• And no link, but at Paul Simon’s Philadelphia stop on his farewell tour he mentioned an album out in September. Commemorative concert programs (which I did not purchase) also apparently mention the album as being titled In The Blue Light.

 

• Brian Fallon has announced a new set of solo dates with The Hold Steady lead singer Craig Finn called Songs From the Hymnal. His Philadelphia stop is at the Keswick Theatre in Glenside on October 6.

• Some of NPR’s favorite new artists of 2018 include Thunderpussy (pictured), Snail Mail, and MILCK.
