*In a move that defies industry norms, DIY troubadour & indie mainstay Brett Newski will NOT release the album on streaming services.*

Fusing Alt-Country, Indie Rock, Power Pop, & satirical Folk Punk, ameriCONa Pt. 1: Educate Freeloaders to Buy Art (out 5/2) takes a stand against streaming exploitation - no Spotify, no Apple Music, no exploitative streaming services. Instead, the record will be available exclusively through vinyl, CD, live shows, digital download, and limited-edition formats. ameriCONa hits with raw urgency, showing flourishes of Highway 61-era Bob Dylan, Jonathan Richman, plus production in the vein of Velvet Underground.

Newski urges fans to purchase music directly—a step toward securing a living wage for artists in an era where streaming royalties have long failed to do so.
