The Dollyrots
“Night Owl”

Stevie Van Zandt’s Wicked Cool Records will release the lo-fi noisy pop-punk sound of The Dollyrots on their new Night Owls album. It’s not due until October 13 but we have the new song on video here and now.

 

Stephane Wrembel
“Tiger Rag”

Performed at The Woodland in French violinist Stephane Wrembel’s home town of Maplewood in Essex County, “Tiger Rag”—first performed in 1918 by The Original Dixieland Jazz Band—is a sprightly affair, a moving and kinetic gem, from his album Django New Orleans.
