His forthcoming EP Stories of Our Lives Vol. 1 marks the latest chapter in his ongoing exploration of the human condition. The ever-evolving singer songwriter continues to musically blur the lines between folk, blues, pop and soul with a poetry that touches a nerve. On the project's first single "With Him", Sudano writes about a failing relationship that underscores how love and heartbreak is a shared experience that transcends sexuality. The song produced by Mike Montali, lead singer from roots rock band Hollis Brown, premiered with a video directed by Norwegian filmmaker Erik Bergamini, who vividly renders "With Him" through a haunting storyline intercut with Sudano's impassioned performance.

My muse strikes.” Vistas and the faces and emotions they summon unfurl with compelling grace on Visions, Howe’s anticipated debut album. A modern love letter to 60s and 70s folk and timeless blues, Visions pays homage without succumbing to imitation, and offers an intimate snapshot of a young artist discovering her own power. Early praise for Visions has streamed in from gatekeepers such as American Blues Scene and smitten local press alike. “Sometimes we’re lucky enough to catch an up-and-coming artist as they fly into our radar,” critic JD Nash writes. “This is one of those times.” PFS PRESENTS: Front Country w/ Noah Derksen Friday, November 15, 2019. Doors 7:30pm | Music 8pm. Tickets are → $12 for Members *While Supplies Last* | $15 Not-Yet-Members | $18 at the door, purchase here https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pfs-presents-front-country-with-noah-derksen-tickets-68290866821 Front Country reside in Nashville, and, according to NPR, play ‘String-Band Pop’ The band of five reimagines songs by Don Henley, King Crimson and the indie-pop band tUnE-yArDs, but also plays traditional tunes, like the Carter Family's "The Storms Are On The Ocean" — though mandolinist Adam Roszkiewicz admits their arrangement makes it sort of unrecognizable. "It's not so much to ruin it on principle with the rock music," he laughs. "We might be doing things differently, but at the heart of it, it's just songs, good songs we like that we can get behind." Most of the new material, though, is original.
