Here’s a list of new music, primarily by new musicians I’ve discovered or by musicians I’ve known for a while. I’ve also included notable musical events.
- 2025-05-26: We went to a Paul Pigat concert last night. It was a great show, and he played a lot of songs from his last record, Plays the Blues Vol 1 (February 28, 2025). The venue was packed, and the energy in the room was electric. Overall, it was an amazing night filled with great music and good vibes!
- 2025-04-25: Brent Cobb: I discovered this musician on the radio; for some reason, he reminded me of Dylan. I was surprised to learn that he was a country artist. I love the way he sings. He has a unique style that I find very appealing. Down In The Gulley.
