Foxing's fourth album, Draw Down the Moon, dropped a few months ago in early August.  The St. Louis-based band has been through a lot, from multiple guitarists to a brutal trailer/equipment theft (on tour; 2015) to the pandemic, but perseverance shines through in their music.  Conor Murphy & Eric Hudson have been friends since middle school and bandmates since high school, so maybe that glue is what keeps the evolving sound of Foxing so interesting.  Check out Go Down Together and note that they spent ~400 hours of graphic design and animation work to bring you this video, enjoy!

Grizfolk pieced together their self-titled, 3rd studio album throughout the pandemic.  With band members split between LA and Nashville, you would never know it because the music sounds so tight, but this is simply what so many musicians have been forced to do.  Check out the animated video for Now That I Know below and give the album a listen through!

John Mayer's Sob Rock is a comfortable escape from the tumultuous times that we are living in.  With an obvious homage to the 80's (check out the cover and marketing campaign), you'll also find a stellar cast of producers and musicians if you dig through the liner notes.  Whether you love Mayer's touring with Dead & Company, or hate his clashes with the media, his talent is certainly on another level.  Enjoy Wild Blue!

After dropping the single Weekend Run earlier this Summer, Unknown Mortal Orchestra has followed it up with another one entitled That Life.  The song, inspired by a painting with "a mixture of crazy stuff going on, representing heaven, earth, and hell", throws a lot of good, band and in between at you, but hey, that's life!  Hopefully, we are driving toward a new album from the New Zealand-based outfit as it has been a few years since their last full-length release.

We came across the rising indie artist Jelani Areyah via Sirius XMU Sessions.  That led us to his new and first full-length album I've Got Some Living To Do.  The SoCal native is definitely drawing his own line and when listening through the album, he's asking all of us to do the same.  Check out the sensual, soulful Marigold!

Announcing 1 of 2 female-led bands that will be playing our 13th Annual Coquina Jam - The Vaughns!  Check out their track, All Weekend from their 2021 release called, "rom-coms + take-out".  Interestingly enough, the lyrics were written on tour during 2020 to portray the feeling of needing some time at home to breathe, but were later adjusted with regard to no longer wanting to be stuck at home during quarantine.  Their wish has come true and on July 25th we're really looking forward to hearing The Vaughns live, outside and on the beach at our event (Noon - 1pm set)!
