A headlining set from Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band on the beach in their spiritual home of Asbury Park, N.J., sounds more like a fannish fever dream than an actual festival booking. But that performance is actually happening Sept. 15, on the second night of the sixth annual Sea.Hear.Now festival. The festival, which has already hosted names as big as Pearl Jam and Foo Fighters (and will feature Noah Kahan as headliner the night before Springsteen), was founded in 2018 by famed photographer and Jersey native Danny Clinch...

The Gaslight Anthem will cover a Billie Eilish smash and give one of their own deep cut classics a new spin on the upcoming EP, History Books — Short Stories, out this Friday, March 22.
The four-track project will be anchored by a rendition of Eilish’s breakthrough hit, “Ocean Eyes,” which frontman Brian Fallon learned about from his daughter. “I was driving my daughter to school and she played it for me on the way and I really took to the song,” he said in a statement. “Then one day we...

Fresh off the release of the Gaslight Anthem’s new album History Books, the New Jersey rockers appeared on CBS Mornings’ Saturday Session to showcase a pair of tracks from their first LP in nine years.
For the mini-set, Brian Fallon and company performed “Autumn” and the title track, the latter sadly (and predictably) without Bruce Springsteen, who appears on the History Books version of the song. The band also dug out “Blue Jeans & White T-Shirts,” the Garden State-inspired cut from the Gaslight Anthem’s 2008 EP Señor and the Queen.

The Gaslight Anthem are back with their first album in nearly a decade, History Books, out today, October 27th on their own Rich Mahogany Recordings via Thirty Tigers.
“None of us wanted to make a very somber or serious record showing how much we’ve matured,” singer Brian Fallon said in a statement about their follow-up to 2014’s Get Hurt. “We’ve all changed and grown and learned so much, but the overall mood was a feeling of excitement to be back together and making music that means something to us.”
In an interview with The Associated Press, Fallon explained how the title track — which features Bruce Springsteen — came together. After calling on Springsteen — who over the years became the artist’s friend, not just idol — for advice about potentially reuniting The Gaslight Anthem, the legend himself proposed a duet. “We didn’t want to make a record that felt sub-heart,...

The Gaslight Anthem are back with “Little Fires,” a new look at their upcoming album History Books. Check out the single below.
The raucous new track finds the New Jersey band at their punk-pop best, as Brian Fallon barks out a tale of young love over a Replacements-style guitar melody. “I know, I know, I know you’ll be a part of me forever,” he sings, “But you know, you know, you know I’m not afraid of going out.”
“In the end we all burn little fires,” Fallon sighs.
History Books, The Gaslight Anthem’s first album since 2014’s Get Hurt, is out October 27th and features the previously released track “Positive Charge” and the Bruce Springsteen duet “History Books.” Pre-orders are ongoing.

The Gaslight Anthem are emerging from a nearly decade-long recording hiatus on October 27 with the release of their sixth album, History Books. Bruce Springsteen joins them on the tittle track, which you can hear right now.
“When Bruce Springsteen said I should write a duet for us, I think my head exploded,” Gaslight Anthem frontman Brian Fallon says in a statement. “It will never get old to me that one of the greatest songwriters in the world, and one of my hero’s voices, will forever be captured in a...

Heart-on-their-sleeve rockers the Gaslight Anthem reunited last year and launched their first tour in four years. Now they’re dropping new music: “Positive Charge” is the New Jersey group’s first new song in nine years. And as its title suggests, it’s electrifying.
Opening with a stomping drumbeat and a skronky guitar lick, the track’s dissonant attack is at odds with the optimistic message of the lyrics. “I wanna live, I wanna love you a little longer,” singer Brian Fallon declares. “How I’ve missed you/and feeling good to be alive.

The Gaslight Anthem have returned with a new single, “Positive Charge,” their first new music in almost a decade. Stream the song below.
Grounded by a beefy, guitar-driven rhythm bed, the melodies of vocalist Brian Fallon lift “Positive Charge” to a soaring height, while its candid lyricism hits with a sense of intimacy. “‘Where did you go?’/ I would say that to myself often/ Like I was dressing up for a coffin/ To lie down in,” the song begins — when the climax arrives, the refrain “I need a spark/ I need a positive charge/ Plug it into my veins/ Make me love this life again” rings of rejuvenation.
“‘Positive Charge’ began as a message of joy to ourselves and to our audience,” Fallon explained in a statement. “The central theme is about looking at the things you’ve come through, and feeling like you want to go ahead with an open heart toward the future,...

