This spring, Chapman tours in support of an album for the first time in his long career, with a full band. Gun Outfit hits the road in the Midwest and South with Steve Gunn in a killer Gunn-Gun attack.
Or, that time that Michael didn’t recognize his ex-wife. The unflinching, bittersweet “After All This Time” features the voice of UK songwriting hero and longtime Chapman friend and collaborator Bridget St John.

As 2018 comes to a close, we are proud to look back on a year of seven new PoB releases and feel honored to have worked with so many inspiring artists. Proud sensations!
