Bowerbirds Video “Northern Lights” is this Sunday’s Soundtrack

Bowerbirds show me (by mere coincidence) that they are cheering for Canadian Olympic Gold….yeah, that’s it…

Fresh off the presses: 2 new Elephant Micah releases and tour dates galore!

So you know I am a fan of Joe O’Connell’s…Elephant Micah persona. It is just so good…his vocals simply kiss the landscape of his open prairie folk fusion sound.

Hoquiam’s Self Titled Release brings me into the fold

With the addition of Drake to the established sound of Damien, we definitely move to the aforementioned gothic part – these songs are just small vignettes of small town life…

White Pines issue 7″ Vinyl – Slowcoustic passes on the love: win a copy (or 2) why don’t you!

You could say that Joseph Scott (and crew) provide, in my opinion, the definition of the Michigan “folk” scene

Little Yosemite’s “…Through the Winter” EP is aptly named and great seasonal folk

not something to put on at a party to “get it started”, but something you put on to sit back & immerse yourself into: steady percussion/pin-points of banjo/echoing voice of James McGaha

The start of the Olympics is today, so it’s Canadian content ONLY: Corey Isenor’s fantastic “Frost” album!

What has surfaced is an indie folk-pop album that literally came out of nowhere for me. In a way that you sit there and you actually try to sing along to the songs…

New Tracks that I almost skipped over – Laura Gibson/Ethan Rose, The Abramson Singers and Slow Six!

The Abramson Singers, Slow Six and Laura Gibson & Ethan Rose get nods via a track from each of their respective recently released albums.

Lazy times around Slowcoustic HQ…

So if you are a regular reader of this site (what?) you might have noticed a bit of a slow down in posts the last few weeks. I’m sorry, bad music blogger – I know!

Hitide.Lotide provide us a gift in the new EP “Cross-Legged”

hitide.lotide is Nate Gruber and his talented friends and they bring you acoustic folk that is soo fragile you fear it just might break if not held close…
