Chris Roberts – Red Feather

Thursday, February 25, 2021 By Shawn Underwood Leave a Comment

Life is unpredictable. That’s maybe the lesson learned from Austin native, now Colorado resident Chris Roberts. Unlike many musicians that throw away other opportunities to make music, Roberts’ success as a hat maker drove him to concentrate more on the music, perhaps as a creative counterbalance to the rigors of being a successful entrepreneur. His […]

Geoff Bradford – Texas Psychedelic

Wednesday, February 24, 2021 By Shawn Underwood Leave a Comment

Now Austin based, Geoff Bradford grew up in New York City before living in locales as different as France and Venezuela. That diversity no doubt influenced his musical tastes, as evidenced in his new EP, Texas Psychedelic. If there’s a musical theme that runs through the record, I’d have to say it’s 70’s pop, with […]

Brazos in My Bones – a Premiere from Stefan Prigmore

Wednesday, February 24, 2021 By Mayer Danzig Leave a Comment

There’s something special about a Texas songwriter. The stories that they share are richly colorful, filled with characters who live life by their own rules. The more outrageous the tale, the more likely that they contain some kernels of truth. Fort Worth’s Stefan Prigmore continues this tradition with pride, spinning yarns as dusty as the […]

Monday Morning Video – Glenn Thomas

Monday, February 22, 2021 By Mayer Danzig Leave a Comment

Although I never wrote about Reassure Me There’s a Window, the 2020 release by Glenn Thomas, it has maintained a place in my musical rotation. The album version of this stunning song about confronting loss is lush and string-laden. This acoustic version, however, lays bare the song’s raw emotion.

Folk Alliance Int’l – Folk Unlocked Preview

Wednesday, February 17, 2021 By Shawn Underwood Leave a Comment

For most of the last several years I’ve flown back east for what I consider to be the most under-appreciated music festival in the country; the annual Folk Alliance International conference. FAI does a tremendous amount of good for musicians, and the conference itself has many seminars targeted to beginners, long-time musicians and industry professionals. […]
