Shovels & Rope
We are just two weeks away from the release of the new album, Little Seeds, from Shovels & Rope and earlier today the duo premiered their latest tune, “Botched Execution,” accompanied by a super-slick video made to look like a retro comic book. The song is hip-shaking, boot-stomping fun about
La Sera
Los Angeles musician Katy Goodman recently turned her band La Sera into a duo that now includes her husband Todd Wisenbaker, and earlier this year the two released their first album together Music for Listening to Music to. On September 30th they will be releasing a digital only EP titled

It’s a time of change here in the great Northeast. Evenings are sweatshirt and fire pit worthy, football teams everywhere are prepping to dominate our Sundays… hell, some leaves have already hit the ground. Fall is upon us, and things are about to get downright chilly. So, if you’
Shovels & Rope
There’s a whole lot of anticipation building for the new album, Little Seeds, and it goes without saying that we are pretty big fans of Shovels & Rope, so it’s my pleasure to be able to share with you the lovely video for the new single, “St. Anne’

Saturday at the Folk Fest… Remember our Friday Folk post where the discussion of cloning oneself so that you could catch all the acts came to life. Well Saturday’s lineup had me tossing and turning trying to figure out how to pull off something of this magnitude for perfect
Newport Folk Festival

Friday at the Folk Fest… Really very hard to believe that we are already a week removed from the shear greatness that was NFF ’16 and all we have now are our memories to keep us going through the normal routine of our lives. Nothing wrong with that of course.
Regina Spektor
It’s been four long years since we have had new music from New York singer-songwriter Regina Spektor and the wait is finally over. Spektor’s upcoming album, Remember Us To Life, will be released September 30th via Sire/Warner Bros. Records and we have the lead off single, “Bleeding
it was romance
It might just be my specific vintage, but I feel like the “x was 20 years ago, can you believe it?” stuff is coming fast and furious these days; every day it’s the anniversary of something that seems like just yesterday. Well, It Was Romance is going to go
