Adam Voith is a booking agent at WME in Nashville, where he represents a small roster of world-class badasses. Long ago, before the business of music took center stage, Adam ran the mid-brow micro-press TNI Books which released work from writers and artists like Camden Joy, Damien Jurado, and David Shields, along with two of Adam&#8217;s own books. Adam has recently returned to his love for writing and published pieces in The Sewanee Review, Hobart, and an issue of the fictional zine &#8220;The Christian Humper&#8221;. Adam is working on a novel which lives in the Christian Rock world of the 1990s. You can find more on his website: <a href="http://adamvoith.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">adamvoith.com</a>.

Say Her Name

It&#8217;s been 22 years since the last solo release by Trip Shakespeare founder Matt Wilson. His fearless falsetto and emotive songwriting made him a strong driving force for that legendary Minneapolis band-but the group he currently fronts, Matt Wilson &amp; His Orchestra, trades Trip&#8217;s psychedelia for a variety of strings (especially harp), some handheld percussion, and a lot more introspection. It might actually be the perfect album for the current cocooned state of American life: cozy, soothing, and extremely internal.
