The Ghost And The Machine – Sorrow

With poetic, dark lyrics reminiscent of Mark Lanegan, Chelsea Wolfe, or Tom Waits, nostalgic synthesizers, and the distinctive sounds of his resonator guitars, “Sorrows” is a unique mix of sounds that tell touching stories. Guest appearances by fellow instrumentalists and friends included. More information at Hemifran.

Joshua Singleton– The Promised Land

Singer songwriter Joshua Singleton explodes the americana genre with high value tunes that blend roots rock, blues, country, and soul into something that’s entirely his own. He moved to Music City in 2017, and quickly signed a publishing deal. He spent 3 years there writing country songs. More information at Hemifran.
