Alright, folks! We’ve got an action-packed playlist for you. comin’ in hot in the final days of May..err…maybe the first day of June? Anyway, we’re still calling this MAY’s playlist.
This playlist is ALL new music from the last couple of months. It starts off with a big set of twangy, high lonesome tunes (including one song that we cannot stop listening to on repeat–I’ll let you guess which track has blown our minds), before evolving into some funky instrumentals, and ending with a nod to 80s electronica.
Many of these musicians are on tour right now. We don’t want to “should” you, but you should DEFINITELY support these artists by catching some shows and buying some merch.
- MJ Lenderman is touring a ton over the next few months (domestically and internationally) and, boy, would Hank and I love to see one of these shows, many of which are already sold out.
- Drayton Farley is kicking off a big run of shows in the US
- Patton Magee has a show comin’ up in Brooklyn, but it looks like that’s the only one on the books so far
- New Orleans’ Max Bien Kahn has a West Coast run goin’ on now
- We are longtime fans of drummer Makaya McCraven, who has a ton of shows lined up in Canada, Europe, and the US
- True Loves have some pacific northwest shows before heading across the pond for a euro tour
- Keri is a longtime fan of the Budo’s Band and, luckily for her, they have a lot of shows coming up in support of their new album
- Surprise Chef is tourin’ all over the world! Catch him on tour
- Morgan Nagler, of Breeders fame, has a short run of shows that she’s wrapping up, but there are some California dates left
- Sylvan Esso has some pacific northwest shows comin’ up
And, that’s a wrap!
