In anticipation of Gary Clark Jr.’s new album, Blak and Blu, which is a stupid title, this is a video of “When My Train Pulls In”. It’s one of the best songs on the album and really shows what he’s capable of. The album is …

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals – “Goodbye Kiss”
I love Grace Potter. I may actually be in love with her. She has an incredibly soulful voice, she writes simple songs that have strong meanings and she plays a mean piano. She seems to be more honest and genuine than any other woman …
YouTube Gem: Ha Ha Tonka – Black Betty
Chances are you’ve heard of Ha Ha Tonka, but you probably couldn’t name a song of theirs. Their name shows up everywhere, they’ve been on “No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain”, they’ve toured with Cory Chisel and The Wandering Sons and have played at …

Green River Ordinance is not a new band. They’ve been around for almost 10 years, quietly making music that a lot of people don’t know that they already know. They’ve been featured on countless TV shows and have been touring consistently for a …
