Mixing cowboy ballads, driving fiddle tunes, even a few lullabies and love songs, The Horsenecks (multi-instrumentalists Gabrielle Macrae and Barry Southern) take listeners on an old-time journey through the heart of American roots music. In The West launches June 27, 2025.
Eli West is no longer the brilliant young musician. With two solo CDs and another three with Cahalen Morrison behind him, with The Shape of a Sway he’s become the master folk troubadour he was destined to be, and we’re all the richer for it. The recording’s release: July 11, 2025.
Rakish
While Now, O Now, Rakish’s second CD, brims with Celtic inspiration, it’s a fully American album of confident yearning, with smart lyrics, winding melodies, taut rhythms, and assuring vocals..
Open The Door For Three
Open The Door For Three (Liz Knowles on fiddle and hardanger fiddle, Kieran O’Hare on uillean pipes, and Pat Broaders on bouzouki and vocals) their archeological practice of unearthing ancient tunes and reviving them for the 21st century, with dynamic rhythms, arrangements, harmonies, and the soulful magic of their musical community.
Robin Holcomb
Robin Holcomb astonished critics and crowds in the late 80s with her unique vision of what some later would call Americana (Holcomb might argue Stephen Foster deserves that credit). Today, she has ushered that vision into the 21st century with One Way or Another, Vols. 1 and 2. The first appeared in 2022, while the final installment launches May 31, 2024.

Paper Wings
Listen to the World Spin, the Nashville-based vocal/string duo’s third album, is a marvel of vintage modernity, bringing the claw-hammered earthiness of old-time music into the 21st century. As Paper Wings, Emily Mann and Wila Frank craft devastatingly beautiful songs of solitude, loneliness, loss, and redemptive love.
