While perusing the Interwebs for delicious Christmasness, I found this little gem. It’s free… like a present. Enjoy! (And please, please share this wonderful music.)

EP Roundup: Fiction Family, Robinson
First things first: all of these EPs are free on Noisetrade right now (see embedded downloaders below). Fiction Family is the brainchild and musical outlet of Jon Foreman, the frontman from Switchfoot, and Sean Watkins, former guitarist and vocalist of Nickel Creek. It’s …
Artist Interview: Onward, Soliders
I can’t even remember how I initially found Onward, Soldiers, but they had such a varied sound I wanted to know more about them. I got in touch with their PR people and set up this interview. Check out their fantastic answers to …
Dan and the Wildfire – Smoke Signals
The newest album by the quartet hailing from the northeastern US, Smoke Signals, should have people drawing comparisons between Dan and the Wildfire and Blitzen Trapper. A blog favorite, Blitzen Trapper has often crafted albums that are both uniformly Blitzen Trapper and also contain songs …

This past Wednesday, I saw Milo Greene for the fourth time (second as a headliner) and was instantly and consistently reminded why I’ve seen them every chance I’ve had since love at first sight last fall. Their mystifying energy, heart-melting harmonies, and fully …
Kate Earl – Stronger
The first time I heard Kate Earl’s single “Melody” I found her voice and style insatiable. I shared it with lots of friends, hoping to single-handedly make her a superstar. But I soon realized she didn’t need my help. Her talent was enough. …
Shovels and Rope – O’ Be Joyful
While this album certainly seems like it could be a Christmas album (a mistake I made as well), it’s too early for that. This is, instead, one of the best folk albums of 2012, one that sees Cary Ann Hearst and Michael Trent …
Pebaluna – Baby What’s Wrong
Flickr photo credit user: mia in real life Upon first listen of Pebaluna’s incredible album Carny Life, I was immediately struck by the harmonies of these two amazing performers. I posted on their YouTube page for this live recording of this song. I was …
