The Adventures of Sam the Snake chronicles the recent months in 7-year-old Elliot’s life. His debut includes a tale of his mom recovering his stolen bicycle; a punky manifesto on snack eating; a folk rocker about a hand-destroying golf disc; and a manifesto for young two-wheeled crime fighters. It's decidedly not Raffi, or the Wiggles. But, then again, there's not much out there that compares.
Alternately defiant & loud and moody & introspective, the 6th GF23 release takes a vivid look at precarious life in 21st century America. Alternative-leaning guitar-based rock & roll dyed all pretty with harmonies and hooks, but with the roots showing.
Vivid, hook filled, post-literate exploration of a modern landscape cluttered with confidence men, hobgoblins, liars and thieves.
Third album by Portland, OR–based rockers offers sun-stroked auditory maelstroms and expansive blotter-pop Americana shaped by producer Scott McCaughey (Minus 5).
Melodic (with touches of classic metal) and potent (yet capable of emotional subtleties), Austin-based trio revels in the many flavors of modern guitar rock on their debut EP.
The husband-and-wife duo’s third collaboration mines a “Death Valley isolation chamber folk/pop sound” that is awash with darkness and light. While continuing along the Americana-cobbled roads they took on their first two albums, Olson and Ringvold explore lesser traveled musical territories on this release.
Eschewing his usual “play-everything-myself” approach, Global leader Rob Seidenberg enlists a full band to offer alternative-leaning rock & roll dyed all pretty with harmonies and hooks, but with the roots showing.
Six colorful tunes initially inspired (& fueled) by the craft cocktails (& their names) served at Vera, in Buffalo, NY, the beloved hometown of GF23's Rob Seidenberg.
New and creative interpretations of Nick Lowe tunes by a fresh crop of Americana artists, including Hayes Carll, Amanda Shires, Robert Ellis, Lori McKenna, Caitlin Rose, Ron Sexsmith and Chatham County Line.
Honest, relatable music about heartaches, tough breaks and city life with coed vocals and a wry sense of humor, It Can Always Get Worse straddles borders, nodding to some decidedly old-school influences while still living in a semi-modern, rock-influenced world.
Solo LP by former member of the Prime Numbers and Dreamland surveys pop/rock styles from the Brill Building to New Wave.
Second album by Rob Seidenberg’s solo project refers to and reflects on the early sounds that shaped his musical sensibility while relating the story of innocence be-daggered by harsh reality.
Debut LP by Austin-based outfit offers unpolished guitar rock with its Americana roots showing.
Double A-side single (red vinyl) by Austin-based Full Service serves up a double scoop of warm-weather wistful songs blending the bands electric and acoustic sounds.
