People are so excited about the Salute to Sonny Boy Williamson, which I'll be leading in Glendora, MS on October 10th, 2026, from 2PM to 4PM. One of the biggest questions people ask is, 'Where in Glendora is it?' So we created a new poster with the address, 45 Burrough Street, Glendora, MS 38298.

I'm still a little shocked that my brand-new album, "Under the Rock," the single from it, "Get it Out," The Jim Basnight Band (twice), and myself (as a Male Artist) have been nominated in five separate categories for a 2026 Josie Music Award.

000

Jim Basnight @jimbasnight.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

I'll be in Portland, OR this coming Tuesday, August 11th, at 6PM, performing solo at Music Millennium. This place is one of the greatest record stores in the century they have existed. I'll be playing tunes from my brand-new, Josie Award nominated album, "Under the Rock," new tunes, and more!!

Jim Basnight @jimbasnight.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Nice review of my brand-new album, "Under the Rock," from this longstanding NY-based indie rock and roll journal. Some would say journal of note, and they wouldn't be far off. Hard copy mags deserve your support, just like LPs, CDs, and live gigs.

Here's a good shot of us from The Central Saloon two weeks ago. Thanks Nova Clark for posting!!

Jim Basnight @jimbasnight.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

It's so amazing how well the brand-new Beth Peabody single is doing. This is one of the very coolest indie rock and roll radio shows in the UK, and they not only played "Get it Out," but opened with it and introduced it in their media release. Such generous praise, and well deserved in her case.

000

Jim Basnight @jimbasnight.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

The Jim Basnight Band will be on stage tomorrow night, celebrating World Cup at the historic Central Saloon in Downtown Seattle, at 9PM. Cathy Sorbo will be joining us on vocals, as we kick out the rock and roll with Mikel T. Rollins on bass, and James Capponi on drums.

Jim Basnight @jimbasnight.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

Beth Peabody's brand-new single is playing this week on a Pennsylvania-based radio show this week, which is syndicated all over the place. Check out the esteemed company she's keeping!!

Jim Basnight @jimbasnight.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

This lady, who happens to sing on all 13 songs on my brand-new album, "Under the Rock," will have a new double-sided digital single out at Noon tomorrow (June 12th, 2026). Her learning curve is steep and ceiling is high. Don't be late, be right on time to hear this smash record!

Jim Basnight @jimbasnight.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

The brand-new Beth Peabody single will be out on most major digital platforms via Distrokid, this Friday. Beth is the lovely longtime harmony vocalist, with the practically perfect pitch, in the Jim Basnight Band and she is excellent, on these two Basnight tunes, "Get it Out" and "Out and About."

Jim Basnight @jimbasnight.bsky.social · 23/04/2026

The Jim Basnight Band received a nice piece of ink today from Subway, a west coast-based rock and roll fanzine, with a long history. It was super nice to see James Capponi and Mikel T. Rollins get some cool pub.

Jim Basnight @jimbasnight.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

What an honor to see my new single, "Out and About," from the brand-new album "Under the Rock," moved up nine spots to #83 today, on this outstanding East Coast based Top 200 indie rock and roll chart. It's so nice to know that folks are digging the tracks on this album!!

Jim Basnight @jimbasnight.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

I'm so pumped that this outstanding Toronto, ON (Canada) indie rock and roll radio station is playing my new single, "Children of The Night," this week!!

Jim Basnight @jimbasnight.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

I received excellent news today, that "Don't Stop Now," an album track from my brand-new album, "Under the Rock," is continuing to get high rotation airplay on this award-winning UK indie rock and roll radio station.

000

Jim Basnight @jimbasnight.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

My new album, "Under the Rock" is out now on LP, CD, and at most major online platforms. Here it is. Isn't it beautiful?

000

Jim Basnight @jimbasnight.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

My new LP, "Under the Rock," has an insert which is an 11/18 full color poster on one side and all of the credits for the album, which wouldn't fit on the cover.

000

Jim Basnight @jimbasnight.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

"Don't Stop Now," a track from my brand-new album "Under the Rock," is continuing for a third week to get high level airplay on this award-winning UK indie rock and roll radio station. I'm so pumped!!

"Don't Stop Now," the last tune on my brand-new album, "Under the Rock," continues for another week to be getting solid rotation on this award-winning UK indie rock and roll radio station. I'm so proud.

000

Jim Basnight @jimbasnight.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

I'm so proud to see that hip indie rock and roll stations around the world are picking their own favorite songs to play, from my new album, "Under the Rock." This top UK station who recently won a Prestige Award for Best Radio Station has put "Don't Stop Now" in high rotation (2-3 times per day).

It's such an honor to be charted at #6 on this fantastic and widely followed Florida based rock and roll radio show's Top 10 for the coming week.

I'm so proud to see today that my new single, "Other Woman" and "All Summer Long," have been added to stations in Utah, London, United Kingdom, Camden, UK, and Waverly, Iowa.

000

Jim Basnight @jimbasnight.bsky.social · 09/06/2025

This is such a huge honor, which happened yesterday. "So F'd Up," the single from the yet-to-be titled upcoming album, moved up to #7 on this widely followed (worldwide) Indie Top 200 chart. This chart is for indie only radio, a format which I feel is Plymouth Rock for the renewal of rock and roll.

000

Jim Basnight @jimbasnight.bsky.social · 08/05/2025

We're rocking the stage at JP's Barroom in Renton, WA this Friday night, with the Jim Basnight Band, featuring Mikel Rollins, Kurt Jensen, James Capponi, and myself. We'll be doing lots of tunes from our upcoming album, as well as tracks from all nine of my other unique albums.

This is great!! My new single, "Nazis Over There," is listed at #4 on this week's Top-21 chart for this essential rock and roll radio show on Little Steven's Underground Garage on Sirius XM. Host Bill Kelly is a monster DJ who literally kills it each week on Saturday nights.

Jim Basnight @jimbasnight.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

I'm so pumped to be included on this stellar UK rock and roll radio show this coming Saturday at 3PM Pacific. It's so nice to be in the mix with such a wide variety of top new acts.
