the 2024 holiday ‘Mericans song “Happiness” debuted Christmas Day on Jon Solomon’s 25 Our Christmas Marathon on WPRB at Princeton University so that makes our song real smart?!? it’s been released on our Bandcamp as part of our ever evolving ‘A Merry ‘Merican Christmas‘ album which can be streamed / downloaded by clicking here. it’s FREE but any contributions would be helpful in keeping the ‘Mericans going.

the ‘Mericans played a handful of fun shows this Spring, including our annual appearance at Southside Community Land Trust’s Rare and Unusual Plant Sale, happening on Sunday 19 May 2024 at 1pm sharp. then we play the Music Mansion at around 1pm on Saturday 1 June 2024 as part of Stone Soup’s Annual Fundraiser Concert. then we play the following afternoon Sunday 2 June 2024 at a secret house show at around 2pm where our friend Joyce Raskin will be reading from her book Lost In Providence. other music and stuff will happen. and on Saturday 8 June the band plays Porchfest 2024 at 65 Edgehill Road on the East Side of Providence, Rhode Island. all afternoon shows — how about that!?!

here’s 2021’s the ‘Mericans holiday song
we’ve just released a special 20th Anniversary
expanded + remastered reissue of our debut album ‘Merican Recordings
with 3 bonus tracks! you can stream / download it on Bandcamp
where you can also order vinyl LPs and CDs of the album
but before that’s done here’s a benefit single we’re
releasing to help our dear friend Maggie Jeanne Siegel
in her battle with brain cancer.
also here’s another recent recording, a cover of a
song by Lead Belly called “It’s Almost Day.” and beneath
that is a live video of a new ‘Mericans song.
so that means we won’t be playing many live shows
