Formed in Paris in 2003, CocoRosie is a musical group created by the sisters Bianca “Coco” and Sierra “Rosie” Casady. Their bizarrely awesome music is of the “freak folk” nature and has some traces of pop, blues, opera, electronica and hip hop. sweeeeet. They tour frequently in Europe and the US, and have released three [...]

Jenny and Tyler are a really cute, musical couple who met at the University of Delaware. I really liked their folky, mellow sound (they kinda remind me of The Weepies), and signed up for their mailing list so i could download their free music. Upon doing this, I somehow got into an email conversation with [...]

Justin Vernon (frontman) is definitely a passionate singer. Bon Iver‘s debut album For Emma, Forever Ago was independently released in 2007. Originally from Wisconsin, this Indie band some really good, chill music.

The Weepies are currently one of my favorite artists. A married couple originally from Cambridge, Massachusetts, Deb Talan and Steve Tannen make indie pop-folk music that is perfect to just chill to. The more well-known song, “World Spins Madly On” is from their album Say I Am You, and made #1 on US folk song [...]

Folks, we are on the cusp of the long-awaited return of Coffee Bean Brown. For the first time since Ben Chambers left the band, Tea Leaf Green‘s famed acoustic alter-ego will be “opening” for the band both nights of their upcoming two night run this Wednesday and Thursday at the 8×10 Club in Baltimore. Yes, [...]

What a night of great music from quality musicians! Gomez and Josh Ritter took the Ram’s Head Live (an amazing Baltimore venue, go if you haven’t been, but more on that later) stage with amazing energy in front of a packed house.

Backed by The Mystic Valley Band, Conor Oberst brings us this new song off his upcoming album Outer South. Listen at conoroberst.com
