Jessica Sonner – Fool
I can’t quite remember how I found Jessica Sonner, but I’m glad I did. She’s all too unknown, but shouldn’t be. Give her a try:

Tristan Prettyman is a Cali girl – kinda pop, kinda folky, kinda happy, kinda quirky, definitely enjoyable. Here’s a new single, Madly Madly Madly:

Marc Cohn – Walking in Memphis
I went to Jimmy’s Brother, a Karaoke Southern style bar last night. We drank beer, hung out with our new friends, and enjoyed some ridiculous karaoke. Which was great, and then it was our turn (there were 4 of us) to sing. We wanted to do Walking in Memphis. I’ve done it karaoke before. In [...]

Mindy Smith – One Moment More
She’s got an angelic voice, like a Sarah McLaughlin, Patty Griffin, Rachael Davis, Nanci Griffith. She was born with an easy gift. Her songs are calm like the ocean and full of depth and emotion that literally grip you to tears. Give her a listen: One Moment More.

Astrology Reading
I couldn’t not post this. It’s my astrology reading for today. Go music!
You’ve got your own soundtrack today, even if you forget your iPod. Your good energy keeps a beat and melody humming in your brain throughout the day, making every interaction a little sweeter.

Since I mention her in the Shawn Mullins post and below that in another, here is a Lori McKenna example with one of her newer songs, How Romantic is That?

Sons of William
I heard these boys (and girl) last night with Griffin House. They were an impressive surprise. Here’s their song, Darkest Secret.

Griffin House
I saw Griffin House at the Living Room in NYC last night. The Sons of William opened for him, then backed him up. Both GH and SOW put on greats sets. GH is just as humble and sweet on stage as I would have guessed. He seems absolutely normal and even shy. Anyway, he played [...]

VACO – Not Scared
If I had the blogging-attention-span, I’d post VACO’s (Virginia Coalition) entire new album up on here…because it is just that good. This band has clogged my ears with goodness, from songs like Mason Dixon to Hurricane, to many others. Anyway, their newest CD, called Home This Year, is just off the hook. One [...]

Eric Hutchinson – Breakdown More
This is actually my aunt’s god son, Eric Hutchinson. I’m not sure what that makes me, relation-wise, but I do think he’s quite a talent, and it’s even cooler to know he’s only about a degree away. This is a purdddy one:)
