Boston’s country rock collective Dalton & the Sheriffs

Blending Americana-fueled country rock with an edge-of-punk rowdiness, Boston five-piece Dalton & the Sheriffs has emerged as “one of the most promising up-and-coming country groups in the nation” (Metro). Channeling inspirations from performing greats like Eric Church and Hootie & the Blowfish, the band’s frenetic energy and authentic take on country rock has taken them from prestigious venues like Paradise Rock Club and House of Blues to opening for the likes of Jason Aldean & Thomas Rhett, Cole Swindell and Sam Hunt.

Capping 2018 with an at-capacity show at Boston’s Paradise Rock Club, the band kicks off their 2019 tour this Friday, January 25th at Chicago’s Joe’s on Weed. The initial 30+-date run includes the band’s debuts at Los Angeles’ Hotel Cafe, NYC’s Mercury Lounge and Nashville’s The Cowan this spring.

new live EP from Raye Zaragoza

Raye Zaragoza is an award-winning singer/songwriter and performer whose multinational heritage (Native American (O’odham), Mexican, Taiwanese and Japanese) deeply informs her music. This perspective can be heard in her anthem ‘American Dream’. The powerful and thought-provoking single is inspired by the destruction of Donald Trump’s election, the lack of mainstream media for Standing Rock and the struggles Zaragoza faced growing up as a female multi-cultural youth in the US. Inspired by numerous elements which have impacted Zaragoza’s life, she tells the tale of her great grandmother and how was forced into a boarding school to be raised by a European woman, separated from her parents and siblings. Zaragoza reveals, “Her story haunts me, because so many people don’t realize the awful things that have happened in this country just within the past 100 years. The only way to move forward is to acknowledge that ‘change is a choice that can start with you”.