Let’s face it: This Christmas season is shaping up to be less than a beaut, Clark. Fortunately, there’s some new country and Americana recordings to dull the pain. Some extol the virtues of simply getting drunk or stoned, while others look to brighter and more clear-eyed days ahead. Here’s your must-hear holiday playlist.
Katie Pruitt, “Merry Christmas Mary Jane”
Katie Pruitt is finding a little spark in “Merry Christmas Mary Jane,” a languid blues-rocker that celebrates the power of a good joint to chase away the holiday blues.

Blame the pandemic, the dying planet, or our rapid transition into United States: Fury Road, but there’s a lot of soul searching going on these days. Some artists, especially in the Americana genre, are even looking to the heavens. Brent Cobb is releasing a gospel album in January, Hiss Golden Messenger sing hymns religious and secular on a new LP, and Katie Pruitt is dissecting her complicated religious upbringing in the must-listen podcast The Recovering Catholic.

One day in the spring of 2018, Jenn Marie Earle was washing dishes in her Portland, Oregon, home, when her husband, Justin Townes Earle, walked into the kitchen with his guitar to play her a song he’d just written.
As Justin started singing, Jenn Marie began to cry. On its surface, “Ahi Esta Mi Nina” was the tale of a Puerto Rican father attempting to reconnect with his estranged daughter after a long prison stint. But Jenn Marie realized that the song was ultimately about her husband’s pain. His...

President Donald Trump plans to nominate Amy Coney Barrett to fill the Supreme Court vacancy following the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, multiple media outlets, including CBS News, CNN and The New York Times, reported on Friday afternoon.
Trump plans to announce his choice at a White House ceremony on Saturday afternoon.
The president told reporters that he had made a decision, but told of reports that Barrett was the pick, he said, “I haven’t said that…They’re all great.”
The choice of Barrett would not be a surprise: She has been widely viewed as a front runner for the high court, and met with the president earlier this week. She also was reported to have been a leading contender for the last Supreme Court vacancy in 2018, when the president ultimately selected Brett Kavanaugh to succeed Justice Anthony Kennedy.

“If I can’t make it out of this ditch/I better make a home of it,” Dave Hause sings in his song “The Ditch” off his 2019 album, Kick. It’s a school of thought I’ve been trying to adopt since 2020’s pandemic plotline went off the rails. If this mess isn’t going to end anytime soon — and thanks to good ol’ American dysfunction, that seems to be the case — we have to adapt to living in the ditch.
But that doesn’t mean resignation. Instead, it’s about evolution.

In the wake of George Floyd’s killing by Minneapolis police, more than 700 actors, recording artists and entertainment and music industry organizations and their supporters have signed a letter urging swift passage of the Justice in Policing Act. The bill pending in the House of Representatives would ban chokeholds and no-knock warrants, limit military-style equipment on American streets and make lynching a federal crime.
The legislation would also make it easier to prosecute police misconduct and enable individuals to recover damages in civil court by eliminating qualified immunity for law enforcement officers who use excessive force. See the letter and its full list of signatories and supporters below.
Signers of the letter, which has been sent to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, include SAG-AFTRA, the Motion Picture Association, the Recording Industry Association of America, the Songwriters Guild of America and the Association of Independent Music Publishers,...

The Wild Feathers’ new road anthem, Brian Fallon’s hushed love song, and Brad Paisley’s inspiring “Alive Right Now” are among the fresh country and Americana songs to hear this week.
The Wild Feathers, “Jacksonville to Jackson Hole”
For years, the Wild Feathers have planted their feet on both sides of the country-rock divide. They fully step into twangier territory with this Eric Church and Casey Beathard co-write, which finds the group singing the praises of cross-country road trips, truck stops, and heat-lamp chicken tenders. The song’s secret...

“I know he doesn’t like this version,” Patti Smith said, with a grin, of Van Morrison before launching into her iconic transformation of “Gloria” for the finale of Thursday’s Carnegie Hall tribute to the Belfast singer. “But I’m thanking him anyway.”

Philly-raised songwriter Dave Hause blends the power-pop hook of Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off” with a punk-rock sneer on “The Ditch,” a scorching take on present-day political anxiety and the first track off his upcoming album, Kick.
The former leader of alt-rock band the Loved Ones and frequent tourmate of punk peers Brian Fallon and Chuck Ragan, Hause is no stranger to anti-Trump missives — see 2017’s “Dirty Fucker.” On “The Ditch,” he takes a more measured approach to the state of the country, accepting the situation for what it...

