Nearly 70 years into his remarkable career, unsung soul hero Charles “Wigg” Walker may finally be getting his due.  “I feel more appreciated now than ever,” Walker reflects. “There’s something different about this album. It just feels right.” That unflagging faith and dedication forms the bedrock of Walker’s thrilling new record, This Love Is Gonna Last, which marks the 84-year-old journeyman’s first new release in well over a decade. Recorded with longtime organist and creative partner Charles Treadway, the collection is a masterclass in old-school R&B, shifting seamlessly between styles and eras as it bounces from Philly and Detroit to Memphis and Oakland to New York and LA with preternatural ease. Despite the record’s joyful presentation, there’s a melancholy that flows beneath the surface, a recognition of time’s inexorable march and the lessons and losses that come with it. The album is dedicated to Walker’s late wife, who passed away in 2024, and the couple’s relationship looms large here in songs about love, trust, and commitment. The result is the kind of record Walker’s been building towards for his entire career, a showcase not only for his unforgettable vocals, but also for the unparalleled sonic and emotional range that’s defined his work for more than half a century. “As a singer, ‘Wigg’ is capable of so many things,” says Treadway, who co-produced the record alongside Gary Gold (Smokey Robinson, Ivan Neville). “He can be a soul shouter with the best of them, but he can also sing ballads and jazz standards, and I wanted to make sure that versatility shines through here.”  

The McCrary Sisters perform gospel music that combines traditional and modern elements and draws on their love of Americana, blues, rock, and R&B. Their unbridled love of singing and desire to promote hope, love, and healing are at the heart of all of their work and performances (and dancing). Ann, Regina, Alfreda, and Deborah, daughters of the late Rev. Samuel McCrary, a founding member of the renowned gospel group The Fairfield Four, grew up in Nashville amidst music, artists, community, and faith. The daughters were brought up in harmony, singing in their father's church and at home. The sisters shared in their family legacy during their formative years by performing alongside performers like Bob Dylan, Elvis, Isaac Hayes, and Stevie Wonder. They also had many individual and collective successes. The McCrary Sisters, which they formally established in 2011, have since collaborated on songs or performed live with a number of well-known musicians, including Delbert McClinton, Black Keys, Martina McBride, Eric Church, Patty Griffin, Buddy Miller, Jonny Lang, Robert Randolph, The Winans, Donnie McClurkin, Rosanne Cash, Carrie Underwood, Hank Williams Jr., Dr. John, Widespread Panic, Sheryl Crow, Maren Morris, Gregg Allman and many more.

 After forty years of marriage, Buddy and Julie Miller have learned to welcome a song however it arrives, questioning only where the song is taking them rather than where it originated. There’s no process, no assembly-line procedure, just an openness to those bursts of inspiration and those hours of refinement, which means their fourth album together, In the Throes, sounds lively and diverse, eccentric and slightly askew: a deeply soulful collision of mournful gospel, dusty country, cosmic blues, ecstatic R&B, and anything else that crosses their minds.  Take “I Been Around,” a wild and otherworldly stomp that arrived in Julie’s brain one night. “I was asleep upstairs, and Buddy was downstairs in the studio,” she recalls. “I got up, walked downstairs, and sang a few notes for him to play on guitar. I sang the whole song in one take, then went back to bed.” She promptly forgot all about it. Buddy tinkered with it a little more that night, then he too forgot about it. “It almost got thrown away,” he says. “I only found it by accident, when I was erasing some old sessions. If it'd been erased, it would have been like it never even existed.” He loved what he found, which he describes as a “spontaneous mess,” like a signal from another world. Julie was less impressed. “I didn’t have any memory of it, and at first I wasn’t about to let it get out! But we played it for some friends and they all liked it. So I just gritted my teeth and let it go.”

Overview These days she’s fostering a passion for the electric bass and producing electronic music, but vocalist Annie Sellick is most known for twenty-five years of fronting jazz trios. She is known by everyone for her unique and undeniable stage presence, and an ability to use repertoire to share personal authenticity, and connect with the band members as well as everyone in the room.  “She doesn’t just sing, she swings, tells stories, shares her heart and celebrates simultaneously” (CDBaby fan post). An accomplished bandleader, she made her living for most of those years by honing relationships with jazz musicians in the areas she toured and traveling to them, sending arrangements in advance, rehearsing them at soundcheck and fleshing out the rest of the show by calling jazz standards and cuing style treatments that would feature the strengths of the musicians on her stage.  Her seasoned sense of rhythm, swing and phrasing makes obvious that she can (and has) hang with some of the top names in jazz.  She’s also had a life in gypsy swing and big band jazz orchestras, and performed with several known groups in those genres ,as well as lead her own. She’s released eight albums under her own label. Accolades "...Annie Sellick has the most pleasing standards voice I've heard in a long time." - Tom Hull, The Village Voice (more soon…updating, editing)   Recordings (more soon…updating, editing - or click the “shop” tab above to view a few)     Personnel Annie has toured, performed shows and/or recorded with Joey DeFrancesco Trio, Mark O’Connor’s Hot Swing, Gerald Clayton Trio, Tommy Emmanuel, Shelly Berg, Jeff Hamilton Trio, Tamir Hendleman, Bela Fleck, Jeff Coffin’s Mutet, Akira Tana, Taylor Eigsti, Bruce Forman, Howard Alden, Eddie Higgins Trio, Quentin Baxter, Chester Thompson, Josho Stephan, Stephane Wremble, , Beegie Adair, David Hazeltine, Grant Stewart Quartet, John DiMartino, Essiet Okon Essiet, Victor Jones, Kevin Bales, Paul Keller, Eddie Metz Jr., Chuck Berghofer Beginnings One evening in a “dive bar” near the college she attended in Middle Tennessee, Annie sat in with guitarist Roland Gresham (Sr.) and his band.  Having little background in music study or exposure to jazz, the only tunes she recognized were “Fever” and “Somewhere over the rainbow” which she delivered with such sincere personality and lyrical interpretation that it brought the house down and the band hired her on the spot to encourage her.  She recalls getting the names of jazz singers, writing them down on her hand, tracking down their albums, learning the tunes a few at a time and returning to the club to decipher a key before the show and then get up and sing them, quickly using her hear to navigate intros, endings, solos and improvisational cues.  This weekly gig inspired her to hone her craft by attending classes at the Nashville Jazz Workshop where she became their first work-study and developed the skills to confidently assemble her own bands.  She returned to her hometown of Nashville, TN where news about this charismatic, pixie-faced young jazz singer with long dread-locks spread like wildfire, a unique addition to Music City’s country-music-soaked climate.  Garnering a lot of media attention in Nashville including five consecutive “Best Jazz Artist”awards by readers on the Nashville Scene and having the top-selling local artist album at Tower Records for an amazing two-year stretch, she started catching the eye of jazz industry professionals and it’s players, quickly taking her work beyond Nashville to Los Angeles, New York, Montreal, Europe, Japan, etc…
