SUMMARY:Leon Majcen
DESCRIPTION:A modern-day folksinger rooted in the classic tradition of Townes Van Zandt and John Prine\, Leon Majcen got started early. He was still a teenager when Love and Misery became a hit on SiriusXM’s The Coffee House channel\, introducing a nationwide audience to his unique spin on American roots music. What followed was a decade of traveling\, performing\, and chasing down new horizons — often with an acoustic guitar in his hands and a fly rod in the trunk. \nMaking A Livin’ (Not a Killin’) marks Leon’s fourth album in five years. Inspired by the tours that have taken him far beyond his adopted home of Nashville\, it’s the sound of a road warrior who’s grown all too familiar with the highs\, lows\, and heartbreaks that pave the long road out of town. He writes poignantly about a life spent on the move\, bouncing between solo songs and full-band performances. For a songwriter who first hit the road as an infant — back when his Bosnian refugee parents moved the family to Florida\, determined to find a better life for their children — Making A Livin’ (Not a Killin’) is Leon’s most honest album to date\, fueled equally by melody and momentum. \n  \n“The road is calling; don’t leave the light on\,” he sings during the first track\, delivering the line to all the people and places he’s left behind in the rearview mirror. Making A Livin’ (Not a Killin’) often revisits that theme of departure\, from tracks like “Down the Road” — a laid-back\, loping tribute to skipping town\, punctuated by fiddle solos and a deep\, countrified groove — to the darkly humorous “Sleeping in a Car Is Fun Until You Gotta Pee.” Both of those songs are driven forward by Leon’s acoustic guitar\, a nod to his longtime roots as a disciple of Guy Clark and Bob Dylan. That doesn’t stop him from getting loud with “Walking Down the Street\,” a bluesy rocker packed with amplification and attitude. That’s uncharted territory for Leon\, and it’s proof that even the most seasoned travelers deserve to explore new places once in a while. \n“I’ve always occupied the folky side of country music\, or the country side of folk\,” he says\, nodding to previous releases like 2020’s Back ’Til I’m Gone\, 2024’s self-titled Leon Majcen\, and 2025’s Better Days. “For years\, I’ve felt most at home when it’s just me and my acoustic guitar. But this record is a pivot. It’s a bigger sound with more layers\, more intent\, and a real producer. It just feels right.” \nThe producer he’s referencing is multi-instrumentalist Pat Lyons. Celebrated for his work with Americana mainstays like Colter Wall\, Lyons became a mentor to Leon during his first year in Nashville\, back when he was struggling to balance his songwriting career with a long series of day jobs. Leon worked in offices. He worked outside\, using his hands. Eventually\, with Pat’s encouragement\, he embraced the troubadour lifestyle\, dedicating himself to the stage\, the road\, and the writing room. Working with a small rhythm section\, the two collaborators recorded Making A Livin’ (Not a Killin’) during a pair of whirlwind days\, leaning heavily on live performances and Leon’s strength as a stage performer. They also teamed up with Riley Downing (of The Deslondes) for “Tallahassee\,” a duet steeped in the influence of New Orleans. The result is an album about tour stops\, roadside revelations\, and the lessons learned at 75 miles per hour. \nThere are more shows on the horizon. More songs to write. More fishing holes to track down. Leon is part of the Cloverdale family now — a record label and musical collective overseen by Evan Honer\, another Gen Z songwriter who uses folk music as a launchpad for a more expansive sound. And if the road truly goes on forever\, then he’s ready to run it down. This is how Leon makes a living\, and right now\, life is good.

SUMMARY:Shearling
DESCRIPTION:Serving as a spiritual continuation of the now-defunct Sprain\, Shearling exhibits the reunion of a now decade-old collaborative force between guitarists Alexander Kent and Sylvie Simmons. A subsequent recruiting of percussionist Andrew Chanover\, bassist Wesley Nelson\, and keyboardist Elizabeth Carver filled out their orchestrally-minded roster. The band was mostly quiet for its first year of existence\, avoiding live performances to instead focus on their brazen debut ‘Motherfucker\, I am Both: “Amen” and “Hallelujah”…’ \nThe record retains Sprain’s characteristic commitment to intensity\, further mutated through a newfound lens of collagist approach. Featuring only a single\, hour-plus long song\, Motherfucker is a demanding exhibition of uncompromising ethos. Shearling’s aggressive live performances and meticulous recordings demonstrate an ambition\, audacity\, and emotional vulnerability that few contemporary bands can parallel.

SUMMARY:James Joyce Centre Walking Tours

SUMMARY:Chat Pile
DESCRIPTION:Like the towering mounds of toxic waste from which it gets its namesake\, the music of Oklahoma City noise rock quartet Chat Pile is a suffocating\, grotesque embodiment of the existential anguish that has defined the 21st Century. It figures that a band with this abrasive\, unrelenting\, and outlandish of a sound has struck as strong of a chord as it has. Dread has replaced the American dream\, and Chat Pile’s music is a poignant reminder of that shift – a portrait of an American rock band molded by a society defined by its cold and cruel power systems. \nBesides being the name of a largely forgotten (and panned) 90s film\, Cool World makes for an apt title of Chat Pile’s sophomore full-length record. In the context of a Chat Pile record\, the words are steeped in a grim double entendre that not only evokes imagery of a dying planet but a progression from the band’s previous work\, moving the scope of its depiction of modern malaise from just “God’s country” to the entirety of humankind. “Cool World covers similar themes to our last album\, except now exploded from a micro to macro scale\, with thoughts specifically about disasters abroad\, at home\, and how they affect one another\,” says vocalist Raygun Busch. \nThough very much on-brand with Chat Pile’s signature flavor of cacophonous\, sludgy noise rock\, the band’s shift to a global thematic focus on Cool World not only compliments the broader experimentations it employs with their songwriting\, but also how they dissect the album’s core theme of violence. Melded into the band’s twisted foundational sound are traces of other eclectic genre stylings\, with examples of gazy\, goth-tinged dirges to abrasive yet anthemic alt/indie-esque hooks and off-kilter metal grooves only scratching the surface of what can be heard in the album’s ten tracks.
