In case you missed it, we premiered a brand new video from Anana Kaye this morning.  You can view that HERE

Today is also Friday, so that means we have a brand new Featured Friday Playlist  - check it out below and on Spotify, and if you feel so inclined, please follow!  Thanks for everyone who has followed so far.

Below the jump, I have some short takes on some of this week's songs.  As usual, no video playlist on Friday since you can stream the music here.

Special shout out to our old friend Ugggy who released a stunning new song earlier this week. It is not on Spotify, but you can download and listen here!

    Featured Friday Playlist

Some old friends and new faces in this week's Featured Friday playlist. 

Starting off with the latest single from Nicole Boggs & The Reel- remember we featured her a few weeks back. She has one more single due on June 5 and then her EP None of Your Business will be released July 3.

We previously featured Ben Bostick's Hellfire album a couple of years ago. His new album Among the Faceless crowd was released today.  It has a different sound then the previous album, but I dig it.

A long-time E2TG local favorite - J.R. Wyatt is back with a new single.  Wyatt looks different every time I see him and he uses his real name on Facebook, so I don't know who the hell he is, but I look forward to not recognizing again as soon as this stuff is over.

Jon Worthy is another local favorite with a new single. A more acoustic sound than his more recent band related music. 

Chris Milam is a Memphis based singer songwriter who released his new album.  We have the title track in the playlist today.

More new music from Carl Anderson.  I first learned of Anderson when Darrin Bradbury did a show with him in Charlottesville, VA where Anderson was based. He subsequently moved to Nashville, and he was been an E2TG favorite ever since.

Michael Zimmerman releases his second instrumental album of 2020 called Winds of Change. Great stuff from yet another local favorite.

Our old friend Marla Mase releases an acoustic take on a favorite of hers called Truth Comes Down. Great to have her in the playlist this week.

Phenom Sammy Brue releases True Believer ahead of his new album Crash Test Kid due out June 12.

We have several newcomers to E2TG - Kyle Lalone released his EP Somewhere in Between - which sounds fantasic.

Plus new and recent music from The Academy of Sun, Joules, Petter Carlsen, Sean Dampte, Felixity, The Microdance, The Kecks, and Monks Road Social.  Monks Road Social features members of Style Council, Brand New Heavies, Mother Earth, Blow Monkeys, and Galliano.
