As Fruition releases its eighth studio album, Something More, via Bloodshot Records, the acclaimed Americana band is also announcing plans to step away from touring following the scheduled tour dates, which now extend through January 2027. More than 15 years together, building a grassroots audience with stacked vocal harmonies and collaborative, song-driven Americana, this is American roots music at its broadest and boldest — a melting pot of rock, soul, folk, and pop.

Produced by Grammy winner Tucker Martine (The Decemberists. My Morning Jacket), “…this album is the culmination of almost two decades of making music as Fruition,” explains Jay Cobb Anderson. Asked about the mission behind Something More, Kellen Asebroek shares: “We set out to show the world what we’ve learned along the way, both musically and personally, but perhaps more importantly, this album makes a point to be honest about the things we’ve had to UNLEARN. The truth of this album is found in kicking old habits, letting go of control, interrogating our motives, and approaching each session with fearless, open hearts.”

Handmade Moments is a fearless, all-weather duo based in New Orleans, LA. Anna Moss and Joel Ludford’s endearing personalities guide us through diverse musical flavors of American music. They serve up ornate instrumentation and simple, yet sophisticated songcraft. Their live show offers a memorable mix of intoxicating vocals, bass clarinet, saxophone, sousaphone, guitar, upright bass, and tag team beatboxing.

“Moss and Ludford are masters at sneaking heavy messages into lighthearted melodies and arrangements, Moss’ bass clarinet functioning like a cheerful Trojan Horse to deliver a grim truth to the listener.” – No Depression
