Langhorne Slim has earned his dedicated fanbase with over 15 years of folky acoustic ballads which have helped define the modern Americana genre. On Jan. 29, Slim delighted fans with a new album, "Strawberry Mansion," that can only be described as a timely yet sobering work of art. "Strawberry Mansion" addresses everything from the pandemic to social inequality to sobriety to religion in 22 stunning songs.

Anyone walking near the 1200 block of Wertland Street on Friday evening would’ve been privy to a rare instance of live music during the pandemic, courtesy of the Wertland Street Band. Fourth-year Batten Student Nikki Gerszten, fourth-year Commerce student Chris Benedetti, second-year Engineering student Alex Hails and fourth-year College student Caroline Strickland have been playing pop-up concerts on the front porch of Gerszten’s Wertland Street home to a socially distanced crowd since the beginning of the semester.

Dawes — a California-based folk-rock band — has spent the last decade making a name for themselves with heavy, melancholy lyrics and a beautiful blend of acoustic and electric instrumentalism. Their simply-produced style is reminiscent of the best soft rock the 60s and 70s had to offer, and their seventh studio album stays true to form. Overflowing with themes of nostalgia, maturity, stagnance and moving on, “Good Luck with Whatever” makes a case for being Dawes’ best album to date.
