Bart Budwig has a favor to ask. And YES, there’s something in it for you.

Pre-saving and following will get you EXCLUSIVE access to unreleased PHOTOS and a recording of the LIVE DEMO that would eventually evolve into the record.

“Sometimes when Bart sings, I forget what we’re talking about. I’m sure he knows though. I trust him. He sounds like John Prine, plays like Hoyt Axton, and looks like well… Bart Budwig. He’s a cosmic country lawn gnome.”

– Sean Jewell, American Standard Time

We’ve been big fans of Bart Budwig for years, so it gives us great pleasure to announce that we’ll be working together. Finally! Sometimes when I hear Bart sing, I swear his voice fills up some hole in my heart that I didn’t even know I had. He knew it all along though.

Bart Budwig is a son of Idaho, a cosmic country crooner, a rousing trumpet player, and cryin’-style soul singer. His music is made up of seemingly incongruous parts; thrum & strum country rhythms, jazz guitar melodies, R&B vocals. When Bart sings he draws out words into meditative mantras, whole note neologisms that keep you hanging on until his raspy voice trails off in a ragged edge. His forthcoming album, Another Burn On The AstroTurf  was recorded over five days by a seven-piece band inside the OK Theater. It’s a melancholy rhapsody that recalls the uncorked rock n’ roll spirituality of king mystic Van Morrison, the gloomy nostalgia of dark prince Nick Drake and the songcraft sans self-seriousness of 70s Muscle Shoals.

Check out the first single, “Human Again”, a “spiritually charged nugget of country-folk”, which premiered today at Glide Magazine.

Another Burn on the AstroTurf will be released on January 24, but you can pre-order it HERE today on Limited Edition Clear Vinyl, Black Vinyl, Silver CD, or digitally.
