Bywater Call – Colours
With a rootsy New Orleans vibe written all over them, they are actually from Toronto, this Americana Blues Rock painting uses the brush strokes of Tedeschi Trucks, Warren Haynes, and the Allman Brothers.
Bones Owens – Get It On

Sadler Vaden – Staying Alive

Red Clay Strays – Wasting Time
These Alabama based Country rockers wear their Southern rock influences loudly and proudly. “Wasting Time” is a real shit-kicker of a record. Think Hank Jr. in his reckless prime fronting a band that is part Lynyrd Skynyrd and part Cadillac Three before they went all Nashville. And, we almost forgot. There is a bit of Molly Hatchet thrown in there for good measure.
