LISTEN: Pi Jacobs, “Broken Cup” (Intro & Live)

Posted on by Editor

Artist: Pi Jacobs
Hometown: San Francisco, California
Song: “Broken Cup” (Intro & Live)
Album: Live From Memphis
Release Date: August 13, 2021
Label: Blackbird Record Label

In Their Words: “In my late teens and early 20s I wasn’t a person with a much of self-esteem; in fact, I thought pretty damn poorly of myself, so I was habitually getting into relationships with people who would reaffirm my feelings of unworthiness, unlovability, or being damaged goods. I was lucky though — a couple of amazing mentors showed up in my life and wouldn’t let me scare them off. They helped me to start seeing myself in a new and better light, so, by the time I hit 25, I was ready to try some new kinds of relationships. The problem was, I had to learn ALL NEW stuff! I hadn’t operated in the land of ‘healthy’ relationships before, and it felt like I didn’t know how to do ANYTHING, even little things, like returning phone calls. I started to feel as scared and unequipped as Bambi in the middle of a six-lane freeway, but I had had enough of my old ways, so I started to try, and I got very lucky by meeting my now-husband.” — Pi Jacobs

Artist: The Dead South
Hometown: Regina, Saskatchewan
Song: “The Recap” (Live)
Album: Served Live
Release Date: January 29, 2021
Label: Six Shooter Records

In Their Words: “It’s been tough not being able to do what we love. Playing live shows is a part of who we are and it has been ingrained in us to work hard and put on a great show night after night, and we miss the hell out of it! Putting out a live record is the next best thing to keeping these feelings alive and strong. We hope this live album brings people great feelings and sparks memories of unforgettable nights with us.” — Nate Hilts

“‘The Recap’ was one of the first songs we ever wrote. It was also the first music video we filmed. This song really helped kickstart this whole thing, and we’re happy it’s become such a fan favourite.” — Colton Crawford

WATCH: The Rough & Tumble, “You’re Not Going Alone”

Posted on by Editor

Artist: The Rough & Tumble
Hometown: On the road permanently, with a P.O. Box in East Nashville
Song: “You’re Not Going Alone”
Album: We’re Only Family If You Say So
Release Date: February 19, 2021

In Their Words: “Written in the spring of 2019 in a borrowed kitchen in Michigan, one week after the collapse of our family. This song is one that was written into the darkness, realizing that we could never go home again — not in the way we always have, if at all. But those things — like the maple tree in the front yard, or the blackberry bushes — those can still be ours. As difficult and traumatic as family severance is, we decided we didn’t have to lose everything. We didn’t have to be alone. We have as much right to a family to call our own as the family that won’t call us their own, anymore.” — Scott Tyler and Mallory Graham, The Rough & Tumble
