Opening at TAI Modern this month is NAKATOMI HAJIME, the artist's first solo exhibition in the US.

The exhibition brings together work from five series developed over more than two decades — Prism, Musubi, Auspicious 8, Frill, and FLY — work defined by a single animating question: what does it mean for something not to look like bamboo?

Rather than emphasizing material qualities or classical techniques and forms, Nakatomi embraces this paradoxical inquiry. His aim is to express the beauty of bamboo through colors, shapes, sizes, and materials not typically found in bamboo art. The most recent works in the exhibition combine bamboo with other materials, such as gold.

June 26 – July 25, 2026

Catch the next wave of Ascension Marconics

Initiate Teacher Lucy Barna guides you through ‘The State of the Universe’ and the ongoing Planetary SHIFT as you learn how to access and assimilate recently anchored SOPHIANIC frequencies of the Mother Arc/Aqua Ray Magnetics necessary for higher ascension.

The healing modalities Lightworkers have come to rely on for the 3D lightbody templates and the 7 chakra system have become outmoded. An upgrade is required! To achieve ascension beyond this matrix and onto the most benevolent Earth timelines, you must assimilate intensifying frequencies and expand into higher levels of lightbody.

Following six previous failed ascension cycles, it is essential for the success of this last cycle, to forge, and maintain a telepathic connection with our future ascended state, to prevent us from wandering off the path, and repeating our karmic mistakes.But what if you could achieve ascension out of this fallen matrix — in this lifetime — and be re-inserted into the Ascension Earth ‘time matrix’, to cycle back around and ‘redeem’ not only yourself, but also those Lightworkers and volunteers coming up behind you – those who will answer the Call and make their way to the rallying point to exit the fallen phantom matrix and achieve organic ascension into the Living Light Matrix?

This is what we are achieving through Marconics! RECALIBRATE and thrive in the Avatar Consciousness Matrix
RECLAIM YOUR WINGS — through Hiero-gamic Union of Christos/Sophia frequencies
EMBODY SOVEREIGNTY — as Masters of Co-creation & Manifestation.

Full-spectrum Marconics Ascension Energy works in the ascending 5D body template, where older 3D healing modalities are no longer effective.

It facilitates rapid shedding of karmic debris and new DNA activations, allowing you to raise your vibration and reach a new level of connection to Source/Spirit.

Enjoy a FREE Sample of Marconics Ascension Energy, and feel it for yourself! If you are ready to expand your consciousness to the edges of the universe and beyond, and stand in the Power of who you came here to BE, please join us!

Lecture at: YogaShift, 933 Baca St, Santa Fe, NM
Please park in the lot between the building and the gas station, or in lot for Counter Culture Cafe across Baca St. For more info: Lucy@marconics.com // 828-246-5899// MARCONICS.com//

The songs of Glorieta Pines are inspired by the happenings of the world as seen through the lens of the American Southwest.
​
The trio, comprised of Brian Nelson (guitars), Lindsay Taylor (mandolin, fiddle) and Karina Wilson (fiddle), combines insightful songwriting and textured arrangements with tight vocal harmonies to achieve their unique blend of acoustic music.

Hailing from the Northern New Mexican towns of Glorieta and Santa Fe, each of the three members of Glorieta Pines has been making music with a variety of artists and bands for years. The Glorieta Pines project originated in 2020 as a duo between spouses Lindsay Taylor and Brian Nelson, with early performances including official virtual concerts for both the Brighton Fringe and Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2021.

The addition of Karina Wilson on fiddle in June of 2022 saw the polished arrangements and vocal harmonies of the duo format expand, with extended instrumental sections and deeper sonic textures, carrying Glorieta Pines’ original songs to new heights.

Across his career, Brett Dennen has established himself as the kind of singer-songwriter who finds inspiration by digging into the nooks and crannies of the human condition—exploring pain, joy, sadness, and all points in between.

