Jeff Pevar & Inger Nova Announce Italy Tour and Innovative Album Release on Musical Bead
Jeff Pevar and Inger Nova, a dynamic musical duo known for their eclectic blend of Blues, R&B, Rock, Jazz, Neo-soul, and Folk, are set to captivate audiences in Italy with their acclaimed Duet project. This tour is perfectly timed with the release of their latest album, “Hear Me Calling,” through innovative technology and the Musical Bead app.
Jeff Pevar, a revered guitarist and multi-instrumentalist, has decades of experience performing with music legends such as David Crosby & CPR, CSN, Ray Charles, Marc Cohn, Joe Cocker, Rickie Lee Jones, Phil Lesh and many others. His roles as a skilled producer and engineer are showcased in the duo’s latest work, where he not only plays most of the instruments on the album alongside some very special guests, but also crafts original backing tracks for the live concerts, featuring music from soft acoustic duets to full-blown rock and roll, depending on the venue.
Inger Nova Jorgensen brings her profound lyrical and visual artistry to the partnership. An acclaimed sculptor and painter, Inger infuses a deep artistic sensibility into their music, serving as the primary lyricist and vocalist and creator of many of the melodic seeds, which she brings to Jeff for the collaboration of each song. Her work imbues their songs with emotional depth and narrative complexity that reflects their personal and artistic journey.
The album, “Hear Me Calling,” produced by Jeff and Inger, is a vibrant testament to their collaborative spirit, featuring a range of soul-stirring melodies that trace their relationship from its inception to the present. The album includes a mix of richly instrumented tracks and intimate acoustic tunes, showcasing their versatility and depth.
Musical Bead, the platform for their new album release, introduces a revolutionary way to experience music. Utilizing patented NFC technology, similar to contactless credit cards, it allows fans to tap a card to their phone to transfer the music, facilitating a direct connection between artists and their audience. This bypasses traditional streaming services and ensures fair support for artists. Furthermore, Musical Bead enhances the fan experience by allowing audiences to connect with Jeff and Inger directly through the app, where they can access exclusive videos, photos, merch for sale, and additional music from their duet and solo catalogues.
As Jeff and Inger tour across Italy, they look forward to sharing not just their music but an immersive experience of musical exploration and artistic expression, while connecting with friends they have made over their last many tours in Europe. Each concert goes beyond a typical performance; it’s an encounter with music and art that makes each event unforgettable.

In “You Never Do Shit,” Brooklyn’s Dead Tooth deliver a snarling, urgent post-punk single that distills their barbed energy into under four minutes of sharp-tongued wit and scuffed-up sonics. It’s a track that bristles with disdain—Zach Ellis’ vocal delivery is acidic, at times theatrical, and often more spoken than sung. There’s a punk rock immediacy here, but with the knowing wink of someone who’s watched the scene curdle and still wants to dance through the ashes.
The song began its life in a different medium—written for a fictional band on City on Fire—but the real-life iteration carries more weight. There’s a palpable satisfaction in Ellis’ decision to reclaim it, and that freedom seeps into every detail: the unkempt rhythm section, the jarring saxophone lines from John Stanesco, and the deliberate looseness that characterizes its structure.
Dead Tooth are at once participants and commentators in the culture they inhabit. Their songs are alive with noise, but also with intent—tracking the psychic hangover of nightlife, subcultural collapse, and underground scenes that burn bright and disappear too soon. Ellis’ lyrical observations land like tossed-off critiques, but underneath the smirk is something deeper, almost desperate: a desire for connection, even through chaos.
With their debut album looming, “You Never Do Shit” feels like a thesis statement. Not just of sound, but of ethos: reject slickness, embrace noise, tell the truth—even if it’s ugly. In a year when punk has mostly whispered or wandered, Dead Tooth has chosen to scream.
