The Adults are the bar band you can’t ignore, not because of the deafening volume, but rather that the snarky wry humor and innuendo derail attempts at casual conversation. On the plus side, you could probably book them to play your ten year old daughter’s birthday party, and she would not cry.

Dancer, teacher, singer, Wisconsin native and Austin by way of San Francisco transplant Brittany Shane continues to make waves wherever she goes. Sharp spurs on well-oiled saddles, “Nights,” alights with succinct winks and sly smiles moving through loose ska-riddled jangle and intricate folk-ballad tapestries dressed in flirty skirts and cowboy boots. A vixen-singing wingman to life’s romantic roadblocks, Brittany coolly refutes opposing views in simple astute rhymes which, casually landing on top of top-notch back-up, brings, String,” sizzling common sense suited to each scene and situation. Recorded over eleven days during a Texas heat wave., the resulting product smolders and sweats without tipping into crazed rage or imbalanced challenges, traveling well-trod paths with subtle updates and hook-rattling passions, fiery pop-rock trots offering cantering life lessons.

I’ve written about his work before and he never ceases to impress. Former Geisha guitarist Joe Matera has finished his latest EP, Slave to the Fingers. Matera’s six-stringed attack features a previously released single “Face Off” which includes winding solos and melodic rhythm and is an excellent showcase of just how talented Matera really is.

It’s hard to imagine after thirty years what Australian singer-songwriter Paul Kelly has left on his bucket list. Song-writer, world-traveler, occasional actor, recent author and crikey folk-poet chronicler of trains, love, cricket, history and gravy, Kelly’s 1997 compilation has just been updated and doubled in size. A muscular busker, kind-hearted huckster and homesick vagabond, Kelly’s tough but tender repertoire employ potent hobo bluegrass, swirling pub-rock blues and electric country-fried soul. Outback rascals, hopeless romantics and crusading criminals buffered in small-town joys and thick-skinned opinions inhabit family scrapbooks, honky-tonk hearts and upstart remarks. Coy references served in soothing cougar growls, “Songs,” showcase a writer’s eye for spirited lyrics, delivering the indescribable in nuance filled with exacting detail, an unblinking witness to foiled fates and unavoidable foibles

On their debut album, Dream All Everyday Krown Vega blends the pensiveness of Radiohead with powerful guitars in a throwback to the musical eras Led Zepplin and Pink Floyd. Songs explore themes from living fully to pop culture.
