SOCCER MOMMY

Indie newcomer rocker Soccer Mommy’s recently released Clean is one of our favorite new albums, and we’re obviously not the only ones who like it.

She also plays BrooklynVegan and Margin Walker’s free Lost Weekend 2 day parties in Austin during SXSW. Updated dates are listed HERE.

RAVYN LENAE

R&B/soul singer Ravyn Lenae recently announced a tour supporting her great new Crush EP and she just added a second NYC show to that tour. The day before she plays Rough Trade (4/4), she’ll play Baby’s All Right (4/3). Updated dates are listed HERE. Stream her new EP on Spotify.
