Celtic-roots band The Codgers are releasing a new album in December.

It’s another exciting week on MI Local, packed with exclusive premieres of new tracks by local artists!

The Codgers are a Celtic-roots folk ensemble full of longtime players and poets, and we heard a new track, “A Love Song,” from the new full-length album “Sweny’s Remedies.The Codgers will play an album release party on December 14th at the Gaelic League in Corktown with  Don Duprie, Alison Lewis, and Ryan Dillaha doing a songwriters-in-the round.

Bandeau is a new project from singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/producer Chad Thompson, blending electro-pop and new-wave; we heard “Momentary Need” from the forthcoming album “Spirit Fingers (out in January). Another new project is the indie-rock sextet, The Starlings, who have an EP on the way (January) — we heard a yet-to-be-released track titled “Try To (Have A Good Time).” Meanwhile, singer/songwriter Emily Rose also has a new album, available on cassette (but also digitally, on Dec. 6), titled “The Parlor Tapes,” and we heard its opening track, “Wyandotte.”

Also of note this week, we looked ahead to R&B singer/songwriter Isis Damil’s upcoming performance at Eva’s Speakeasy (Dec. 6-7), and also checked in on shows to catch before and after Thanksgiving, including artists like The Macpodz, Double Winter and more!
