TK & The Holy Know-Nothings and Riddy Arman at Turf Club

The Oregon-based band TK & the Holy Know-Nothings find a way of bridging the hard-boiled rock 'n' roll bar scene with more expansive moments plucked straight from Western country. It's a sound that allows them to deliver big energy alongside moments of quiet reflection.

Riddy Arman is a La Honda Records recording artist. Fans have long anticipated her debut release since her viral performance video, shot by Western AF in a Montana Rail Link boxcar, where the world was introduced to her distinct, sultry lope.

Against the bucolic and industrial backdrop of the video, Arman is clearly in her element, clad with ranch worn clothing. It is obvious she lives a lifestyle many romanticize, but few truly understand. The chapters of her life so far make for a story much richer than a common western archetype. Unafraid to take new paths, Arman has traveled across the country — from the farmlands of the Midwest to the bustling streets of New York City, and now Montana— writing songs, working as a ranch hand, and practicing an Agrarian lifestyle.

Arman herself has chosen to take a different path, embracing isolation and interpreting her life through the rural landscape that adorns her lyrics. With fierce honesty and a voice that immediately commands attention, on her debut record, Riddy Arman has proven herself as much more than just a cowboy, singing her lonely songs.
