On Your Radar - May 14, 2024

John Platt's On Your Radar has a new venue, the legendary Bitter End NYC.

Matt King and White Collar Crime is the songwriting/performance vehicle of Matt King, Scott Warren, Tim Hatfield and Ian Ackerman. With a new album, “Words I Never Said,” forthcoming Summer 2024 (think Tom Petty, Lou Reed, Bruce Springsteen), they are long part of the NY music community, with reviews like “Full of heart and are positively dripping with personality. ...full of charm and heart. The musical style is robust and eclectic, rooted in traditional rock and roll with a Counting Crows style aesthetic."

Mad Agnes has won hearts on two continents with their signature intricate harmonies, compelling, incisive songwriting, and well-crafted instrumentation. The genre-bending trio — Margo Hennebach, Adrienne Jones and Mark Saunders — weaves contemporary folk with a nod to Celtic, an element of vocal improv and top-notch arrangements into an exciting, inclusive performance. Using only one microphone, they form and re-form, early-radio style, encouraging more playfulness and connection. Their 5th original CD, “Likely Story,” charted #10 on FAI Folk Chart Top Albums in February.

Sandy Bailey has been compared to a spectrum of classic acts, from Linda Ronstadt to Bonnie Raitt, yet she possesses a sound all her own. The depth of her songwriting stems from her life and identity as a biracial woman and single mother who abandoned a Pentecostal upbringing in favor of a life of art-making. Incorporating elements of gospel blues, soul, and classic Americana, Bailey’s new self-produced album “Daughter of Abraham” delivers "a sound maybe best characterized as early Muscle Shoals." -Twangville
