Single
Lisbon Lux Records
Concorde takes its name from the legendary Franco-British airplane from 1965, nicknamed the “beautiful white bird” for its sleek and modern design. In the album’s music, we find vintage influences recalling the faded charm of ‘70s erotica, warm tones rooted in psychedelia, and French chanson.

The Barrett Anderson Band
“Broken Down”
From the album HypnoBoogie
Whitaker Blues Records
HypnoBoogie, the new live album by The Barrett Anderson Band, is the kind of refreshingly vibrant, genre-crossing album that is a throwback to the days when rock ‘n’ roll acknowledged its roots in blues, but ventured wherever the spirit took it. It is innovative, fun, and full of grit, soul, and spirit.
Jeff Jacobs Band
“Drink Another Heartache”
From the album Out of The Keg
Edgewater Music Group
The Jeff Jacobs Band has teetered between many different genres—it’s hard to say where they actually fit in. They started their journey in late 2012 and have recorded three albums, had four charting singles, and are planning their first US tour in 2021.
South for Winter
“Twine”
From the album Luxumbra
Self-released
Nashville trio, South for Winter, dances deftly from bluesy murder ballads to airy acoustic duets; from traditional stomp and holler to smooth jazz; and everywhere in between. The trio’s debut album Luxumbra, recorded with GRAMMY-awarded producer Matt Leigh, was released October 2020.

Rebecca’s Song

Ranch hand, truck driver, and troubadour are three titles to describe and understand the singer-songwriter Branson Anderson. Among others: poet, itinerant, Scorpio. As a Utah based folk-rocker, label-makers ask him, “Are you a rocker or a folk singer?” To which Anderson replies: “What’s the difference?”

Self-released
A blended music project born out of The Little Apple, We Are the Guests made their way onto the stage in 2018 with the release of their first single, “House a Habit.” Following in the footsteps of Mumford and Sons, the group bends the genres of Folk-Americana and Pop, to create refreshingly redemptive music.
