Antar Goodwin, a Philadelphia-based roots and blues artist, blends the grit of classic blues with the soul of Americana in his music. Before gaining recognition with his band, Antar Goodwin & The Faithful Sinner, he spent 15 years as a bassist in New York City’s vibrant music scene. During this time, he served as a musical director and co-writer for several national touring artists, including Sting, Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, Bruce Katz, Sean Chambers, Ruth Brown, Benny Golson, and co-wrote the album “On My Way,” which reached the Billboard top 10 twice and was featured on Blues Rock Review’s list of the Top 20 Albums of 2022. His raw honesty and emotional depth create a powerful invitation for listeners. With a deep well of storytelling and masterful guitar work, Antar takes audiences on a journey of truth and transformation through his timeless sound.
Antar and his band recently concluded the second leg of their UK tour in support of their 2024 album, “The Game,” recorded and produced by Ben Rice at Degraw Sound, known for his collaborations with Joan Osborne, Valerie June, and Norah Jones. Upon their return, Antar signed with Bigger Beast Records, an artist-centric record label based in Connecticut. Building on the momentum of “The Game,” Antar is eagerly anticipating the release of his new single in the second half of 2025.
Born and raised in Knoxville, TN, Sally Buice and Molly Rochelson of songwriter duo The Montvales spent much of their formative years busking amidst the Elvis impersonators and musical saw players of the town’s Market Square, honing their uniquely boisterous harmonies and driving, joyful sound. Eventually they graduated to playing indoors on the local Americana radio station, WDVX, and found community in old-time circles around town. A local fiddler’s dairy cows were among the first intrepid listeners of their early DIY recordings. After moving away for several years to seek their fortunes separately, Molly and Sally finally reunited in 2019 to write and record their first album, Heartbreak Summer Camp. The two now make their home in Cincinnati, OH, spending their days touring extensively and crafting intimate, storytelling-driven songs that explore the joys and perils of self-determination. Their new album, Born Strangers, is produced by Mike Eli LoPinto (producer and co-writer of Emily Nenni’s “On the Ranch”, guitarist for Chris Stapleton) and recorded in Sean Sullivan’s Tractor Shed Studio in Nashville. Tracks from the album have been featured by The Bluegrass Situation, Holler., The American Songwriter, The Bluegrass Standard, Twangville, and more. The twelve songs careen recklessly across the whole folk-country spectrum, showcasing The Montvales’ distinctive harmonies and building a sonic world just expansive and surprising enough to hold the wide-eyed existentialism of the stories and questions raised by the lyrics.
