Gar Hole Records has once again triumphed over chaos and had another killer year. Thank you to Sabine, Dylan, Nick, Jonny, Angela, Chris, Ramsey, and all of you folks for being a part of it. Special thanks to tiny snakes and throwing rocks in rivers on hot days in the summer.

2025 recap playlists are up on tidal, apple music, and spotify. Link in bio to listen now.

Four of the best records of the year are on sale now at garholerecords.com!

Sabine McCalla - “Don’t Call Me Baby”
“McCalla emerges as a fresh voice in Americana and folk music. Each song feels like a postcard, beckoning listeners to join her on a journey traversing a multitude of styles and sounds to form one that is simply her own.”


Nick Shoulders - “Refugia Blues”
“The way Nick Shoulders sings with such ease, you can almost take it for granted what a great singer he is, even when he’s not jumping through hoops, or standing on his head, but just singing a song that means something to him. Even a more muted and measured, and somewhat truncated Nick Shoulders is something to behold.”


Jonny Fritz - “Debbie Downers”
“There’s an old adage thrown around about great singers that they could sing the phone book and it would still be brilliant, but in Jonny Fritz’s case it wouldn’t only be brilliant, it would be filled with genuine pathos and touched with moments of genius.”


Dylan Earl - “Level Headed-Even Smile”
“On his fourth studio album . . . Earl makes clear that his is not a return to a bygone era so much as a carrying on of a long tradition of speaking truth to power and of imbuing dimension and worth into the lives of overlooked characters and issues too easily reduced to absolutes.”

Our final Gar Holeidays party is coming up next week! Thank you to Fayetteville Flyer & On The Map for putting together this interview about the show and our 2025.

https://fayettevilleflyer.com/2025/11/26/fayetteville-based-label-gar-hole-records-to-celebrate-gar-hole-idays-dec-5-6/

Now is a sweet time to get into the label's excellent roster, and a sweeter time to buy some records as gifts before the holiday season starts.

We did it. We made lists. Recs from all our 2025 artist partners. Purchase any of these titles via the link in bio - linktr.ee/gar.hole.recs

If you empathize with the plight of the independent artist and wanna do something to help, then just buy a record! The smaller the artist, the more of a difference your dollar makes, but honestly it’s getting harder for everyone at all levels in this business. If you have the means, consider spending some cash on the music that brought you joy this year. It is the main thing you can do to help artists not have to rely on some of these tech companies and platforms we all resent (like this one)

Making lists and sharing your favs is fun though and thank you to all our people for contributing their recs!

Gar Hole's own Chris Acker is back in Arkansas, and playing at George's Majestic, here in Fayetteville, TONIGHT with folk duo Mama's Broke. 

“When Keeler and Maria come together and sing, it’s magic, and they reaffirm how nourishing music can be”— 

"...in an era of music that often repeats the same sentiments with the same exhausted formula, it’s refreshing to hear somebody [Chris Acker] examine love and human emotion through an alternative scope." -

Tickets at the link in bio & tonight at the door

See y'all there!

TONIGHT - November 20th - 8:30pm
