Michael, meet Ally Venable and her excellent band. I have the YouTube algorithm to thank for learning about her music. The band brings a ton of rhythm & blues, ripping licks, and attitude to every song considering their relatively young ages.
Check out this video from a TED event. The guitar work and drum fills are top notch.
Enjoy!

This band has come on my radar as one of my favorite sounds. I started looking at live shows after they came to my town and I found this whole set. I think you should definitely check out Darlin (Second to last in the set) and Palmyra (fourth in the set), even though they're all worth watching.
Like all Jason Isbell songs, this hits hard right in the feelings and heart. As someone that has had addiction issues and dealt with a lot of the same themes, it hits like he wrote it for me, as his songs do. Love what you do and your humanity being forward, what we all need.
Bruce Hornsby is, in my mind, one of the most talented popular musicians of the last 40 years. I've loved this song since I was a kid, and never heard a version quite like this. Plus, Bruce doesn't even play piano in this, he plays an Appalachian Dulcimer!
Check this out. Yep, really.
