Austin singer-songwriter Megan Lacy arrives with her debut album “That Feelin’”, a 12-track collection that feels both deeply personal and musically expansive. Rooted in alt-country but stretching comfortably into cosmic Americana and atmospheric folk, the record has a lived-in quality that comes from years of honing her craft in Austin’s songwriter circles, honky tonks, and intimate live rooms. What stands out straight away is how natural everything feels. Recorded live at K

Charlie and the Moonshine make a really strong first impression with "The Evil Mary", a debut single that feels warm, loose, and full of personality. It sits somewhere between Americana, country, and Southern rock, but never feels boxed in by any of those labels. Instead, it just feels like a band playing together in a room and enjoying the process, which gives the whole thing a really natural, lived-in feel. What’s great about the track is how it builds. It starts off with t

There’s something refreshing about a band that doesn’t seem particularly interested in fitting neatly into a box, and that’s exactly what makes Heavy Set Woman such an intriguing listen. The project, led by longtime collaborators William Serralles and Gumpi Falcon, has always followed its own creative instincts, and their latest single, ‘Highway One’, feels like another confident step down a road they’re happily paving for themselves. From the outset, ‘Highway One’ has the en

There’s something quietly powerful about the return of The Monotrol Kid, and their new single ‘40 Years’ really leans into that understated emotional pull. It’s the kind of track that doesn’t shout for your attention, but once it’s got you, it lingers. If you’ve followed the band’s journey, from a solo project built on little more than a guitar and some deeply personal songwriting into the full-bodied outfit they are now, you’ll recognise that same storytelling core running r

Luc Letourneau’s debut album, Next Life / One More Day Like This , arrives like a half-remembered dream pressed into vinyl, a 10-track meditation on the quiet dread and messy beauty of the “autopilot” life. Recorded in the foothills of Boulder, Colorado, the record flits between Americana hymns and indie-rock manifestos, all underpinned by Letourneau’s self-styled “premature spark”—a philosophy that favors imperfection, urgency, and the raw pulse of a song over polished produ

Virginia-born rising Americana artist Iyla Elise continues to carve out a space for herself with “Ain’t Linear” , her tenth single that blends storytelling, soul, and blues into a quietly powerful statement. Drawing inspiration from the likes of John Denver and Norah Jones, Elise’s music balances vulnerability with confidence, turning personal experience into universal resonance without ever feeling performative. The track itself is anchored by a warm, bluesy groove, lifted b

Rocky Michaels unveils the official music video for ‘Going Going Gone’, the uplifting new single from the California-based Americana songwriter, out now. Serving as the final single from his forthcoming fourth album Heroes, the video brings the song’s themes of release, movement and emotional clarity into sharp visual focus. Mirroring the track’s reflective but liberating tone, the video leans into Americana’s most enduring imagery — open roads, passing light, quiet moments o
