Music by Paul Inman

Paul Inman's Delivery is comprised of singer-songwriter-guitarist/keyboard player/harmonica player and renegade avid poet/artist Paul Inman and a rotating cast of supporting musical compatriots. Raised near Detroit Michigan, Inman digested much from that locale's sonic landscape before emigrating to Los Angeles where he absorbed the Americana/folk stylings of California's most compelling artists (The Band, Tom Waits,Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, The Buffalo Springfield, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Blood on The Tracks/Desire era Dylan, Van Morrison's Hard Nose the Highway), blending them into a compelling Gothic-tinged folk/pop/rock delivery. Touring both as a trio and as a solo acoustic guitar and piano act, Paul Inman's Delivery have released a slew of full-length records of deftly performed gothic-tinged americana infused with folk and pop. Their latest, Songs Of The Broken Earth, further expands their sonic palette to incorporate blues and electronic stylings, while remaining embedded in the americana and roots rock genre. They tour intermittently both in the U.S. and in Europe while continuing to record new material. They have shared stages with the likes of Marc Olsen and Victoria Williams (Creek Dippers), Gram Rabbit, Lucinda Williams, Steve Forbert, Jim Lauderdale, and The Jayhawks, among other luminaries of words and music . They are looking to release a new record in the coming year... www.paulinman.net

Pictish Trail + HMS Morris + Crash Tonic

Pictish Trail , AKA Johnny Lynch , has just completed work on a brand-new album — LIFE SLIME — a sticky, shimmering swirl of sound and oooze (both metaphorical and literal). To celebrate, he returns to the stage in 2026 accompanied by his full live band. These shows bring the new songs to life in bold, expansive form — rhythmic, euphoric and immersive, balancing motorik pulse with warped pop melody and raw emotional release. Expect tenderness, weirdness, and a generous dollop of goo.

Music by Eric Allen

Eric Allen is an Americana, blues, and country singer-songwriter and guitarist. He grew up in Indiana with his father and stepmother, playing in his father's country and western band from age four. After earning a law degree as the first person in his family to attend college, Eric served as faculty at an Ivy League university before working in publishing in New York City for over a decade. From 2012-2015, Eric backpacked through 45 countries in Asia, East Africa, eastern Europe, and the Middle East. Over the past several years, he has been living in, and playing on several tours throughout, China. Eric Allen is known for the authentic, soulful, and raspy sound that characterizes his original Americana, blues, and outlaw country compositions, which include 40 Years, Tomcat Stroll, All on Death Row, Black Water Buff, Rattlesnake Mama, and Itinerant Blues among many others. Eric will fully-release his 2nd studio album, Prowlin' Lobo Blues, in February 2023. Using primarily acoustic instruments, and without the use of drums, Prowlin' Lobo Blues explores life on the rails and road during the mid-19th century, Great Depression, and modern times. Eric’s debut album, Eric Allen, released in January 2021 and was also an acoustic undertaking without drums. Its songs convey stories of life on the road, hope, and longing in Eric’s down-to-earth, world-weary style.
