Joyce Manor are California pop-punk legends and I Used To Go To This Bar is this epochal band operating at the top of their game. They continue to deliver relentlessly satisfying rock music in a manner that makes it look simply effortless. The Torrance, California-hailing trio of Barry Johnson, Chase Knobbe, and Matt Ebert are at a point in their career where their position as one of the most beloved rock bands is a foregone conclusion. Their seventh album, produced by Brett Gurewitz (of Bad Religion and Epitaph Records CEO) finds the group continuing to find rich new veins to tap in their short-and-sweet songcraft without losing an ounce of bite that gained them such repute in the first place.

Floridian singer-songwriter Dominic Fike can do it all on stage — strum catchy indie-pop gems, belt out soulful shouts, spit rapid-fire raps, take mellow moments on the Rhodes keyboard and even bust out the occasional backflip.
Leading his small band, the viral sensation mixes bedroom pop intimacy with arena rock bravado and hip-hop sensibility. Though known for alterna-pop hit "3 Nights," he will occasionally free himself from his guitar to hold the microphone and command the crowd with rapid-fire raps or an impassioned croon.
Fike has played the Made in America festival, Georgia's Music Midtown and Los Angeles' Hammer Museum. A wildly fast rise meant Fike headlined his own Rain or Shine tour in 2019 having released only a six-song EP and a handful of singles. That year he was set to hit the West Coast, Canada, Australia, Europe and more.

Winyah is more than a band name; it’s a hometown, a headspace, a heartbeat. Formed in 2023 and named after Winyah Bay – the coastal South Carolina landmark where four out of five members grew up – the group pulls their sound straight from the source: Humid nights, endless highways, and the push-and-pull of small-town life. Lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Thomas Rowland, bassist Stephen Russell, keyboardist Robert Buffington Jr. lead guitarist Luke Gordon, and drummer Jacob “Jake” Riley all cut their teeth grinding weekends – independently touring far and wide, all the while juggling jobs, college classes, and long drives – each member committing to the vision long before there was a plan.
, Penelope Road is here to bring real performance back. It’s a goal as easy to grasp and slyly ambitious as the Georgia soul-pop band’s music itself, and that mission is playing out across the country to the tune of 20,000 tickets sold in 2025 alone. “We just want people to come to a show or throw on our music and feel…

Blues icon. Soul man. Rock and roller. Robert Cray is all these things – and more. The Georgia- born, Washington-raised musician first picked up a guitar after seeing The Beatles on TV then, having witnessed Jimi Hendrix perform in Seattle, determined that his destiny would also follow a similar path. And so he has: across the past half century Robert Cray’s developed into one of American music’s most singular artists.
From forming a teenage garage band, through to striding the stage alongside several of the world’s greatest guitarists, Robert Cray’s story is one of struggle and commitment. Struggle and commitment that led to Cray enjoying phenomenal success – selling millions of albums and countless concert tickets, winning five Grammy Awards, being inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame, receiving the Americana Music Lifetime Achievement Award, designing two signature model Fender guitars – yet for Robert what’s always mattered most is the music. Every note he plays counts, every song he sings is delivered a…

Directed by David Bickerstaff
In an era of great change and great beauty emerged the character of James McNeill Whistler. Considered by some to be one of the great innovators of 19th century art, he was a contemporary of the Impressionists, much admired by Van Gogh and Manet. Boldly experimental and famously witty, Whistler disrupted the strict conventions of Victorian society in pursuit of a new cult of beauty, creating “art for art’s sake” and earning himself a place in the history of great art. He found a parallel between painting and music, and entitled many of his paintings “arrangements,” “harmonies,” and “nocturnes,” emphasizing the importance of tonal harmony in his work. His most famous painting, Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1 (1871), commonly known as Whistler’s Mother, is a revered and often parodied portrait of motherhood. It is arguably one of the most famous paintings in history and this film will unveil the artist behind the art.
