She is a prominent member of the LGBTQ+ community in Los Angeles and a founding member of the Trans Chorus of Los Angeles. Alexa’s recently completed short film, Emotional Labor, begins its festival run later this year.

Dogfish Head, the “Official Brewery of Record Store Day,” collaborates with multi-platinum, chart-topping recording artist and American Country Music Awards 2021 “New Male Artist” Award-winner, Jimmie Allen, on a limited-edition vinyl and music video. Dropping on Record Store Day (Saturday, June 12), an annual celebration of independently owned record stores, the album features three of Jimmie’s hits and a brand-new song co-authored by Dogfish Head Founder & Brewer, Sam Calagione. Named for the brewery’s oat milk-centric hazy IPA, both the record and its leading track are titled Hazy-O!, and they are best enjoyed with a beer in-hand. Grab a copy, drop the needle and let the “Good Times Roll.”

“Each year for Record Store Day, we collaborate with a different musical artist, but this is the first time we’ve partnered with someone in the country music realm,” said Sam. “Jimmie’s connection to Delaware – he grew up just a mile from our brewery in Milton – made this collaboration feel like kismet and effortless. Not to mention, he (like all of us at Dogfish Head) is a beer geek with a music problem! Having the opportunity to personally create a song with Jimmie was a thrill for me and we are super proud of the results.”

Hazy-O! is a four-track vinyl with the following tunes: “Hazy-O!,” “Happy Hour,” “Slower Lower” and “Good Times Roll”. “Happy Hour” and “Slower Lower” were originally as part of Jimmie’s Slower Lower Sessions in 2018, while “Good Times Roll” is featured on his critically-acclaimed EP Bettie James, released July 2020. These easy-going, day-drinking anthems pair perfectly with any off-centered ale, but the record’s title track, “Hazy-O!,” is best enjoyed alongside a can of its namesake beer. Hazy golden in color, Hazy-O! is an “ooooh-so” juicy hazy IPA brewed with four types of oats – malted, rolled, naked and oat milk. Smooth, refreshing and chock full of tropical fruit notes, this summer-sipper’s attributes and taste profile acted as the liquid muse for Sam and Jimmie’s cooperative tune.

“It’s always cool working with Dogfish Head, it’s another chapter in a relationship we’ve built,” said Jimmie. “Looking forward to people hearing the record and seeing the music video.”

Drawing musical inspiration from the likes of Kenny Chesney, Bob Marley and Bob Dylan, – or as Sam calls them, “the great musical triad” – “Hazy-O!” offers a beachy, sunset-kind-of vibe with a chorus that will have everyone singing along. “Hazy-O!’s” lyrics come to life in a seaside music video starring Jimmie and Sam. The video features folks enjoying the Delaware coastline’s many natural wonders: beaching, boating, fishing and more, and concludes with a shot of the “hazy-o” sun setting over the water. Get a sneak peek, here. The full video drops on Record Store Day.

But that’s not all! Dogfish Head will continue the Record Store Day celebration at its new Miami brewpub with the release of Sweat? … Sweet! Brewed in collaboration with Sweat Records, one of Miami’s greatest music hubs, Sweat? … Sweet! (5.4% ABV) is a tart ale brewed with jackfruit, tamarind, cardamom and sea salt. With a punch of tangy fruitiness balanced by a slightly spicy, umami-forward finish, Sweat? … Sweet! will be available beginning at 12 p.m. on Saturday, June 12 for just $16 per 4pk/16oz cans. Those in attendance will also have the chance to win a selection of Record Store Day-themed giveaways, including a copy of Jimmie Allen’s new Record Store Day album, Hazy-O!, and a Dogfish Head Bumpboxx.

In addition to the release of Sweat? … Sweet!, guests visiting Dogfish Head Miami this weekend can enjoy the first of the brewpub’s “Waffle Party Brunch” events. Slated for Sunday, June 13 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Dogfish Head Miami’s “Waffle Party Brunch” will be hosted in collaboration with Sweat Records. Chow down on some delicious brunch dishes while listening to live vinyl music by PHAXAS.

