I’m excited to share that “Big Bad Dream,” the lead single from A Crossroads Communion, will be released on Friday, May 1. 

The full album arrives Friday, June 5 - and as a subscriber, you’ll get an advance listen in the days leading up to it.

On the upcoming A Crossroads Communion album, landing June 5, Denise La Grassa plants her stake at the crossroads where reverence meets rebellion. On the lead single Big Bad Dream, she and the band treat their blues elders with deep respect, even devotion. But they refuse to let tradition become a cage, Instead, she and the band honor the blues by taking music they love and injecting it with a fresh sound.

Preview the new single; New album coming soon

 Over a groove that would make R.L. Burnside proud, La Grassa sketches a surreal, uneasy world of false angels and circus spectacle that is part social commentary, part fever dream. Yet escape is always within reach. It’s a striking introduction to A Crossroads Communion: rooted in the blues, but blazing a fresh way forward.