The entire world wanted to snare an interview with Judge Brett Kavanaugh, the Supreme Court nominee. Martha MacCallum found out at nine this morning that he had agreed to talk to her.
From there, it was a mad dash to figure out questions and logistics before taping the exchange with Judge Kavanaugh and his wife, Ashley Estes Kavanaugh, for Fox News Channel. “It was a quick turnaround,” MacCallum told Variety, in an interview after the exchange aired on her 7 p.m. program, “The Story.”
She landed what is known in the news business as a “big get.” The nation is riveted to Kavanaugh’s nomination process, which has been knocked off its traditional path by accusations from women that he initiated unwanted sexual contact with them when he was younger.
“I think he was anxious to get his story out,” said MacCallum, who noted she and her staff have been furiously working this story,...

Washington — As Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings head into a final and decisive stretch, the dark-money cavalry is riding to his rescue.
The Judicial Crisis Network (Jcn), the anonymously funded conservative nonprofit run by a former clerk to Justice Clarence Thomas, says it will spend $1.5 million on an ad blitz intended to shore up support for President Trump’s latest Supreme Court nominee. The news comes in the days since Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, a research psychologist and professor in California, publicly alleged that Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted...

The Hold Steady continued their new-song hot streak with “Confusion in the Marketplace” and “T-Shirt Tux.”
The former track blends heavy distortion with anthemic piano, trumpet and zooming synthesizer leads. Frontman Craig Finn opens the cut with an array of surreal lines full of alliteration: “Princess came to breakfast looking puffy from the Prednisone/ Someone’s little sister had me marching to the metronome,” he snarls. “The Maharaji on the mountain with a megaphone/ Reaching for the secrets in the static on the stereo.”
The band adopts a similarly sprawling approach on “T-Shirt Tux,...

The Hold Steady released two new songs to their Bandcamp. First, “The Stove and the Toaster” is a stomping rocker punctuated with piles of guitar licks, a piano interlude and brass. Singer Craig Finn narrates a story about all sorts of nefarious characters and revenge plots.
During the chorus he sneers, “Got some new information from the chef and the chauffeur/ They put the stash in the stove, they keep the cash in the toaster/ Down in Las Cruces they don’t play with jokers/ I hope I still know...

Donald Trump is firing back at critics in the media who say he he’s lost credibility over his contradictory claims surrounding the firing of former FBI director James Comey.
In his latest tweet storm Friday morning, the president threatened to “cancel all future press briefings” — suggesting instead to “hand out written responses for the sake of accuracy.”
His words came minutes after NBC correspondent Nicolle Wallace — a former White House communications chief during the presidency of George W. Bush — told Today that members of Trump’s administration have “zero credibility.”
“I cannot overstate how extraordinary it is,” she said.

President Trump rekindled his connection with Rosie O’Donnell on Thursday afternoon, tweeting at his longtime foe over his Monday firing of FBI Director James Comey.
Responding to a December 2016 tweet in which O’Donnell called for Comey’s firing, Trump tweeted: “We finally agree on something Rosie.”
At the time, O’Donnell was replying to a tweet from CNN’s Brian Fallon, who argued that unsealed court filings proved that Comey’s election-eve letter to Congress regarding the Hillary Clinton email investigation was “utterly unjustified.”
The president’s tweet comes amid allegations that he fired Comey because of the...

Politicians, commentators and celebrities alike are reacting with shock and outrage over President Trump‘s sudden firing of FBI Director James Comey on Tuesday evening.
“This is an investigator investigating the White House who was just fired by the White House. This doesn’t happen in the United States”— except in Richard Nixon’s White House during Watergate, said a visibly exasperated CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin.
Former Clinton campaign press secretary Brian Fallon called into CNN to join the chorus of analysts reminding Americans that Comey was in the middle of investigating Trump for collusion with Russia.

President Donald Trump has responded to claims of repeated contact between his team and Russian intelligence officials during the 2016 presidential election election, calling the accusations “conspiracy theories” and “an attempt to cover-up the many mistakes made in Hillary Clinton’s losing campaign.”
He also slammed the apparent leaks from the intelligence community, tweeting that classified information was being given out ‘like candy.’
Current and former American officials told The New York Times in a report published Tuesday that law enforcement and intelligence agencies intercepted communications around the same time they were discovering evidence that Russia was trying to disrupt the...
