If You Haven’t Heard – Donovan Woods
This one is going to be a keeper folks, the fourth installment of If You Haven’t Heard – “Donovan Woods”. Oh, did I mention we also have an unreleased new song as well?? Well, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. I have been listening to Donovan Woods for a little while, and in that short…

Cranes & Crows – Blame Winter (2008)
While linking through some of my MySpace artists that I have already posted on, I came across a connected artist that I should have already found, and didn’t know why I had missed it. Cranes & Crows is the work of Paul Brandt who has worked with the previously profiled project, The Cloud Hymn, and…

Lisa Cerbone
Pixie voiced songstress Lisa Cerbone enters your ears and washes over you, sending melodies to assist in falling deeply into a relaxed state. But wait…don’t get too relaxed, you don’t want to miss anything! This is how I feel hearing the songs of Cerbone, I feel her stories soothe and keep me listening over and…

Bosco and the Lonely Drunks
So other than this self imposed mugshot photo of Marcus Jönsson (aka Bosco), I don’t know much about this Swede. I tried to contact him through through his MySpace page and got no response, and there is not much new material there outside of some upcoming live gigs, so here it is a post none…

Joanne Robertson – The Lighter (2008)
The new album from Joanne Robertson currently out on Textile Records is currently my favourite lo-fi female singer songwriter spinning my iTunes. This album is bleak, stark, ominous and incredibly good, I mean I am not going to cover something I don’t like…I don’t think. I am starting to digress as I can’t think of…

Del Barber – “Where the City Ends”
Okay I am not going to lie to you here…I am partial to Del Barber. I have never met Del, or even spoken to him face to face, but alas I got this guys back. Why you ask? He is a good old ‘pegger! For those of you who are unaware of the term “pegger”,…

Sheltered In Sound – Field Recordings From the City
“Sheltered in Sound makes music to lean into” That phrase comes directly from the artist bio for Sheltered In Sound and I am trying not to simply ignore it as a general “advertisement” for a style of music that many consider “comfortable”. For some, “comfortable” can be confused for complacent background music or something that…

If You Haven’t Heard – Ghosts I’ve Met
Well here we are at the 3rd installment of “If You Haven’t Heard” and I have some beautiful Americana ballads from “Ghosts I’ve Met”. So put down your whiskey and grab the one that you want to hang onto and press play, you won’t be disappointed. Sam Watts is the heart of this “rotating cast”…

Quintin Nadig’s Sunday beauty
Two Beautiful examples of sparse independent music this blustery (well where I am at least) Sunday. I need better headphones… But I digress, so the other week, I was perusing the internet (like a good blogger) and looking for something to sink my teeth into. I found it in Quintin Nadig’s two releases “Anchor Details”…

Why isn’t this guy famous? (Pt II) – Brown Bird
Sorry for not posting yesterday, it should wet your appetite for a great post…well people, it looks to have all worked out then….everyone, I give you; Brown Bird (or David Lamb) has been around officially for the last 5 years (maybe a bit more actually…), but is finally getting his credit where it has been…

Chriss Sutherland – Who is this guy, no really?
So I admit I am a bit late on this one….2007 release from Chriss Sutherland “Me in a ‘field’”. I found it via a commenter on this blog (Time Fades Away Blog) and a post they had from this past January – they had posted “La Familia” from this album. I, of course, immediately went…

Daniel Ledwell – Two Over Seven
So now that I have caught your attention, lets get down to why you are all here. Great music from the East coast of Canada – the kind without all the highland dancing (sorry inside joke). Okay not all great music is from the East coast of Canada, but there sure is a bit of…
