TRAILWAYS (Nov. 2025), by Bill Mallonee 11 track album

Shout out today for one of last year's best records that you may not have heard (for all the algorithmic, capitalism reasons). @billmallonee is a national treasure, and Trailways is a storytelling gem.

Hey y'all! Imma put this event and album release on full blast (as the kids say)
Shared the stage many times with @midwesternmrs and dammit, she's the real deal and a genuinely good human being. Thank God for music! And cheers to Dayton f#&%ing OHIO!

10 years ago, in an attempt to break a bad bout of writers block, I committed to writing a song a day for five days. I went into a closet in my house with my guitar, one mic, and this was the result. On April 24th, to celebrate it will finally be available on all streaming platforms!

"Minneapolis" is now available on Spotify.

Behind the Music FIERCER Words and Stories

This year I released FIERCER into the world - an album that started in 2024 in the corner of a pub in Oban, Scotland. I did a deep dive into it for those who still like an old school liner notes album experience because I think the songs deserved it.

Fair Skies, by Jess Jones 11 track album

I've had the joy of sharing the stage with Jess Jones many times over the past five or so years. He's the kind of writer I am drawn to - the phrasing, the craft, the americana surrealism, drawing from the whole rich tradition of everyone from Townes to Jay, its deeply satisfying songwriting
