The Burney Sisters – “Unbearable”-I try not to use loaded language like “darlings” when referring to artists, but these two are certainly indie darlings. They have a charming sound with both strings and intricate vocals. The overall sound is timeless folk music that …

Eight new folk and singer songwriter tunes
Simon Alexander – “Home”-I’ve been known to crack a joke or two about the prevalence of the title “Home” for songs, but Alexander really brings something unique for this one. It’s not your typical handy clappy celebration of the ones we left back …
