Bob Summer (CAN) @ 15u30
(Country)
If an imaginary space exists somewhere between Austin, Bakersfield, and his hometown of Vancouver, Bob Sumner found it with his sophomore record, Some Place To Rest Easy. Sumner’s refusal to copy and paste from the greats of the past informs his every musical step. “All of my heroes, all the people that did it so well—whether it be George Jones or Willie, Waylon, whoever—they weren't these museum pieces,” he explains. “They were always creating something new, something different.” This approach to taking old tried and true recipes and moving forward with them paid dividends with Sumner’s debut record Wasted Love Songs. “First class Americana,” said No Depression. “Pure gold,” opined the Georgia Straight. “Has the heft and heart of an instant classic,” declared Broadway World. Audiences across North America agreed when Sumner lit out and provided opening duties for the likes of Colter Wall, Willie Watson, Kelsey Waldon, Corb Lund, and J.P. Harris. In Texas, while on a support tour he was invited onstage by new friend and admirer Hayes Carll, and at a showcase in Nashville, Sumner planted his flag at the world famous Bluebird Cafe—fulfilling a lifelong dream in the process. Of Some Place To Rest Easy, friend and label mate Jeffrey Martin states “Bob Sumner writes a hell of a song and this album is a love letter to a country sound we don’t hear anymore. Lots of people are going to feel like someone out there understands them when they hear this record. Lots of couples will slow dance in the kitchen. Singles will slow dance with their dogs. Dudes will get teary in the truck on the way home from work”. Some Place To Rest Easy OUT NOW via Fluff & Gravy Records (Worldwide) and The North Country Collective (Canada).

Joe's Truck Stop (USA) @ 15u30
(Folk/Bluegrass/Country)
From a ridge in the Ohio River Valley, on a front porch where Kentucky’s visible through the winter’s bare trees, Joe Truck Stop conspires over a smoking blend of Bluegrass, Honky Tonk, Western Swing, and whatever else finds itself inhaled and manifested by way of a wood box and steel wire...Years of digesting so much of the Country Blues lexicon and traveling the country learning the numerous styles of fiddlers, writers, and travelers alike has led to the original music that comes by way of Joe’s Truck Stop.
The songs are stories of living on the road, love, temptation, heartbreak, family, banjo pickin' tobacco spittin' women, gas station sushi, and much more...
