If Briscoe’s debut album was a coming-of-age soundtrack set against the backdrop of the Texas Hill Country, then its follow-up, Heat of July, is the sound of a fully-formed duo chasing down a broader horizon. Inspired by marriage, landscapes, and the cross-country tours that took the band across America, these new songs were written on the road, as eclectic and evocative as the terrain that unfolded just outside the van’s windshield. Once again, Briscoe teamed up with Grammy-nominated producer Brad Cook to bring the songs to life, collaboratively creating a record that expands Briscoe’s folk-rock sound in all directions. There are bigger arrangements, sharper vocal harmonies, and enough top-tier guest musicians — including members of Houndmouth, Hiss Golden Messenger, Bon Iver, Mipso, and Watchhouse — to form their own supergroup. The result is a cinematic, widescreen version of American roots music, created by two lifelong friends who’ve learned to distill the thrill of the open road — and the challenges of growing up — into an ever-evolving soundtrack.
At just 18 years old, Baton Rouge-based country singer-songwriter Noah James is emerging as one of the genre’s most compelling new voices. Known for blending raw emotion, vivid storytelling, and a sound deeply rooted in his Louisiana upbringing, Noah has already connected with a rapidly growing audience, amassing over 50 million TikTok views and over 300,000 followers. His debut singles “Set Free,” “Love Run Cold,” and “Same Old Things” earned praise for their authenticity and heartfelt lyricism, drawing comparisons to modern country storytellers like Zach Bryan and Wyatt Flores. With his signing to Santa Anna/Sony Music, Noah is poised to take his music to an even wider audience, solidifying his place as one of country music’s most sincere and promising young stars.
