Bluesman Kenny Neal Teams Up With Jazz/Gospel Sensation
Quiana Lynell and Special Guest Lee Oskar to Showcase His Spiritual Side On “Let Life Flow,” Coming May 2nd from Verdict Music

The Soon-to-be Released Masterfully Crafted Remake of Neal’s 2008 Release With Several Enhancements and New Additions / Pre-Save Links: https://orcd.co/letlifeflow

BATON ROUGE, LA – Following the success of his debut release on Verdict Music earlier this year with “Devil’s In The Delta,” American Bluesman Kenny Neal has teamed up with jazz/gospel sensation Quiana Lynell and acclaimed harmonica player Lee Oskar to showcase his more spiritual side on “Let Life Flow.” The soon-to-be released track is a masterfully crafted remake of Neal’s 2008 release by the same name, but with several enhancements and new additions. The song’s official release date is May 2nd and will be available to stream on all major platforms then.

Enter Quiana Lynell, a powerhouse soul singer with an otherworldly voice who sings with a warmth and depth seldom heard these days. And flow she does…delivering the simple but life-affirming message with a style and authenticity that makes you want to embrace life and seize the moment – even the “unpredictable” ones that serve to remind us that we are all indeed mortal!

Lynell calls Louisiana home and regularly performs at landmark venues in America and abroad. As a seasoned vocalist, arranger, songwriter and vocal coach, she has worked alongside many notable musicians both in and out of the studio, at live performances worldwide.

In 2017, she won the very prestigious Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition Award, which led to a recording contract with Concord Jazz. Lynell has performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival, Carnegie Hall and The Kennedy Center. Her major label debut in 2019, A Little Love, was very well received by both fans & music critics alike. In 2023, Lynell released her much-anticipated Pillow Talk, a nine-song album on Q Sound.

The chanteuse has also been candid about her love of collaborating with other musical artists, and this is never more evident than on this bluesy duet where Lynell is very much at home in her soul zone trading verses with Neal. The two go back many years both professionally and as friends, and fortuitously, Lynell was available to record the track when Neal reached out to her.

The “takes-you-back” track feels fresh and new but in a most familiar way, reminiscent of ‘80s vibes duets like the classic “Baby, Come to Me” by Patti Austin & James Ingram. Neal is the grounding force, while Lynell adds a layer of harmonic dimensionality that warms the spirit and is easy on the ears.

The icing on the cake is the addition of Lee Oskar, a highly acclaimed harmonica player, composer and songwriter which some of you may remember from his earlier years as one of the founding members of the band WAR, a ‘70s-era progressive soul group whose many crossover hits dominated the music charts for several successive years and garnered global appeal.

Oskar’s musical contributions to some of the band’s most iconic songs including “Cisco Kid,” “Low Rider,” “Spill the Wine,” “Slippin’ Into Darkness,” “Why Can’t We Be Friends” and “The World is a Ghetto” are instantly recognizable and many of the songs, which he co-wrote, have been featured in films, TV, movies and commercials.

Their massively popular album, The World is a Ghetto, received international critical acclaim and became Billboard’s best-selling album of 1973. Due to the band’s popularity and their expansive catalogue of chart-topping hits, many of the band’s more popular songs have since been covered, sampled or interpolated by newer musical artists who were inspired to create their own versions or derivative works.

Following changes to WAR’s original line-up, Oskar later formed The Low Rider Band which initially included four original band members. He has since also founded Lee Oskar and Friends, a jam band featuring outstanding musicians from the Pacific Northwest, performing his own, self-produced original material in addition to many of his well-loved, popular classic hits. Oskar has also self-released two critically acclaimed full-length albums titled, Never Forget and She Said Mahalo.

A consummate entrepreneur, Oskar founded Lee Oskar Harmonicas in 1983, his own harmonica company, and pioneered an interchangeable system of reed plates, combs and cover plates that has become the industry’s gold standard.

This eclectic lineup, combining very distinct musical styles, creates a soundscape so unique and yet so timeless; the track is sure to become a staple for many years to come. Old school style with new school cool! Re-defining easy listening and reminding modern listeners what good music used to sound like, back in the day.

