Happy Monday. We survived the Western Montana Fair, and enjoyed some nice performances from Seattle’s Miller Campbell and other local bands. This week we’re headed to Livingston to see our friends Redhead Express at Music Ranch Montana, as well as to Polson for the Women of the Blues salute at the Flathead Lake Blues Festival featuring LA Music Critic Award winner for Best Blues Band, Polly O’Keary and the Rhythm Method. Should be a great week.
INDIE NEWS
Seems like you can teach an old dog new tricks, at least in the case of veteran performer Frank Shiner. A recent convert to Spotify, Shiner’s music has been blowing up lately, with nearly 25,000 streams of his latest single “Drink You Away” in just the past two weeks. Shiner is averaging more than 22,000 streams a month. Check him out on Spotify.
Nashville’s Risa Binder is another indie artist who is blowing up on the charts. She recently reached #77 on the Music Row Chart with her current single “You Haul.” Check out the video for the song.
NEW MUSIC
Check out this new single, “Money on it” by together PANGEA, from their new album Bulls and Roosters which will be released on August 25 on Nettwerk Records. We think you’ll like it.

NEW MUSIC VIDEOS
We mentioned we were going to see Redhead Express this week. They have recently released a new music video as an entry into Ryan Seacrest’s “Best Cover Ever” contest. It is a cover of “I Got You” by pop artist Bebe Rexha, and we think you will love it.
Blue Élan artist Chelsea Williams has released a live studio video of her new single, “Anything Worth Saving,” from her recently released album Boomerang. Please let us know what you think.
Last but not least this week is the first Christian music video from Spokane native Chris Chilton, co-written and produced by another Spokane indie legend, Jerad Finck. Please check out the lyric video for “Adonai,” an amazing song of worship for today.
