Teddy & The Rough Riders
Two Nashville natives lead this band , playing what is aptly described as countryflavored bluegrass rock n ’ roll ... want more ? Honky Tonk , Cosmic Country , and Roots Rock - all six descriptive terms are correct .
Think Ozark Mountain Daredevils with hints of Grateful Dead and Hot Tuna - you can hear it on " Catfish Summer " and " Fast Livin ," the first two songs from their excellent second album , Down Home - both heard on The Bear .
Jack Quiggins and Ryan Jennings are the real deal - make Down Home your new Americana North Star .

Fruition - How To Make Mistakes
Just listen to the music this Portland , Oregon band makes and you know they are a family - and that ' s true - because they have spent the last 15 years together .
It all began when guitarist John Cobb Anderson saw multi-instrumentalist Mimi Naja at an open mic night . Their discussions - and constant sidewalk busking over the next few months led to the formation of a collective that focuses on folk , gospel , and blues - the perfect definition of Americana .
Joining with three other incredibly talented members , Fruition tours relentlessly , spreading their family ties to everyone they meet and play for . The latest disc makes you relax , get away from the stress of the day to day , and marvel at their ability to float free . Far from today ' s overproduced country , this is real - five people sitting in a room that love making music .
Listen to " Scars " on the Bear , and find How To Make Mistakes on all streaming services .
