According to writer Mitch Mosk, "A lifelong artist and natural storyteller, Danielle Howle has lived a million lives in one, releasing well over a dozen studio albums in a four-decade career that has traversed genres, styles, and cultures, encompassing everything from country-swamp-blues and jazz to folk, southern rock, indie, and Americana – all while endlessly exploring the depths of the human condition. She’s opened for legends like Bob Dylan and Bonnie Raitt, and was a close friend of the late singer/songwriter Elliott Smith, but Howle doesn’t focus on, nor does she live in the past. Her head and her heart are in the present, as is made abundantly clear throughout her highly anticipated sixteenth studio album, "Current" (out November 2023 via Kill Rock Stars Nashville)." “I’ve been watching this Earth for a long time, and it’s still fascinating,” Howle says, reflecting on her work to date. “I find wonder in everything on some level. I’m still curious and captivated by the human experience; I’m a current reporter on that.” Known for his wry humor & guitar stylings, Beacon, NY’s Stephen Clair has been a fixture on the Americana, singer-songwriter and garage rock scenes since 1997’s, Altoona Hotel. Clair came to prominence when the late Rita Houston added "Jen in Her Underwear" to rotation on WFUV, putting Clair on the map and the road. "Rawboned," Clair’s latest album features nothing more than Clair and a guitar. Each song is a complete take, a miniature story. Every note—including the air around it—is intentional.
