SUMMARY:James McMurtry "... the truest\, fiercest songwriter of his generation”
DESCRIPTION:Known for his powerhouse performances\, McMurtry tours year-round. His initial tour dates in support of the new album feature stops at the legendary Troubadour in Los Angeles\, Tractor Tavern in Seattle\, The Bluebird Theater in Denver\, Roy’s Hall in Blairstown\, NJ and more. Please see tour dates\, with more to be added\, below. \n“You follow the words where they lead. If you can get a character\, maybe you can get a story. If you can set it to a verse-chorus structure\, maybe you can get a song. A song can come from anywhere\, but the main inspiration is fear. Specifically fear of irrelevance. If you don’t have songs\, you don’t have a record. If you don’t have a record\, you don’t have a tour. You gotta keep putting out work.” \n \nJames McMurtry’s The Black Dog & The Wandering Boy will be available across digital platforms\, compact disc\, and standard black vinyl. A limited khaki color vinyl edition\, as well as a limited compact disc edition\, both signed by McMurtry will be available via Independent Retailers. A limited blue color vinyl edition\, as well as a limited compact disc edition\, both signed by McMurtry are available for pre-order NOW via NEW WEST RECORDS. \n \n“One of America’s greatest living songwriters” – Rolling Stone\n“New James McMurtry is absolute  [🔥] ” – Aaron Lee Tasjan \n“James McMurtry returns with masterful storytelling & truth laying on The Black Dog and the Wandering Boy.” – Glide Magazine \n“…there is so much to digest in the music of James McMurtry and this new album is filled with ample proof of his many gifts and talent.” – Lonesome Highway \n“…solidifying McMurtry as one of this generation’s most unflinchingly potent and powerfully erudite recording artists.” – American Songwriter \n“This is a career-best collection of dense\, fascinating narratives.” – Country Universe \n” A supremely insightful and inventive storyteller\, McMurtry teases vivid worlds out of small details\, setting them to arrangements that have the elements of Americana but sound too sly and smart for such a general category… this is roots rock at its most cathartic.” – Americana UK

They have released six increasingly acclaimed albums\, while fuelling their creative appetites in collaborations with indigenous Australasian artists\, Quebec’s Le Vent du Nord\, and most recently as artists-in-residence at 2019’s Celtic Colours festival with Cape Bretoners\, Beolach. \n \n​Their 15 year adventure has included live performances from Sydney Opera House to Central Park NY. They have racked up an impressive array of accolades including five Scots Trad Music Awards\, nominations as ‘Best Group’ in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and  ‘European Album of the Year’ in The Songlines Music Awards. \n \n​An exciting new chapter begins in 2020 with the introduction of the supremely talented\, multi instrumentalist Conal McDonagh to the band and work beginning on ‘Dùsgadh’ a newly commissioned film with original score in collaboration with animator Cat Bruce. \n \nBreabach are; Megan Henderson (Fiddle\, Vocals\, Step Dance)\, James Lindsay (Double Bass\, Vocals)\, Calum MacCrimmon (Bagpipes\, Whistle\, Bouzouki\, Vocals)\, Conal McDonagh (Bagpipes\, Whistle\, Vocals) and Ewan Robertson (Guitar\, Vocals\, Cajon).

SUMMARY:The Alison Brown Quintet… pushing the boundaries of folk and bluegrass
DESCRIPTION:Alison Brown doesn’t play the banjo… Alison Brown plays music on the banjo. \nAcoustic instrumental music has never been so beautifully represented as by Alison Brown.  As one of the most multi-faceted minds on today’s roots music scene\, every one of Alison’s endeavors is marked by innovation\, intelligence\, and grace. As a banjo player\, she throws out the textbook when it comes playing the banjo and the result is a sound that blends the rugged drive of bluegrass with the harmonic sensibilities of jazz\, earning vast acclaim and a GRAMMY award in the process. \n \nAlison took an unusual path to becoming an internationally recognized banjoist.  After completing her undergraduate studies at Harvard University and receiving an MBA from UCLA\, she pursued a career in investment banking. But she missed the bluegrass music she’d grown up playing in Southern California so much that when Alison Krauss called looking for a banjo player\, she made the decision to give up her Wall Street career to pursue music.  She toured with Alison Krauss and Union Station\, and Michelle Shocked before forming her own group\, The Alison Brown Quartet\, in 1993. \nSince that time\, Alison and her band have been winning over traditionalists and mainstream music fans alike with her unique style.  They have toured extensively throughout the US and abroad with stops at some of music’s most prestigious venues including The Kennedy Center\, Newport Folk Festival\, Telluride Bluegrass Festival\, MerleFest\, New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival\, Philadelphia Folk Festival\, FreshGrass\, The Cambridge Folk Festival (England)\, Celtic Connections (Scotland)\, Dublin National Concert Hall (Ireland)\, Galway Arts Festival (Ireland) and Verbier Music Festival (Switzerland).  The band has also traveled to Central and South America at the invitation of the US Information Agency and to Japan as Friendship Ambassadors on behalf of the Nashville Mayor’s office to celebrate a new sister city relationship between Kamakura\, Japan and Music City. \n  \n \nAlison has recorded 12 critically-acclaimed solo albums\, received a GRAMMY and multiple GRAMMY- nominations. She has also received the USA Artists Fellowship in Music and a Distinguished Achievement Award from the International Bluegrass Music Association. Alison has been featured on CBS Sunday Morning\, NPR’s All Things Considered and in the pages of the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times among many other publications. \n  \nAlison is also the co-founder of the internationally recognized roots music label Compass Records Group which Billboard Magazine has called “one of the greatest independent labels of the last decade.” Compass Records Group oversees a catalog of nearly 1\,000 releases across multiple label imprints\, including Red House Records\, Green Linnet and Mulligan Records. Alison currently serves on the Board of the Nashville Chapter of the Recording Academy\, on the adjunct faculty of Vanderbilt’s Blair School of Music and as co-chair of the Steve Martin Banjo Prize.
