Brian Gerald Bulger has always been one for a deeply personal listen, the kind of Americana-tinged folk artist whose smooth, familiar voice guides you through stories of love, grief, and trauma with unflinching sincerity. But with the imminent release of his new EP and accompanying memoir, 'Thank God I'm Far From Heaven,' set for January 2026, the Kansas City singer-songwriter is inviting us even further into his world.
The second single, '2007 Ice Storm', dropping on December 4th, feels like another crucial piece of the puzzle, a snapshot of the emotional weather that has shaped the man and his music. The EP and book, co-produced by Bulger alongside Grady Philip Drugg and Ephriam McFarland (who also helps out lo-fi folk artist Hudson Freeman), sound like a cohesive project, a multi-faceted expression of one artist's journey.
