Paper Garden Records recording artists The Storm Windows have released the first single from their forthcoming live album: "FIONA," a song about lost love and the highway to contemplate it. The track was recorded live before an enthusiastic sold-out audience at Tank Studio in Burlington, Vermont, on November 1, 2025. Performing on the recording are The Storm Windows Trio: Rob Mathews on guitar and vocals, Don Mathews on upright bass and vocals, and Erik Anderson on drums.
The single is being released on the PGRoots label of Paper Garden Records and will be followed by the release of a full album on August 21, including a vinyl edition available at live shows this summer. Audio for the track was produced and mixed by Ben Collett and Julia Rangel at Tank Recording Studios, with a video by Drew Fahle. Links to the single are available on social media platforms, including YouTube and Spotify.
This release marks a significant step for the band as their first on the PGRoots label, portending the upcoming full live album. The Storm Windows, who take their name from a John Prine song, have been described as playing "New Americana – a blend of folk, rock and even jazz laced sonics." The band's name also reflects their status as veteran musicians who have weathered storms and continue to perform. Fans can find upcoming tour dates on their website.
The release of "FIONA" underscores the band's ability to capture the energy of live performances and translate it into recorded form. With the full album on the horizon, this single offers a taste of what fans can expect from The Storm Windows' upcoming work.
