Flatland Cavalry – HoneyWine

We’ve been anxiously awaiting a new Flatland Cavalry tune and it’s finally here!!  Cleto and crew get down-right country in this one! We love the foot stomping rhythm, twangy strings, and feel-good lyrics.  This is a perfect soundtrack for this time a year, where it’s still warm enough to do summerish things on the weekend, but school, football season, and life is in full swing!

John Baumann – Lonely in Bars

With this new radio single, John Baumann yet again delivers another story that you just have to hear. His lyrics are the perfect romance…relatable yet incredibly poetic. Beyond his fantastic songwriting talent, his distinctive vocals make this song one of a kind. I definitely recommend diving into this one (and the rest of Baumann’s work while you’re at it!).

Ben Danaher Getting Over Someone, Silver Screen, Hell or High Water

I saw Ben Danaher live earlier this year and have had my eye on his new album ever since. “My Father’s Blood” is a very personal story of an album he delivered to uplift us all. Our picks include the easy listening track “Getting Over Someone”, the romantically sweet love song “Silver Screen” and the jammin’ “Hell or High Water”. I also really dig Danaher’s #StillFeelLucky project and encourage you to check it out!
