Becca Stevens

Ahead of the upcoming International Women’s Day on Sunday, we dedicate this entire show to more or less recent female performers. We begin with the new country record for Aubrie Sellers who pleasantly surprised us with strong songs and loud guitars, breathing new life into a genre we thought was over. Habibi over in Brooklyn, but originally heading from Detroit are an all female line up fronted by Lenaya Lynch and Rahill Jamalifard. Also in Detroit, Detroit Cobras are back with a recent new single. On the singer-songwriting scene, we have brand new singles for Nicole Atkins, Becca Stevens, Ada Lea and Gemma Ray. The Exbats is a father and daughter duet, lead by the young Inez McClain.

Useless EatersWe start off today with a tribute to Husker Du. Two Canadian bands, Red Arms and Wasted Potential put their resources together and made a coll tribute to Husker Du. The whole thing is on their bandcamp account, available for a free download. Another free download that you might want to consider is by The Babies – a really cool band from Zagreb who had a wonderful vinyl LP 10 years ago and now, the band offers it officially in a digital format. The Babies are long time defunct, but some of their members how play as Thee Melomen. They also have a cool cover of Husker Du! We also have new tunes by Built Do Spill from Boise ID and Warm Soda from Austin TX. We also have a nice block from Danny Kroha (ex Gories), with music from his new album and recent performances live in Cleveland.
