Searows—aka Pacific Northwest singer-songwriter and guitarist Alec Duckart—is pleased to announce his new album Death in the Business of Whaling, set for release on Friday 23rd January 2026 via Last Recordings On Earth. Though Death in the Business of Whaling arrives as Searows’ second album, it’s the product of many firsts, including his first time recording outside the creative cocoon of his bedroom. His 2022 debut Guard Dog was written, recorded and self-produced in Duckart’s Portland home and independently released with little expectation as to how it would be received. The music soon found a passionate audience that were already sharing snippets of Duckart’s music via communities on TikTok and received co-signs from prominent artists such as Ethel Cain and Gracie Abrams, both of whom he went on to support on tour.

Next Act, the 15th studio album from Steep Canyon Rangers, is a vibrant return to the band's bluegrass foundation, infused with fresh energy and heartfelt storytelling. Founding Ranger Graham Sharp delivers some of his most compelling songwriting to date, crafting songs that are rich in tradition yet strikingly relevant. The recent addition of powerhouse vocalist Aaron Burdett brings a new emotional depth to the group's sound, his voice seamlessly blending with the band's signature harmonies. Featuring special guest appearances by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, Next Act is both a celebration of the band's roots and a bold step forward. With virtuosic musicianship, thoughtful lyrics, and a renewed creative spark, this album captures the essence of who the Rangers are: seasoned artists still pushing boundaries, still telling great stories. Over the course of their career, the three-time GRAMMY nominees have released 14 studio albums, three collaborative albums with actor and banjoist Steve Martin, performed on some of the world's most storied stages, and earned a reputation as standard-bearers for contemporary bluegrass and Americana.

According to Wikipedia, Steve Poltz (me) is "a Canadian-American singer-songwriter andguitarist. He is a founding member of the indie-rock band the Rugburns and collaborated onseveral songs with singer Jewel, including the 1996 single "You Were Meant for Me", whichreached number two in the US".JoyRide is my 14th solo album. I tour nonstop, so I usually have to be tricked into a studiounder the guise of "just one song." Capturing me on tape is like convincing a whirling dervishto stop spinning long enough to sign a bill into law. It's chaos, caffeine, and accidental poetry- art colliding with microphones and commerce in a glorious mess. That's how JoyRidehappened. No seatbelts, no helmets. Just unsaturated, unadulterated art. Real humansmaking real noise in real time.The record opens with "If It Bleeds It Leads" - my kinda classic mischief. Then comes"Petrichor," inspired by the beautiful smell after it rains. (I later discovered Phish has onetoo, but mine's the barefoot cousin at brunch.) "At It Again" follows, a cosmic co-writewith my brother-from-another-meerkat Jim Lauderdale, featuring Bryan Owings and ChrisDonohue (Emmylou Harris's rhythm section). The title track "JoyRide" feels like a warm hugafter a long road trip: "Free hugs, no shrugs, wrong drugs, bedbugs. Smiles, laughter, forhere ever after." Side one ends with "The Son Of God." I will probably get crucified for thissong, but hopefully it will be an AI video made by an angry man living in his mom's basement.Side two kicks off with "Love a Little Bigger," a rowdy co-write with Vince Herman of LeftoverSalmon. "Fixin' Up" (track seven) is my secret favorite - like a quarter from the Tooth Fairyyou gotta dig around for. "New Tattoo" follows about a dude who got his lover's face inkedon his own face. (Bad plan, good song.) "Brand New Liver" imagines swapping out your oldone like a water pump instead of quitting drinking. And then comes the closer "Hairlift." Thatone has my favorite line I've ever written: "I used to play ping pong with my old friend MaoZedong. I thought he told me I was well hung, but he was speaking in the mother tongue."That's JoyRide. Ten songs, no filter, no seatbelt, no map. Big thanks to Dex Green for beingthe musical trickster who lured me into the studio. Party on, weirdos.-Steve Poltz, Nashville

