Olof Arnalds - An Icelandic sound, without the ice...

She's wonderfully welcoming, and her voice is just charming.

Slow Club...

has always been a favorite of mine, but they have some new songs up, so give them a listen.

Slow Club

Swedish Folk

This guy is just simple and does folk so well. So, welcome some folk tunes all the way from good Sweden. He's been known to play with Bon Iver as well, a wonderful combo if you ask me. Listen here...

Brit Indie Pop delivered by Noah & The Whale

My love for these guys is really undying...

Noah and the Whale Soiree a Emporter by Nat of La Blogotheque.

Sam Amidon - a modern folk musician

Now, I have had the pleasure of interviewing this musician and also seeing him perform a few times, and his voice is really nothing short of stellar. I know that old school American Folk is not always everyone's cup of tea, I know it certainly took me a while to grow into, but give him a listen and I think you might start coming around.

now, a little good americana.

I had the pleasure of seeing this guy play the past week opening with Anni Rossi for Noah & the Whale... everyone, a round of applause for Ferraby Lionheart:

to begin... a little Wilco

The old Wilco are back. Yes. Yes they are. Thanks to someone leaking the new album a month before the official release, the band has counter acted by posting a stream of the full album. Enjoy, everyone... and for those not still convinced about Wilco, give it a listen. If you still don't like them, well... I won't understand it, but I'll accept it. (and, I don't mean that in a snobbish way, I promise).