If It Takes Forever (Mick Music), the California native’s eighth solo album and first full-length since 2021’s See the World, is no exception. The warm, immersive collection boasts deeply felt sentiments, underpinned by rich acoustic guitars and Dennen’s earnest vocals, in the vein of dusky Americana (“Golden State of Mind”), harmonica-driven blues (the Tom Petty-esque “Careful What You Wish For”), rootsy indie (“Don’t Go Talking”), and meditative folk-rock (highlight “Time To Wake Up”).

If It Takes Forever emerged out of a tough 2023 for Dennen, as he was dealing with the death of his dad. “He was such a strong figure in my life that I depended on so much as both a dad and a best friend,” he said. “And I knew immediately in order for me to deal with his death, the best thing I could do was to make an album about it.”

Understandably, Dennen took his time coming up with song ideas for If It Takes Forever, and spent the bulk of a year simply thinking about “what kind of album I was going to make and what kinds of songs were going to be on the album,” he says. “I jotted down ideas on paper, made little voice memos with ideas of songs, melodies and choruses, or sometimes even just talked into a voice recorder.”

With these ideas as a foundation, Dennen was well-prepared by the time he hunkered down in late 2023 to formalize his rough ideas into songs. “Making them a reality all happened very fast,” he says. “These songs were in my head and came out when I had the guitar in my hand. I would record one, put it away and then come back a few days or a few weeks later and listen to it: ‘Okay, I think that's done. That's good enough. Move on, move on, move on.’”

Dennen naturally wrote some songs directly about his dad. But he also wanted If It Takes Forever to tackle his new reality going forward. “It was evaluating life—like, what did this person mean to me?” he says. “What did they inspire in me? What do I think life is about now? Who's the person I really want to be?” But he also found himself turning to broader philosophical questions. “I was also thinking about the state of life: What is life? What does it mean? What's it all about?”

This lent itself to lyrics full of vibrant imagery with multiple layers of meaning. Among his favorite songs is the gentle, folksy “In the Garden,” which was indirectly inspired by his parents and the impressive vegetable garden they tended. “I don't necessarily think it's a song about my dad—or a song about him speaking to my mom, per se—but I think it's a song about love and putting your intention into something,” Dennen explains. “Metaphorically, it’s about taking care of something and creating something beautiful, but it’s also a literal place for beautiful things to grow, and a calm place to find solace in.”

Another favorite is “Wood Canoe,” a narrative-driven story of humble man who has a knack for building a canoe out of wood, with lyrics speaking to the idea of metaphorically taking somebody away to a better place, he explains. “It feels like a Cat Stevens song and has a little bit of Latin rhythm to it.” Dennen also loves “Another Day in Babylon” because of its rumbling groove—and the fact it’s very literal, as he based the lyrics on things that happened in his own life.

The easygoing opening track, “Chipping Away,” meanwhile, touches on resilience and the importance of persevering even when things might not be falling into place the way you’d like. “There's so many things I want to do and so many things I haven't done—and I'm the one holding myself back from doing those things,” he explains. “But that's just life, I guess—and here's an opportunity to celebrate that.”

Dennen recorded If It Takes Forever quickly, “in a whirlwind five days” in Los Angeles with the musicians in his live band and another long-time collaborator serving as producer, Jon Solo. This full-band configuration gave the album a distinct feeling of immediacy but also lends itself to depth-filled arrangements. Organ courses through the standout “Dharma Baby” while plaintive piano adds sharp melancholy to the meditative “Star Surfer.”“We haven't recorded an album together before now,” he notes. “But it was easy to trust everyone and get excited about what we were creating together. We felt like a team; I've never had that feeling before. That’s why I think it was easy to get so much done in a short amount of time.”

