The upcoming vinyl edition of Sister Speak’s 2022 album Love For All will feature revised cover graphics showing more of the work by Canadian artist Steve Chmilar. “We have sold more vinyl than anything else this year,” says Sherri Anne, who sought a specific feature from the vinyl pressing company. “They don’t use lead in their vinyls and are always working to make things more environmentally friendly.” The album debuts August 26 in Solana Beach, on a double bill with The B-Side Players.


The Nashville Ramblers at the Casbah Aug 26


The 40th anniversary party for locally published Ugly Things magazine will feature a reunion of The Nashville Ramblers, featuring members from the Crawdaddys, the Gravedigger Five, and Mystery Machine. Their 1986 power pop classic “The Trains” was included in the Children of Nuggets box set from Rhino Records. The bill includes the Wyld Gooms a Tribute to Gabor Szabo in the Razzmatazz Room.

Cowboy Jack at Mellano Farm Stand Aug 27

Longtime (since 1968) San Diegan Cowboy Jack sings vintage country while playing acoustic guitar and harmonica. The Singing Cowboy of Rawhide Ranch is also the originator and lead performer of the Hank Show, which he calls “a re-creation, not a tribute, of Hank Williams, Sr.,” as well as the founder of Band in Black, featuring the music of Johnny Cash. He plays Oceanside's Mellano Farm Stand on August 27.
