Mediation No. 1 by Diana Silvers (Mar 6, 2026)

Diana Silvers

Singer, songwriter, and producer Diana Silvers returns with “Mediation No. 1,” an ode to strength and solace inspired by the truths of our current era. Proceeds from the release will be donated to the National Immigrant Justice Center, which provides free legal support to immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers who otherwise wouldn’t have access to representation.

Diana explains:

I wrote [‘Mediation No. 1’] during Jon’s soundcheck before our second night in Santa Fe. I was looking out at the vast desert sky, those purple mountains in the distance… thinking, wondering, questioning… questioning… questioning. I don’t have any answers, nor solutions, but I have questions that I’ll continue to ask through song. And my hope is [that] through song, we can find community and refuge, and maybe even strength — it’s what music has given me, so…

P.S. I just looked it up, but apparently Silvers was in a horror anthology called “Into the Dark”, which I compiled in my Best Horror TV Shows of 2018.

Trousdale 2026 Tour

Trousdale

Remember Los Angeles indie trio Trousdale? The recently announced Growing Pains Deluxe to be released on May 15, 2026. The announcement came after the one-year anniversary of their sophomore album.

Trousdale at Fine Line (May 6, 2025)

We saw the band in May 2025 and wrote, “Trousdale is from Los Angeles. Their name comes from the name of a pedestrian footbridge at the University of Southern California, where the trio met. They formed when Laura Jones and Georgia Greene were paired for a songwriting project. They added Quinn D’Andrea, a classically trained pianist, to help with the harmonies. From there they have been releasing quite a bit of music, already supporting their sophomore album Growing Pains, which is the perfect title to a sophomore album. The trio opened with “Lonely Night” which encapsulates their sound, which is country-tinged pop meeting acapella-infused musical theater. Atwood Magazine best described them as turning “… life’s messiest moments into radiant folk-pop gold.””
