This post was written by Brent Hitchcock, one of the winners of our Review Contest! Thanks to Brent for this awesome work. Look forward to reading more from him soon. Last year, I had the pleasure of hearing Burlap to Cashmere live at …

Ben Abraham – Timberline (Emmylou Harris cover)
An awesome Aussie acoustic artist (see what I did there, alliteration fans?) covering a great American songwriter and performer… how could we pass it up? This is an incredible multiple listen delight. Ben Abraham’s style is nothing short of brilliant, easy, and so …
Lindsay Lou and the Flatbellys – All Day
There are two things that make me want to share a song with you all at ETTG. One is that the band has a cool name (check) and the other is that the music is actually good. I really like this relatively traditional …
Joshua Hyslop – Where the Mountain Meets the Valley

This video represents two exceptional qualities that vary from videos that we tend to post. One, it’s a cover. We usually feature original work. Second, it has quite a few hits on YouTube. We like to feature the “hidden gems” of the music …
Micah Turbitt – Oh Come Oh Come Emanuel
This is going to be the last Christmas song I’ll post this year, but I doubt it will be my last Micah Turbitt post. Every once in a while you run across someone so talented that you just sort of stop and let …
The Staves – Icarus
Awesome find by Greg on this one. The Staves are a very popular group in their native England, having played with Bon Iver and Fionn Regan. Their sound is sort of a slightly more mellow, female Mumford and Sons. It’s a cool vibe. …
Best of 2012: Greg’s Top 10 Albums
Albums might actually be more difficult to compile than best songs. There’s no easy way to determine one album as better than another. Instead, we make our judgments based largely in how we feel about a particular album as a whole. For me, …
