The Storm Windows Release Live Single 'FIONA' Ahead of August Album

The Storm Windows, recording artists on Paper Garden Records, today 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 a sold-out audience at Tank Studio in Burlington, Vermont, on November 1, 2025. Performing as The Storm Windows Trio are Rob Mathews on guitar and vocals, Don Mathews on upright bass and vocals, and Erik Anderson on drums.

This single marks the band's first release on the PGRoots label, a division of Paper Garden Records, and portends the full live album scheduled for release on August 21. The 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 all major platforms, including YouTube and Spotify.

The Storm Windows, named after a John Prine song titled "The Storm Windows," describe themselves as veteran musicians who have weathered storms and are still standing. Critics have labeled their music "New Americana – a blend of folk, rock and even jazz laced sonics." The band plays both showcases and bar gigs, and fans can check their website for upcoming summer tour dates, where vinyl copies of the live album may be available at shows.

The release of "FIONA" is significant as it marks The Storm Windows' transition to the PGRoots label and offers a preview of their live performance style. The full live album, expected on August 21, will capture the energy of their sold-out show and could expand their audience. For fans of Americana and live recordings, this single provides a taste of what to expect.
