New Americana Anthem from The Storm Windows Celebrating (Reflecting On) America's 250th Birthday: "AMERICA 250 (GSHGOT)"
"Now You're Staring Down 250 Like an L.A. Private Eye"
NEW YORK and VERMONT, February 13, 2026 -- The Storm Windows today release their new Americana anthem (as a single and YouTube video) "AMERICA 250 (GSHGOT)"
About "AMERICA 250 (GSHGOT)"
The trio of brothers Rob Mathews (guitar and vocals) and Don Mathews (upright bass and vocals) and drummer Erik Anderson today release their new single and video celebrating (and reflecting on) America's 250th birthday. The song delivers a panoramic view of the American experience – past, present and towards the future – as the country approaches its 250th birthday. The song is meant as a celebration of the resilience of the America ethos, but also an acknowledgement that the promise is still an aspiration.
The Storm Windows perform frequently in Upstate New York and Vermont as a "Power-Folk" trio. Recently Spin Magazine called the trio's live performance the "Folk Ramones." The version of the song released today is our studio recording, but alternate versions will be released in the run-up to the big day.
As of today, links to the single are available on all your favorite social media platforms. Below are a YouTube link to the video and a Soundcloud link to the new single:

About The Storm Windows
The Storm Windows play both showcases and bar gigs, and always have a few of each lined up. The band takes their name The Storm Windows from a song title of one of their musical heroes, John Prine, but also as an appropriate description of some veteran musicians who have weathered a few storms but are still standing and singing about it. Critics have labeled their music "New Americana – a blend of folk, rock and even jazz laced sonics."
The single follows the 2025 summer release of the new studio EP "More Lucky", a set of anthems that convey a message of hope tinged with a yearning for something better, and the promise of the road to try to find it.
