This Tuesday on New Tracks on the Trail: • Memphis-based country-punk crew Lucero just dropped their 12th full-length since they debuted in 2000.

What started out as a hobby and a rekindling of musical ambitions became a nation-wide touring band with a stellar debut record. Philadelphia high school friends reunited in LA thanks to the ebbs and flows of adult life and discussed the possibility of starting a band…After finding multi-instrumentalist through rigorous search effort (Craigslist) they became […]
New Tracks – 5/22
The last time we remember an English rock band making a “left turn” was 20 years ago next month. The band was Radiohead, the album was OK Computer, and whether you’re a fan or not you have to agree the project – which won the Grammy Award for “Best Alternative Music Album” – anticipated a […]

As we gear up for this week’s River City Roots Fest 2018 line-up announcement, we can’t help but reflect on the unprecedented experiences of festivals past. A weekend of live music, art, activities – and food trucks – is one thing, but right smack in the middle of Missoula’s already glorious downtown during the warmest […]

This week on New Tracks On the Trail: • It seems Beck‘s newest release should be subtitled “The Album that Keeps on Giving.” That’s because despite already being six months old (it’s first single dropped waayyyy back in June of 2015) Colors is still getting massive radio airplay. And here we go again, as the […]

This week on New Tracks On the Trail: • You know David Byrne mostly as the frontman for ’80s new wave crew The Talking Heads, but he’s also made quite a hefty contribution to art culture in general with several books, movies and theatrical productions. We have to admit, however, we’re excited that this year […]

This week on New Tracks On the Trail: • One of our most anticipated concerts of the summer – and yours, too, by the speed in which it sold out – will be the Aug. 9 appearance by Nathaniel Rateliff & the Nightsweats at the KettleHouse Amphitheater. This will actually be the second time Rateliff […]

This week on New Tracks On the Trail: • We haven’t received a formal line-up announcement from the folks over at Silver Cloud Campout, but a little birdie tells us that Leftover Salmon will be among the headliners. OK, so it was pretty easy to figure out after the band listed it on their website’s […]
New Tracks – 2/27
This week on New Tracks On the Trail: • We’ll take a second look at four albums previously featured on a “New Tracks” past, starting with the new Mudslide Charley record, Words & Bones. We introduced the new album with the track “Southern Don’t Cross the Dog” last week; this week we’ll showcase another one […]

This week on New Tracks On the Trail: • How you define “iconic” we can’t pretend to know, but whatever litmus test you use we’re certain Mudslide Charley qualifies. Since 2004, in some variation or another, the group has been treating western Montana to a great blend of blues rock that sits right on the […]
