  • What I’m Listening To This Weekend. You Should Be Too.

    So what will be spinning around the homestead this weekend?  Well see below for a breakdown of talent on tap – it is a bit all over the map (not really), but at least there is a bit of selection I think.  This is all subject to change as I will be hitting the streets…

  • Beauty in Pairs – Sarah Winchester and Tara Jane O’Neil

    So I stumbled across a little bit of a sampler a week or so ago.  Somehow found it while floundering around various links on the interwebs due to my love of the Sarah Winchester EP (posted on it here – Highly Recommended).  Turns out that this Cascadia compilation hosted a pre-release version of “Oh the…

  • What’s new around Slowcoustic HQ? Well….

    Just sitting around in the “war room” of the internet media distribution centre here at Slowcoustic and was just doing a status check.  I know what you are thinking – “But Sman, this could take years of 3rd party inspections, focus groups, revenue audits…it’s not worth it!”.  Well friends, let’s do it the old fashion…

  • Saturday Playlist(s) and New on the ‘Nets – a duo (trio) post!

    So I haven’t done a “New on the ‘Nets” post in a while, but I did post some recommendations on Thursday already…so, this may be a condensed version.  So in order to fill out the post, a Saturday Playlist is in order!!

  • Things I Know and Things I’m listening to.

    Sorry for the no post yesterday, just lost a bit of love for the blog for a day, what can I tell ya?  Well there might be a day or two that gets missed this long weekend as well due to an “over-nighter” with the Mrs. for a couple of nights HERE.  It pays to…

  • Sarah Winchester’s “Northeast Kingdom Demos”

    A Nice surprise was discovering Sarah Winchester’s 5 track demo release over on the Team-Love website.  You might know Winchester as the same ethereal voice that keep the band “A Weather” on the Slowcoustic radar (also highly recommended).  Her recent EP is so incredibly delicate and gorgeous that it is heartbreaking and warming at the…

  • More people need Matt Bauer on a Friday. A Banjo Friday!

    Matt Bauer – is there another contemporary folk musician who enjoys his banjo more than Matt?  I am not sure, as that list of musicians might be longer than one might think.  Well in my opinion, he just might be near the front of this particular line of finger pickin’ enthusiasts.  The brother wields a…

  • Another Incredible Free EP – The Prayers and Tears of Arthur Digby Sellers’ “Redux”

    Don’t let the name “The Prayers and Tears of Arthur Digby Sellers” distract you here.  Regardless if you have to stop and say it a few times, work it around your mouth, think it through a few times and then confidently say it aloud.  The band has the sound that will catch you far more…

  • To Trini: You Are Correct, Everyone should Love Guggenheim Grotto

    Fellow blogger friend Trini over at You Crazy Dreamers cannot say a bad thing about her mates Guggenheim Grotto.  She even went so far as to join them on a recent set of shows across the pond and it sounded like a great little trip and tour – great music, great pints, great couple of…
