The timeless and earnest voice of Riddy Arman has been on our minds as we make the shift into the cool winter here in the high desert. Her song “Half a Heart Keychain” kicks off our holiday playlist, but the entirety of her self-titled album is worth a long listen as you make the […]
We met Jonathon Robert Linaberry, who goes by the moniker The Bones of J.R. Jones at our Posada in Tucson, Arizona. The New York singer/songwriter admittedly has a fascination with the southwestern desert, present in his music and the accompanying album artwork that Jonathon creates himself. His song “Howl” has been on constant rotation in […]

We’re thrilled to feature Jack Symes for our next rotation of the New Moon playlist. Jack is a mustachioed California native who has spent time living and writing in both NYC and LA.

As we look forward to a post-pandemic world where we can gather freely again with our friends and larger groups, we’re left reflecting on the isolation of the past year.

It’s the perfect collection of ten presets for anyone who is looking to capture and […]
Events of the past few months have been a catalyst for deep reflection. The global pandemic and the further uncovering of systemic racism still present in our country today weighs heavily on our minds. As such, we find ourselves actively pursuing how we can be more than a place for all to enjoy. We have […]
Strange times indeed. We’re all dealing with the difficulty of navigating these uncharted waters, but we’re comforted by the fact that we’re all in this together. Knowing that music can be a potent salve in times of crisis, we wanted to put together a new Spotify playlist to help out in a small way. The […]
Winter has arrived in the high desert, and with it, cold nights and the thought of last year’s fleeting snowstorm. Our December New Moon Spotify playlist focuses on the ethereal, hypnotic harmonies of San Francisco duo Magic Magic Roses.