Neal finds redemption on “Let Life Flow” after previously sharing that he was on the mend after surviving a challenging medical set back. The personal track is both liberating and uplifting, assuring us that although “one minute you’re up, the next minute you’re down,” life’s darkest moments can be navigated with grace and that life continues to flow on the other side despair.

Neal is a second-generation Southern Louisiana bluesman–a household name in his home state of Louisiana where the Swamp Blues are alive and well and still reign supreme within the region’s deep and proud blues tradition.

His Dad, Raful Neal, was Baton Rouge royalty whose colleagues and close friends included Buddy Guy and Slim Harpo. In fact, Neal cut his teeth playing bass in Buddy Guy’s band after being asked to join.

Neal’s 2016 release, Bloodline, was nominated for a 2017 Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues Album and also won Two Blues Music Awards that same year, one for Best Contemporary Blues Album and the other for Best Contemporary Male Blues Artist.

When not performing at local music venues and festivals in his home state of Louisiana or on the road with his band during the busy tour season, Neal can be found at Brookstown Recording Studio, his very own hometown creative space which he makes available to new and aspiring artists.

Kenny Neal and Quiana Lynell will be performing together at The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on April 25th.

Alexis P Suter Advises to Just Stay High on New Album Coming June 6th from Nola Blue Records

Lancaster, PA – Nola Blue Records announces the June 6th release of Just Stay High from The Alexis P. Suter Band, distributed by MVD Distribution.

Just Stay High emerged during the pandemic as a series of Zoom writing sessions among Suter, her long-time friends and collaborators Vicki Bell and Ray Grappone, and album co-producer Byron Isaacs (The Lumineers). A remote collaboration not unlike others yielding albums born during that time, as this unique project progressed, it took a powerful turn. Suter, Bell and Grappone reunited with original band mates, The Bennett Brothers (Jimmy Bennett and Peter Bennett), rekindling a brilliant, inextinguishable musical fire.

Suter explains, “Our writing journey began during the pandemic, at a time when we knew we needed to stay on the path of conscious creativity, spending many days collaborating and brainstorming to make our dream come to life. ‘Just Stay High’ is exactly what we did, and now through our gifts of music bring a message of consciousness for the world to heal.”

“All of the stories both lyrically and musically are about life; changes to cope with, some that we can’t change, things learned, observed and pondered when we had to slow down during the pandemic,” reflects vocalist Vicki Bell. “It all boils down to what really matters in life; ‘Love Always Wins.'”

Nola Blue Records president Sallie Bengtson observes, “It is striking to me how the transcendence of a live Alexis P. Suter Band performance is so powerfully conveyed in this recording. The emotional depth and intensity of the lyrics are masterfully cradled with music reflecting the myriad human emotions expressed. Whether peaceful pleas, euphonious joy or despair and outrage, Just Stay High is beyond musical entertainment; it is an emotional experience.”

Just Stay High is the creation of great minds and talent; a musical story spoken from the heart. Working with producer Byron Isaacs along with Will Bryant, brought extra hues to the band’s coloring book of ideas, yielding magical moments that pop right off the musical pages. Recording at The Building, owned by Lee Falco, added the incomparable and magical energy so familiar to The Alexis P. Suter Band from countless performances at the family’s venue, The Falcon, in Marlboro, New York. Isaacs, Bryant and Falco are also special guest musicians on the album.

“This album is a deep reflection of our journey as a band and as a family,” sums up Alexis P. Suter. We’ve been playing together for many years, and we’re always connected. These songs are a testimony, and a front row seat into our psyche.”

About The Alexis P. Suter Band
The Alexis P. Suter Band is a powerful and unique five-piece ensemble that artfully blurs the lines between Blues, Soul and Rock music. Three-time Blues Music Award nominee Alexis P. Suter owns that big, booming voice heard roaring out of Brooklyn, New York, into the heart of North America and beyond. Her voice ranges from a pained passion to explosive and soul bearing. The power trio of guitarist Jimmy Bennett, drummer Ray Grappone and bassist Peter Bennett lay down the groove like a heavy-duty Rhythm and Blues machine, and vocalist Vicki Bell rounds out the group.

