback and reverse guitars driving a steady, almost anthem-like melody. The 12-song album was written and mixed by Ryan and later cut to vinyl by six-time, Grammy award winning producer, Jeff Powell.

Notably, Ryan and his band have supported Rayland Baxter, Jay Allen, Andrew Bryant (of Water Liars).

RAE FITZGERALD - 10/08/2018...

Facebook

Urgency is a friend to Rae Fitzgerald. While much of contemporary music shies away from emotionality and embraces a cool detachment, this 27 year-old’s intricate—and at times, eviscerating—lyric-work forces the listener to embrace universal emotions of sorrow, hope and bewildered wonder.

Born south of St. Louis and raised in the Muscle Shoals area of Alabama, Fitzgerald has honed her craft in iconic cities of musical innovation. She’s spent extended periods of time in Bakersfield, California, and, most recently, Austin, Texas, though she considers Columbia, Missouri home.

Lyrically heavy, the crux of Fitzgerald’s work is the autobiographical depiction of life changing situations, relationships and observations. This creative writing major’s words are heavy-hitting—a strength she accentuates with dreamy vocals, ethereal melodies and grooving beats.

&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;

PAUL WEBER and THE SCRAPPERS...09/24/2018...

Columbia-based Paul Weber and the Scrappers is made up by vocalist/guitarist/harpist Paul Weber, guitarist Dave Dearnley, drummer Justin Hickerson and bassist Jesse Mudd. The quartet plays original honky tonk — the kind of music that transports you to a dusty middle-of-nowhere dive bar and makes foot-tapping an involuntary reaction. Delivering ’60s-style country music complete with bitter lyrics about heartbreak, slow tempos and minor chords, Paul Weber and the Scrappers are a must-see.

BLIND MELON...06/23/08...

In recent years, the tale of Blind Melon has taken a dramatic turn – from an abrupt and tragic end, to a rebirth and reconnection with their legion of fans. No matter how you slice it, the group was responsible for some of the most memorable and pure-sounding rock music of the ‘90s. And with their reformation in 2006 with singer Travis Warren, Blind Melon are poised to pick up exactly where they left off a decade earlier...

BEANGROWERS...06/16/08...

Amongst the broadening horizons of the European music scene you will find the Beangrowers. Hailing from the Mediterranean island of Malta, this female-fronted three-piece has become known for their unique style and infectious mixture of guitar-based pop and quirky keyboard sounds: think Blondie meets Joy Division. "Keeper of the angelic vocal chords" – front-woman/lead guitarist Alison Galea is up there alongside PJ and Nina Persson. and supported by band-mates Mark Sansone (bass, synths) and Ian Schranz (drums, synths)...

D NUMBERS...06/09/08...

D Numbers is the life's work of three close friends who live in Santa Fe, NM. Since the band's inception in 2002, D Numbers has been steadily forging their own path in a jaded and post-everything modern music scene. It's not the kind of music that can be described in a nice little catch phrase, although some have tried ("prog-bot" being one of the more colorful attempts made by one Dallas writer). D Numbers' broad range of influences and long process of group development have led to a complex and unique hybrid of instrumental rock and electronica. Their powerful live shows have earned them a diverse and loyal following, while their début CD, Lightparade, proves that the trio easily bridges the span between the stage and the studio.

CORRADO ROSSI...05/26/08...

I have an extensive background in both Classical music and electronic music technologies.

After the Classical studies and the Piano Degree I started to dedicate my spare time to hard-disk recording and Ambient & Soundtrack music, composing unique instrumental pieces with a blend of piano, guitars, synths, bass and chill-out rhythms and arrange them to the final product.

I still continue composing new Piano solo songs, I love improvising at my Piano!

SUN KIL MOON...05/12/08...

BLUE RODEO...04/28/08...

Canada's most popular roots rock band, Blue Rodeo became a veritable institution in their home country, although they never quite moved beyond cult status in the U.S. Their sound was a basic blend of country, folk, and rock, but with a definite pop appeal that underlined their devotion to later-period Beatles, in addition to expected touchstones like Gram Parsons, Bob Dylan, and the Band.

THE TRAGICALLY HIP...03/31/08...

“There’s this fuckin’ band you’ve gotta see, They used to scare the livin’ shit outta me!” An Inch An Hour In March 1988, The Tragically Hip was a band you had to see. The Kingston quintet's reputation had preceded it to Winnipeg, first stop on its inaugural cross-Canada tour. Having spent the previous two years barnstorming the pubs, clubs and beer halls of Ontario, the group had released an eight-song, eponymous mini-album. Smalltown Bringdown and Last American Exit were being played at local radio and a feature on The New Music had prepped Prairie audiences for a young band that played no-frills rock 'n' roll. Rob Baker, Gordon Downie, Johnny Fay, Paul Langlois and Gord Sinclair looked like a gang -- a T-shirts and jeans group in an age of teased hair and spandex. Their sound was an improbable, riffing roar that left mouths agape. Downie's lithe, sweat-soaked performances transfixed audiences...

