Back in April, I posted another track from Chordslinger n’ Lola, the internet collaborating team of singer (Lola de Hanna) and instrumentalist, song-writer, Chordslinger. I can’t help but be impressed by the music these two have created together. This time out, they’ve created a tribute to Greece and the socioeconomic situation that is going on there. The music and the singing is all top notch. Taking on the issue of Greece’s dilemma is a hot-button issue, I’m sure, for some; But this…
Read MoreThanks to fellow blogger Fabric Sound, for getting me started on the French alterna-folk-pop trio We Were Evergreen. This band is quirky, yet accessible and a bit prolific! There are a lot of videos to choose from out there. The band has a web site, where you can get a free download of this track, Vintage Car, but otherwise the site is a bit sketchy on details.

Check out Jenn’s web page for a whole lot of information, including this video as well as the equally wonderful and touching ballad, Jealous of the Angels. Read Jenn Bostic’s “About” page too, as there is a lot of information about how Jenn…
Read MoreLet’s be clear, you could purchase Barnaby Saints, six song EP from their Bandcamp site on the strength of Bones alone; But that won’t be necessary. A lousy $5 will get you what has to be described as six indie-rock-bluegrass tunes that will have you feeling good and singing along, regardless of the lyric line. I’d predict that the Barnaby Saints would go far, but the music business is an evil little prick these days. What gets noticed is usually not worth being…
