Michaela Anne
In a dim green room backstage on tour in the UK, Michaela Anne pressed record on her phone and captured what would become the chorus to her new single, If Your Body Fails You — her first song in two years. It was the spark that broke a long silence, a stretch when songwriting had felt impossibly far away.The silence began when Michaela became a mom, just as her own mother suffered a life-altering stroke. Bearing witness to her mother’s loss—of mobility, of independence, of being treated as fully herself—Michaela became desperate to understand unconditional love, for herself and for those around her. “I want to resist the idea that we must be preserved. If we’re lucky to be here long enough, our bodies will fail us, and only in our deep devotion to ourselves and each other will we survive.” If Your Body Fails You carries that tenderness: a recognition that we will change, and that love must deepen to hold all of it.

Bond Henry
Bond Henry, a Chicago singer-songwriter.Bond's songs often have a strong autobiographical element. One particularly personal example is “The Poor Man’s Dollar (The Ballad of Donald Lee),” which tells the story of his father and connects to Bond's own childhood experience in an orphanage in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Henry has also developed a live identity that moves comfortably between intimate singer-songwriter performances and fuller band settings. He has performed as a trio and has even played an acoustic show for a heavy-metal audience—a nice illustration of how broadly he approaches his musical influences. He continues to be part of the Chicago music community; his song “What's Your Name” was featured on WXRT's Local Anesthetic in September 2026. Bond is an interesting guy and a thoughtful writer-- I'm looking forward to talking with him. Join me next week for an evening of music and talk with Bond Henry!

Boot Juice
BOOT JUICE is a seven-piece high-energy rock ‘n’ roll / Americana act from Northern California, notori-ous for their barn-burning live shows that get entire crowds on their feet dancing: a reputation earned from recent performances at legendary venues like The Fillmore and Dillon Amphitheater, festival sets at Treefort, High Sierra, and Golden Road Gathering, and packed club shows all across America during their many years on the road. The group’s fervently-anticipated fourth album, Keeping Out Of The Ground (out 3/20) exemplifies the tradition of kickass eclectic American rock ‘n’ roll: With three vocalists, dueling acoustic and electric-guitar shredding, a bawdy horn section, and driving, soulful rhythms, the album offers everything from groovy, danceable bangers (“Hard Time for Hard Times”, “Slingshot”, “Struggles”) to heavy, show-stopping rock anthems (“Try Again Tomorrow”, “Rise and Shine”, “Boise”), and tender, swinging ballads (“Anywhere With You”, “Love From Here”, “Keeping Out of the Ground”). Throughout it all, the band sends a poignant message: Despite everything going on in the world and the hopelessness creeping in around us, the best thing we can do is push it through, keep ourselves out of the ground, keep showing up for ourselves and our neighbors, and forgive ourselves when we just need to try again tomorrow.Though they call the Sacramento, California area home, Boot Juice originated in 2017 deep in the moun-tains and rivers of Idaho and Northern California, where husband-and-wife duo Connor Herdt (vocals / acoustic guitar) and Jessica Stoll (vocals, mandolin) worked outdoor jobs like raft-guiding and ski patrol. Herdt’s close friend and former member, Evan Daly (vocals / electric guitar), would often come out to visit and the two would do what they’ve done since they were young kids: sit around and shred on guitar togeth-er for hours. Stoll, who has done all of the band’s artwork (album covers, merch designs, tour / show posters – you name it) since the band’s early days, joined the band as a vocalist and mandolin player, balancing Herdt’s heartfelt crooning and Daly’s raspy, rock ‘n’ roll bellows with her soulful, resonant pipes.

The band performed at farmers markets in the Santa Barbara area, playing venues like SoHo and Cold Spring Tavern and performing at local festivals like Earth Day and Summer Solstice.[4]In April 2013, the band left Santa Barbara and moved to the countryside north of San Francisco’s Bay Area. That same year, Rainbow Girls released their crowdfunded debut album, The Sound of Light.[5] Rainbow Girls continued to tour the West Coast regularly, as well as Europe and the UK every summer.After the departure of Methmann in 2014,[6] the remaining four members recorded their sophomore album, Perceptronium, and released it in June 2015.[7]In the spring of 2016, Hughes announced she could no longer tour with the band full-time, so the remaining three members of the band – Chapin, Gowdey, and Wilbourn – began performing as a trio. In this period they opened for John Craigie and The Brothers Comatose.[8]On November 8, 2017, Rainbow Girls released their third album, American Dream, with a shift to a more acoustic folk sound.[9][10][11]In the fall of 2018, the band received wide exposure when their video of Alvin Robinson's "Down Home Girl" received several million views on Facebook.[12] They soon went into the studio to record a cover al-bum, Give the People What They Want, which was released on February 22, 2019.[13] Their video for “Down Home Girl” (originally performed by Robinson and popularized by The Rolling Stones, The Coast-ers, and Old Crow Medicine Show) led them to be picked up by Madison House booking agency, as well as by manager, Hannah Spero

Matt Axton and Badmoon
Episode 256First Air 09-20-26Matt Axton and BadmoonBadmoonGraveyHome Sweet HomeSame Old StoryMatt Axton is a gifted singer/songwriter. Granted, that’s a claim made by many artists that inhabit the world of Americana these days, but in Matt’s case, it’s more than a mere boast. The ability to make music is firmly infused in his genes, courtesy of a family history that implanted that ability in him early on. While he modestly describes his sound as a “humble slice of Americana,” it’s clear that it possesses so much more. With a style that encompasses country, folk, roots, rock, R&B, and pure pop proficiency, he defies easy categorization. With a rich reservoir of original tunes — over 300 in fact — and three well received albums (Blue Sky Rain, Matthew C. Axton and Badmoon), he’s established himself as a prolific and proficient singer, songwriter and guitarist, both on his own and at the helm of his various ensembles.Even a small sampling of his musical output proves the point. His “Blue Sky Rain” is both stirring and seductive, an easy amble that belies its description of the topsy turvy travails that accompany the entanglements of relationships. “Born of Chains” is flush with steadfast determination, a rugged, relentless bluesy-rocker that conveys clear conviction and a desire to overcome whatever obstacles are tossed in his way. On the other hand, “Everything” is an homage to romance, desire and faithfulness shared with some upbeat bluegrass banter. Here again, Matt demonstrates his remarkable fluidity and a decidedly affable attitude.Notably, he also keeps good company. Matt has recorded original material with Steve Ferrone (drummer for Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers) and Hal Cragin (bassist for Iggy Pop), and shared sessions at the legendary East West Studios in Hollywood where Tom Petty recorded much of his work. The songs include: “Last Search”, a Southern rock-style anthem; “Born of Chains,” which shares a sparse and dark singer/songwriter vibe; the Americana style “What a Day”; the soulful strains of “Soul to Sell” and “The Big South”, a blues groove reminiscent ZZ Top.He has collaborated on projects such as “Abbey Road Reimaged – A Tribute to the Beatles” where Aaron Badgley of Spill Magazine called Axton’s cover of ‘Octopus’ Garden’ “pure genius.”“Matt’s powerful songwriting and vocals, along with his natural rapport with the audience, was the highlight of the 4th of July celebration where we hired him to play for the 3,500 people at Donner Lake,” said Ben Martin, executive director of the Tahoe Truckee School of Music and Tahoe Music Professionals booking service.