In general, Dennen prefers recording live with a band anyway. But the bond he had formed with his bandmates across years of traveling around together on the road made the If It Takes Forever experience especially seamless—namely because everyone contributed parts and ideas in the studio during the process. “I was really impressed with everybody's ability to help me get to a place where I was feeling good about the direction it was going,’ he says. “It wasn't me or the producer saying, ‘I want you to do this. I was hoping you would do this.’ It wasn't like ‘This is Brett’s album’—it was like, let's just make this music the best that the four of us can make it.”

Since debuting in 2004 with a self-titled album, Dennen has amassed a loyal fanbase thanks to a steady touring schedule, including alongside artists like John Mayer, Jason Mraz and G Love and Special Sauce, as well as multiple song placements in the TV show Parenthood. Another tune, "Comeback Kid (That's My Dog)," became the theme song for the TV adaptation About A Boy. Along the way, Dennen has also had multiple top 10 hits on the AAA radio charts, with the keening title track of See the World, an encouraging song about growing up and forging your own path in life, landing at No. 4 in 2021.

With If It Takes Forever, Dennen plans to hit the road once again, but he possesses additional perspective on—and gratitude for—the solace provided by art and music. “To really boil it down, this is life,” he says. “Life is full of things that get complicated and make you busy, and are really hard to deal with. But if you write songs about it, and put it into art, then it makes it a lot more relevant and meaningful and worthy of celebration.”

Every artist has to discover their voice. Gia Margaret didn’t find herself until she lost hers. With a vocal injury that kept her from singing for years, she developed other musical languages, mastering the grammar of an intricate, homey form of ambient music pioneered by Ernest Hood and perfected by The Books. Now, her physical voice healed and her artistic voice honed, she comes full circle with Singing, her first vocal album since 2018’s There’s Always Glimmer. Led by soft piano lines that fall like breath on glass, the music on Singing evidences the same jeweler’s sensitivity to detail that she developed in her silence.

“There was a time when I really didn’t know if I would sing again. So once I healed, there was a lot of internal pressure to come back strong,” Margaret says. “I didn’t know who I was anymore. So it felt like beginning again, and reconnecting with these very old, old parts of myself.” This feeling of intermixed alienation and rediscovery is palpable across the album. In opener “Everyone Around Me Dancing,” she watches a party from the wings, aware of how her body keeps her from communal joy while also providing new modes of self-knowledge. Shut out from the scene, she is “closer to the ground, the planet.” In “Alive Inside,” she’s so far away from the source that she’s praying to whoever might hear (“a god, a friend that’s gone, a spirit”). As her voice rises, it seems to be trapped in a web of distortion; it’s as if in her pursuit, she’s pushing at the very boundaries of what can be said.

The process of making Singing was one of learning how to trust each of those feelings. The album was partially recorded in London with Frou Frou’s Guy Sigsworth, who helped Margaret unify the spree of ideas she had for “Good Friend,” an album highlight that includes Gregorian chant by ILĀ and turntable scratches, among many other things. David Bazan and Amy Millan also make appearances, as do Kurt Vile and Sean Carey, while Margaret’s longtime collaborator Doug Saltzman plays on and co-produces much of the record. Deb Talan, previously of The Weepies, lends her voice, piano, and guitar to the album's closing—and definitive—statement, "E-Motion."

Gia Margaret is always singing. Every note of this album sings a warm requiem to her past selves; every layer sings her future self into being. Across the album, she applies the lessons of speechlessness—the quasirational ways we communicate without communicating, the way formless sound can cut to the heart of things like a scalpel—to her own artistic voice.

Wavves recently made a long-awaited return with their first new music since 2021, the launch of their cannabis brand Wavvy Supply Co., and a Los Angeles wildfire benefit show at Zebulon.

The band followed that momentum with the release of their new album Spun, marking the start of a new chapter for Nathan Williams and longtime bandmates Stephen Pope, Ross Traver, and Alex Gates.

Now Wavves are expanding the Spun era with a deluxe edition of the album featuring two B-sides and the Live Wavvy Sessions—five songs recorded live in the studio capturing the band’s raw, unfiltered energy.

