Head here to have a listen to this week’s full episode of Grass Roots.
Hana And Jessie-Lee’s Bad Habits – The Tallest Of Tales
Sewing twang, lyrical wit and late-night musings into a captivating country-soul heart, Hana And Jessie-Lee’s Bad Habits craft sauntering, hook-laden tapestries drenched in rock-and-roll swagger. The Tallest Of Tales is the second single to be released off the upcoming second album from the Bad Habits.
Jordan Merrick – The Painting
Occupying the middle ground between folk and blues-rock, Jordan Merrick is a world-class storyteller. The troubadour’s latest single, The Painting is lifted from his brand new album Winner Take Nothing.
Laura Frank – Kiss My
Laura Frank, winner of Most Promising Future Star at the 2023 People’s Choice Awards, returns with her cheeky new single Kiss My. The track instantly evokes Western nostalgia, visions of endless desert peppered with cacti and tumbleweed conjured by its twangy guitar and clip-clop beat. Laura wholly embraces the cliché.