The Alexis P. Suter Band burst on the music scene as regular performers at Levon Helm’s legendary Midnight Rambles in Woodstock, New York. The group has been making music together for nearly two decades. Now, during an exciting and transformative time, the band is exploring new musical creations, fusing genres with creative expression into fresh and innovative sounds.

The band is led by three-time Blues Music Award (BMA) nominee (including the ‘Koko Taylor’ and Best Soul Blues Female Artist award categories) Alexis P. Suter. Raised in Brooklyn, New York, by a musically gifted family, Suter was infused with the passion and belief that music is to be an emotional and spiritual experience. Miss Suter brings an abundance of love and energy into each of her performances. She was the first African American woman signed to Epic Sony Japan and had a number one dance hit in the ’90s called “Slam It, Baby.”

As one reviewer succinctly wrote, “Suter is as fascinating to watch as to hear… her molasses contralto can whisper and purr, then swell into a pulsating wave of sound that radiates from the depths of her being.”

Gulf Coast Records Artist Jimmy Vivino Will Appear on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tuesday, April 8th Sitting in with the Show’s House Band, Cleto and the Cletones

Rave Reviews Continue to Pour in on Guitarist’s Label Debut CD, Gonna Be 2 of Those Days, as He Tours Solo and as Special Guest on Bill Murray & His Blood Brothers Dates

“This is an album that’s meant to be played right this second and reap the rewards forever. Jimmy Vivino rules.” – Bill Bentley, Americana Highways

NEDERLAND, TX – Gulf Coast Records artist Jimmy Vivino, whose label debut album, Gonna Be 2 of Those Days, continues to draw rave reviews and extensive international radio airplay, will make a special appearance on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday, April 8th, sitting in with the show’s house band, Cleto and the Cletones.

Vivino, who is fresh off appearing on the “Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea” cruise, has been touring since his February 14th album release with non-stop solo dates, as well as special guest slots on selected shows of the hot ticket “Bill Murray and His Blood Brothers Tour.” Special guests on Gonna Be 2 of Those Days include Joe Bonamassa and John Sebastian.

Bill Murray and His Blood Brothers with Special Guest Jimmy Vivino Dates
Fri April 11 - Val Air Ballroom - Des Moines, IA
Sat April 12 - The Pageant - St. Louis, MO
Sun May 4 - The Fillmore - New Orleans, LA
Sun June 8 - Red Rocks Amphitheater - Morrison, Colorado

Although Jimmy Vivino is perhaps best known for his long-standing run with The Conan O-Brien TV show house band, his multi-faceted career stretches to movies, Broadway and radio, in addition to his extensive recordings of his own albums, as well as special guest appearances on many others.
A partial list of some of the artists he’s worked with, who he calls “family” and “mentors” who taught him the “ways,” includes Levon Helm, Phoebe Snow, Al Kooper, John Sebastian, James Cotton, Joe Louis Walker, Hubert Sumlin, Jimmie Vaughan, Johnnie Johnson, Laura Nyro, Odetta, Lowell Fulson, Son Seals, Donald Fagen , Darlene Love, Felix Cavaliere, Barry Goldberg, Nick Gravenites, Canned Heat with Fito de la Parra, Warren Haynes and just about anyone else who passed through New York City and needed a band that could play the Blues, Soul, Real Rock ‘n’ Roll and R&B.

Vivino summed it up by saying, “Being involved with the Conan show for 30 years has only deepened my experience and contact with people who stepped out of my record collection and into my life, and for that I am truly grateful.”

Nola Blue Records Celebrates Women’s History Month with Announcement of Upcoming New Albums from Blues Women
Maria Muldaur, , Candice Ivory: The Queen of Avant Soul and
Alexis P Suter

Lancaster, PA – Nola Blue Records is celebrating Women’s History Month with the announcement of three major new album releases this summer by Maria Muldaur, Candice Ivory and the Alexis P. Suter Band. In chronological order they are: June 6 – Just Stay High from The Alexis P. Suter Band; July 11 - One Hour Mama: The Blues of Victoria Spivey from Maria Muldaur; and August 8 - New Southern Vintage from Candice Ivory.
“According to The Library of Congress website, Women's History Month is a time for ‘commemorating and encouraging the study, observance and celebration of the vital role of women in American history,’" says Nola Blue Records president Sallie Bengtson. “During this year's Women's History Month, Nola Blue Records recognizes three outstanding women in music, each with their own unique backgrounds and accomplishments; each who will add their own fresh contribution to the humanities in 2025 through the enduring auditory gift of recorded music. We look forward to a sizzling summer soundtrack from the new albums by The Alexis P. Suter Band, Maria Muldaur and Candice Ivory.

