Valgur
Following the unique blend of vampire synthpop and Zapotec poetry of 2019’s Zapandú, Oaxacan siblings Valgur deepened their references with anime theme songs, Eighties sophisti-pop, and Christian prog rock on the confounding epic, Armaggedon. From the disco-tinged attacks on gender normativity of “Máscara de Niña,” to the post-punk incantations of “El Castillo De La Pureza,” Valgur handily delivered one of the year’s most thrilling mindfucks. — R.V.

Brad Walker
Brad Walker is one of the most active and sought-after performers in the city of New Orleans. Perhaps best known for his “soaring” (Rolling Stone), “energetic” (NPR), and “tasteful” (Relix) solos on Saturday Night Live, the 2017 Grammys, and the Tonight Show with Nashville mega-star Sturgill Simpson, Walker is an active and compelling artist in his own right, with seven full-length releases under his own name and a decade plus of music-making in the Crescent City under his belt. His 2014 debut, ‘Quintet’, received a 4-**** review in DownBeat magazine, and his playing has received praise in the Times-Picayune, Variety, OffBeat Magazine, Gambit Weekly, and many others.
In 2020, Walker was nominated for two ‘Best of the Beat’ Awards (OffBeat Magazine), in the ‘Contemporary Jazz’ category as ‘Best Artist’ and for ‘Best Record’ (for ‘Live at Snug Harbor’), alongside such international stars as Nicholas Payton, Jon Batiste, Herlin Riley, Christian Scott, and Terence Blanchard. He was also nominated by the ‘Big Easy Awards’ (Gambit Magazine) as ‘Best Contemporary Jazz Artist’. These two award ceremonies are considered the pinnacle of achievement in the New Orleans music community. He was again nominated as ‘Best Saxophonist’ and ‘Best Contemporary Jazz Artist’ by OffBeat in 2021, as well as receiving a nomination for ‘Best Contemporary Jazz Album’ for The Dockside Sessions’.
Since 2009 Walker has performed or recorded with such luminaries as Bernard Purdie, Peter Erskine, John Riley, George Porter, Jr., Anders Osborne, Ivan Neville/Dumpstaphunk, Marcia Ball, Rickie Lee Jones, Valerie June, Alex Ebert, Better than Ezra, U2 (w/Hal Willner), Zigaboo Modeliste and countless others, and has led the horn sections for Blues Award-winner Ana Popovic and OffBeat Award winners Eric Lindell, Johnny Sketch and the Dirty Notes, Honey Island Swamp Band, and Colin Lake. Since 2016 he has worked with New Orleans native PJ Morton, recording on multiple Grammy Award-winning and -nominated records, and performing on ‘The Today Show’, ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’, ’BET Gospel Super Bowl’, and other national programs.

Ben de la Cour
“A friend took me to see Ben de la Cour at a little hole-in-the-wall in Nashville. It didn’t take long to realize I was in the presence of greatness. He has much to say, and knows how to say it as only a true poet can. You owe it to yourself to check him out. He is important. You need this bright young talent now more than ever. We all need Ben de la Cour”
– Lucinda Williams
Ben de la Cour’s visceral songwriting grabs you by the heart and doesn’t let go. Weaving evocative stories of desperate characters with his signature “Americanoir” sound, de la Cour shines an empathetic, raw, and at times bleak light on the human condition. New Roses, Ben de la Cour’s sixth album, is a claustrophobic yet hopeful record that is by turns gritty and bleak and soaring and beautiful, building to a heart-wrenching story of reckoning and resilience.
Grammy shortlisted in 2023 for his fifth record Sweet Anhedonia, de la Cour has drawn praise from critics, colleagues, and listeners alike while receiving accolades from American Songwriter, The Telegraph, NPR and more. Heralded as a “prodigious storyteller” (Twangville) and “a standard bearer for Southern Gothic Americana” (Folk Radio UK), de la Cour has been praised for his vivid and powerful lyrics. “Ben de la Cour is hands down one of the best songwriters around,” singer-songwriter Jim White, who produced de la Cour’s last album, says, “he’s a true raconteur, which elevates him to full troubadour status.”
Raised in Brooklyn, de la Cour lived in London, Cuba and across the United States before making his home in the American south over a decade and a half ago. Drawing on inspiration from writers and musicians alike—Townes Van Zandt, Jimi Hendrix, Nick Cave, Nina Simone, Leonard Cohen, James Baldwin and Carson McCullers among them—de la Cour’s gothic folk songs are as heartbreaking as they are beautiful.
