We’re Listening

Dope Patina publishes independent reviews of folk, bluegrass, Americana, roots, and adjacent music. We’re less interested in assigning scores than exploring what an album is trying to say, how it succeeds, and where it fits into the broader landscape of roots music.

Have a new release you’d like us to hear? 

Visit the Submit Music page to send it our way. We can’t promise coverage, but we do promise every submission gets an honest listen.
