The Storm Windows, the Vermont-based band known for pioneering a style critics call 'Power-Folk,' have released a new live single titled 'There's a Reason for Saturday Nights.' The track, recorded on November 1, 2025, at Tank Studio in Burlington, Vermont, captures the trio's energetic performance before an enthusiastic audience. The single is now available on streaming platforms and serves as a preview of the band's forthcoming full live album, set for release on August 21.
The Storm Windows Trio, comprising Rob Mathews on guitar and vocals, Don Mathews on upright bass and vocals, and Erik Anderson on drums, delivers a sound that has drawn comparisons to the 'Folk Ramones' by Spin Magazine. Their music blends folk, rock, and jazz elements, earning them a reputation as purveyors of 'New Americana.' The new single is the first release on the PGRoots label, a subsidiary of Paper Garden Records, and highlights the band's signature live energy.
Produced and mixed by Ben Collett and Julia Rangel at Tank Recording Studios, 'There's a Reason for Saturday Nights' is available for pre-stream at this link. The band has also announced that the full live album will be released on vinyl, available at their summer tour dates. Fans can check upcoming tour dates on the band's website at thestormwindows.com.
The release marks a significant milestone for the band, who derive their name from a John Prine song and describe themselves as veteran musicians who have weathered storms and continue to perform. With this single, The Storm Windows reaffirm their status as dynamic live performers and signal a new chapter with the PGRoots label.
