Whether it’s a new song from an artist you know, or an innovative sound from an artist you ought to know, Steamboat Locals is constantly updating our music selection each week. Here are some new songs added just this past week:
“Keep Me Honest” – Michael Marcagi
Michael Marcagi, an American singer-songwriter from Cincinnati, Ohio, has recently released his latest single, “Keep Me Honest.” The track features a compelling foot-stomping hook, highlighted by Marcagi’s distinctive electric guitar solo, and showcases his signature blend of Americana and alternative influences. Michael Marcagi, the Cincinnati-based folk-rock singer-songwriter known for his earnest storytelling and blend of Americana traditions, is scheduled to perform at the Strings Music Pavilion in Steamboat Springs on March 9, 2025, at 7:00 pm. Tickets for the event start at $34.50.
“Plead” – Ashley Kutcher
The song “Plead” is featured on her EP Play Responsibly, which was announced in September 2024. “Plead” showcases Kutcher’s emotionally charged country-pop style, resonating with listeners through its heartfelt lyrics and melodies. One major reason we are adding this song to our rotation at this time is that Ashley Kutcher will be opening for Michael Marcagi in the aforementioned concert at Strings on March 9, 2025, and we want to help familiarize you with her music before the show.
“King of the Low” – Mihali with Moon Taxi

Produced by Moon Taxi’s Spencer Thomson, the track explores the pursuit of an artist’s unique sound.
