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 single is being released on the PGRoots label of Paper Garden Records and will be followed by the release of a full album, including on vinyl for those catching a live show this summer.
The Storm Windows, known as purveyors (some say inventors) of 'Power-Folk,' have live performances described as the 'Folk Ramones' by Spin Magazine. Performing on the recording are the The Storm Windows Trio: Rob Mathews on guitar and vocals, Don Mathews on upright bass and vocals, and Erik Anderson on drums. The 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, with a pre-stream link available at https://s.disco.ac/jhzdqpunzniw. The single is the first release on the PGRoots label and portends the upcoming full live album to be released on August 21. The band's website, thestormwindows.com, lists upcoming tour dates.
The Storm Windows play both showcases and bar gigs, taking their name from a John Prine song title, also describing veteran musicians who have weathered storms and continue performing. Critics have labeled their music 'New Americana – a blend of folk, rock and even jazz laced sonics.'
