NEW-TO-ME MUSIC ACTS
Mastodon Post

Some of the new-to-me acts I really like are

<> Rachel Croft, a YouTube suggestion that worked out really well
<> Southern Avenue: I heard a track on WRSI and bought it right away
<> The Staves: it seems to me I have bought every Staves release except for one and I'll probably go back for it
<> The Wolff Sisters (with Dick Curless's grandson on drums): a new favorite out of Boston
<> The Hillbilly Moon Explosion when the woman sings. Since this hillbilly outfit is Zurich-based, the vocalist could be singing in a third language.

Twisted Pine has a new album released today titled "Love Your Mind."

The featured track, "Goosebump Feeling" is quite good; but the following track, "Chanel Perfume" ft. Ali McGuirk is even better.

I've also gone back to the great Bettye LaVette.

Mastodon Post

Hurricane
by The Wolff Sisters

https://thewolffsisters.bandcamp.com/track/hurricane

"Hurricane" is a great new folk rock recording by the Wolff Sisters. It was released the first of May.

Rebecca Wolff: Acoustic Guitar, Vocals
Rachael Wolff: Electric Guitar, Vocals
Kat Wolff: Keys, Vocals
Ryan Curless: Drums
Caleb Sweet: Bass

It is my guess that drummer Ryan Curless is a grandson of country music star Dick Curless.

GUSTER "ON THE OCEAN" FESTIVAL 2024
Mastodon Post

We are so psyched for three nights of Guster this summer at our 6th On The Ocean Festival in Portland ME, August 9 - 11.
​
Joining us this year will be Grace Potter, Kevin Morby, Toad the Wet Sprocket, The Dip, Trousdale, Sunny War, and The Wolff Sisters. This includes a special 25th Anniversary performance of “Lost & Gone Forever” on Sunday at Thompson’s Point.
​
Friday night we’re back at the State Theatre for a rollicking set that’ll include karaoke and costumes. Dress up as your favorite rock star and maybe end up on stage with a microphone in your hand.
​
We’re also excited for the return of Guster Beer, the B-stage at Thompson’s Point, Guster “moth” storytellers, and the Kids Zone.

On The Ocean is a weekend built around community, a chance to celebrate music and positivity with other humans who own multiple Guster shirts.
