Dylan LeBlanc
Dylan LeBlanc is engaging and soft-spoken in person, yet his striking new album Renegade reflects the power of his live show – one that he simply describes as rock ‘n’ roll. While the album was recorded in just 10 days and tracked in three, the intensity of the project marks the culmination of more than a decade on the road.
“I like the idea of a renegade -- branching off from society or from the structure of the way our world is designed,” he says of Renegade, his first album for ATO Records. “It felt right to call it that. I wanted to write about the crueler, nasty aspects of the world and life.”
David Ramirez
The Austin, TX-based singer-songwriter—whose decades-long career has seen six full length studio albums, three EPs, countless collaborations, and an illustrious supergroup project in Glorietta—spent a season of rest away from his focus on writing songs. In the wake of the end of a long relationship, he wanted to prioritize processing his grief as a human, not as an artist bleeding on the page.
David’s new record “All the Not So Gentle Reminders,” which comes out March 21, 2025 via Blue Corn Music is exactly what he was waiting for. The 12-song album is an expansive succession of dreamlike songs that tell his stories, yes—but more than anything lean into the possibilities of the trip that music can take us on.“I’ve been a songwriter for a long time. I love words and stories. But this was about music. I wanted the long musical intros and outros [as on “Dirty Martini”, “Twin Sized Beds”, “A Bigger World”, and “Dreams Come True”] to contribute to the stories and be apart of them.”
