Slowcoustic Recommends…Thomas J Speight
Sure you find yourself trolling the internet for music, listen to websites, discuss with friends, but sometimes it finds you.

Sean Rowe’s New Album is “Magic”
When you hear Sean Rowe start up, you can’t help but picture a gothic version of the South, or what I envision what the South would be like. As I don’t really know much of the real South and I am sure many residents of this mythical “South” would guffaw at this Canadian, I still…
