Aaron Nathans & Michael G. Ronstadt are finalists for four Homey Awards, including Album of the Year! The Homeys are the regional awards in the Delaware Valley, sponsored by WSTW. The other nominations are best folk song (Old Film), best Americana song (Northwind), and best collaboration (Hang On for the Ride).

The start of October marks our album release month. I hope you’ve been able to keep up on all the exciting goings-on at nathansandronstadt.com. The month culminates with release shows at Rockwood Music Hall in New York (10/27) and Burlap and Bean in metro Philly (10/28). Check out this story from the Doylestown Intelligencer! We have other shows on the schedule. We hope to see you out there.

The new Nathans & Ronstadt album is released on Oct. 27, and we’re lining up dates for the fall, winter and spring. There will be more to come, but for now you can see some of them on our gigs page.

Yes, Aaron Nathans & Michael G. Ronstadt have completed our second album! If you liked “Crooked Fiddle,” well, this album is the next chapter. It’s like the last album, only more so. We can’t wait to share it with you. We’d love your support as we raise funds to print and promote this album. You can hear music clips from the new album within our Kickstarter video here.

Michael Ronstadt and I are looking forward to playing two shows in New England later this month, a Vermont house concert on Friday, 4/28 at the home of Mary Trerice & Karl Bissex, and Lakeview House Concerts in Sharon, Mass on 4/30. If you’re in the area, come join us!
