I’d like give a shout out to The Summer Set for really doing a record release right. The new album, Meet Me At The Record Store, comes out August 15^th, but last week they performed the whole thing for a very pumped up crowd at The Roxy. It was an absolute delight to hear new songs live for the first time in a room full of fans.  The band also played a second set full of more familiar fare and hosted a pop-up shop outside the venue where anyone could purchase the new album and additional merch. Well done!

Next week, there are a surprising number of larger venue shows I might have to look into, but I’m most looking forward to a few rising Brit artists Olivia Dean and Wunderhorse at The Fonda.
