JUNE 2025 NEWSLETTER

I love my job.  

This past weekend, I drove to Chicago to see The Wildwoods in person with the rest of our management team.  As you've seen their name and heard me sing their praises before, it's even better to see them live, and to watch as The Wildwoods' fan base grows rapidly in real time.  

Hopefully you can check them out in a city near you, since they have a really busy touring schedule for the remainder of 2025 to promote their new album, Dear Meadowlark.  

In addition, there are plenty more artists we are representing that are going to be road dogs this summer and fall.  And that's a great thing for the music business--that live shows are fully back and further removed from you-know-what that messed up 2020 and 2021 and in some cases beyond that.  

As I like to say, live music is good for the soul.  But beyond that, recorded music can also have a positive effect on us.  So I'm going to put together a playlist soon of our current projects and artists.  Meanwhile, you can visit the links we've provided below.

Thanks for listening, and happy June to you all!.--MJF
