UMC20: It’s a New Year, Yes It Is! (Jan. 3, 2023)
Welcome to 2023! We’re glad you’re here.
We’re also glad to see that the independent artists of Earth have been busy, even through the holidays, by sending us loads of new music to greet us upon our return to Nashville.

It’s also amazing to see how music connects us from our different corners of the world — from LA to New York, from Nashville to Cheyenne, these tunes aren’t all tied to one locale.
