Jeff Cramer Releases “Forgive” via PopMatters, Announces Debut Album
Colorado singer-songwriter Jeff Cramer is pleased to announce the upcoming release of his debut solo album, Northern 45, releasing January 25th, 2019. The songs on Northern 45 were a decade in the making, with each of them heralding back to Cramer’s Midwestern roots and sense of adventure. Cramer’s musical stories began to take form on his journey from northern Wisconsin to Bolivia and back to Washington D.C., up through the wilds of Maine, and through the crisp, mountainous air of Denver, Colorado. The first single, “Forgive,” premieres today via PopMatters, hailing the track as “a song that sounds plenty like the name on the tin, encapsulating a warm and wistful voice that pervades its overall presentation… Cramer’s easygoing grit is enough to simultaneously captivate and soothe listeners as a breath of breezy guitar tones and rollicking percussion swirl around it.”

Sunshine And The Rain (fmr. Black Hollies) share two new tracks, expand lineup
Imagine a fairy tale where the romance plays out in rock clubs instead of castles. Justin and Ashley Morey met in 2008 at the Empty Bottle in Chicago when Justin played there with his former band The Black Hollies. They kept in touch, reconnected a year later at the Cake Shop in NYC and began dating long distance while Ashley attended college in Nashville. During her senior year, Justin proposed, and in 2013, with the help of venue owner and longtime friend Todd Abramson, they got married in the back room of Maxwell’s — New Jersey’s most hallowed music hall. It’s safe to say their future was written.

Riley Moore invites us to his “house” in new video “Sitting On A Boat”
Nashville-based folkicana troubadour Riley Moore’s debut LP Vagrant, which Billboard called “a wide-ranging Americana effort,” was released on July 6th, an album which highlights a soul-baring momentary pause in a life that’s been anything but sedentary. Moore, who has wandered across the globe, is one of the first musicians to complete a 1,600 mile tour on foot from Maine to Tennessee with folk collective The Walking Guys and currently lives on a sailboat suitably anchored in the Cumberland River in Nashville. As he speaks about his path towards this minimal, whimsical state, he romanticizes transience in the manner of a young Woody Guthrie, and summarizes this temporal spirit in fragments pulled from his history of perpetual movement across city, region, and country lines.
