Paper Garden Records recording artists The Storm Windows have released the first single from their forthcoming live album, titled 'FIONA.' The track, recorded live at Tank Studio in Burlington, Vermont on November 1, 2025, captures the band's performance before a sold-out audience. The song explores themes of lost love and the highway as a place for contemplation.
The Storm Windows Trio, comprising Rob Mathews on guitar and vocals, Don Mathews on upright bass and vocals, and Erik Anderson on drums, delivered the performance. The single is the band's debut release on the PGRoots label of Paper Garden Records. It precedes a full live album, scheduled for release on August 21, which will also be available on vinyl at select live shows this summer.
The audio for 'FIONA' was produced and mixed by Ben Collett and Julia Rangel at Tank Recording Studios, with a video directed by Drew Fahle. Fans can access the single on major streaming platforms, including YouTube and Spotify.
The Storm Windows, whose name is inspired by a John Prine song, have been described as playing 'New Americana'—a fusion of folk, rock, and jazz. The band has weathered many storms as veteran musicians, and their music reflects resilience and storytelling. Upcoming tour dates are available on their website.
The release of 'FIONA' marks a significant step for the band as they expand their discography with live recordings, offering fans an authentic concert experience. The single serves as a preview of the energy and emotion expected on the full album, which will likely appeal to both longtime followers and new listeners interested in contemporary Americana music.
