The Bluegrass Situation debuts new single from Gwen Levey and The Breakdown, “Barefoot and Pregnant,” an anthemic women’s rights hoedown.

Artist: Gwen Levey and the Breakdown
Hometown: Nashville, Tennessee
Song: “Barefoot and Pregnant”
Album: Not the Girl Next Door EP
Release Date: November 3, 2023

In Their Words: “RIP Roe V Wade. That was such a dark day. It’s a very personal issue for me and most women. I was a child who was sexually assaulted. So, everything that’s been happening hit me really hard, especially here in Tennessee, which has the strictest abortion ban. That, even if you’re a child, you can’t get help for anything like that. The song has a serious social commentary, but I wanted it to still be fun so it’s more accessible. You have to be brave to sing that in the south.

The Bluegrass Situation debuts “Old Wooden Floor,” the third and final new single from Matthew Check’s upcoming album, Without a Throne (out September 30).

In Their Words: “Just the other week on August 17, 2022, I celebrated eight years of sobriety and ‘Old Wooden Floor’ is the first song I’ve ever written exclusively about my life as a drinker before I got sober. Unlike some of my songs where I take liberties with things that have happened to me, or where I might obscure certain details with esoterics, the story in ‘Old Wooden Floor’ is basically an autobiographical recounting of what my daily life was like in the final months of my drinking.”

The Bluegrass Situation shares the title track from Whitney Lockert’s sophomore album, “Long Way to California” (out 7/15)

In Their Words: “‘Long Way to California’ was written at a time when I was indeed far from California, and also felt a bit stuck; in fact at the time, I was literally stuck at home with a stranger I didn’t particularly like, a friend of one of my roommates who was staying there while my roommate was on tour. It was written as more of an imagined escape than anything else; little did I know that it would foreshadow moving back to California with someone I love a few years later. Ultimately it’s a song about California and the West as a place of openness and the possibility of a better life, the promise it might have held to my grandparents when they moved there from Ohio in the ‘40s. For me it took living on the East Coast for several years to really understand and see California that way.” — Whitney Lockert

Even more than that, Filipiak explains, “Conesus Lake” represents a state of mind—that place you go when you need to be introspective, put things behind you and start over again.
