Those Willows is the kind of group that you look for when you’re searching through bandcamp. They have everything, a great folksy sound, great male/female harmonies, good songwriting, and a free download. While we always recommend supporting the artists like them that work …

Guest Review: Hannah and Maggie – Muscle and Bone
The mood of Hannah & Maggie‘s album ‘Muscle & Bone’ was set in the first lines of the first song, ”As You Wake”. This album is rife with delicate finger picking and dreamy vocals, but it kicks off a cappella, with perfectly tight …
George Ogilvie – Far Away
After perusing YouTube for viable up and coming musicians, I’ve been consistently stunned by the quality of young George Ogilvie. While I don’t know much about his career, this original “Far Away” shows that he’s got incredible talent with seemingly limitless potential. Enjoy …
Ben Rector/NeedtoBreathe – Hide Away vs. Washed By The Water
This video is primarily in the vein of DJs world wide. But these two artist and these two particular songs, incredible are their own, are pretty special when mashed together. I encourage you to listen the whole way through and enjoy, even if …

The Lumineers – “Stubborn Love”
The Lumineers, in all their Grammy-nominated glory, have surpassed the “up-and-coming” label we’ve given our site. But when we first heard their self-titled debut, we knew they’d be the kind of band that put some new life into the music scene. Here’s a …
Those Willows – “Blue Spotted Tail”
I love covers. Hardly matters who does the cover, as long as it’s good, or what the cover is. But when a new up and coming band that I really like (Those Willows, new album review next week) covers another band that practically …
