SXSW 2023 – The Sounds, Part 3

Thursday, March 30, 2023 By Mayer Danzig

Jon Dee Graham

ROANOKE Another on my short list of new to me artists for me this year was Roanoke. They bore more than a passing resemblance to the fictional Daisy Jones and the Six in both song and spirit. A good thing in my book. JAKE BLOUNT Jake Blount is a true student of American music.  So […]

Mayer’s Playlist for Feb/Mar 2022, Part 2

Wednesday, March 16, 2022 By Mayer Danzig

Not Ready Yet, Jamie McDell (from the ABC Music release Jamie McDell) I’ve been not so patiently awaiting the latest release from New Zealand’s Jamie McDell.  Her 2019 EP was a tremendous introduction to her songwriting talent, especially the pull no punches “Botox” and the raw emotion of “Worst Crime”.  Both songs are featured, alongside […]

Mayer’s Playlist for Fall 2021, Part 2

Wednesday, December 01, 2021 By Mayer Danzig

Cityview, The Accidentals (from the self-released Vessels) With the addition of drummer Michael Dause the Accidentals have expanded their musical palette into full-on rock territory.  Songs like opener “Count the Rings”, “Rollercoaster” and “Slow and Steady” bristle with an electric guitar and bass fueled energy.  That said, the group also mine familiar acoustic cello and […]

Thursday, July 22, 2021 By Mayer Danzig

Breaking a Heart/The Wind’s Just Gonna Blow, Jack Ingram, Miranda Lambert, and Jon Randall (from the Sony Music Nashville release The Marfa Tapes) If you thought their song “Tin Man” was achingly beautiful, they’ve got a few more from their time in Marfa that just might make your eyes a little misty.  I couldn’t decide […]

Thursday, June 03, 2021 By Mayer Danzig

The Wind’s Just Gonna Blow, Miranda Lambert, Jon Randall, and Jack Ingram (from the Vanner Records/RCA Nashville release The Marfa Tapes) Lambert, Randall, and Ingram.  Kind of sounds like a law firm, doesn’t it?  In this case it’s a trio of songwriters who have just released some intimate recordings from their writing retreats in Marfa, […]

Folk Alliance 2018 – Mayer’s Picks, Part 1

Tuesday, February 27, 2018 By Mayer Danzig

The Accidentals I first saw this young trio from Michigan at Folk Alliance a few years ago. They were certainly talented then but several more years of writing and performing have propelled them into another musical stratosphere. I caught them several times — at least once a day — during the course of the conference, […]

Monday Morning Video – The Accidentals Look “Across the Universe”

Monday, January 08, 2018 By Mayer Danzig

In a turbulent world it’s sometimes nice to get lost in music. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more uplifting moment of escape than this version of the Beatles “Across the Universe.” Talented folk trio the Accidentals are joined by members of the Decemberists for this mesmerizing performance.
