New Releases
 Max Allen Band - Everyone Thinks You're Weird CD - Max Allen Band (MAB) is the brainchild and workhorse of singer/songwriter/guitarist/producer Max Allen. For over a decade, Allen and MAB have kept audiences all over the country coming back for more of the wide variety of genres, incredible musicianship, thoughtful lyrics and contagious melodies that each show brings.
Everyone Thinks You’re Weird features many new territories for the band. Everything from pop to progressive rock to dubstep to calypso and more can be heard all while bringing out Max Allen’s signature vocal and guitar sound.
 Tea Leaf Green - In the Wake CD - San Francisco's Tea Leaf Green have finally harnessed their considerable live mojo into a gorgeously sculpted studio counterpart that reflects the quintet's bounteous creativity, instrumental dexterity, and dedicated songwriting chops. This is an album in the classic sense, a wide spectrum journey one takes knowing steady hands will stir one through the shifting currents. Co-produced by Jeremy Black (Apollo Sunshine) at Oakland's increasingly hot Coyote Hearing Studio, In The Wake wriggles and glows with life, a chronicle of survivors thriving through myriad challenges, the bubbling product of a rugged, dented determination to seek beauty and truth in a song.
The new album features a diverse collection of 13 all new tracks with guest appearances by Dan Lebowitz (ALO), Leslie Helpert, the Jazz Mafia Horns and many more. After more than a year in the making, In The Wake is unlike anything the band has ever recorded before.
 Slightly Stoopid & Friends - Live at Roberto's TRI Studios CD/DVD - It was an honor being invited by the Grateful Dead and Furthur's Bob Weir into his state of the art TRI Studios. Slightly Stoopid had the privilege to bring down some of their close friends, family, and musical guests to "Roberto's" TRI clubhouse for an unprecedented live webcast and in-studio performance. Good friend Tommy Chong hosted the event and provided some "Wisdom." An extended family of musical guests joining in and playing on the session features Karl Denson, Ivan and Ian Neville of Dumpstaphunk, Don Carlos, and Bob Weir himself! The result is a 31 song / 2 set acoustic and electric performance including behind the scenes rehearsal footage, and a rare interview segment moderated by Tommy Chong & Bob Weir. Last but not least, a portion of all proceeds will benefit 2 charitable organizations whom the band supports: Save the Children and World Food Programme