“Among the many activities and accomplishments of these dynamic women, certain accolades deserve highlighting. Alexis P. Suter was the first African American woman signed to Epic Sony Japan and had a number one dance hit in the ’90s called ‘Slam It, Baby.’ Maria Muldaur is a multi-GRAMMY nominee who also was awarded the Americana Music Association's Lifetime Achievement Trailblazer Award in 2019. Candice Ivory, a 2025 GRAMMY nominee, embodies the Mississippi juke joint heritage of her ancestors as she fuses musical and visual arts to advance contemporary folk culture in the twenty-first century. These powerfully gifted, committed and dedicated women are important contributors to women's history in America, and we are honored to represent them.”

The Alexis P. Suter Band’s Just Stay High is the creation of great minds and talent; a musical story spoken from the heart. Working with producer Byron Isaacs (The Lumineers, Levon Helm Band, Lost Leaders), along with Will Bryant, brought extra hues to the band’s coloring book of ideas, yielding magical moments that pop right off the musical pages. Recording at The Building, owned by Lee Falco, added the incomparable and magical energy so familiar to The Alexis P. Suter Band from countless performances at the family’s venue, The Falcon, in Marlboro, New York. Isaacs, Bryant and Falco are also special guest musicians on the album.

“This album is a deep reflection of our journey as a band and as a family,” states Alexis P. Suter. “We’ve been playing together for many years, and we’re always connected. These songs are a testimony, and a front row seat into our psyche.”

On One Hour Mama: The Blues of Victoria Spivey, six-time GRAMMY nominee Maria Muldaur
honors her mentor, Classic Blues Queen Victoria Spivey. Known for her sassy, spunky Blues delivery, Spivey had her first big hit in 1926 with the self-penned risqué "Black Snake Blues", the first of many naughty, b***y Blues she wrote and recorded in her long and prolific career. As a Blues singer, she worked with many of the greats of her day: Louis Armstrong, Lonnie Johnson, Bessie Smith, Memphis Minnie, Blind Lemon Jefferson, etc., but expanded her career to include acting in movies & Broadway musicals throughout the ‘30s and ‘40s. During the folk and blues revival of the 1960s, Spivey started her own label, Spivey Records, giving recording opportunities to many old blues veterans as well as encouragement and support to budding new artists. She was the first to record Bob Dylan and offered Maria Muldaur her first opportunity to record, taking her under her wing and mentoring her in the fine points of performing and singing the blues. Now, more than 60 years later, Maria Muldaur presents an anthology of Spivey's blues, both well-known and obscure, in loving recognition of both her personal impact and her vast contributions to the genre.

"A few years ago, someone sent a review of my performance at the '64 Newport Folk Festival written by Victoria Spivey,” recalls Maria Muldaur. “It just blew my mind, as I never knew till that moment that she had written that. It was like she reached down from Blues Heaven to bestow her approval and encouragement once again to this blues disciple; a validation after all these years from someone who believed in me and my ability to deliver the blues way before I believed in myself! I am so grateful to have this opportunity to honor my mentor and hopefully acquaint newer generations of Blues lovers with her wonderful and unique legacy!”

Candice Ivory, the “Queen of Avant Soul,” takes the next step on her artistic journey with New Southern Vintage. Produced by Ivory, herself, the album spotlights Ivory’s soulful voice throughout, with contributions from a host of blues icons, including Jimmy "Duck" Holmes. Drawing upon all of Ivory's musical influences, from her great-uncle Will Roy Sanders' band, The Fieldstones, and her family's gospel roots to the deep blues of Bentonia, Mississippi, New Southern Vintage ushers in a new era of music.

Ivory explains, “My last album, When the Levee Breaks, was dedicated to Memphis Minnie, the patron saint of the blues. But New Southern Vintage is about the future – and how the distinct vocal styles of blues, jazz, and gospel can come together to become something greater: Avant Soul.”