On their seventh studio album, Lost Cause Lover Fool (due April 24th on Far Cry/Thirty Tigers), The Milk Carton Kids deliver 9 songs that, more than ever, invite listeners to lean in close and hover in the small moments the album magnifies.Much has changed since The Milk Carton Kids — Los Angeles-based singer-songwriters Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan — burst on the Folk scene in 2011. And The Milk Carton Kids have changed too. But at least one constant remains. Pattengale and Ryan continue to make music that entices us to turn down the volume on a chaotic world and dwell as long as possible on what matters most.With rootsy arrangements, Lost Cause Lover Fool expands on the duo’s signature minimalist sound their fans love while also, somehow, making it even smaller. Lost Cause Lover Fool begins with the lonesome pluck and strum of the banjo on “Blue Water.†Often employed either for lightning-speed or rhythm, here the banjo is handled carefully, with reticence, so that it feels more like light cast across a stretch of grass than a whole bluegrass instrument. Lyrically, this album-opener zooms in on a snapshot of a man walking along a riverside, remembering the child that used to lay on his chest who has now grown to share his worried mind. It’s a moment so small it might easily have been dismissed, except that it holds an emotion as universal as it is fleeting.Lost Cause Lover Fool magnifies many such small moments, turns them into mesmerizing worlds, and reminds us — pleads with us — to pay attention to them as they go by.

The realest-deal storyteller in indie-rock today is the Tampa-born, New Orleans-based singer/songwriter Thomas Dollbaum, and Birds of Paradise is his most powerful and dynamic work yet. Following up his critically acclaimed Wellswood (Big Legal Mess, 2022) and Drive All Night EP (Dear Life Records, 2025), Birds of Paradise is a goodbye letter to lost loved ones and former selves. These songs find Dollbaum searching for acceptance in the transient in-between places: Florida's pine flatwoods, backroads leading to 1-95, where birds fly across the water. And even though the ghosts of his alt-county predecessors Townes and Molina are definitely present, on Birds of Paradise, Dollbaum emerges from their shadows-waving to the past, sounding all the more like himself.This moment-this album-is long overdue. Both of Dollbaum's previous releases had taken way too long to record, due to circumstances out of his control, leaving him frustrated. And after having been away from his home for eight years, the place he had left was no longer the place he remembered, and the unchanging of the natural world felt like a constant he wanted to write about. With a sense of immediacy, he wrote Birds of Paradise in three months. Called up the musicians he trusted and admired the most-Nick Corson, Josh Halper, and Jake Lenderman- and asked them to meet him at Dial Back Sound in Water Valley, Mississippi with producer/engineer Clay Jones. They learned and tracked the album in four days, capturing lightning in a bottle, a sonic revelation Dollbaum's writing has always been waiting for.With the help of Lenderman, Halper, Corson, and Jones, Birds of Paradise is Dollbaum's hard-won breakthrough. Alive and echoing like the poems and short stories you can't shake: coyotes howl, birds fly south, kids chase rabbits through the sugar cane, and cigarettes are four dollars a pack. Birds of Paradise reminds us where we come from-the things inside ourselves we've forgotten-we just needed Dollbaum to show us. Here's how to look back without fear or shame. Here's authenticity.

Having been friends and occasional touring partners for well over a decade, Asheville, NC-based singer-songwriter-guitarist Tyler Ramsey and My Morning Jacket guitarist Carl Broemel have at long last made their full-length recorded debut with Celestun (out January 15, 2026). A marvel of interwoven musicianship and testament to the duo's singular camaraderie, the album encapsulates the two veteran guitarist-songwriters' mutual admiration and effortless compatibility as they swap and share nine new songs of dazzling dexterity and grace recorded almost entirely on acoustic guitars. Though their initial objective had been all instrumental, the natural flow of the sessions led the duo to begin incorporating vocal tracks. Stark yet intricately arranged songs such as the cinematic tracks "Nevermind" and "Flying Things" (featuring additional vocals from GRAMMYr Award-nominated singing siblings The Secret Sisters), and an incandescent version of Neil Young's "Sail Away" are rich with dazzling dexterity and grace, Ramsey's nimble fingerstyle picking and Broemel's classically trained virtuosity aligning to create a predominantly instrumental song cycle of rustic beauty and atmospheric power. Music at it's most elemental, Celestun sees Carl Broemel and Tyler Ramsey stripping away artifice to unlock and explore deeply personal themes of wanderlust and familial love, of fellowship and communal adventure.Previously, Louisville, KY's Carl Broemel released a series of solo recordings over the past two decades, including 2019's Brokenhearted Jubilee EP in collaboration with drummer Eric Hopper, and recent collaborations with The Futurebirds. Meanwhile, Tyler Ramsey, has earned praise for his former role as songwriter and lead guitarist in Band of Horses as well as an evolving solo body of work that includes 2024's acclaimed New Lost Ages, hailed by Americana UK as "a gentle indie-folk gem."

