David Ramirez took a little time to get back to himself, and now he’s dead set on making music for himself—for the sake of the music, and nothing else. “I love all the records I’ve made in the past,” says Ramirez. “But in making them, there was always the thought in the back of my mind of where and what it could get me. I made both creative and business decisions with a goal in mind; a goal that often never came. This time it was all about just the joy of making it, about having fun with it.”The Austin, TX-based singer-songwriter—whose career has seen six full-length studio albums, three EPs, countless collaborations, and an illustrious supergroup project in Glorietta—spent a season of rest away from his focus on writing songs. In the wake of the end of a long relationship, he wanted to prioritize processing his grief as a human, not as an artist bleeding onto the page.
“The last thing I wanted was to write a heartbreak record. So I stopped writing altogether, and I just waited until I saw my heart start coming back to life. I wanted the next thing to be hopeful and sweet and beautiful—a testament to music and my love for it.”
Ramirez’s new record, All the Not So Gentle Reminders, is exactly what he was waiting for. The 12-song album is an expansive succession of dreamlike songs that in deed tell his stories—but more than anything, lean into the possibilities of the trip that music can take us on.“I’ve been a songwriter for a long time. I love words and stories. But this was about music. I wanted the long musical intros and outros [as heard on “Dirty Martini,” “Twin Sized Beds,” “A Bigger World,” and “Dreams Come True”] to contribute to the stories and be a part of them.”
Sharon Silva is a Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter known for her emotionally resonant lyrics and powerful, expressive voice. As a founding member of the indie-folk band The Wild Reeds, Silva helped shape their signature harmony-driven sound before stepping into her solo career. Her music blends indie rock, folk, and Americana, often exploring themes of grief, personal growth, and the complexity of relationships. She has shared the stage with The Lone Bellow, Dylan LeBlanc and Damien Jurado, and has released a series of lyrically rich, anthemic singles—such as "People to Please," "Monogamy," and "Hold It Down"—that showcase her ability to balance sensitivity with strength.
Her debut album, "Underachiever" is out October 24th and includes contributions from Christian Lee Hutson, Al Menne (Great Grandpa), and Harrison Whitford (Phoebe Bridgers).
