Charley Crockett | Lonesome Drifter
While we’ve repeatedly listened to Lonesome Drifter since its debut, Charley Crockett has been listening to the comment section. The 2017 hit “Jamestown Ferry” has been re-released and added to the tracklist, just another treat from the now Grammy nominee! Catch a live version of Jamestown Ferry and other classics on Charley’s US tour. See you there?
Ian Flanigan | The Man Mama Raised
Keeping it country—fresh out of Nashville, TN, Ian Flanigan just dropped his sophomore album, The Man Mama Raised. Jumping into his Americana blend of country and folk, Ian stays rugged yet smooth, creating an easy no-skips listening session. The Man Mama Raised includes gentle ballads like “All Of You”, but for a honky-tonk bop, give “Gimme Cash” a listen. Consider us subscribed for updates on more show dates!
Nicotine Dolls | An Attempt at Romantic
Nicotine Dolls just dropped An Attempt at Romantic, an album packed with their nostalgic, indie-rock sound. The album’s 12 tracks highlight the New York natives’ ability to stay consistent with vibe-providing albums. “I Need Love” is your late-night drive track, with punchy, 80s pop beats, while the Dolls slow down and get vulnerable on “Still Saying Goodbye.” Be sure to vibe out with the Nicotine Dolls on their North American Tour, *manifesting* a show date near you!
Chappell Roan | “The Giver”
It’s been hard to keep up with Sofar Alum Chappell Roan because she keeps on giving! From touring globally to her Grammy wins, Chappell still made the time to drop her latest single, “The Giver.” Chappell delivered a country-pop anthem, dance routine included. *Please note, this might become your top song of 2025!
Cat Ridgeway | “What If?”
Folk meets dream-pop with Cat Ridgeway, and it’s a genre-blend you didn’t know you needed. Cat dropped the epic teaser, “What If?”, a groovy single off her upcoming album, Sprinter. With dancey, high-energy and layered beats, Cat is a notable festival artist for a reason. Hear Cat and more from Sprinter on her upcoming tour!
Dende | “Need U Like”
Dim the lights and get the candles out for this one. “Need U Like” is the latest sexy cool single off Dende’s upcoming album i am, because you are… Oh, and IYCMI, his February release of “The Louvre (feat. LUCIIA)” matches the energy of iconic 90s R&B duet ballads (ahem, “My Boo” anyone?!) Now hear us out: Can we get more cities on the listening party list?
Catch these artists and others just like them at a Sofar show near you!
