Simona Smirnova is a Lithuanian born jazz vocalist, composer and kankl?s player based in New York City. She’s a fixture in the New York live scene with her quartet when she’s not touring the world, including Australia, New Zealand and Europe.

Smirnova’s genre-bending style has a unique theatrical flavor and uncanny vocal improvisation techniques. She deftly implements chamber music, Lithuanian zither – kankl?s and folkloric chants into foundations of jazz and rock.

Smirnova’s latest album, Joan of Arc, for String Quartet, is an original composition written as a soundtrack for the classic Carl Dreyer silent film The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928). The album is a cinematic landscape of chamber pop, jazz and folklore. 

Classically trained on Lithuanian zither – kankl?s, Smirnova earned her BA in jazz vocals at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theater. Shortly after receiving the European Touring Scholarship, she moved to the United States to study at Berklee College of Music where she earned a degree in Contemporary Composition and Production.

Lonesome Highway has high praise for Stuff Happens, the new album from Stuffy Shmitt, calling it “a treasure chest of honest and hard-hitting songs”

Stuffy Schmitt Stuff Happens Baby Robot Media lonesome highway review americana rock roll folk singer songwriter

A survivor, by the skin of his teeth, of decades at the bumpy end of the music business, STUFF HAPPENS is Stuffy Shmitt’s first album in eight years. Living in New York, at the end of his tether, battling bipolar disorder and on a self-destructive path, he made the crucial decision to finally ditch his deadly lifestyle in the West Village and attempt to rebuild his life. Moving to Nashville and getting himself correctly medicated set him on a path towards normality and regained sanity. 

With a clear head and decades of demons to exorcise, the resulting album is a treasure chest of honest and hard-hitting songs. Writing from personal experiences and observations Mommy And Daddy recalls his parents, once wild, carefree and unpredictable, now aged and weakening. The raunchy opener It’s OK speaks openly of a close friend, a walking car wreck who’s constantly messing up, despite the many helping hands offered to her. His vocals never sounded better than on the belter She’s Come Unglued. It boasts an addictive and killer riff and tells the story of a partner heading for a breakdown and  a crumbling relationship.  The striking piano led ballad The Last Song grieves a failed love affair and Sleeping On The Wet Spot is a self-deprecating yarn of recurring catastrophe, a possible recap on the writer’s often ill-fated life choices. 

An unusual yet exceptional combination of soothing ballads and hardcore rockers, STUFF HAPPENS plays out like a few genres melting together, by an artist with a hyperactive brain and on this occasion, firing on all cylinders.

Jon LaDeau’s “Younger Days” is a nostalgic, feel-good blue-eyed soul groove anchored by the impressive Daptone / Antibalas hybrid rhythm section of drummer Sam Merrick (Charles Bradley, Sharon Jones) and bassist Justin Kimmel (Antibalas, Toubab Krewe). The tune is a perfect showcase for LaDeau’s breezy sound, bell-clear vocals and soulful guitar work. And the video is a nostalgic, intimate look back at LaDeau’s music beginnings, culled entirely from childhood home movies.

A guitarist, songwriter and singer based in Brooklyn, N.Y., over the past 12 years, LaDeau has toured internationally in support of four solo albums, shared festival bills with Jeff Tweedy, Emmylou Harris, Sturgill Simpson, and Commander Cody and has toured nationally as a sideman with Kelli Scarr, April Smith and The Great Picture Show, and others. Since 2014 Jon has also found a home as a member of The National Reserve. Voted Pennsylvania’s #1 New York Band in 2019, The National Reserve has had the good grace to perform regularly by growing a devoted fan base and sharing the stage with artists like Tedeschi Trucks Band, John Moreland, Brent Cobb, Amy Helm, Margo Price, Daddy Long Legs and many others.

Vents Magazine debuts new single + video from Guitarmy of One, “Perry Mason Exoneration,” complete with a Q&A…

Punk roots thrasher Scott Helland (Deep Wound, Outpatients), is gearing up to release his new spy-themed, surf/noir LP, The Spy Detective Collective (due out March 26). Helland’s prolific songwriting has yielded him over 30 records since the ‘80s, ever since that fateful flyer fell into the hands of lo-fi heroes, J Mascis and Lou Barlow. No stranger to DIY venues and seedy  dive-bars, Helland once had a gun pulled on him and his brother Vis, who went to settle up with the owner at the venerable punk rock club Electric Banana in Pittsburgh, ca. 1984. At the time, he was in Outpatients, opening up for Battalion of Saints. The hard-luck dues paid off later for Helland, who has since opened for many great rock bands, including Hüsker Dü, Black Flag w/ Henry Rollins, Cro-Mags, COC, 7 Seconds and more.
