A sonically bombastic retro soul banger inspired by the Black Puma’s, Baby Huey, Alabama Shakes, and a little Rage Against the Machine, “No One Else” from their upcoming new release Broken Souvenirs is anchored by infectious rhythm, layered with atmospheric keyboards, and backed by an explosive horn section.

At its core, the song is a rejection letter, repelling the advances of the liars and conmen who seek to control us. The lyrics are steeped in the frustration of someone who has been ripped off, taken advantage of, used, and left for dead.

The official video for the single was choreographed and directed by Chelsea Preston and filmed by Badee Mirkham. This provocative, visually stunning piece uses fire to represent the evils of our current political and cultural landscape and paper masks to represent how fragile and easily manipulated we all can be if we don’t keep our minds about us.

Broken Souvenirs features a captivating mix of 11 original songs that showcases Bywater Call’s versatility, musicality, and experimentation. It reaches beyond the boundaries of genre and further develops their own unique voice. With influences from Black Pumas, Alabama Shakes, Amy Winehouse, Shakey Graves, Black Crowes and more, the album takes a journey from feelgood retro soul, intimate acoustic, to driving contemporary R&B and back again.

What an honor and so well deserved! Intrepid has worked with Kenny for the most part since 1997 and could not be more proud. Kenny is one of the finest musicians on the planet and the consummate Blues Artist.

He has traveled the globe and has been a force in the Blues World for the past 50 years having worked for such greats as Buddy Guy, Slim Harpo and his dad, Raful Neal, before going out on his own back in the late 80’s. Now it is his turn to take his rightful place and be with all the other greats in the Blues Hall of Fame. His accolades are too many to list, but you may check them out along with his history at https://share.google/aQHc5aNO5jKzu5KZj.

Kenny and his stellar band of Brothers will be touring Europe in October from the 1st thru the 17th. There are a few dates that are still available between the 7th and the 16th. He also has scattered avails in the US throughout the end of the year. Give us a call if you would like to have this legend play your venue or event.

Everyone at Intrepid Artists Int’l is Heartbroken over the News of Jeff Taylor’s (JT) passing! He was a larger than life human being and performer. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, his wife Kristen and all of his bandmates and fans. Rest in Peace JT.

Since first forming The Nick Moss Band featuring Dennis Gruenling in 2016, master blues guitarist Nick Moss and world-class harmonica virtuoso Dennis Gruenling have become torchbearers for traditional electric blues. But rather than simply repeating what’s come before, the band’s high-energy take on old school Chicago, Texas and West Coast sounds is completely their own. With their new Alligator Records release (their third for the label), Get Your Back Into It!, Chicago native Moss and New Jersey native Gruenling—together with Rodrigo Mantovani on bass, and Pierce Downer on drums—deliver a deeply rooted, timeless blue collar blues album.

Andy Thomas has worked his way up the ranks as an electrifying guitarist across the United States and abroad, whether it’s fronting his own wild-n-out project The Trongone Band or being the six-string rocket fuel for the melodic muscle car that is acclaimed Americana act Yarn.

“It’s crazy when you set everything aside and put your mind to something,” Thomas says. “I’m a hard worker, and this album is a product of that.”

There’s a heaviness when you listen to Andy Thomas’ debut album, Highway Junkie. Not only from the swamp rock meets honkytonk melodies, but also the underlying themes and hard truths of this whirlwind journey of a singer-songwriter breaking into the next chapter of his promising career. Produced by fellow Virginia native and longtime friend Dave Schools, the legendary bassist for Widespread Panic, and captured at the renowned Spacebomb Studios, Thomas’ debut album, “Highway Junkie,” connects the dots of Thomas’ troubled past and hard-fought strength of self in the present—this juncture of fiery southern rock & roll and high-octane country blues.

“You just need to count the wins and be grateful,” Thomas says. “And this album is a token of gratitude—this is why I’m doing everything I’m doing.”
