    THE TOURMALINERS return with "El Gato" which just might be their best album yet!

    Text us about this show. It's rare these days that an artist or band releases a full album that is a great listen all the way through. In 2025 Los Straitjackets did it with Somos Los Straitjackets and now The Tourmaliners are set to drop their new album El Gato and it's one of the best complete surf albums I've ever heard. The entire album takes you back to the golden age of early 1960s surf guitar with all the great subgenres and associated themes that made—and still make—surf music unique and yet accessible to just about everyone. We debut a number of songs from El Gato and we dig into how it was recorded with Deven, Joe, John, and Matt. Enjoy! All songs featured on this show used with permission of The Tourmaliners and Pacific Records, Inc. "El Gato," "Creeky Door," "Phantom Break," "The Surfliner," "Monaco '66," "Waltz Noir," and "Blonde & Blue" written and performed by The Tourmaliners. ℗ 2026 Pacific Records.

    Text us about this show. It's been three years since The Gentlemen Grifters have been on Into The Music, but it seems that time has served them well.

Their new project, Chest of Lead, is set to drop on August 12 and it's their best batch of songs yet. We discuss the new album, the bonuses they've tossed in, but we focus on four of the brand new songs—one of them a special mix just for this show! These bluegrass boys have never sounded so good, so take a load off and enjoy this show. All songs used with the permission of The Gentlemen Grifters. Just ask 'em.

    GOLD STANDARD is taking bluegrass music to an entirely new level

    Text us about this show. According to their website, "Gold Standard is an all original progressive bluegrass band with heavy influences of soul, jazz, and folk." One listen to their EP, Better Than These Days, will bear that out. Kate Stenson, Ian Moore, Gregg Daigle, and Loren Dempster are taking traditional bluegrass sensibilities and layering on their influences from other genres in some very imaginative ways. What this means is that those who might not otherwise listen to bluegrass might find something new and fresh to dial their ears into. Gold Standard is bringing bluegrass to an entirely new level. "Better Than These Days" and "Magic Spell" and "Wrong Side of the Tracks" performed by Gold Standard written by Ian E. Moore ℗ 2026 Gold Standard Music. Used with permission of Gold Standard.
