Modern day Booker T contemporary Adam Scone and his Hammond-backing band have been riding the heat wave of 2018’s Blast Furnace for awhile, and today they tighten up their funk-soul sockets even more with As The Screw Turns.
A record this impressive doesn’t need much more of an intro, so let’s celebrate New Music Friday with a pop, courtesy of “Canned Champagne”!

Dorio: “Plastic Heart” [Live In Studio 1A]
There’s something about every song by Austin’s Dorio that’s just sweet, sticky, and timeless.