Nathan McEuen Bio: nathanmceuen.com/bio.html

The songs on the new EP were all written or co-written by Nathan, including the title track, which he collaborated on with acclaimed songwriter/artist Mason Williams (Classical Gas, Smothers Brothers, SNL).

“In 2017, I reached out to my friend Mason Williams with an idea to write a song together; to my Delight, he agreed and invited me to his home in Oregon,” recalls Nathan McEuen about the genesis of the song. “Our initial plan was to create a single song for a movie. After a week of collaboration—filled with writing and invaluable mentoring—we did it! As luck would have it, we had some extra time in the studio and began working on a second song. We didn’t have the lyrics yet, so we focused on chords, melodic ideas, and a basic structure for what would become a second song.

“Fast forward seven years. After meeting the love of my life, getting married, and finding the inspiration I needed, I finally completed that second song and called it ‘My One and Only’ as a tribute to my beautiful wife, Tracy. My only hope after finishing it was that she would love it. It took about 20 tries to play it through without either of us crying—and that’s when I knew. Despite the tears, I could tell the song meant as much to her as it did to me.

“Months later, I began including ‘My One and Only’ in my live performances. It immediately resonated with audiences, who started asking where they could buy or stream it. That’s when I decided to record it in the studio, collaborating with the incredible Chris Caswell on piano (known for his work with The Muppets, Daft Punk, Tron, and John Denver). In just one take, we captured the essence of the song and brought my newest single, ‘My One and Only,’ to life.

“After sharing the recording with Mesa/Bluemoon, the idea for an EP came together. The project includes new versions of fan favorites like ‘Lately’ and ‘Up to No Good,’ as well as remixes of some of my most popular songs, including ‘Beautiful Night.’ I was humbled when Steve Martin, himself, said that “’'Beautiful Night’ is a song worthy of Jobim…great work!" This EP is a reflection of my journey, and I’m excited to share it with everyone.”

Nathan McEuen grew up surrounded by incredible music and talented musicians. By age four he started performing with his father, John McEuen (Nitty Gritty Dirt Band founder), and Nathan soon became a natural showman. With over 40 years of touring, more than 3,000 shows, and appearances on American Idol, The Stagecoach Festival, and the Grand Ole Opry, The Tonight Show, Music City Roots, Austin City Limits, XM/Sirius Radio, his music has reached audiences around the world.

Held in the highest esteem by his musical colleagues, Nathan has shared the stage with an impressive lineup of artists, including Bon Jovi, Steve Martin, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Kenny Loggins, Leon Russell, Mason Williams, Vassar Clements, Jay Leno, Billy Bob Thornton, John Carter Cash, Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood, Albert Lee, David Grisman, The Dillards, Dwight Yoakam, Carols Santana, Kiss, Dave Mason, Jim Messina, Gabriel Iglesias, John Denver, John Jorgenson, Michael Martin Murphey, David Crosby, Shawn Colvin, Colin Hay, Chris Stills, Richard Paige, Chris Issak, Jason Mraz, Steve Postell, Chris Hillman, Herb Peterson, John Oates, Kevin Nealon, John Hartford, Brett Dennen, Garfunkel & Oates, Jennifer Warnes, Blind Boys of Alabama, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, Malcolm McDowell, Paul Williams, Abe Laboriel, Ann-Margret, Ronny Cox, Chris Thile, Van D**e Parks, Laurie Lewis, Gary Morris, Gonzo the Muppet, and Russi Taylor (Voice of Minnie Mouse) and Hanna-McEuen (w/ his brother Jonathan, and cousin Jaime Hanna).

Alongside his EP, My One and Only for Mesa Bluemoon Recordings, Nathan co-produced The McEuen Sessions – For All the Good for the label in 2011 that was with his dad and his brother, Jonathan. He has also released several acclaimed albums through his independent label, Lint Records, including Grand Design, Festival, Scrapbook, McEuen Sessions, and Side by Side.

With a rich musical heritage, a lifelong passion for songwriting (200+ songs to date), and a love for storytelling, Nathan’s engaging performances showcase his artistry and dedication to his craft. Whether on stage or in the studio, his music continues to resonate with fans worldwide.
