[av_heading heading='Way Down Wanderers join the Jeff Austin Band on the road' tag='h3' style='blockquote modern-quote' size='' subheading_active='subheading_below' subheading_size='15' padding='10' color='' custom_font=''] Written by: Matthew McGuire [/av_heading] The Jeff Austin Band and Way Down Wanderers plugged in and stripped down their sound on Wednesday, September 16 in downtown Carbondale, Illinois.

The Delta Saints + Ed Spear release Bones
The Delta Saints released Bones, an album capturing their gritty Nashville style on record. The album was released with Loud and Proud Records. 'Heavy Hammer' grabbed my attention right away.

Bones is Produced/engineered/mixed by Ed Spear. His professional work experience with Three Man Records echoes within this project. The tracks on the album provide a range of emotions built with unique song structures. 'Dust' is a provocative track that works on the
