Paper Garden Records recording artists The Storm Windows today release a new single from their forthcoming LIVE album: 'There's a Reason for Saturday Nights.' The track was recorded live before an enthusiastic audience at Tank Studio in Burlington, Vermont on November 1, 2025.
The Storm Windows are known as purveyors (some say inventors) of 'Power-Folk', with live performances described as the 'Folk Ramones' by Spin Magazine. Performing on the recording are The Storm Windows Trio: Rob Mathews on guitar and vocals, Don Mathews on upright bass and vocals, and Erik Anderson on drums. The single is being released on the PGRoots label of Paper Garden Records and will be followed by the release of a full album on August 21, including vinyl for those who catch a live show this summer.
Audio for the track was produced and mixed by Ben Collett and Julia Rangel at Tank Recording Studios. As of today, links to the single are available on all major social media platforms. For immediate access, a pre-stream link is available at https://s.disco.ac/jhzdqpunzniw.
This single marks the first release on the PGRoots label, signaling the label's foray into roots music. The forthcoming live album, set for release on August 21, is highly anticipated by fans of the band's energetic live performances. The Storm Windows continue to tour, with dates listed on their website at www.thestormwindows.com.
The band takes their name from a John Prine song title, reflecting their resilience as veteran musicians who have weathered storms and continue to create music that critics have labeled 'New Americana – a blend of folk, rock and even jazz laced sonics.' This release underscores the band's commitment to live performance and their evolving sound.
