SUMMARY:Kathleen Edwards
DESCRIPTION:For decades\, Kathleen Edwards has been a cornerstone of North American roots music.\nSince making her debut with 2002’s Failer\, she’s spent the 21st century occupying the grey area between genres\, swirling together her own mix of alt-country\, folk\, and heartland rock & roll. It’s a sound that has earned its creator more than a half-dozen Juno nominations\, as well as Top 40 success on both sides of the Canadian/American border. Now in her third decade as an artist\, Kathleen Edwards has done more than carry the torch of songwriting heroes like Tom Petty\, Neil Young\, and Lucinda Williams — she’s opened the door for others\, too\, inspiring a new generation of artists who\, like her\, blur the boundaries between genre and generation.\nA native of Ottawa\, Ontario\, Edwards was still in her early 20s when she released the critically-acclaimed Failer. The album’s warm\, woozy sound — crystallized on radio hits like “Six O’Clock News” — quickly turned her into one of the era’s alt-country heroes. From the very start\, though\, Edwards’ music seemed to exist somewhere out of time\, resisting categorization even as Failer received a Juno nomination for “Roots & Traditional Album of the Year.”\n“No one knew what to call my type of music back then\,” she says of those early years. “The Americana genre didn’t exist yet\, so they couldn’t categorize me. I just made the kind of music I wanted to make.”\nEdwards continued blazing her own trail with follow-up albums like Back to Me and Asking for Flowers. By the time Voyageur arrived in 2012\, Americana very much did exist as a genre\, and Edwards found herself riding a newfound commercial peak. The album reached Number 2 on the Canadian Albums Chart and Number 3 on Billboard’s Folk Albums chart. Even so\, a busy decade on the road had left her exhausted. After touring in support of Voyageur’s release\, Edwards left the music business altogether and moved to suburban Ontario\, where she opened a coffee shop called — defiantly — “Quitters.”\n“Before I turned 30\, I toured the world and put out nearly four records\, performed on TV\, and had an incredible run\,” she says of her first 10 years in the spotlight. “What’s interesting is that I walked away from all of it\, too — and when I came back\, I felt better than the person who put out Failer.”\nBy the late 2010s\, Edwards felt recharged and revitalized. When a phone call arrived from Maren Morris\, who was looking for songwriting partners for a new project\, Edwards jumped at the chance to collaborate. The two musicians co-wrote “Good Woman\,” which appeared on Morris’ Grammy-nominated album Girl in 2019. Back home in Canada\, Edwards continued to write new material\, eventually partnering with producer Ian Fitchuk for the album Total Freedom. Released in 2020\, the album expanded her sound and her audience\, boosted by two hit songs — “Options Open” and “Hard on Everyone” — that both reached the Top 30 on the Triple A chart in America. Total Freedom didn’t just mark her return to the music industry. It was a rebirth\, too.\nWhat’s next? New music\, of course. She and Grammy-winner Jim Scott co-produced and released an album called Covers\, which pays homage to some of her songwriting heroes – Tom Petty\, REM\, John Prine\, Bruce Springsteen\, et al. Edwards remains a fan of “ripping guitar riffs and good songs\,” and she’s combining both into a follow-up album co-produced by Grammy-winners Jason Isbell and Gena Johnson that will showcase her legacy as well as her evolution.\nShe maintains a presence on the road\, too\, playing her own gigs one minute and sharing shows with her heroes — including Willie Nelson\, John Fogerty\, and Bob Dylan — the next.\n“The amount of things I’ve gone through might make someone else quit…but quitting doesn’t quite do it for me\,” she says. “I can’t help but want to write great songs\, connect with people\, and see what’s ahead. I don’t love looking behind\, even though it’s one of the ways we can see what we’ve done\, so I’m looking forward.”

SUMMARY:Vampire Weekend – ‘Only God Was…
DESCRIPTION:Following an undeniably triumphant 2024 tour\, Vampire Weekend have announced their return to global stages this summer.\nSince the release of their rapturously received fifth studio album\, Only God Was Above Us (Columbia Records)\, Vampire Weekend launched their live run under an eclipsed sky in Austin (hailed by Variety as one of the ‘Best Concerts of 2024’)\, graced stages everywhere from a surprise set at Coachella\, a sold out Hollywood Bowl and Red Rocks\, as well as amphitheater and arena stops across the country highlighted by a two sold out show stand at the famed Madison Square Garden. With no plans to slow down in 2025\, the band is set to dominate festival stages and solo dates spanning the US including Philadelphia\, Miami\, Charleston and more. Additionally\, Vampire Weekend have kept their promise of returning to the city of Asheville after postponing their initial date due to the devastating Hurricane Helene.\nVampire Weekend continues to treat fans to the inner workings of the band as they release the latest episode of their sensational podcast Vampire Campfire. On the seventh installment of VC Koenig\, Baio\, and Tomson discuss the year ahead: OGWAU Tour Part 2\, festivals old and new\, a Frog on the Bass Drum revival\, and much more. 2025 will be full of surprises\, that’s a promise.

SUMMARY:Easton Corbin
DESCRIPTION:Easton Corbin has been gracing stages with his memorable baritone and unique blend of traditional and modern country music for more than a decade – and his latest album release\, Let’s Do Country Right\, is no exception.  \nKnown for No. 1 singles like “A Little More Country Than That” and “Roll With It\,” along with recent releases\, “easygoing” and “fun number” (Billboard) “I Can’t Decide\,” “love anthem” (People) “Marry That Girl\,” and newest focus track and upcoming tour title\, “Lonesome Drinkers” (all included on Let’s Do Country Right) the Florida native continues to deliver that same neotraditional sound fans know and love today. \nWorking with longtime producer Carson Chamberlain\, as well as co-writing collaborators like Wade Kirby\, Shane Minor\, Adam Craig\, and Wyatt McCubbin\, Corbin says the past three years have allowed him to focus more seriously on writing music and finding the message he wants to convey to listeners on his forthcoming project. “It’s about being authentic and that’s what I always focus on when I write or record\,” he says. “I keep one foot in traditional and one foot in the modern and marry those two. That’s really been my motto through the years.” And he’s had a successful time doing so. Throughout his career\, Corbin has amassed seven top 10 singles and three American Country Awards. Named Billboard’s 2010 Top New Country Artist\, Corbin has never shied away from his traditional roots with Your Big Sky complimenting his “unapologetic and unwavering traditional country sound.” His self-titled debut album was named Country Breakthrough Album of the Year by iTunes Rewind Best of 2010 while American Songwriter has complimented the singer’s “warm\, smooth-as-gravy-southern drawl.”
