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…

Akron/Family – another reason to go to the Calgary Folk Fest
So Akron Family are on tour. They are on tour and stopping at the Calgary Folk Fest for a couple of shows. I know I am thinking of hitting up the Twilight stage on Saturday to see about the show (it lists them last, so I assume a 8:00pm start??). Regardless, I have been listening…

Video fest Tuesday – The Rural Alberta Advantage go acoustic on Camera Music!
The video speaks for itself! The banter stops at about the minute mark and then the acoustic goodness begins (there are 2 tracks in total, “Rush Apart” followed by “The Deathbridge in Lethbridge”, so don’t give in too early). Enjoy a NXNE edition of Camera Music. ~Smansmith

Chris Garneau: “Hands on the Radio” via They Shoot Music
Love this song, probably my favourite off the new album “El Radio”. This is a few months old, but was recorded prior to the release of the new album (in October of 2008!!!) but it needs more airplay. Stunning, watch it the entire way through, please. ~Smansmith p.s. There will be more Chris Garneau love…

Song of the Day – Dan Michaelson & The Coastguards’ “Bust”
Today’s Song of the Day comes from across the pond and Dan Michaelson and the Coastguards. I am not sure if they are actual nautical specialists, but they do craft some nice salty melodies. The song is “Bust” and is from the 2009 release of “Saltwater” which was recommended from one of my good online…

Horse Feathers do in fact have a home
…it is over at HearYa, with the newly released live session with Horse Feathers recorded in early May 2009. If you like Horse Feathers, you will love this session. The use of instruments: the aching of the violin, the pining of the saw, all along Justin Ringle’s voice holding you transfixed. These live session tracks…

Slowcoustic Recommends…Thomas J Speight

This is what happens when you have a music blog – people find you and often it is so-so, sometimes it is horrible, and now and again you find something that you really like. I…

I am a HUGE fan of Scott Cudmore’s Camera Music series on AUX TV and he has provided another awesome episode with Justin Rutledge (looking forward to seeing him this summer here in Calgary). In familiar Camera Music fashion there is a “day in the life” feel to the series – you can definitely find…
