Local musician and The Killers' musical director Ted Sablay will release his new ten-song album, State & Motion, on September 25, 2026. Fans can join the artist for an acoustic set and listening party at the downtown Arts District venue Echo Taste & Sound.
Why it matters
The release marks the latest solo project for the long-time touring member who has shaped the sound of one of Las Vegas' most prominent musical exports since 2006. Sablay recorded the thirty-eight-minute collection using a specific creative constraint, requiring every track to function with only one acoustic guitar.
The new LP features 10 songs spanning 38 minutes of runtime. The release party at Echo Taste & Sound requires attendees to be 21 or older.
