Miner
Start your day with “A Morning Song” from Miner this week and see if the world doesn’t look a little brighter. The folk-rock family band from L.A. partnered with Matt Linesch (Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros) to record this new single from their forthcoming EP, Headwaters. If “A Morning Song” is any indication of what’s to come from Miner, this is definitely a band we need to keep an eye on. Give the effervescent single, “A Morning Song”, a listen here…
Jason Hawk Harris
Jason Hawk Harris might be the guitarist for The Show Ponies, but he’s about to break out in his own light with this new single. “The Smoke and the Stars” combines vocals that pull on your heartstrings with stellar musicianship for a new Americana classic. This haunting number proves quite the stunning debut for Harris’ solo effort. Let’s hope there’s more music in store for us from Jason Hawk Harris. In the meantime, enjoy “The Smoke and the Stars” below…
Town Meeting
Town Meeting brings that front porch feel right through your speakers and into your home with their new single, “New Hampshire”. The lively Americana act outta New England has shared stages with Sturgill Simpson, Old Crow Medicine Show, Willie Nelson, and the Avett Brothers, amongst others. I bet they left every single show with new fans. Once you hear the catchy energy of “New Hampshire” you’ll totally understand why.
Smith & Thell
This Stockholm duo sounds like they could be making their buoyant brand of folk-pop right in the heart of Nashville, rather than, you know, Sweden. Smith & Thell released their debut EP, Soulprints, earlier this month and “Toast” is the perfect single for your next impromptu Grrrls Night brought on by boyfriend douchey-ness. And if the words of that last sentence don’t resonate with you, this might not be your new jam… but it’s definitely mine. Check out “Toast” from Smith & Thell below or head here for the complete LP.
THESELANDS
The rustic vocals and Indie-Americana instrumentation of THESELANDS adds an earthy sound to the L.A. scene. “Reckoning” comes to us from the band’s 2017 EP, Enough for Love. Songwriter Dylan Lee Kalogris sits at the helm on THESELANDS and sets a somber tone on this single with in the lyrics well-matched to the alt-country sound. Give “Reckoning” from THESELANDS a spin below…
