That year, he also released his first Christmas album, "Merry Christmas From Jon Pardi", and celebrated his sixth No. 1 country radio hit, “Your Heart or Mine,” from his ACM Album of the Year-nominated "Mr. Saturday Night." Pardi’s previous albums have garnered critical and commercial success.

East coast instrumental phenomenon Scottish Fish present a fresh take on traditional and contemporary Scottish and Cape Breton music. Their lively and unique arrangements are woven together from session music handed down from generations of the tradition’s finest players, many of whom they have had the opportunity to share the stage with. These five young women have a very long and unique history: they began the band as elementary school children, and have remained together for the last decade. Now in their late teens and early twenties, their intense chemistry is clear in their performances and music. You won’t be able to keep your toes from tapping or hands from clapping, especially when experiencing their arrangements live. The Scottish Fish includes Ava Montesi on fiddle, Caroline Dressler on fiddle, Giulia Haible on cello and piano, Julia Homa on fiddle and piano, and Maggie MacPhail on fiddle and piano. In 2017, the group released their debut album, "Splash", and followed it with "Tidings", a five-track holiday EP, in 2019. Their newest record, "Upscale", produced by pianist and composer Neil Pearlman, was released in October, 2022, marking the band’s ten-year anniversary.

When singer, fiddler and songwriter Lily Henley set out to make an album of Sephardic Jewish ballads set to new melodies, she was looking for her own way to interpret a critically endangered tradition. On Oras Dezaoradas (out on Lior Éditions Records), Henley highlights the Ladino language, a threatened tongue that fuses old Spanish with Hebrew, Arabic, and Turkish elements that is spoken by less than 100,000 people in the world today. She found herself directly connected to centuries of women spread across a forced global diaspora. The album is not a reinterpretation project—Henley’s newly-penned songs and melodies are a reclamation and contribution, a living line between her musical roots in American and Celtic traditions and the rich history and culture of her Sephardi ancestors.
