Nashville-based Americana artist DAVID NEWBOULD is planning his continental return for August/September 2025, bringing his full 4-piece band along with him.
Newbould isn’t used to sitting still. Born in Toronto, he relocated to New York City as a teenager and logged time in Austin’s fertile music scene before ultimately settling in Nashville. There, he found a community that was every bit as diverse as his own history. Albums like 2013’s Tennessee shone a light on his cross-continental travels and inner journey, too, while 2019’s Sin & Redemption found him fronting an A-list studio band whose members included drummer BRAD PEMBERTON (STEVE EARLE, RYAN ADAMS) and rock legend DAN BAIRD (GEORGIA SATELLITES). With Power Up!, Newbould veers from the talking blues of ”Home Depot Glasses” (a tribute to the late, great JOHN PRINE) to the guttural, riff-ready rock of the album’s title track, to ”Peeler Park” — a rollicking Steve Earle meets-NICK CAVE’s Grinderman groove, David Newbould is a lifer. Since kickstarting his career with 2007’s Big Red Sun, he’s made his mark as a Heartland Roots-rocker, Americana artist and amplified Folksinger, writing songs that chart the ups and downs of an adulthood often spent onstage and on the road. He turned a new page with his fourth full-length studio album, Power Up!, a record whose messages of persistence and unshakeable survival are driven forward by the grease, grit, and guitar-driven swagger of rock & roll.
With a catalog of critically-acclaimed releases, thousands of live performances, and placements in programs like Criminal Minds and Dawson’s Creek, David Newbould has carved his own spot in the roots-rock world. 2025 promises a new layer in the unique sound and carefully-constructed craft that have piloted Newbould’s career for more than a dozen years.
The music of singer-songwriter Tess Liautaud is hard to pin down to a single genre. With her warm, soulful voice, she delivers emotionally charged songs, drawing on country and folk influences that echo the laid-back, melodic Laurel Canyon sound. It’s no surprise she found her place among folk and rock musicians in Ōtautahi (Christchurch, New Zealand). With her second album “Blue Mind,” Tess firmly established herself in the contemporary Americana and folk scene. The album reached number six on the New Zealand charts and took her to sold-out venues across her adopted homeland. Anyone who’s seen her live instantly understands the secret behind her success.
