We’re proud to be sponsoring tonight’s Jeremiah Nelson’s album release show at the Frequency in Madison. Drugs To Make You Sober comes with our highest recommendation and includes “Skin To Touch,” which isn’t only my favorite song Jeremiah’s ever done, but one of my all-time favorite songs. Download it below.

Tonight’s bill is jam-packed with greatness including sets from Cedarwell, Surgeons In Heat and Oedipus Tex. Music starts at 9:30 and $8 gets you in the door.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Muzzle of Bees showcase last night at the High Noon Saloon. What a wonderful kick off to the Forward Music Festival. I was thrilled to see Cedarwell and All Tiny Creatures live for the first time, and, as many of you can attest, they were brilliant. Milwaukee’s Juniper Tar continues to grown into one of the tightest sounding live bands with harmonies so sweet it’s becoming unbearable waiting for their forthcoming EP.

What can I say about the mighty Megafaun that hasn’t been said everywhere else already? Hearing all the beautiful new material from Gather, Form & Fly cements its positioning as one of our favorites albums of the year.
