Mike Tod is one of the most compelling artists I know and I'm thrilled to be working with him on his new single "Lyke Wake Dirge," out today in honour of Samhain.
Produced in Dublin with John "Spud" Murphy. Thanks to Glide Magazine for the video premiere.

Really sad to see the decline of a great guitarist like Brian Setzer. The Stray Cats were something special in the early '80s and had a big impact on me and a lot of my friends

The Stray Cats have announced the cancellation of their fall United States tour, citing member Brian Setzer‘s “serious illness.” 💔

"When Will We Know" is another great new single from Vancouver's Ben Arsenault, out now on Bandcamp and DSPs via North Country Collective.
This one's got a more '80s bounce, showing off his Randy Travis-level pipes.
