Ben Fuller's Debut Album 'Little Siberia'

With a weathered voice and ragged soul that belie his youthful good looks, Ben Fuller shares an ethos and sound more akin to legends of the past than so many artists currently waving the folk flag. While Fuller's diverse influences, ranging from the heartfelt angst of Ryan Adams to the rambling spirit of the Grateful Dead, map the course of Little Siberia, it's Fuller's original take on the American Dream, and the spirit of 70s AM rock, that shines through. Deftly bouncing from upbeat folk-pop ("Oh Memory") to reggae-inflected jam ("Love Song For the People"), Fuller's semi-autobiographical take on American dreamers and searchers contains elements of melancholy, but in the end, optimism prevails and Fuller eludes jaded cynicism at every turn. 

The origin story of Little Siberia speaks to the natural, organic feel of the record. The album was inspired while Fuller hunkered down in the isolated wilderness of Lake Tahoe's West shore. Snow-bound with his pregnant wife and daughter in a secluded cabin during one of the wettest winters on record, Fuller crafted a mosaic of stories sung from a place of introspection and re-birth. "Little Siberia is the nickname of the neighborhood we lived in while writing the songs for the record," explains Fuller. "On a deeper level, Little Siberia refers to the intimate, emotional, isolated space within each of us where we process things we don't necessarily want to or are able to share with others."

The recording of Little Siberia is a tribute to a bygone era. Much of the tracking was done in the same room as Pet Sounds and on the same 70's Gretch drum kit from Tom Petty's Wildflowers. It was then mixed to 2" analog tape, giving Little Siberia a warm, vintage sound, one that can only be achieved via analog. Produced by two-time Grammy award winner Jesus "Chuy" Flores and artist/producer Scott Fisher (founders of Mondial Music Group), Little Siberia is a love letter to the past, and a mature, artistic leap forward for Ben Fuller as a songwriter and human being.

Chad Kichula - Me This Time

In a harp-driven, foot-tapping ode to Steve Earle and classic Americana, singer/songwriter Chad Kichula releases one of the most upbeat tracks from his latest LP The Whale's Back with "Me This Time." The track is the perfect accompaniment to a beer after work and it stands to reason, because unlike so many hard-bitten crooners who sing about manual labor and strife, alt-country singer-songwriter Chad Kichula practices what he pens. By day, Kichula works full-time cutting and pruning trees as the owner of a forestry company. By night, he writes haunting, toe-tapping anthems in the vein of his heroes Springsteen and Steve Earle.

Kayleigh Goldsworthy 'Burrower' Album Out November 5th

Listening to rock classics during childhood sparked Kayleigh Goldsworthy's interest in music, and she picked up playing both the guitar and violin. Her hard work and raw talent translated into alternative infused efforts with The Scarlet Ending. The DIY attitude she developed and tight-knit scene she grew to cherish, are things that Goldsworthy still holds onto moving into her solo venture, "I really want to talk to as many people in as many facets of the industry, friends and otherwise, and use my unique sounds and songs to speak for themselves." Those conversations and her artistry are continually reaping in opportunities - some far beyond her wildest dreams. Goldsworthy was invited out on both the 2012 and 2013 Revival Tour; affording her the chance to share the stage with Chuck Ragan, Dave Hause, Dan Andriano, Tom Gabel, Cory Branan, Jenny Owen Youngs, Toh Kay and Rocky Votolato. She has also opened for revered artists Against Me!, The Mezingers, and Vinnie Caruana; and even accompanied Chuck Ragan during his acoustic session at the 2012 Vans Warped Tour on Long Island.

In-between playing to crowded rooms alongside some of her musical influences, she has been crafting a debut album that is sure to leave a lasting imprint on any ears it graces. Her time recording had her departing from her residency in New York City and dividing her time between Syracuse with her father, Jim Goldsworthy, and Huntington (NY) with Ryan Siegel (Glassjaw). She was able to snag the talents of Jay Weinberg (Against Me!, Madball) and Kiel Feher (Selena Gomez, Satellite) for drums, Jani Zubkovs (Sainthood Reps) and Aaron Garritillo (TSE) on bass, Brendon Thomas (The End of America, Foreverinmotion) playing mandolin and banjo, and Brian Byrne (Envy on the Coast) lending some ambient guitar work. Their musical workings were then turned over to Rick Parker (Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Good Old War, Lord Huron) for mixing and mastering. As the release of Burrower approaches and she continues to connect with the fans before her, the limits of Kayleigh Goldsworthy's musical evolution are endless.
