featured Musician of the month
The Forum
Ethan remembers his introduction to the band like it was yesterday. On his way to play with Jake and Michael for the first time “Michael’s tire blew out on the way to practice,” he laughs. “So we met on the side of the highway while changing it. I guess that’s when I officially joined the band.”
Jake adds: “It’s important to have a good drummer, but it’s even more important that your drummer knows how to change a tire.”

Record Store promo
Village Green Records
2960 Zelda Rd F, Montgomery, AL 36106
Village Green Records has been all about sharing, discovering, and celebrating music for over 16 years. It started with Travis — a young punk kid who just loved records — taking small steps to build something special right off Ball State’s campus. Now, after becoming a big part of the Muncie community, Travis is ready to bring that same energy and love of music to Montgomery, Alabama. At VGR, every record is handpicked. We’ve got new releases, old gems, vinyl, CDs, DVDs — a mix of everything. The shop might be small, but the selection is huge and always growing. Over the years, we’ve hosted more than 500 live acts from all over the world, both in-store and outdoors. When COVID hit, we started a Patreon subscription to keep the music going. Each month, members get curated picks — on vinyl, CD, or tape — featuring all kinds of artists we love. Village Green Records isn’t just a store. It’s a community built around music, connection, and discovery — and we’re just getting started.
Venue Promo
Artmosphere
902 Johnston St, Lafayette, LA 70501
Located in downtown Lafayette, Louisiana off of Jefferson Street, Artmosphere has been an iconic music venue for over twenty years. The external of the building speaks true to the Acadiana region where it’s located; makeshift and wooden, painted the colors of the Lafayette flag coupled with a long porch. The design is self aware and inviting to the many regulars who frequent there as well as newcomers. Artmosphere is dedicated to featuring one local band per month in order to uplift Lafayette’s music community. However, they do not discriminate when it comes to genre. The venue strives to book artists who vary in style across the board: EDM, RMB, metal, zydeco and everything else and in-between. The venue was sold in 2024 and then bought by new owners in March of this year. The new owners wanted to change the name of the long-standing venue. Luckily, they didn’t. They understood the cultural impact Artmosphere had in the local music community and wanted to continue it’s legacy. Head on over to Artmosphere with your friends during the weekend and take a seat, have a drink and enjoy the music. And if you’re a solo singer or in a band in Lafayette, book your next gig at this proverbial music venue.
