He was too. Long known as one of the most optimistic bright lights in the pop singer-songwriter sphere, Grammer found himself fighting demons and finding new corners of himself, places he hadn’t wanted to venture before. “Being happy, anger is my vulnerability,” he says. “I didn’t know how to deal with getting in touch with anger. I just pretended it wasn’t there.” Grammer embarked on a long mental health journey that mirrored an exploratory five-year interim between albums which, of course, happened to coincide with a particularly tumultuous five years for all of us. After everything, Monster, arriving October 4, became a document of someone walking through a fire they never wanted to even look at, and what happens when they emerge on the other side. Grammer wasn’t intending to make an album built around mandolin, but it happened. He wrote one song called “Bigger Man,” the genesis and skeleton key to what became Monster. It was an uncustomary track for him: grappling with anger, but striving to remain bigger than the darker sides of that emotion. Suddenly a new album began pouring out of Grammer. The folk pedigree of the mandolin proved inspiring. “There’s something about Americana and the twang that felt real to me when singing about struggle,” he explains. Grammer struck a careful balance on Monster: He laid it all out there lyrically, but it’s not as if Monster is uncharacteristically heavy in aesthetic. Complex feelings were filtered through rousing instrumentals, reflective ballads and rejuvenating jams alike. Across the album, Grammer takes on a spectrum of human experience — the mandolin rippling alongside him, like old wisdom surfacing to lead him to some kind of answer. Now 40, Grammer’s seen his fair share of real shit, and the songs on Monster capture it all — the ugly and the beautiful sitting alongside one another, each making no sense without its counterpart. From the hurt and confusion of the album’s opening, these songs trace Grammer’s process of re-centering himself with what really matters in life before concluding with “Friends And Family.” Grammer sings of all the wild turns his life has taken, but decides “It all means nothing without friends and family.” It’s a portrait of a man who has wrestled with parts of himself, and found what’s really important.

Ronnie Stone
Ronnie Stone masterfully bridges the past and future with his unique brand of contemporary synth-pop that seamlessly blends nostalgia with the cutting-edge of modern dance music. The NYC-based producer and multi-instrumentalist writes and records all of his music, utilizing a massive arsenal of 80’s synthesizers to cook up dance-pop gold for the freaks and loners. His latest album, Ride Again (Feeltrip Records), is the culmination of a decade spent dwelling in the shadows at nightclubs and warehouse parties. Inspired by the solace and epiphanies he found on the dance floor, he blends New Wave with the groovy and persistent infectiousness of Techno and House. Since the inception of the project in 2014, Ronnie has built up a loyal following in the NYC scene. Ronnie and his performance bandmate, Rosa Luna are passionate about creating an immersive environment in which to showcase their art and music. Their fogged-out spaces and intricate light show act as a portal into Ronnie’s retro-dystopian nightclub fantasy. Emerging from the haze in full leather, Ronnie takes the stage as if every nightclub was a packed stadium.
Township & Range
Now based in Tulsa, OK, Township & Range is best described as “Americana,” as it encompasses a range of American styles. The project’s name comes from the fact that many of the songs focus on local color and geography filtered through a personal lens. “[T]he neighbors, the neighborhoods, and the neighboring countryside take seat, front and center, in Linn’s songwriting. The writing…follows in the traditions of old Americana legends like Jimmie Rodgers, Hank Williams and Woody Guthrie.”–Hear Nebraska A native of Oklahoma, Travis Linn spent nearly three decades in Nebraska. While there he garnered eight Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards (OEAAs) both songwriting and playing bass in a variety of bands. Black Squirrels and The Electroliners both won OEAAs for “Best Americana/Folk” in 2008 and 2015, respectively. As bassist with Matt Whipkey, Travis earned both “Artist of the Year” and “Album of the Year.” On the strength of those awards, the band toured with Dwight Yoakam throughout 2015-16. Since its founding in 2013, T&R has been both a solo and collaborative effort in Omaha and Tulsa. It is currently a solo project. T&R has released two EPs to favorable reviews for the Nectar + Venom label: Dust On Our Boots in 2015, and Nashville Unincorporated in 2017. OEAA nominations were forthcoming after the release of both EPs. “If you’re looking for some good country and Americana music from Omaha, check out Township & Range … Linn’s new EP, Dust On Our Boots is a collection of plains country tracks such as “Duct Tape & Bailin’ Wire,” about holding things together with what you have and healing up by rubbing a little grit on your scrapes. It’s also my favorite from the five-song EP. “Sandhills Sojourn” sounds like the soundtrack to riding across Nebraska in a wagon, and “Top Shelf Tonight” is a toe-tapper about drinking the good stuff.” –Omaha World-Herald The Tulsa version of T&R began playing live in July 2022, and has performed at The Colony, The Whittier Bar, Thelma’s Peach, Centennial Lounge, Renaissance Brewing Company, Kendall-Whittier Neighborhood’s “Amps On Admiral,” Noise Town Tulsa, Art Crawl on 66, and even the Blue Whale of Catoosa’s 50th Birthday Bash. Township & Range was the only Tulsa artist invited to play PorchFestKC 2023. In December 2023, the live-in-studio episode of RSU TV’s Studio 66 was aired on public television. For 2025 T&R has already been selected to perform for the Norman Music Festival (NMF) in Norman, OK; and the Crossroads Festival 66 in Carthage, MO. T&R is always looking to play more shows in the region, and is currently recording demos for an upcoming album.
