HAPPY RELEASE DAY!!! KC Blues, the new album from Nashville’s Kevin Coleman Give it a listen, spend some time with it, and if it connects with you, we’d love it if you shared it with a friend. Available now through Centripetal Force and Ramble Records. centripetalforcerecords.bandcamp.com
“Modifications,” the 2nd glimpse into Prairiewolf’s Zone Poems. Drawn from live performances and folded back on themselves through tape layering, overdubs, and careful reconstruction, these recordings exist somewhere between memory and motion. “Modifications” opens another door into that world.
“Terrapin” 🐢🐢🐢 is the latest reveal from Kevin Coleman’s forthcoming album, KC Blues. The album releases July 17. You can pre-order yours over at the Centripetal Force and Ramble Records Bandcamp sites. ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

I hope everyone is learning about this album politely. It would seem antithetical to find out any other way.
Bill Barnett@burlveneer.bsky.social · 2mo agoI learned today, in the politest way possible, that the devotional band SOMA (@somakirtan.bsky.social) has a new album out from @centripetalforce.bsky.social called "Songs of the Lotus Born"
Kevin Coleman is a quirky, trailblazing guitarist (multi-instrumentalist is more accurate) breaking all the rules in a town that loves following them. Kevin is the fresh air that Nashville needs. “Ars Longa” now streaming. Preorder the album on the Bandcamp. centripetalforcerecords.bandcamp.com
JUST ANNOUNCED New albums from Prairiewolf and Kevin Coleman! Start your summer early. Preorders are live. The vibe is high. Get into this Centripetal Summer! centripetalforcerecords.bandcamp.com

Vibing to the new @johnnybellsounds.bsky.social album on @centripetalforce.bsky.social records. Some of the chillest solo banjo music I’ve ever heard. It has New Age vibes which I feel is novel for the instrument. Beautiful record!
