BUSHMAN Is Back With “Reggae In Nashville”

Published

BUSHMAN

Reggae has always found ways to travel further than anyone expects, and BUSHMAN’s “Reggae In Nashville” feels like the next natural step in that long journey. Out now, this is a track that earns its confidence without having to announce it.

BUSHMAN carries the weight of the conscious roots tradition, the kind that Bob Marley and Peter Tosh built with intention — but he doesn’t use it as a costume. It’s simply where he comes from, and you hear that in every bar. Nashville as a backdrop isn’t a gimmick here. It’s a genuine meeting point, and he lets the two worlds breathe together rather than forcing a collision.

The fusion elements sit underneath the rhythm without pulling focus, which is exactly where they should be. This is music for a Sunday morning with your family, for a long drive, for a room full of people who don’t all share the same taste but somehow all nod along. That’s harder to pull off than it sounds.

His quote says it plainly: he wants reggae that speaks to real life, that brings families together. You believe him. The track doesn’t strain for depth — it already has it.

With UK tour dates confirmed at Band on the Wall in Manchester, the Jazz Cafe in London, and the Heritage Festival in Berkshire this summer, plus a date at Rototom Spain in August, audiences are going to get the full picture of what this sounds like when it’s alive in a room. That’s worth looking forward to.

Murray & The Movers get ‘Squeaky Clean’ with new rockabilly jam

Published

on

Murray & The Movers follow up the release of their late-night blues-rock cut ‘Dirty Laundry’ with ‘Squeaky Clean’, a frisky, electrified reworking that pushes the song into sharp-edged rockabilly territory.

‘Squeaky Clean’ is the sunny-side-up flip of ‘Dirty Laundry’ — swapping late-night smoke and tension for bright rockabilly swagger, clean cowboy boots and good-time rhythm. Built around crisp stick sounds, woody percussion, twanging guitars and scooting grooves, the track rolls through Americana country-blues territory with a grin on its face. If ‘Dirty Laundry’ was after dark, ‘Squeaky Clean’ is the sound of throwing open the blinds and skipping down the street in freshly polished cowboy boots.

Fronted by Lizzie Mack, whose voice moves between raw intimacy and controlled power, and anchored by Murray Cook’s instinctive guitar work, the two tracks reveal both sides of Murray & The Movers: one slow-burning and shadowed, the other sharper, louder and built for speed.

Drawing on blues, country, garage rock and classic soul, the band’s sound is never revivalist. Instead, it lives in a distinctly cinematic space — music with dust on its boots, neon in its reflection, and a sense of backstory running through every musical choice. With the high-energy release of ‘Squeaky Clean’ juxtaposing the restrained, cinematic, tension-building moods of ‘Dirty Laundry’, Murray & The Movers showcase their great versatility across the same song.

Following the release, Lizzie Mack and Murray Cook will head to Spain in summer 2026 for a run of intimate duo shows, bringing their raw chemistry and stripped-back sound to a series of close, atmospheric rooms from Madrid to Barcelona.
