Nick Garza’s Get Along: “Denial” (feat. Kelsey Wilson)

By: Jack Anderson

Historically, singer-guitarist Nick Garza’s been known as co-founder of Austin’s premiere “stomp-folk” group, Hello Wheels. But amongst the bevy of revelations that’ve unfolded in 2020, you might’ve missed the launch of his eponymous country project, Nick Garza’s Get Along this past summer. The Get Along came out of the gate strong with a collaboration between Garza, Augie Meyers, and Los Texmaniacs, showing off the songwriter’s penchant for classic country composition, rooted even deeper by his rich baritone.

Nick Garza’s Get Along’s debut record Heartbreak and Enchiladas still needs some more time before its ready to come out of the oven, but last week we were treated to a Thanksgiving appetizer featuring Sir Woman, Glorietta, and Wild Child vocalist Kelsey Wilson. “Denial” is a pretty straightforward two-step tune, but the chemistry between Wilson and Garza as they trade bars is something that’ll make you want to revisit the single several times over, and maybe even try it out with a karaoke partner in the future.

David Quinn: “Long Time Gone”

Nourishing, gritty, wood-smoked, and road-worn are all words that have been appropriately (and lovingly) used to describe the Americana songwriting of Illinois’s David Quinn. The upcoming album Down & Dirty was written purely for the joy of the game, and boy does it show. Quinn sticks to his compelling and illustrative storytelling with licks and […]
