Greg Jones (Co-Owner, Co-Editor)- Greg is a lifelong musician and music lover from western Pennsylvania, currently living in Ohio. He’s an avid fan of great harmonies and vocal blending. He mostly writes about acoustic, folk, and roots country artists. His most important personal music interests include Eagles, Larry Norman, Relient K, and Good Old War. Always looking for the next great harmony band, Greg is particularly interested in your cousin’s band if they sound like CSNY.
Matt Simon (Co-Owner, Co-Editor) – is passionate about showing the next generation what they are missing by listening to the radio. He was raised on classic rock and Neil Diamond, though his tastes have expanded greatly since. It is his strongly held belief that the Midwest produces everything good in this world and will gladly discuss that fact over coffee. All the major events in his life have a soundtrack attached to it like an audio scrapbook. He loves to listen to the likes of Ryan Adams and Frank Turner; wishes he was as cool as Josh Homme, and still foolishly believes that Led Zeppelin will reunite. He resides near Cleveland, Ohio.

Hello there,
My name is Chelsey and I am a huge fan of your work and the artistry that goes into it. I am currently learning how to play the acoustic guitar and it would be a pleasure if I could play your song Every Other Sunday Morning but I can not seem to find the chords on the internet, so is there any possible way someone could email me the chords so I could learn to play. It would be awesome playing the song.
Thank-you for taking your time to read this:

Chelsey,
We are not artists. We’re bloggers. Best of luck finding the band you intended to find.
All the best,
Greg @ETTG
Love your homepage and musical choices you make. Would love to suscribe to your instagram site. Can‘t find your account.

Would it be possible to submit a new folk-styled album of original songs for review? Thank you Elmer Hawkes Cambridge
Please check the submissions page for details on how to do that, but yes we accept submissions.
i need my music to be published
Sorry we are not music publishers. We’re just bloggers. Good luck with your music, though.
Just wanted to say today is a good day….because I discovered your site, and your approach and heart…which warms mine.
I will be reaching out and submitting…no need too reply, just wanted you to know you made my day!

Glad to have your comment here, Kevin. Hopefully you find much music to bring you joy.
I find it comical that you guys think you’re helping artists when you are actually part of the problem. All of the muzak on this site is pretentious garbage. Thank you for proving that success can literally be bought, and thank you for your contributions to the downfall of good music.
I’m sorry you feel that way. We have a lot of artists who thank us for the coverage that we provide. There are people that tell us all the time about new music they discover on our website. I hope that you will find help for the anger you have in your heart that would make you go out of your way to post something like this. We love what we do and the music we find. Here’s hoping you find music that brings joy to your life as well.
Bought a review through groover and right before the deadline, which means right before we get our money back, we get a very short message, with hardly any feedback, just so they can cash in the review money.
Hi Otis – Thanks for your comment. I’m sorry you felt like it was “hardly any feedback.” We get about 30-50 tracks per day between our two submission platforms and do our best to give each submission an honest listen. We are curating for the site where we write as well as multiple playlists that we maintain. I’m sorry that you felt like it wasn’t worth what you paid. We do our best to keep up, but it’s a lot.
Hi. Do you accept independent album release reviews? Thank you a lot.
