Some songs arrive quietly. Others arrive like a reckoning. “Beatitudes” sits somewhere in between — calm on the surface, unsettled underneath.

Records don’t arrive fully formed. They grow. They struggle. They change shape. And sometimes, they almost don’t make it at all.

Americana has always lived in the quiet space between genres — part folk, part rock, part storytelling tradition.

Live Americana has a way of bringing people together in a room without asking much from them.

While Beatitudes originates from a personal spiritual history, the themes it explores feel universal. 

In a musical landscape where sincerity is often masked by irony, The Wonder Licks’ new single “Beatitudes” stands apart as something bracingly direct.

There’s something magical about small venues — the kind where you can feel the bass in your chest, catch the drummer’s grin, and actually make eye contact with the band.

On Sunday, November 2, 2025, New York City’s Americana trailblazers The Wonder Licks will hit the stage at the legendary Arlene’s Grocery, located at 95 Stanton Street, New York, NY 10002.

Americana has never belonged to one place or one moment — it grows wherever people are willing to tell the truth in song.

Americana is a feeling as much as a sound — late-night roads, true stories, small moments that hit big. These are the songs we carry with us. Each one has a quick note on why it matters. Listen, save, argue, discover — that’s the fun.

For us, Americana music isn’t just a genre — it’s where stories live.

Americana has never been about one sound — it’s about how you tell a story.