The sessions include performances of “King of the Beach,” “Nine Is God,” “Green Eyes,” “Goner,” and “So Long,” bridging fan-favorite classics with songs from Spun.

The album’s single “Goner,” produced by Travis Barker, arrived alongside a Brandon Dermer-directed music video filmed during the band’s Zebulon charity show. Dermer previously directed Wavves’ 2013 video for “That’s On Me” and has worked with artists including Blink-182. Speaking about how the track came together, Williams says:
“I had this song I had been sitting on, always revisited it and tried to record it a bunch of times but it was never just right. Eventually it was giving me PTSD. I was talking to Travis about doing some songs together and when I opened up the vault to him, this one jumped out so we laid it down and finally we got it right.”

Like Nathan Williams’ earliest music, Spun first took shape in a small shed behind his parents’ house known as the Hideaway—the same space where he recorded some of his earliest material. Since the beginning, Williams has been known for writing songs that push back against the world while still evoking pathos, sympathy, and the uneasy realization that sometimes we’re our own worst enemies—and that can be okay.

Over a decade earlier, Williams released King of the Beach, the album that delivered on the promise of his first two homespun records, Wavves and Wavvves. It catapulted the band to worldwide acclaim as one of indie rock’s most exciting new acts. In the years that followed, Wavves entered the major-label system with Warner Records, releasing Afraid of Heights and V, before eventually stepping away in search of greater creative freedom.

In 2017, Williams self-released You’re Welcome on his own label, Ghost Ramp, before returning to Fat Possum for 2021’s Hideaway. Wavves have since returned to Ghost Ramp for the release of Spun and its newly released deluxe edition.

With Spun and its deluxe edition, Wavves reaffirm their place as one of the most enduring bands to emerge from the late-2000s indie rock explosion. Known for their raucous live shows and sun-bleached punk songs, the band continues to evolve while staying true to the spirit that made them cult heroes in the first place.

Dylan LeBlanc

July 15, 2026 • 7:30 pm

DOORS 6:30pm • 21+ without parent or guardian

DYLAN LEBLANC
Dylan LeBlanc is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who often finds himself flirting with the edge — or “dancing on a razor,” as he calls it — as it is all he has ever known. A verdict vagabond since he was a little boy tossed between Texas, Louisiana and Alabama, LeBlanc thrives on the precipice, never staying in one place for too long. It is that nomadic spirit that drew him not only to a life as a touring musician, but also to the beast that titles his newest record: ‘Coyote.’

LeBlanc says he has always related to the insatiable, scavenging nature of the wily coyote. Much like the animal, LeBlanc is a wanderer who knows when to trust his instincts, musically and otherwise. It is a spiritual kinship that runs deep, but he credits one particularly hair-raising face-to-face instance with solidifying his bond with the animal.

LeBlanc was in Austin, Texas, climbing the face of a 100-foot cliff, gambling with Mother Nature’s good graces as he pulled himself up by tree branches. Once he reached the top, all that laid ahead of him was a lush treeline. There was a breath of stillness, then the sound of a thunderous rustling that drew closer and closer to him. In a blink, LeBlanc watched as a frenzied raccoon came speeding out of the treeline, trailed by an animal that stopped and stared at him with striking intensity: a coyote.

“We’re looking at each other dead in the eyes…and I’m saying — out loud — ‘If it’s you or me, I am going to kick you off the side of this cliff. I’m not going down.’ It was intense, this human-animal moment,” LeBlanc recalls. “I’ve never forgotten that… he was just trying to survive and so was I.”

‘Coyote’ is LeBlanc’s first self-produced release, boasting a cherry-picked lineup of what he calls “killer session players,” such as drummer Fred Eltringham (Ringo Starr, Sheryl Crow), pianist Jim “Moose” Brown (Bob Seger), and bass player Seth Kaufman (Lana Del Rey). Though ‘Coyote’ covers familiar ground for LeBlanc of living on the edge of danger and its many consequences, the record is both autobiographical and a concept album built around the character of Coyote, a man on the run.

