Ryan Spearman – Foolish Apprehension
This is the kind of song that is why we even invented the YouTube Gem concept. This recording is not brand new, but it’s an absolute diamond in the rough. It’s storytelling and wonderful. Spearman channels a serious Roger Miller sound in fantastic …
Annie Dressner – East Twenties EP
Annie Dressner has an adorable voice. Her music is small and quaint, but perfectly befitting the style of music she performs. While I’m somewhat inclined to say she’s for fans of Ingrid Michaelson, she certainly has a style all her own. Fans of …
