It's been brought to my attention that we released our album Sneaking Up on the Moon on this day eight years ago. According to the bandcamp page though it's two days from now eight years ago. Who are you gonna believe? And why does it matter? Anyway, if you haven't heard it, I hope you will.

Salvation Alley String Band “is deep into tongue-in-cheek romantic disasters on a dozen new tracks rooted in a honky-tonk sound fit for the dancehalls of Bakersfield, and shot through with bits of western swing and old-school rock ’n’ roll.” - Freak Scene

It's a good day today because there's a sweet new single from Jason Mazzotta out there! What number are YOU in Norway?

On the occasion Henning's birthday today, Gentle Hen and the Fawns drummer Brian created this top 40 faves playlist of Henning songs. Enjoy!

🎧 popintherealworld.co.uk/post/summer-sadness-august-angst A new football season is upon us. Here's a few acts that were on the ball and put their albums in the back of the net. Ten Fe. @gentlehen.bsky.social Florist (aka Florist), lost 80s heroes The Mood, Blanche Biau & @david_boulter .

New album from Salvation Alley String Band today! Alert! Alert! salvationalley.bandcamp.com/album/waltzi...

Inspired by the release of Strawberry Moon (single mix) by Jason Mazzotta, we created this playlist of moon songs. And, it's a really good listen! Better than we expected. Enjoy! (apple link in thread)

If you listen to it twice, you’ll be singing it all day. And that’s a good thing. You’ll feel good all day with that tune in your head.

When's the last time you perused the Rub Wrongways Records store? rubwrongways.com/store

A while back, @sittingnexttobrian.bsky.social gave me this Steve Keane Syd Barrett painting and I finally mounted it in a permanent spot in the @rubwrongways.bsky.social studio. Right above Elvis Costello and Beethoven and next to Syd Barrett. Inspiring eyes for making music.

I've got a rare Boston-area solo show this weekend at Village Social Club in Brookline. I've not been there and don't know what to expect. Maybe I'll be background music in a loud restaurant, maybe I'll be the focus. I have no idea. Do you know it? Any thoughts? villagesocialclub.com (free show)

Will everything be a little more psychedelic now? Who can say?

This week's songs!

A good day to jangle

If you're a #music lover, I highly recommend you follow this great playlist on Spotify, which changes every week. I've discovered a lot of great music from it over the years. 🎶🎧

Yes, what Henning said!

This week's 25 Songs is up!

#NowListening to Gentle Hen's newest album, The Wrong Record. It's a short album but it's full of great music. Check it out, fellow music lovers. 🎶🎧🎶 #musicsky youtu.be/QuCLPP4u8Z8?... @henningo.bsky.social @gentlehen.bsky.social

Hooray for excerpts!

Introducing the video to my song We Don't Go Outside anymore, now with lyrics! It was a cold, cold day whenever back then it was and I was in a tree house with a roof lower than my head. Today, we added lyrics. There are a lot of words. Hope you enjoy it. Maybe subscribe to my YouTube channel?

For eight years now, we've changed this playlist every Monday. 25 Songs we want to hear that week and we think you might want to hear, too. If you use Spotify or Apple Music, please follow/save the playlist! You'll be able to keep up weekly and hopefully enjoy our selections, old and new.

Just announced: I'm doing a free live stream thingy on Bandcamp Thursday. Haven't done one since September. Huh. It's almost as though time keeps passing no matter what we do. Maybe you'll stop by and hang out for a bit. RSVP at the link below to stay in the loop if anything changes. Thanks!

The lyrics and chords to the songs from The Wrong Record are now up on our website if anyone's curious. Thank you for your time. www.gentlehen.com/lyrics-and-c...

We cleaned up and reformatted our store front page so that the album covers are all big and bright and colorful. What do you think? Is it too cumbersome to scroll through? rubwrongways.com/store

Thank you, @buddygott.bsky.social !

Today, Bandcamp is donating all of their proceeds to MusiCares to assist those impacted by the recent wildfires in Southern California.

Our latest release is out there everywhere!

Our first release of the year! Hopefully there will be heaps more.

A fun thing about being in a band is when you release a record online and the band members start sending each other updates on it, like so and so said they like this song best, and who's it wrote about it in super-place and jimmy likes the cover, tammy hates the last verse etc. #bandcampfriday

"All the songs have the essential characteristics of Gentle Hen’s music: jangly guitars, sunny pop harmonies and a certain offhanded, day-in-the-life vibe." - Freak Scene #43, by Eric Danton (Boston Globe, Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone, Paste and more) gentlehen.bandcamp.com/album/the-wr...

We know it's been rough, you haven't been sleeping, you've been staring dry-eyed at the computer screen pressing refresh over and over again and we apologize. Great news, though! Our website is back up and running: www.rubwrongways.com

Y’all need to be following @gentlehen.bsky.social They’re rad.

We got here just in time!

Many years ago I wrote this song based on my memory of a scene from the movie Planes Trains and Automobiles. I guess it's the closest thing I have to a Thanksgiving song. That song then inspired me to make a whole album of songs based on my memories of movies, it's called Henning Goes to the Movies:

Hi, we're here!
