Hello, friends. I’m a firm believer that the contemporary musicians most worth hearing are those who are sailing under the radar, so each month I compile some of my favorite discoveries into possibly the greatest… Ah, it’s not for you. It’s more of a Shelbyville idea.

You can listen to this episode via the embedded player just below in this blog post, or on the Mixcloud website, via the Mixcloud mobile app, on your Sonos system, etc. (If you’re reading via an email digest in which the audio player isn’t embedded, please click the button below.)

There’s also a more barebones iteration of this episode’s playlist (minus my commentary) on Spotify and Apple Music.

If you like what you hear, please support the artists. You’ll find Bandcamp links to the tracks in the bulleted list below.
