ELIOT BRONSON
Award-winning singer/songwriter Eliot Bronson's latest self-titled album was tracked entirely analog in Nashville by acclaimed producer Dave Cobb (Sturgill Simpson, Rival Sons, Jason Isbell, Nikki Lane). It's a vibey, ten-song album with an uncluttered production aesthetic that highlights Bronson's songwriting and his achingly beautiful vocals.
Eliot Bronson is anchored by Bronson's honeyed weary voice; blend of wry wit with emotional sincerity; expansive palette of Americana; and the album's crisp vintage production. "River Runs Dry" boasts high-lonesome vocal harmonies, tenderly mournful lap steel, and it conjures up a cathartic sadness. "I like songs to preserve little moments without telling a specific story, so you feel something but you don't always know exactly why," Bronson reveals. The rollicking "Comin' For Ya North Georgia Blues" combines almost William Boroughs-esque cutup images with unbridled and euphoric shitkicking musicality. "I was really having fun with words and ideas on that one, trying to paint picture of a relationship" he explains.
Bronson's engaging cleverness comes to the front on the "You Wouldn't Want Me If You Had Me." "I didn't think I was being funny on that one," he says with a good-natured laugh. "I was being truthful, but I guess it works on a humorous level too. My friend said that title is the 'dating musician's credo.'"
Previously Eliot Bronson issued two critically acclaimed solo albums and, prior to his solo career, was a member of folk favs The Brilliant Inventions. The Atlanta Music Guide says: "Eliot Bronson is the type of songwriter who could squeeze out something meaningful about taking out the trash. He writes heartfelt songs with dark humor and backs them with his resonant voice and swampy instruments." Georgia Music Magazine notes: "He can pull at your heartstrings like nobody's business." Coming up, in his native town of Baltimore, Maryland The Baltimore Sun called him a "a folk singing wunderkind." He has won such esteemed songwriting awards as first place at Chris Austin Songwriting Contest at MerleFest and Eddie Owen Presents "Songwriter Shootout," and he's been a finalist at Kerrville Folk Festival, Rocky Mountain Folks Fest Songwriting Contest, and New Song Contest Lincoln Center NYC.

Matthew Mayfield is an unpredictable artist who has spent the past decade releasing material ranging from haunting acoustic ballads to gritty, southern rock and roll. His latest LP, RECOIL, is a sonic and lyrical departure from his previous release, Wild Eyes. Wild Eyes was a collection of songs created over time that reflected different periods in Matthew's life. RECOIL, by contrast, was born quickly and violently, the fruit of an intense effort by Mayfield to depict the good, the bad, and the ugly in the present world he inhabits. If Wild Eyes was delicately chiseled into being, RECOIL was hewed into existence with hammers and claws. According to Mayfield, "making RECOIL was extremely hard—I had to drag the songs out of me and stick with them until they said exactly what I needed them to say."
