Memphis music stalwart William Luke White’s 20 year career has taken him from Memphis to Nashville, from Boston to New York, crisscrossing the United States and Europe in support of countless albums and in the company of countless revered musicians.
The proud alum of dozens of bands (Spiral Stairs, Colour Revolt, Snowglobe, The Coach And Four, James and the Ultrasounds, Clay Otis, Sons of Mudboy), White offers his latest album in response to a personal tragedy that has left him unable to tour. While spending a summer home in Memphis after an exhausting Spiral Stairs tour, White endured a massive seizure, the result of an astrocytoma brain tumor. Following surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, White continues his musical journey with this eponymous solo debut EP in the face of recovery, loss, and a global pandemic. William Luke White's debut solo EP is out October 2nd.

Nine Mile Records is thrilled to announce the release of David Wax Museum's new full-length record Line of Light on August 23.
Line of Light was produced by Carl Broemel of My Morning jacket, and marks the band's return for their first full-length album in four years. It finds the duo tackling subjects both political and personal in a way they haven't explored in the studio before. With Broemel taking the band's folk-pop underpinnings and outfitting them with serious sonic force, the songs push deeper into themes of interconnectedness, spiritual longing, and deep personal reflection. Being artists from Charlottesville, VA, where they raise their two children, they found themselves responding to the political milieu we all find ourselves in at this moment. While not necessarily sunny, the collection shares a firm optimism in the human condition: there's light beyond the darkness. Line of Light shows David, Suz, and their collected accompanists on a sonic evolution - making music that rewards repeated listens. You can preview and order Line of Light here. 
Amy LaVere releases her fifth album, Painting Blue, out August 16th.
There’s something uniquely fun about Amy LaVere, even when she’s breaking your heart. She is well known among songwriters and critics alike. NPR’s Robert Siegel says she “specializes in lyrics that are more barbed than her sweet soprano prepares you for.” Her growing catalogue of material and steady critical acclaim suggest a first-tier presence on the Americana and indie-folk/punk circuits. Painting Blue, produced by her husband Will Sexton, captures perfectly the moment that Amy is in. Will Sexton’s masterful production and Amy’s soft, clarinet-like vocal pour over you, pushing and pulling, stirring and calming. As we’ve come to expect, this record is honest, revealing and sounds uniquely like no one else. TOUR DATES: Tickets at AmyLaVere.com July 31 San Antonio TX Sam's Burger Joint Aug 1 Buda TX Tavern On Main Aug 2 Austin, TX Cactus Cafe Aug 3 Houston TX Mucky Duck Aug 4 Ft Worth TX Cafe Momentum Aug 8 Oxford MS Proud Larrys Aug 9 Nashville TN The Basement Aug 10 Memphis TN Crosstown Theater Aug 11 New Orleans LA Cafe Istanbul Aug 15 Denton TX Dan's Silverleaf Aug 16 OKC The Blue Door Aug 17 Kansas City MO Knuckleheads Aug 18 Des Moines IA Vaudeville Mews Aug 20 Minneapolis MN 7th Street Entry Aug 21 Milwaukee WI Cooperage Aug 22 Chicago IL The Hideout Aug 24 Grand Rapids MI Tip Top Deluxe Aug 27 Akron OH The Rialto Theater Aug 28 Rochester NY Abilene's Aug 29 NYC Rockwood Music Hall Aug 30 Wash DC Hill Country BBQ Aug 31 Philadelphia PA Boot and Saddle Sept 6 Chapel Hill NC Local 506 Sept 7 Knoxville TN Barley's Taproom Sept 8 Atlanta GA Eddie's Attic Sept 12 Nashville TN Americana Music Fest Sept 11 Little Rock AR The White Water Sept 21 Richardson TX Six Springs Sept 27 Los Angeles CA McCabe's Guitar Shop Oct 1 Bend OR Volcanic Theater Pub Oct 3 Seattle WA Hotel Albatross 
Spiral Stairs (Pavement's Scott Kannberg) releases his third album under that name, We Wanna Be Hyp-No-Tized, out NOW on the Nine Mile Records label and on Coolin' By Sound in Australia / New Zealand.
Consequence of Sound says the "rip-roaring first single "Hyp-No-Tized" embodies feel good vibes with some bouncy brass and slick riffs" and Stereogum calls "Hyp-No-Tized" a rampaging rocker backed by agitated horns and a gang chorus; the music is a refreshing change of pace for Spiral Stairs.

We're excited to announce that 'Catpaws' by A. Sinclair comes out on February 1st.

Glorietta is the brainchild of Matthew Logan Vasquez of Delta Spirit. He wrangled several songwriter friends (Noah Gundersen, David Ramirez, Kelsey Wilson of Wild Child, Jason Robert Blum, Nathaniel Rateliff, and Adrian Quesada) to a remote location in New Mexico for nine days of recording. Everyone brought songs. Everyone drank tequila. Everyone soaked in the hot tub. Songs + Tequila + Hot Tub = their debut record out now!
