The Womack Family Band
The Blue Room
The Norwalk, Ohio-based quartet’s new 10-song release spans folk, country, even jazz, and the band sounds as comfortable and confident as ever. With three members rotating lead vocal duties, it’s tough to pick favorites, but the dusty-jukebox twang of “Far More” and the infectious energy of “A Silver Line of Peace” stick with you. womackband.com
Dan Miraldi
Sugar & Adrenaline
The Cleveland singer-songwriter’s new album brims with vintage rock swagger. Big guitars and pop hooks fuel songs like “Few Rock Harder” and “Record Collection,” but Miraldi shows his range here, too. Don’t miss the excellent organ-backed ballad “Helen of Troy.” danmiraldi.com
Shivering Timbers
Sing Sing
The group’s sophomore release, guided by husband and wife duo Jayson and Sarah Benn, is a beautiful continuation of their ethereal sound, rooted in folk and blues with an evolving country twinge. Heavily distorted guitar, thumping drums and haunting, wistful vocals shine on “Generations” and the title track. shiveringtimbersmusic.com