The story of ‘Coyote’ progresses linearly, opening with the dizzyingly declarative, strings-heavy title track which details Coyote’s arrival and quick departure as he crosses the border and gets involved with drug cartels. The trouble builds and dark waters rise until track six, “No Promises Broken,” a soaring, against-all-odds love song that marks when Coyote meets a girl, and his luck begins to change for the better. The song tells of how love heals, and places emphasis on lovers remaining open while maintaining their own freedoms, as LeBlanc believes that true devotion does not equal possession. He says that though both Coyote and his love each faced adversity, the hand of destiny put them on the same path and bound them together before they ever met: “‘No Promises Broken’ is an honest love song about two people who come from the same troubled past, and fate intertwines them together. It’s about acknowledging that there will be hard times ahead, but vowing to stick it out without making promises to each other that they know they can’t keep.”

“Wicked Kind” delves into Coyote’s addiction and warns of ever-present temptation looming on the horizon, and the restraint it takes for him to look away. The LP closes with “The Outside,” the title of which LeBlanc says is meant to be literal, as Coyote is outside of prison walls at last. With boundless slide guitar and skittish keys, it paints a haunting, desert highway vignette of Coyote fighting off lingering ghosts that breed a hesitance so potent that Coyote has to adjust his perspective and remind himself that he is free — the fight is over.

LeBlanc has seen shades of a life not unlike the character of Coyote. He, too, strayed from the straight and narrow and sparred with managing anger in his adolescence. Just as the brutal truth of “Hate” describes that the most gnarled parts of Coyote were molded by his harrowing experiences, it is something LeBlanc feels is universal, as hate does not discriminate.

“I went to school with people from all walks of life. We were different, but we thought, ‘We’re all poor,’ so we’re all in the same boat. We all grew up in chaos. It was the ‘90s in Louisiana on the border of Texas… that air was thick, man. Sink or swim type of mentality.”

LeBlanc is the first to warmly acknowledge his rough edges and tendency to chest-up to conflict, both the result of the volatility and instability of his youth. Now, no longer a boy who always had to be on alert and ready to defend himself, LeBlanc recognizes that his roots do not define or limit the man he is today. The cover art of a coyote wounded by arrows reflects just that, symbolizing LeBlanc’s resilience through what he has experienced: “The coyote is still upright, even though he’s full of arrows, even though he has been shot at and wounded many times. He still keeps going in defiance of everything that has been thrown at him. You can’t get an arrow out completely. You can break one side of it off, but the arrow is still there… there’s still a scar. It becomes a part of you… of your identity.”

Considering the distinct wisdom and lifetimes in his voice, it is no surprise that LeBlanc has known hardships, but he is a shining example of what beauty comes from perseverance. LeBlanc’s tenacity has paid off in spades, leading him to a record deal with ATO Records, releasing the critically acclaimed ‘Renegade’ in 2019, and now ‘Coyote,’ which LeBlanc says is “the record he has always wanted to make.”

Now in his thirties with a fiancé and a daughter he adores, LeBlanc is the closest he has ever been to the man he has always strived to be. With endearing candor, he confesses he is still learning to be less hot-headed and more gentle; but he doesn’t think about dying every day, like he used to. LeBlanc credits fatherhood for the perspective he has now on what matters, and his key concern is remaining devoted to those he loves most. Though far removed from a perilous life like Coyote’s, LeBlanc admits he still feels as if he is dancing on a razor’s edge all the same. The goodness he is surrounded by only gives him more to lose, with each glimmer carrying an asterisk of fear. One misstep and he worries that it all could vanish, but the lionhearted LeBlanc seems to forget he once unnerved even a wild coyote with his eyes alone.

