The Spectacle and Sensation of Shania Twain

H.Grimace is a London-based post-punk quartet.
Born of a partnership between vocalist/guitarist Hannah Gledhill and guitarist Marcus Browne, the band draws from the dark and enigmatic, occasionally allowing shades of shoegaze and psych to slip through the cracks.
Bassist Corin Johnson and drummer Diogo Gomez provide a driving rhythm to complement Gledhill and Browne’s songwriting; together H. Grimace has drawn comparisons to Savages and Sister-era Sonic Youth.

Drew Holcomb and his band the Neighbors turned a new corner with 2017’s Souvenir, a highly collaborative album that debuted #1 on iTunes and Amazon and garnered acclaim from Rolling Stone, CMT, Entertainment Weekly and more.  A road warrior for more than a decade, Holcomb has spent adulthood traveling from place to place with a catalog of vibrant, honest songs that explore the full range of American roots music.  Holcomb &amp; crew have appeared at Bonnaroo, Outsidelands, Stagecoach and more, while sharing stages with legendary artists including Willie Nelson, John Hiatt, Ryan Adams, and The Avett Brothers.
An Emmy Award-winner with his music synced in over 75 of TV’s most watched shows, Holcomb has also appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! twice, most recently for his collaborative EP Goodbye Road with JOHNNYSWIM performing their resounding single “Ring the Bells” in summer of 2018. Among Holcomb’s ambitious projects are his Moon River Music Festival, an annual event benefitting local and national non-profits and Magnolia Records, a monthly vinyl subscription service, both curated meticulously by Holcomb himself. In 2019, Drew and his wife Ellie have teamed up for the Electricity EP which features two new original songs and a stunning Willie Nelson cover, “On the Road Again,” as well as limited engagement tour – The You and Me Tour: An Evening with Drew &amp; Ellie Holcomb &#8211; to kick start what promises to be a busy year.

How to Become a TV Music Booker: An Unlikely Story in 29 Steps

Mark Arm has been at the sardonic heart of Seattle’s music scene ever since forming Green River in 1984, a band that—as with Mudhoney, the group that rose from Green River’s ashes—is widely regarded as a pioneering the “grunge” sound that dominated culture for most of the ’90s. But Mudhoney has long transcended such passing fads: Its tenth album, Digital Garbage, arrived Sept. 28, offering another furious blast of timelessly sharp, skuzzy garage-punk that affirms why it’s survived while so many contemporaries imploded. Mudhoney embarks this November for a 19-date European tour, for which Arm will have to take some time off from running the warehouse at Sub Pop, the label he helped to build.
