Stephen Foster & Howler

"When You Love Sombody"

Released by Thoroughbred Music UK. "SFHowler-WhenYouLoveSomebody" was written about my wife Trish, who I met on Beale Street in Memphis in 1987. She just walked up to me and asked what I was doing (handing out handbills after a gig at the New Daisy Theater) I was stunned. All my adult life searching, looking into crowds, and here she was, smiling at me. I pursued her and we were married 3 months later. 33 years together now, still makes my heart race.

SF & Howler is known for their hits "Mad As Hell", "Medicine Man", "Mango Tree", "Mama's Goin' Dancin' When The Train Comes Home" and "Cathead Blues" among others.

Based out of Muscle Shoals, Sweet Home, Alabama, the 4-piece group tours festival and concert stages.

Jeff Carlson Band "FIRE"

GENRE: MELODIC HARD ROCK

The Jeff Carlson Band had free time on their hands when Covid hit, so they turned an EP into a full album "Yesterday's Gone" during the 2020 lockdown. A Las Vegas touring act, they're self-contained and went at the recordings as a band.

Carlson says “Fire was a labor of love that I wrote lyrically about my wife and we really worked hard to make the music heavy with a groove to it. We worked it up with three or four different structures, but in the end we really liked the way the final version came out.”
