Sometimes it’s better to just let the original words speak for themselves. Here’s a quote from Elisa’s bio: She’s earned songwriting awards from the Plowshares Songwriting Contest, Sisters Folk Festival, Great American Song Contest, Song of the Year, Song Prize, and the Philadelphia Songwriters’ Project. Elisa’s songs have graced networks such as HBO, VH1, and […]
Heather Stewart Shows Us What It IS
Heather Stewart is enchanting, genuine, powerful, and (most importantly) grounded. Formerly a producer for E!’s Talk Soup, something about working behind the scenes didn’t feel right. This drive to be in front of the camera eventually led Ms. Stewart to resign as television producer. After Talk Soup she hit the ground running with the Inda […]

The Jinxes Send Me A Sign
Any time I hear an acoustic guitar accompanied by orchestral instrumentation in a pristine mix, I feel great inside. The Jinxes must have heard my call for something a little different and refreshing because on this EP they definitely Send Me A Sign. When the disc ends with the song Send Me A Sign and I […]
The Heavy Guilt
The Heavy Guilt have delivered one of the most solid albums I have heard this year. Imagine the classic essence of Led Zeppelin thrown into a cauldron with the poetic psychedelia of The Doors, the grittiness of The Velvet Underground, and the more modern nuances of The Black Keys for an intriguing stew of funky […]
The Recreation Station Make Room For The Sun
Shawn Wiederhoeft is, more or less, The Recreation Station. You should go read the interview. Room For The Sun is as serious – as in seriously good – as it is fun. Shawn’s flavor of indie folk rock is an uplifting experience balanced between playful rhythms and a gritty sandstorm. It’s pure energy. This album […]