Vela Rosa’s latest single new album “Run in Colour” encapsulates their sound and vibe fabulously. This Canadian rock and roll band is relatively new to the music scene, but that is in no way evident through their music. Their sound makes it seem like they’ve been doing this their whole lives. Their main influences are classic rock bands from the 70s and grunge rock bands from the 80s and 90s. But because most of the band members are only about 20 years old, there is a small hint of modern alternative rock (we really hear some Arctic Monkeys in there). 

Lead single “All We Need” is a bluesy alt rock banger that serves as an outlet for the guys of Vela Rosa to speak on the counterculture movement of the 1960s, with a modern twist. This song is a commentary on the ostracization of queerness, and a criticism of the people in the world who align their political views with hate. “With a groovy bassline, simple guitar licks, and a smooth, half-time beat to tie it all together,” explains the band, “All We Need” explores the freedom of loving whomever we love without consequence. The bassline is, in fact, super groovy. It ties the song together in a way that a rhythm guitar couldn’t. The chord progressions in general create such a happy, nostalgic feeling, and the bassline adds so much to that positive vibe. The catchy, feel-good chorus definitely helps with that positive vibe, as well. Then, the outro of the song turns to half-time. “We all need someone worth chasing…” desperately repeats the singer over an 8-bar vamp, making the perfect ending to the perfect song. We love the inclusivity of the track, and its message could be as legendary as “All You Need Is Love” by The Beatles. We can’t wait to hear what more they have in store!

“Wildflower” is the latest song from Lenci, an emerging singer and songwriter who hails from Raleigh, North Carolina. 

This new song gives us a taste of Lenci’s vocal purity and ability for range of low and high notes that is both clear and emotive. There is a rawness about her voice that you can hear even when mixed with instrumentation, including piano, and backing vocals.

“Wildflower” is a much more polished production than previous singles from this young and talented artist. 

Lenci currently has 3 EP’s available for streaming online. Her debut EP “Hopeless Romantic”, was also released with an acoustic version entitled “Hopeless Romantic Acoustic.” She states on her website bio that it was important for her to have this purity of voice and live instrumentals recorded. 

Since the release of her first single, “Love Dimension”, Lenci has performed at various locations in the Triangle area of Raleigh, North Carolina. Most recently, Lenci was chosen by Carolina Waves of North Carolina to be a Featured Artist for a showcase where artists such as Noname and J. Cole have also performed. 

We can’t wait to hear more from this emerging and highly talented young artist! 

Check out “Wildflower” now on Soundcloud, and stay current with Lenci on her Website and social media Facebook and Instagram. 

BLUFF is a Russian-born, Canadian electronic music artist who bridges the gap between organic and digital realms. Making his musical start as a teen in various rock bands, playing guitar and singing, BLUFF discovered electronic music and never looked back. His work gets its distinct sound by combining his love of older alternative music, great songwriting and fresh sounds. 

New single, “Fight The Feeling,” features singer Ehlee and is also BLUFF’s first collaboration with songwriter Lydia Sutherland. Inspiration came from chord progressions – the element that makes BLUFF dream. Lyrically, the song touches on overthinking aspects of a new relationship.

Started in 2012, The Ruddy Ruckus has evolved from a small-time singer-songwriter project to a tour de force garage rock phenom. Jackson Dorie, Pat Brown, Giordano Modesto and Rob Brown lay down punk, indie and classic rock-inspired riffs and choruses that sound in line with the band’s name. Midrange, buzzsaw guitars act as a kick to the listener’s teeth, while the deep bass and cracking snare drum make up a groove that cannot be ignored.

Produced by The Dirty Nil’s Luke Bentham, new single, “Hold On My Love,” is baked in a certain brand of folky nostalgia that revisits more innocent times. As the message of the song is to hunker down and wait out the storms that life throws at us, there is a certain romanticism in the idea that things were better or easier in the past.
