So I happen to have an extra copy of the re-release of the Sharon Van Etten debut CD. Long story (not really) about having two, but the end result is that you readers are benefiting from it. The story goes… Yours truly orders a CD once they were available and SVE sends it out with…

Andrew Bryant’s “Galilee” makes me a believer
I have waited on this one, and I don’t know why. The new album from Andrew Bryant came out July 9th, 2009 and is Bryant’s 5th release to date. This album is right at the top of my indie folk rock stack of releases, and for good reason. So this stack of indie folk rock…

Newest facination: foreign female singer-songwriters! Haruko’s “Wild Geese” being the reason
Sorry for some downtime on the blog lately, life getting in the way: Family visiting, little access to the “spare room” or “Slowcoustic Headquarters” as I know it. Also quit the day job on Friday – newly working for private business (no longer a corporate monkey) on web & marketing! Very excited. So I have…

A Band We Need More From: Hezekiah Jones
I just want to say that I would like more of Hezekiah Jones. Raphael Cutrufello (and crew) were introduced to myself via the good folks at Yer Bird Records and after 2 solid albums, some compilation work and a nice split with Chris Bathgate (see video below) – but I still need more. Compared to…

Brown Bird preps new album release: “The Devil Dancing” – sun comes out, air smells sweeter
It is true my friends, Brown Bird has new material hitting the proverbial streets this October. News as such makes this blogger a happy fellow. Dave Lamb is the driving force behind the musical entity that is Brown Bird and he has been a favourite for a few years. See previous post HERE and the…

Song of the Day – Jon Crocker’s “Moved to Nebraska”
Don’t know much about Nebraska – drove through it once and spent the night at a small low rent chain motel on the outskirts of Lincoln. Saw lots of corn fields (from the side of the road), a truck with a personalized license plate with “Hunters” on it and endless 2 door coupes with “support…

Strand of Oaks Live at The Nave (2009 performance)
Another live session from Strand of Oaks has hit the interwebs, and we all know this is a good thing. I have been a fan of SoO (or Tim Showalter) for some time (see previous interview and Live at the Nave 2008 HERE). When Tim let me know his February session is now available over…

In The Post – Thomas Western, The Steals & Trevor Giuliani
What has been circling the submission circles here at the blog? Well a fair amount of stuff! You would think with the sheer amount of music bloggers these days that there aren’t enough artists to go around! ….sorry inside blogger joke, kinda. I thought I would feature 3 artists that all cover different sounds but…

Huck Notari’s “Very Long Dream” is Very much NOT long enough!
When one visits a site like mine and listens to music, one gets and idea of the style of music you will often be subject to everytime you come back. While there is nothing wrong with blogs that cover multiple genres of music and even have a “media information” feel and cover movies, celebrity, cultural…

Who said “Alt-Country” was dead? Song of the Day – “My Girl Baltimore” by Paul Masson
Sometimes I get in a mood. My mood is currently set clearly in the land of late night dusk across the plains of Maryland. Wait? Maryland? Yes, Maryland. Paul Masson delivered to myself (just yesterday) a fine example of why I could have been born in Texas in the 50’s. Great country (or Alt-Country for…

New Favourite – Sea of Bees
So after my Ladies Night post on the weekend, I am really getting into Sea of Bees. I mean getting enthralled with Sea of Bees is more accurate – I can’t stop listening. This one is going to be big for me I think. She (Julie Bees) is but 24 years of age and has…

Ladies Night – Volume Four
Here we are with another episode of ‘Ladies Night”, and this looks like volume four…so you know we have worked the kinks out, right?? With such posts it is difficult to segue into the post as such, being a man I often sit back, mouth agape at the intricacies of women. I did dig into…
