Deciding where to spend your music budget can be overwhelming with so many quality albums reaching the masses in 2021, but whatever you do don’t toss aside Tossed, the sophomore effort from singer-songwriter Kaiti Jones. With tracks like “Weak Days” and “Gettin Around To It,” the record is like a new person you just met but feel an instant connection to, which is why we sat down with Jones for our latest seven question session.
Sometimes there are those things in life that you don’t realize you need until you have been formally introduced to them. The disco funk ensemble known as Barry Paquin Roberge (BPR) falls squarely into that category, and with their new album Exordium to Extasy getting its complete glam jam on via Costume Records, we couldn’t be more excited to sit down with member Etienne Barry to discuss the magic of their music for our latest seven question session.
With their new album Bloom now flowering for all to enjoy via Pure Noise Records, Carpool Tunnel is bringing their delicious stew of psychedelic surf rock and ‘70s-era sounds to a speaker near you. Their “Dreaming Still” music video is a nostalgic feast for the eyes and it is proof that this is a band that wants to have as much fun as they’re dishing out, which is why we were eager to sit down with lead singer/guitarist Ben Koppenjan for a seven question session.
It is still only March, but we are going out on a limb to say that Jackson Scribner’s self-titled debut will be sitting near the top our Best of 2021 list come the end of the year. Due March 26 on State Fair Records/We Know Better Records, the album is a stellar launching pad for the young singer-songwriter, which is apparent in his first batch of singles, including “Sixteen,” “Family Gatherings,” and the latest, “County Rd 497.” We recently sat down with the Texas-born melody maker for a new seven question session.
You don’t know Jack? Well, get to know him – Jack Keyes that is. The Kentucky-based folk artist recently released his single “Ferdinand” to the masses, and he’s sharing a live acoustic version of it exclusively with us. Come for the music, and then stay for our seven question session where we chat about his upcoming debut album, The Moon is Too High.
While the songwriting on Clint Roberts’ new album Rose Songs spans a large chunk of his creative life, the North Carolina native is very much living in the present. Offered a record contract at the start of the pandemic, he spent much of this long, strange year focused on delivering the best album possible, something he is now seeing come to fruition as Rose Songs is set to drop this Friday via Carry On Music. With his latest single “Nothing Left to Say” chewing up Spotify listens, we sat down with Roberts for a seven question session.
Like an inviting hug in a time when such embraces are scarce, Spencer Burton’s Coyote is the perfect audible antidote to both the cold of winter and the chill of isolation. Although it is the country-folk artist’s fifth studio album, the songwriter is all about living in the moment, which means he is less invested in his body of work than he is in his most recent endeavor. Released February 18 on Still Records, Coyote has already spawned a number of singles, including “Memories We Won’t Soon Forget,” “Hard Times” and “Nothing’s Changed.” We recently sat down with Burton for our latest seven question session.
Nope, you don’t have to wait to hear an exclusive live version of Lesser Animal’s song “Wait.” All you have to do is click the play button and enjoy the track, fresh off of the band’s latest album The Feeling Is Real. And, when you’re done with the music, stay for the conversation because we’re sitting down with frontman and songwriter James Sanderson for our latest seven question session.

While their last album Some People I Know helped us to weather the storm that was 2020, their latest, Calla Lily, offers new growth in what will hopefully be a period of germination for society. Although you will not be able to get your hands on the record until April 16, the first two singles, Sorrow and On the Road Again, are available now. We sat down with sibling songwriters Adam and David Moss to discuss their music for a seven question session.
Raine Hamilton’s latest work, Brave Land, is a concept album inspired by the mountainous landscape and how it speaks to our many human connections. This is a refreshing take, particularly in a year when isolation is the norm, which is why we sat down with the chamber-folk artist to discuss the concept behind the concept for a seven question session. Her new single “Believer” is due February 19.
