Let’s cut the ribbon on the holiday cheer and rip open the wrapping paper. Because Katie Curley is here to remind us that Christmas isn't all mistletoe and sleigh bells. In a city where the idea of country feels about as foreign as snow in July, Curley’s holiday EP Big Colored Lights (dropping November 15, 2024) peels back the tinsel to reveal something raw, real, and unapologetically introspective. It’s Christmas, but not like you’ve heard it before. In Brooklyn’s Cowboy […]

Quincy Jones, Forever a Great Legend in a World Too Small

If The Gods Of Music Have Any Sense, They’ll Be Playing Thriller On A Loop November 3, 2024. The world goes a little quieter, a little emptier, and if you’re paying close enough attention, a lot less soulful. Quincy Jones - yes, that Quincy Jones, the father of modern music - is no longer with us. Ninety-one years of filling every corner of life with rhythm, and yesterday, he bowed out on his own terms at his California home. Cause […]

Nick Gusman & The Coyotes Release “Tokyo Hotel”

Again, St. Louis is giving us something more than just Blues hockey and toasted ravioli this season. And I am talking about Nick Gusman and The Coyotes. An Americana outfit that's coming at you with Tokyo Hotel, the first single off their forthcoming album Lifting Heavy Things. This song it's a dive into a well-worn musical past. A visceral time capsule, capturing the dusty roots of Americana while somehow sneaking in the fervour of ‘90s alt-country. Forget sanitized folk-pop. Tokyo […]
