Erykah Badu and Gary Clark Jr. will headline Music at the Intersection, taking place in St. Louis September 10-11. The R&B and blues icons are joined on the festival's second-year lineup by international indie soul group Hiatus Kaiyote, blues guitarist Buddy Guy, and more.

The film explores the life and music of Elvis Presley (Butler), seen through the prism of his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker (Hanks).

Directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Chloe Zhao and set to Clark’s version of the National Anthem and his original song, “Numb,” “A Clydesdale’s Journey” sees a Budweiser Clydesdale running across a mountain plain as Gary’s haunting slide guitar sets the tone. Created by VaynerMedia and directed by Zhao, watch a 60-second version of the comercial!

Suzanne Santo will kick off the beginning of her 2022 tour on January 28th with a show in Denver, followed by shows in Seattle, Portland, Phoenix, Nashville, and more. Santo wrote the album’s 12 songs between a farmhouse on the Irish coast, long bus rides, backstage writing sessions, and hotel stays—all during a world tour with Hozier.

Clark achieved global impact following his first Grammy Award® in 2014 winning Best Traditional R&B Performance for the track “Please Come Home” from his Warner Records debut album Blak And Blu, and seemingly never left the road. 2015’s The Story Of Sonny Boy Slim wrought hard- won international acclaim as a critical force to be reckoned with.

As previously announced, Baz Luhrmann has cast Austin Butler as Elvis Presley in the film. Joining Butler and Academy Award-winner Tom Hanks as Colonel Tom Parker are Olivia DeJonge, Gary Clark, Jr., Yola, Lenesha Randolph, Jordan Holland, Shonka Dukureh, Shannon Sanders, Kelvin Harrison Jr. and Alton Mason.

Upon returning home, Los Angeles became stale for Santo as the city is wont to do. A partner breakup paired with the hiatus of HoneyHoney left her feeling lonely in her own home—sparking the cosmic relocation to Austin, TX—a city whose fingerprints are all over Yard Sale.

“A lot of people have faced adoption and abandonment, but it’s not really talked about as to how that affects people and I thought it was important to be a beacon of hope for those people. To stand for something and prove not everyone has to be a stereotype or statistic.” 

“This Big Blue” is both a call-out song and an R&B ballad for the disenfranchised. Frank’s nervy melody and moving lyrics convey the gravity of her message. It evokes retro, yet, timeless feels.

The band's gritty blues-rock sound draws from classic blues legends like Robert Johnson, the raw style of R. L. Burnside and modern artists such as The Black Keys, Gary Clark Jr. and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.

This tribute to the late singer was produced by Bill Bentley (executive producer of the 1990 Erickson tribute album, Where The Pyramid Meets The Eye, on Sire Records) with associate producers Matt Sullivan (co-founder/co-owner of Light in the Attic Records) and Wyatt Bentley

About the new track, Speers explains, “Like a lot of people I think I've spent more time thinking about death recently, and this song developed out of that. How blind death is and also how certain it is.

Chase Frank, originally from Long Beach, CA, but who currently resides in Austin, TX, has released five solo albums, and four with her band The Harms - a surfy, garage band founded at the prompting of long-time friend and Producer, Ikey Owens (RIP).
