Susto (solo)
A season of drastic change is what brought SUSTO frontman Justin Osborne to the band’s fifth full-length LP, My Entire Life [New West Records]. There was a divorce, difficulties re-building his band after the pandemic, and the pain and helplessness of witnessing family members struggle with addiction and mental illness. Despite these challenges, Justin ultimately found himself in a new landscape, with new love and a deeper perspective, all of which is masterfully projected into My Entire Life. While navigating some major life changes, Justin understandably experienced a surge of creative energy. He channeled this into writing and recording with the people closest to him, even as the tides of his personal life continued to shift. Primary collaborators included longtime producer Wolfgang “Wolfy” Zimmerman, SUSTO Co-founders, Johnny Delaware and Marshall Hudson, and his fiancé/co-writer Caroline Foyle.
Candi Jenkins

Her project began after canceling her wedding on the day of the ceremony—a moment that inspired her cornerstone song “Wild Blue.” The experience sparked a new chapter of healing and courage to speak the truth. Blending classic country warmth with cinematic western imagery, Candi creates music that feels intimate, emotional, and deeply human. She has opened for Clay Street Unit and Jason Boland & The Stragglers, with upcoming performances supporting Son Little and Andy Frasco. Her voice is raw, her stories are real, and her art is rooted in the belief that transformation is always possible.

River Shook is an artist in constant evolution. After a decade spent making their mark oncountry music, River Shook is closing the door on their first project (Sarah Shook & the Disarmers) and entering an exciting new era, debuting as a solo artist.

River has delivered high-energy performances with the Disarmers at major festivals like SXSW, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, Under The Big Sky, Pilgrimage, and the Long Road in the UK. They’ve supported Willie Nelson, Tyler Childers, Lucero, and the Indigo Girls.

River’s “Talkin’ To Myself” was the theme song on the Apple TV+ show High Desert and two of their songs (“New Ways To Fail” and “Keep The Home Fires Burnin’”) were featured in the 2021 movie Lorelei, starring Pablo Schreiber and Jena Malone. River and the Disarmers will appear as themselves in the Kyle Gallner/Samara Weaving/Kyra Sedgwick upcoming film Carolina Caroline with several songs featured in the film as well. River will also appear as themself in an Ethan Hawke-directed/Rolling Stone-produced documentary about Merle Haggard alongside legends like Steve Earle, Phoebe Bridgers, and Willie Nelson, later this year. To promote the last Disarmers record Revelations, the New York Times ran a full artist profile on River Shook (the article appeared in print and online). Prior Disarmers releases garnered accolades from the likes of Rolling Stone, Billboard, Paste, PopMatters, No Depression, and the Wall Street Journal. The Disarmers’ sophomore album Years was named Best Rock Album of 2018 by the Chicago Tribune. When they’re not writing for their debut solo album, River is back on the road backed by a full band of heavy hitters, a growing collection of never-before-heard songs, and a sterling reputation for raw, emotionally charged performances. River continues to captivate audiences and connect with new fans with an unmistakable sound that appeals to a wide-spectrum of music fans: classic country purists, indie rockers, pop lovers, and beyond. Their handpicked band is stacked with badass talent and musical prowess, from the hypnotic drums to the ripping lead guitar, from the soul-grounding bass to the heart-soaring pedal steel.
