Fresh Tracks Friday | August 4, 2023

A slice of watermelon, a cold drink in the shade, and some cool Fresh Tracks are the ingredients you need for a great summer day. This week's featured artists include The National Parks, The Heavy, and Yarn among many others. It's all right here and fresh on KPCW!

9 a.m. - The String Cheese Incident - Lend Me A Hand
For those who saw The String Cheese Incident at Sandy Amphitheatre last night, here is one of their newest tracks which will appear on their soon-to-be-released studio album "Lend Me A Hand." The band's new collection of songs showcases the full depth of songwriting like never before.

10 a.m. - Con Brio, Viveca Hawkins - Whenever You Call
This is the latest track from Con Brio and features their newest guest vocalist Viveca Hawkins. Con Brio is an American soul and rock and roll band from San Francisco, California.

11 a.m. - Yarn - Cocaine Bear
This song is the story of a 175-lb. black bear's inadvertent consumption of high-quality cocaine in the hills around Knoxville, Tennessee in 1985 after 40 plastic containers were dropped out of a drug smuggler's plane. When the bear was found dead with a stomach containing over 75 lbs. of that cocaine, the New York Times wrote an article about it; and North Carolina-native, songwriter Blake Christiana of Yarn, wrote a song about it. Yarn had never recorded the song, only performing it live, until this year and the release of the movie "Cocaine Bear" brought more attention to the decades-old story.

1 p.m. - The National Parks - I Better Go
Provo, UT based quartet, The National Parks, will be performing tomorrow night at Canyons Village as part of the Big Stars, Bright Nights concert series. This track is off their latest album "8th Wonder."

3 p.m. - The Heavy - I Feel The Love
The Heavy is a 4-piece English rock band from Bath, England. “I Feel The Love” is off their recent album "Amen." It jumps with the Pentecostal pop fever full of Mississippi heat, expressing the influence of Delta Blues on this British group.

4 p.m. - Daniel Donato - Lose Your Mind
Daniel Donato's musical style blends the best of Nashville honky tonks with an improvisational spirit rooted in the ethos of the Grateful Dead. Together with his young band Cosmic Country, they represent a vibrant, youthful energy expressed through extremely talented musicianship.

5 p.m. - The Dip - Beautiful Stranger
The Dip are a 7-piece rhythm-and-blues band out of Seattle Washington. This is an early-release single from their forthcoming album "Discovered and Covered." See if you recognize this as a cover of Madonna's 1999 hit.
