While many found 2020 challenging; Bay Area Native, Tommy Odetto took a massive leap of faith. He packed up his guitars, left all that he knew behind and made himself a new home in Milwaukee, WI. Like so many musicians, 2020 left Odetto with a lot of free time on his hands. He wrote a lot of music. He reinvigorated his love for the blues. He networked virtually and performed live streams with @rockthegreen @cooperagemke @amplifiedartistsessions and more; which got him connected with some of Wisconsin’s greatest talents. As a result, he found himself recording new music at Milwaukee’s Hamtone Studios with Producer and Engineer @hamtoneaudio (Beatallica, Violent Femmes) and Percussionists @cheaptrickdaxx (Cheap Trick) and @johnnyradelat (Gary Clark, Jr.). Soul on Arrival is his proclamation to a life dedicated to sobriety and chasing his dream of rock and roll. It features Odetto’s searing guitar licks that he is known for along with a heavy influence of the grit and passion of the delta blues. Think Stevie Ray Vaughan meets Robert Johnson with a dash of John Frusciante to keep listeners on their toes. There is no one genre that sums up Odetto’s sound. He is inspired by all music and it shows in his energy and style.

The sound of Wolf Jett will make you dance, sing, and possibly even howl! Its roots run deep through the soul and help heal the heaviness of life. Their music is a celebration of perseverance, infusing folk, blues and americana into what can only be described as "Cosmic Mountain Music.” Frontman Chris Jones was born in the south and raised in CA. His songs combine the best of both worlds to create a vibe that is fresh, yet immediately familiar to a broad audience. He is joined by long-time musical collaborator Jon Payne on drums, Duncan Shipton on bass, Will Fourt on dobro/guitar. Often featuring Laura T. Lewis on vocals/percussion.
