“Wildflowers on the Highway” Official Video
Heart of My Hometown, the sophomore album from Rolling Stone “Artist You Need to Know,” Szlachetka (pronounced SLA-HET-KA), is a mix of modern Americana, 70’s California rock, and singer/songwriter sentiments. Produced by Grammy-winning producer David Bianco (Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Lucinda Williams), the album shines new light on Szlachetka as a singer, prolific songwriter, storyteller, and fiery lead guitarist. Its touchstones include the charged roots-rock of Tom Petty and the warm, acoustic sounds of Jackson Browne.
Rolling Stone describes the forthcoming album as “a soundtrack for both the highway and the heartland…a collection of road-dog roots-rockers and Americana ballads inspired by the people (and places) he’s left behind in the rearview mirror.”
“Storytelling lyrics, guitar prowess and vocals that sound raw and polished in the same breath,” The Boot writes. “He draws on Americana influences, rock-country qualities and even a few pop tendencies to create a song that’s rooted in folk and country music, yet raised to new lyrical, musical and emotional heights.”
Szlachetka kicks off the Heart of My Hometown Tour February 16 in New York City at the Rockwood Music Hall. For tickets and show information, please visit: www.szlachetkamusic.com.
