New & MidCoastal Releases + joel vs. joel + Guest Producer Jim Hubbell with “Sacred Samples: Tracing Back to the Roots”.

Mark spins more New & MidCoastal Releases from: The Matchsellers, Teri Quinn, Logan Richardson, Pool Culture, Stephonne, joel vs. joel, Waxahatchee and Kevin Morby. We’ll also play Queen Anne and Alabama Shakes.

At 10:30am we talk with Joel Stratton who performs as joel vs joel. Joel is a Kansas City-based multi-instrumentalist, with classical training, who has played and collaborated with the bands Supermoto, Eggs on Mars, and Daniel Gum. Stratton’s debut album, SMILE IN THE MIRROR is being released, August 19, 2025 through a new record label, Enigmatic Brunch Records, a “small batch” local record label with this being their very first album release. SMILE IN THE MIRROR is a protestation of struggles with identity, paranoia, suffering, anarchy, catharsis, and love. These innate human feelings are combined with instrumentation that is at times comfortably familiar and at others strikingly and pleasingly surprising.
