Christina Cavazos – Mile Marker
It’s fashionable these days to whine about how the youth of today don’t do anything except play on their cellphones and can’t interact with anyone except on Snapchat. Â I’m fortunate enough to see and meet many young musicians that contradict that belief. Â Christina Cavazos is one of them. Â She was a finalist in the new […]
Slocan Ramblers – “Mississippi Heavy Water Blues” Song Premiere
It’s festival season here in North America, and every weekend between now and early September will have an Americana music festival of some sort within about a 2 hour drive for probably 98% of the population of the U.S. and Canada.  Many of those events will have a side stage or campground stage that highlights traditional […]
Monday Morning Video – Tracy Bonham
“All Thumbs,” Tracy Bonham‘s ode to the idiosyncrasies and complexities of love is as riveting as it is wistful. This solo piano version plays into the song’s pensive notes, making it even more alluring in the process. You can find the song on Bonham’s impressive 2005 release Blink the Brightest.

I was totally gonna play another song but Spotify tells me you like this one better. Lincoln Durham I don’t play any happy […]
Sarah White – “Carry Me Over” Song Premiere
 Sometimes you go to a restaurant you’ve never been to so you can order their homemade biscuits.  It’s still comfort food, but with a little variety over your normal routine.  That’s the analogy I’m going to use for the soon-to-be-released album from Virginia native Sarah White.  High Flyer has the folk and country and Americana […]
Monday Morning Video – James McMurtry “Levelland”
There’s perhaps only one thing better than hearing James McMurtry play his remarkable “Levelland” and that’s watching him perform it in a pastoral setting that is so fitting for the song.

Pharis and Jason Romero – Sweet Old Religion
The sun comes up over the pine trees, darkness and shadowy forms give way to the crispness of the air and the glint reflected off the lake. Daylight accentuates the feeling that it’s going to be a beautiful day with nothing but great things on the horizon, regardless of the distresses of yesterday. Â That’s the […]
