Amy's new album "Stranger Me" on Archer Records is due stateside on  July 19 and judging by samples you can hear here, her sound has broadened into a shimmering pop-oriented sound, with her straight-shooting lyrical approach as sharp as ever.Check out the video below from Jools Holland and hear her last performance on Mountain Stage at NPR Music.

It's a roots music sampler on June 5, as we also welcome The Blind Boys of Alabama, whose new album "Take the High Road" is getting universal praise. Ireland rockers Bell X1 will bring soaring alt-rock from their latest "Bloodless Coup," and you'll also hear the duo of Marti Jones & Don Dixon, who are finally releasing "Living Stereo" after 25 years of working together and almost as many years of marriage. Get your tickets now and join us in Morgantown Sunday, June 5.
