I’m super late (vacation, and some technical issues) to getting this to ya’ll but hey music is music.

2 Comments[F]riday at the Folk Fest may have been a rainy day affair, but as far as opening the Festival, we had a great opportunity to get our groove on, checking out sets from Amanda “F-ing” Palmer, Phosphorescent, Blake Mills backed up by Dawes, The Milk Carton Kids, folk upstarts Kingsley Flood, Houndmouth, John McCaulley of Deer Tick and closed out the day as the sun peeked through the clouds with the Old Crow Medicine Show. Take a look at our first day in photos from our photographer, Jamie Reiley, and let us know which show you most enjoyed.

There’s a certain, touching vibe to “Song for Zula,” that really hits you straight in the heart. It feels contemplative, heart-warming, and almost soul-crushing at the same time. It’s a fragile sounding track, the layered synths, and the weeping pedal steel along with the string assortments really create a truly earnest feel to one of the nicest sounding tracks we’ve heard this year. Super excited to hear what else Matthew Houck has in store for…
