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…

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…

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…

Old Smog (and new Bill Callahan) on tap for my Sunday
Just getting into the new Bill Callahan album “Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle” which is due on April 14th through Drag City. While it is definitely Bill, it is a new Bill Callahan – He might have soared like said eagle and just maybe moved on from the classic Smog sound. Okay,…

Recommendations to me – Nathan Xander. Recommendation from me – Nathan Xander
So I get a recommendation – I get a lot of recommendations – but this one was from someone that I trust and someone not looking to “sell” me on anything. I take the recommendation, I listen. I listen some more, and I like. I like a lot. I am a firm believer that music…