MARTIN BALL...03/17/08...

Martin first began to post his music on the internet in early 2000 on the then-dynamic Mp3.com. His music proved popular on the site, and for some time he had the top rated song in the Santa Barbara area, as well as on the goth and shoegazer charts. When Mp3.com collapsed and was gobbled up into the mainstream music site that it is today, rather than the burgeoning independent community that it had been, Martin had to look elsewhere for places to host his music...

D NUMBERS...03/03/08...
D Numbers is the life's work of three close friends who live in Santa Fe, NM. Since the band's inception in 2002, D Numbers has been steadily forging their own path in a jaded and post-everything modern music scene. It's not the kind of music that can be described in a nice little catch phrase, although some have tried ("prog-bot" being one of the more colorful attempts made by one Dallas writer). D Numbers' broad range of influences and long process of group development have led to a complex and unique hybrid of instrumental rock and electronica. Their powerful live shows have earned them a diverse and loyal following, while their début CD, Lightparade, proves that the trio easily bridges the span between the stage and the studio.

ASYLUM STREET SPANKERS...01/21/08...

The magnificently indefinable Asylum Street Spankers began in 1994 at a booze and hallucinogen-fueled party at the Dabbs Hotel in Llano, Texas. There Christina Marrs and Guy Forsyth met Wammo. During a night spent singing and playing along the banks of the Llano River they made a pact to keep the all-night-sing-along-anything-goes spirit of that party alive. Upon returning to Austin they gathered a few like-minded pals and began playing free shows at clubs and busking on the Guadalupe Street Drag. (Guadalupe was known as Asylum Street because it led to the state, um, hospital. A Spanker is someone who can play their instrument vigorously and proficiently.)...MORE...

THE STARLINGS...12/24/07...

Led by the magnetic harmonies and songwriting of Joy Mills and Tom Parker, this murmuration combines lyrics and vocals that are all at once wistful and fierce, haunting and soothing. Their approach is contemporary and inventive, inspired by the classics of country, folk and Appalachia. Tasteful lines of guitar, banjo, harmonica and mandolin give front porch flavors to the songs, while Aimee Zoe Tubbs provides the solid and stylish foundation on drums and backing vocals. Elemental themes create The Starlings' solid repertoire. From a pin-dropping ballad to a foot-stomping barnburner, their images linger – empty boxcars, twilight on the prairie, divining rods, river beds, the long drive home, and an underlying wonder at the mystery of it all.

Theodore is, at present, Justin Kinkel-Schuster, Jason Torbitzky, JJ Hamon, and Andy Lashier. We're based in St. Louis, Missouri. We play mostly quiet songs with a certain measure of reserve, although we all like to be loud every now and then. The most casually applicable label for our music is probably folk but we love many things that we hope come out in what we play. We play songs that are driven by years of ripe Southern and Midwestern desolation and oldfashionedness, and that are firmly grounded in the ultimate fallibility and infinite hope of people.

With its sassy high-hat, aggressive lyrics, snappy guitar, and Locke’s flights into falsetto vocalismo, the track conjures old-school, FM-radio soul while also sounding … new. I like the little things that sound familiar, Locke says, but that you’ve never heard before. Locke calls his occasional forays into country and disco, Crisco.

From birth to age four I was lucky enough to frequently sit at the feet of my dear ol’ pop in Parkville, Missouri, while he strummed his guitar with his brothers. Grandpa Rausch with a mountain dulcimer in his lap or a harmonica to his lips, mama singin’ along . . . I danced in the cigarette smoke and played ball in the house with my sister and cousins. There was a bloody nose here and there and babies a-cryin’, but above all the music never stopped.

LIZZIE WEST AND THE WHITE BUFFALO...06/11/07...

After picking up the guitar at 23, I taught myself to sing through my soul. I took to the holy road and spent the last nine years researching how things seem to work on earth. After growing through The Machine, fighting censorship, and losing both my parents to Cancer, in a sudden two years, I’m still learning how to alter reality and live in the now...I'm just now beginning to understand what the songs are trying to say to me, codes for the journey Home. The Dharma Dog gave me his eye, Mama gave me herself and the clouds and I found my Baba Buffalo (Anthony Kieraldo) at the cafe in front of a tennis ball lemon tree. That's when I watched another kind of White Buffalo be born, the kind that has people for legs, dreams for a brain, music for a heart and the movement shaking through it when it wakes.

