Magnolia Roads Presents American Roots Hoedown VII is just three days away.  The event kicks off Friday April 29 at Dee's Country Cocktail Lounge.  The event kicks off at 4pm and the music starts at 5.  $10 cover 21+

Our highlighted artist from Friday night is Matt Mann & The Shine Runners who are set to take the stage at 10:20pm.

Matt Mann and The Shine Runners are an American rock band residing in Nashville, TN.  Formed in Los Angeles in November 2011 by singer/songwriter and Oklahoma native, Matt Mann, the band made the move to Music City in 2018.  With influences ranging from the Rolling Stones, Skynryd, ZZ Top, Willie Nelson and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Matt Mann and The Shine Runners deliver their brand of raucous and memorable blues-rock music to enthusiastic crowds.  Their bluesy, boozy, two guitar rock sounds transports listeners back into the early seventies, making their music timeless.  Matt’s unique style of singing gives the band an authentic sound and sets them apart from other mainstream rock ‘n’ roll bands.

As I dig out from the last month - and the last 14 months (maybe longer), I find myself not having too much to say. I feel like this is a time for reflection and for reexamining habits and patterns to see what still makes sense and what doesn't. It feels like this reflection needs to take place either internally or in a one-on-one setting - not via a public post...   Music - though - remains a constant, and we have some good music to talk about today...

Our penultimate Feature Friday recap for the week - songs 16-19:

16. "Bach o Flodyn" by KIM HON

Adding to our growing list of recent Welsh rock, we have the latest single from KIM HON. The song was written after watching a Robert Johnson documentary and attempting to emulate his riffs... it may not be Robert Johnson, but an excellent song is the result. 

17. "For My Animals" by American Culture

The second single and title track from the forthcoming album on HHBTM records. American Culture are a basement core band from Denver, Colorado. The album was recorded pre-COVID and delivered to the record company at the beginning of the pandemic. Look for it soon, and check out the video for the track "Pedals" was recently premiered. 

18. "Another Life" by Hadda Be

Next up, we have the new single from this London/Brighton based postpunk/indiepop band.  It is from their forthcoming Another Life album (due April 30).  I dig it. 

19. "Let's Go" by Peter Donovan 

We close with the first release on Envoy Records - a new indie label with offices in L.A. and Seattle. This is a split single featuring the two label owners.  We will have the other part of the split single tomorrow - today we have a wonderful songs from Peter Donovan. Donovan is a Seattle based singer-songwriter who has released music with All the Real Girls - working with members of Death Cab and Portugal the Man.