JEFF CROSBY

A new chapter is opening for acclaimed Americana troubadour Jeff Crosby. He's finding fresh inspiration in dividing his time between his native Idaho and Texas, cowriting with friends in both places, and from stories gathered in chance encounters while playing some two hundred shows a year across Europe and America.

"My goal right now is to really encompass the feeling of the mountains of Idaho and the Hill Country in Texas. That's the sound that we're trying to steep ourselves in."

Described by Saving Country Music as "an important character in the alt-country, Americana, and independent country realm," Crosby has been a perennial road dog since his 2010 debut album. Raised in a sleepy Idaho mountain town, he had spells in Los Angeles (where two of his songs on FX crime drama Sons of Anarchy first brought him global attention) and Nashville before a stint as guitarist for alt-country luminaries Reckless Kelly brought him to Austin, where the scene and sound have seeped into his solo work. His travels have embroidered his songwriting, rooted in the likes of Tom Petty and Jackson Browne, with influences including Todd Snider, Steve Earle, Rodney Crowell, and Robert Earl Keen.

The members and music of Una Mas y La ChaCha reflect the diversity of Santa Fe – the Indigenous, the descendants of Spanish and Mexican families and multigenerational Anglos residents; and cumbias, boleros, flamenco, 70’s Chicano funk and eclectic covers with the band’s unique spin that they call Northern New Mexico soul music.

With a rock-solid rhythm section featuring bassist Brian Shannon, percussionists Adrian Trate and David Gomez supporting the soaring leads of guitarist and band founder D’Santi Nava, and the soulful vocals of Trate and la Cha Cha Krystle Lucero, Una Mas can deliver an intimate performance in a cozy venue that draws in the listener to rocking out before a crowd of thousands at large public events.

An Una Mas show is a night of passion and heritage that has crowds clearing out a dance space for a set of songs by Selena, listening respectfully to a hymn for Quetzalcoatl, or gazing in rapt attention as Nava, “el Brujo,” furiously works the fretboard. To hear Una Mas y la Cha Cha is to be present in a moment that weaves threads of time, genres, and peoples.

RAIL RUNNER LATE-NIGHT TRAIN
Starting June 1, a late-night southbound train departs the Santa Fe Depot Station at 10:05 pm during all Summer Scene Railyard concerts and makes every stop between Santa Fe and Downtown Albuquerque. Whether you’re coming from Albuquerque or stopping down the line in Santa Fe, the Rail Runner’s new schedule makes it easy to hop on the train and have some fun!

Garage grit. Blue's fire. Pure sweat.
Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears bring a sound that hits somewhere between James Brown, Lightnin’ Hopkins, and the MC5—raw, electric, and impossible to fake. This is a band that never chased the spotlight… it found them anyway. The kind of show you don’t just hear, you feel.

The members and music of Una Mas y La ChaCha reflect the diversity of Santa Fe – the Indigenous, the descendants of Spanish and Mexican families and multigenerational Anglos residents; and cumbias, boleros, flamenco, 70’s Chicano funk and eclectic covers with the band’s unique spin that they call Northern New Mexico soul music.

With a rock-solid rhythm section featuring bassist Brian Shannon, percussionists Adrian Trate and David Gomez supporting the soaring leads of guitarist and band founder D’Santi Nava, and the soulful vocals of Trate and la Cha Cha Krystle Lucero, Una Mas can deliver an intimate performance in a cozy venue that draws in the listener to rocking out before a crowd of thousands at large public events.

An Una Mas show is a night of passion and heritage that has crowds clearing out a dance space for a set of songs by Selena, listening respectfully to a hymn for Quetzalcoatl, or gazing in rapt attention as Nava, “el Brujo,” furiously works the fretboard. To hear Una Mas y la Cha Cha is to be present in a moment that weaves threads of time, genres, and peoples.

