Stephen Kellogg is set to release Objects in the Mirror this Friday, November 23. Produced by fellow Americana singer-songwriter Will Hoge, the 12-track set was recorded over the course of a single week in Nashville, TN and tracked live with minimal overdubs. “I wanted to make an album that sounded and felt like the ones I grew up loving,' says Kellogg. 'Bob Seger and Cat Stevens, Tom Petty and Rod Stewart. Emotional records where the songs relate to each other and the lyrics are front and center.” Ahead of release, Rolling Stone Country praises, “...Objects in the Mirror captures the talent, spontaneity and humanity of Kellogg's songwriting and presents it in a soulful, folk-rock packaging that is refreshingly free of pretense and studio polishing,” adding that single “High Highs, Low Lows” “unfolds like John Prine fronting the Heartbreakers.” Proving to be a standout from the album, American Songwriter describes the nostalgic track as “a slowly building folk anthem with chiming piano, gentle pedal steel and a raw, vulnerable vocal performance from Kellogg.”

Earlier this year, guitarist Cory Wong set out on his pursuit of 'The Koz Nod,' what he described in his July Social Experiment video as, 'when Dave Koz gives you the nod.' Since Wong's proclamation of this new goal and his unwavering desire to be the 'millennial ambassador of smooth jazz,' he's been very vocal about his latest endeavor. 'During every show I've done this past year, I've talked about how crazy it is that a guy has his own cruise that goes in different parts of the world every year, and it sells out before he even announces who is going to be playing on it,' shares Wong. 'He didn't know when he was practicing his pentatonic scales in 6th grade that he'd be where he is today...or did he?! I've been trying to connect with Dave Koz to play on his cruise and get out of Minnesota this winter.'

After a banner year – including the release of their widely acclaimed second album Years and subsequent sold-out shows from coast to coast and overseas –Sarah Shook & the Disarmers are ending 2018 with a bang by announcing today's release of a 7” and a run of tour dates for early 2019.