It was January of 2003, and the new Marcy Playground CD was already three years overdue. A bunch of new demos had been recorded in the basement studio at my house in Pennsylvania. We had subversively leaked some of them to our fans through the Marcy website the year before. The response was immediate and overwhelming. It was, according to our friends and fans, the best stuff we'd ever done. Record companies began calling, radio stations were casually announcing the pending arrival of a new Marcy album, and our website bulletin board was abuzz with activity. Me... I was in a state of quiet hysteria...

From Filter Magazine- "Devotchka may be the best band in America youve never heard of. This fascinating little quartet from Denver Colorado has made a wistful, beautifully-arranged something that isnt really an indie rock record, and isnt really a jazz record, and isnt really a mariachi/norteno (or Eastern European) folk record. Its the album you put on when you want to wallow, when you want to brood, when you want to shut your windows and close your blinds and lose yourself in the wistful tragedy of love and loss and hope and nostalgia that bubbles to the surface in all of your darker, finer moments. It makes you think. It makes you long. It makes you dream.

We need to realize the importance of understanding our true nature and relationship to all that is. Sorry, but we weren't "born into sin". We are in fact, perfect creations. The only imperfection on this planet is the way that we think. Many of us travel here but few realize why we did. I chose this life to help "the others". Why are you here?

JOE STICKLEY'S BLUEPRINT...

With influences as diverse as Bob Dylan and Ian MacKaye, Joe Stickley serves as an alter ego of sorts for the members of the band Bockman, who, along with the band's namesake, comprise this unique American outfit. With creative attention focused on the art of storytelling, Joe Stickley’s Blue Print serves as a technical foundation of rock and folk musings arranged with care and attention to detail.

DAVE SIMMONS...

Dave Simmons is an indie artist who released his first solo record in March, 2006. It's titled "Disengage" and consists of acoustic jazz/rock and alt-blues instrumental cuts. The 14 improvisational tracks feature instrumental guitar which spreads out beyond typical stylistic boundaries while maintaining subtle roots in a given traditional music genre. TAXI-the world's leading independent A&R company stated "You've done a fine job of presenting yourself and your music in a professional, attractive manner. Your guitar sound is gorgeous-mellow, ringing bass notes and crisp, clear highs. Your playing is assured. The recording is very well done. Your use of effects adds variety and appeal to the CD. I like the way you are working with tones and colors rather than a tightly structured pop melody. Your playing is relaxed and confident pulling the listener into your world instead of going to theirs. The structure is freeform and it reminds me of the late, great Sandy Bull

YACHAY...

YACHAY is pronounced 'YAH chai,' and is derived from Quechua, the language of the Inkas.

YACHAY is a sonic two piece vehicle born from the love of the Mother Planet.... When Jeff and William met up in the jungles of Peru, they had given up playing music...at least, playing music with popular touring bands. Instead, they immersed themselves in shamanic experiences in the rain forest that ultimately would lead them right back to what they'd left behind. In short, they were bombarded on every sensory level with the vital importance that the vibratory rate of sound plays in the creation of reality...not simply in human terms...but for all life on Planet Earth. When they eventually returned to the United States, they decided to see what would happen if they applied their sonic-shamanic experiences to a musical vehicle...and YACHAY was born. What they quickly discovered as they started to play out was that people everywhere are still hungry for what's real..in their ears, in their hearts, in their lives.

LISA WALKER...

A number of albums put nature sounds and music together and they generally fit one of three categories. Either the nature sound is just spliced with the music for effect, the musician does a call and response kind of playback with birds and animals, or the musician composes, using the nature sounds as an integrated part of the music.
This later approach is what Lisa Walker does quite stunningly. Lisa recognizes the natural beauty of the whales' songs and they inspire her amazing original compositions using violin with specially built waterproof speakers so that her sound will resonate with the whales' natural landscape. Her effort is unique in that she has taken into consideration the seasonal variation of the songs, the sonic character of different underwater canyons and she uses loops and samples to modulate the sound and emphasize the musicality in more dramatic fashion. Lisa Walker shows a deep under-standing of her subject and a remarkable capacity for innovation. If you like deep space or ambient music, this one is definitely one you will want to hear. - New Age Voice January 2002

C3...

The Convergence Conspiracy Collective is an ensemble of musicians and artists formed near the end of 2002 with a desire to express a unified vision of radically transformed consciousness: a human race which "gets it", which has somehow miraculously grown up and come to its senses. Ridiculous, yes, we know. Such a thing could never happen, right? Impossible, and only fools would choose to believe in such a thing. Right. Well, happy fools are we.
