Record Label: Self-releasedAt long last the singer-songwriter behind Baltimore’s Fractal Cat has released his first solo EP. Of a piece with Jones’s other acid and funk rock, the artist gets down and dirty on “Run to Me,” which sounds like it could be the love child of latter-era Beach Boys, Nirvana and perhaps Duran Duran. The troubadour then switches gears entirely for a country-fried love song, “You’ve Been on My Mind,” that would make John Denver proud (it’s even got a killer banjo line!).

Tags: Mission Impossible, Simon Pegg, Tom CruiseI need you to trust me. One last time.

Record Label: Alligator RecordsLet’s face it, we could all use more soulful songs in our lives. This Memphis group turns up the blues and roots sounds in their latest disc. “Long Is the Road” kicks things off in fine fashion, with some killer guitar riffs underlining some truly great harmonies. “Upside” keeps the party moving along, and “Found a Friend in You” is gospel-influenced joy, which is befitting considering the “friend” in question may be out of this world.

“This is a labor of love,” Executive Director Dalton Okolo said Wednesday evening at the opening night festivities of the 2025 Fredericksburg Film Festival. “But there’s also film lovers, people who just want to sit in a dark room and have an experience.”Wednesday evening’s program started off with a round of short films, including “George” from Alex Craig and Aaron Craig, featuring Adrian Martinez (“Severance”) as a rather jolly crematorium worker.

June 13, 2013, I caught #kriskristofferson at the @TheMusicHall and met him at the stage door, thanking him for what he told @ethanhawke about "Sunday Mornin' Coming Down" and Johnny Cash saying "stoned" on TV. "That was Johnny, man," he told me. Thank U #Highwayman. https://t.co/P24HkNAgOW
