I Will Be Listening to Garrett Pierce This Weekend.
So one of the benefits of music blogging is musicians and labels and people in “the biz” tend to know each other and recommend back and forth to themselves AND you. The good thing is often artists of the same ilk will fall into same circles, discuss with same folks and recommend each other. Not…

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…

I’m Going to The Deep Dark Woods Next Week, So There.
So Friday, April 17th, 2009 I am taking the Mrs. to see some good ol’ Saskatchewan Countrified Canadiana (or SCC as we know it) in The Deep Dark Woods. This is going to be good. I already think “Winter Hours” is a top 10 album (or top 5) at this point and with the immediate…

Fraser’s “House on a Hill” finds itself a home.
To my delight, another Canuck has impressed me with his fouray into the making of great music. The kind of music that despite being part of the same album, has the ability to range from full on folk to indie rock ballad. This album was such a nice surprise that I find myself immediately putting…

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…

Git Yer Friday Music Blog downloads.
I hope to provide you, the reader, a selection of songs for your Friday. Not a crazy 23 song playlist, it is just 4 songs that caught the ear. Some music that I am very familiar with, some not so much. Overall, what more can you ask for? It’s Friday (of a long week for…

Absolutely The Best Unreleased Recordings – J. Tillman
So anyone who knows me knows that I am a little bit ridiculous about J. Tillman – the solo stuff. Not that everyone immediately jumps his role in Fleet Foxes anymore, as most of you know him separate from his day job (I hope). That being said, I almost wept uncontrollably when Adrian over at…

French Quarter has my hump day covered
This has been circling the webs for a couple of years, but just thought I would drag it out for a Wednesday. I am having an ass week and just needed something to cheer me up. A couple of ultra lo-fi covers are something that always makes me just a little bit warmer inside. You…

If You Haven’t Heard – The Vega Star
Sorry I have been remiss on the “If You Haven’t Heard” series here on Slowcoustic, but we have someone that you need to hear…if you haven’t heard. It’s corny I know, but sometimes it is simply a fact, The Vega Star is a band you will want to hear. The Vega Star are a Wisconsin…
