What’s a new year without a resolution or two? We’ve resolved to share more Otis Redding and Carla Thomas classics with you, and where better to begin than their seminal 1967 cut “New Year’s Resolution?” Float on from there to the sounds of James Alexander Bright shaken, stirred, and swirled by the Flying Mojito Brothers. Plus, brand new Tennis to keep us hyped for their new album Pollen due next month, and a previously unreleased demo for the Frank Zappa and George Duke heads out there.

And we’ve got giveaways aplenty to get your 2023 calendar looking sharp. In particular, we recommend you throw your hat into the ring to catch Canadian singer-songwriter Andy Shauf at the Belasco on Thursday, March 2.
