Fruition – “Wasting Away”
Fruition is one of those bands that it’s hard to categorize. It’s a little bluegrass (mandolin!), it’s a little bit folk, a little bit pop, a little bit of something else really good. Anyway, here’s “Wasting Away”, one of those songs that everyone …
The Dustbowl Revival – John The Revelator

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 …
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 …
