If you are looking for new music, we have created a list of established artists you might know and new artists you may want to explore.
1Drake White
Country-Soul troubadour Drake White delivers moving new track “Life, Love and War,” sharing the hand-me-down wisdom of a country life – at the very moment it all changes… with parenthood. “My wife and I battled infertility for seven years,” White explains. “When I finally became a father, I was overcome with joy, but I also had fear. Was I enough? Would I be gone too much as a musician? Would I be able to catch his fastball with my left hand? Would I be able to father him as well as my amazing father did for me? So I wrote. I wrote him a letter. I wrote him this song. To all the men out there with their heels in the mud doing the best job they can, happy Father’s Day!”

Written by Strait along with Monty Criswell and Bubba Strait, and produced by Strait with Chuck Ainlay and Tony Brown, “The Little Things” finds the Texas native reflecting on the often overlooked moments in a busy, hectic life and finding happiness in the little things whether it is a kiss on the dance floor, homemade ice cream, a phone call with mom or a baby that needs to be rocked to sleep.

3Oliver Anthony
Singer-songwriter Oliver Anthony Music’s new song “Cowboys and Sunsets” serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of destigmatizing mental health struggles among men and fostering a culture of openness and support. Released last week at the beginning of Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month and available today on all digital streaming platforms, the song’s primitive creekside performance video has already remarkably garnered 11 million views.

4Sam Varga
Alternative singer-songwriter, Sam Varga is thrilled to release his new album Shadow Work that is out now. Varga will perform at Cannery Hall on June 22.
Sam says, “It’s all too cliche how analogous the sound of this album is to my last 6 years of life. I had no idea what to do with such seemingly drastic pieces of myself, and how to fit them together into a whole person that I actually liked. Similarly, I’ve been bouncing off the sonic ropes of folk, punk, country, and singer-songwriter for the better part of a decade. All that finally took shape on “Shadow Work”. There it is: folk, punk, country, all present in the same songs. And simultaneously, I’m living in much better harmony with the parts of myself that just a year ago seemed irreconcilable with each other.”