YUNG BAE
LA-based artist and producer Yung Bae might be best known for heralding the rise of Future Funk, stewarding the sub-genre from the underground into a cult-like phenomenon. From anime-themed Tumblr memes to shutting down stages across the world, Yung Bae has an extensive catalog spanning nine albums, including his prolific Bae series and Groove Continental, on which Bae welcomed a multitude of star power into his universe resulting in collaborations with Nile Rodgers, Channel Tres, AWOLNATION, Pink Sweat$, and more.

Yung Bae immediately grabs his listeners with a sound design that dances between 70’s funk and disco, smooth jazz, old school hip-hop and draws influence from ’90s anime and arcade video games. Having grown his niche fanbase through the wonders of the internet and social media, Yung Bae exploded with his viral single “Bad Boy” featuring bbno$ and has continuously evolved his sound while maintaining undeniable grooves. To sift through his nostalgic samples would surely be a day well spent, but it’s the way he brings them together in a colorful, quirky vapor-bounce style that keeps listeners coming back.

Songs & Stories: Ray Wylie Hubbard, Eliza Gilkyson, Jimmie Dale Gilmore

DOORS 6:30pm • All Ages

Songs & Stories returns! Ray Wylie Hubbard, Eliza Gilkyson, and Jimmie Dale Gilmore come together on stage for an evening of incredible music and collaboration. They also perform in Taos and Albuquerque.

Ray Wylie Hubbard
A willing conspirator in the late seventies Cosmic Cowboy revolt that ushered in the mythical Outlaw era, Texas singer-songwriter Ray Wylie Hubbard was a catalyst in the cultural upheaval that led to the peaceful coexistence of Lone Star music enthusiasts. In the stellar company of iconic colleagues like Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Doug Sahm, and Jerry Jeff Walker, Hubbard was an architect of the musical legacy that continues to inspire subsequent generations of up-and-coming Texas talent.

In the years that followed, he evolved into a writer of uncommonly honest portraits of life, alternating between deep personal sagas and poignant character studies of those traveling on the dark side of the road.

Eliza Gilkyson
Eliza Gilkyson is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and activist who is one of the most respected musicians in folk, roots, and Americana circles. Her songs have been covered by Joan Baez, Bob Geldof, Chris Smither, the world-renowned Conspirare Choir, Tom Rush, and Rosanne Cash.

Eliza’s current release, Dark Ages, is a surprisingly upbeat collection of songs, although she pulls no punches in terms of the times in which we find ourselves and her sentiments regarding the current dismantling of the US Constitution by the newly elected president. Working in collaboration with Don Richmond, her producer/accompanist for the last two records, and calling on some of her Austin compadres and fellow New Mexicans to join her, the album showcases Eliza in her strongest and most compelling voice.

Jimmie Dale Gilmore
Jimmie Dale Gilmore has been writing songs and playing music for more than half a century. Born in Amarillo and raised in Lubbock, Gilmore makes music that springs from West Texas dusty high plains, blending elements of folk, rock, country, blues, and bluegrass. His recordings have earned three Grammy nominations in both Contemporary Folk and Traditional Folk, and he was named Country Artist of the Year for three consecutive years by Rolling Stone. Along with longtime compadres Joe Ely and Butch Hancock, Gilmore’s legendary band The Flatlanders has been credited as “Fathers of the Alt-Country” movement

NEAL FRANCIS
Neal Francis is a Chicago-based singer, songwriter, and pianist known for blending psych-rock, funk, and ’70s dance influences into a richly analog sound. His third album, Return To Zero, channels heavy guitar riffs and groove-driven rhythms into a moody, dance-infused rock style shaped by years of touring and creative experimentation. Equal parts heady and hedonistic, pensive and euphoric, the album echoes both his deep-rooted psych-rock sensibilities and a lifelong affinity for classic funk.

A seasoned performer who’s played major festivals and iconic venues, Francis continues to push his sound with ambitious, collaborative recordings rooted in vintage production and emotional depth.
