William Fitzsimmons – Find Me To Forgive
For those of you who really haven’t been paying attention to music, here’s a video of William Fitzsimmons singing one of his most honest and saddest songs, “Find Me to Forgive”. Fitzsimmons has distanced himself from every other musician making music today because …
Donavon Frankenreiter – “Shine”
The whole purpose of the YouTube Gem segment is to help people find exceptional music that seems to be slipping through the cracks. Sometimes that’s an undiscovered artist. Often it’s a known artist doing a recording that most of us don’t know exist. …
Moor Hound – Stifled Spirit
Simple, pretty, relatable tunes are what come from the Moor Hound release, Stifled Spirit. Steve Marino brings his sweet sounds from Bloomington, IN, and these sounds are hitting on exactly what the country/folk/Americana genres are producing; good, honest lyrics and palatable instrumentation combining …

Not up and coming by any stretch, but Ben Harper has become one of the most prolific artists of our generation relatively quietly. He’s also become the Carlos Santana of our generation, beginning as a solo artist and gradually becoming a professional collaborator …
The Postmen – Desert of Joy
Those of you who follow our YouTube Page knows that I’ve been liking a lot of multitrack music lately. I kept running into a lot of pop multitrack but not much folk, so I dug a little deeper to find this absolute GEM …
Robinson – “Sidewalk Reunion”
Robinson recently released an EP, Fits & Starts, that we talked about before Christmas and the first track on the 3 song EP is this one, called “Sidewalk Reunion”. It’s a really cool, mostly acoustic track with some great vocals and interesting percussion. The …