Having first met while performing on the street in New Orleans, LA, Vaiano's Paisanos sports a repertoire of music first recorded by New York's immigrant string bands in the 1920s and '30s whose origins span the American, African, and European continents. Vaiano's Paisanos was started by Rachel Meirs (violin, mandolin), Maxwell Poulos (mandolin, tenor banjo, tenor guitar) and Van Burchfield (guitar). This album represents three virtuoso musicians, performing a unique mix of rare international and American musical traditions from rare 78s. Meirs has played with Sierra Ferrell, Chris Acker, Riley Downing, Vaden Landers, and the late Luke Bell. They have performed at the Brooklyn Folk Fest and the Subdued Stringband Jamboree

One of the hardest working singer-songwriters in the game is named Katie Crutchfield. She was born in Alabama, grew up near Waxahatchee Creek. Skipped town and struck out on her own as Waxahatchee. That was over a decade ago. Crutchfield says she never knew the road would lead her here, but after six critically acclaimed albums, she's never felt more confident in herself as an artist. While her sound has evolved from lo-fi folk to lush alt-tinged country, her voice has always remained the same. Honest and close, poetic with Southern lilting. Much like Carson McCullers's Mick Kelly, determined in her desires and convictions, ready to tell whoever will listen. And after years of being sober and stable in Kansas City - after years of sacrificing herself to her work and the road - Crutchfield has arrived at her most potent songwriting yet. On her new album, Tigers Blood, Crutchfield emerges as a powerhouse - an ethnologist of the self - forever dedicated to revisiting her wins and losses. But now she's arriving at revelations and she ain't holding them back. Produced by Brad Cook, the album features MJ Lenderman, Phil Cook, and Spencer Tweedy.

On their powerful, cinematic new album, All Tied Together, the multi-award-winning Irish band Ye Vagabonds deliver deeply evocative original songs infused with memory, tribute, and gratitude. Throughout, a strong sense of home prevails, both their own hard-won digs, past and present, and an inner refuge for anyone longing for connection beyond time and geography.Rising from the ashes of the 2008 economic collapse, the Mac Gloinn brothers - Brian and Diarmuid - first performed in the streets together as buskers. They took on the moniker Ye Vagabonds while creating now-legendary music nights and community-building events in their native Carlow, and later in Dublin. While initially achieving renown as purveyors of traditional music mixed with folk-based originals, the Mac Gloinns have increasingly focused on honing their own material.Ye Vagabonds have since evolved into a robust collective - a sonically unique ensemble featuring layered acoustic and electric guitars, trumpet, upright bass, Moog synthesizer, harmonium, bouzouki, fiddle, and the blood harmony of the siblings' distinctive, multi-hued voices. All Tied Together was recorded almost entirely live in an old Galway house, with acclaimed producer Philip Weinrobe (Big Thief, Adrienne Lenker) at the helm. The dynamic arrangements are credited to a group of (up to ten) musicians. No one wore headphones. The brothers also cite fiction writers George Saunders and Claire Keegan as particular inspirations.In All Tied Together, Ye Vagabonds render the unavoidable things in life as a cause for singing. That singing is best done together in a room, where the magic of a well-wrought song defies loss and shadow, and people, places, and dreams live in the light again.
