I was really excited to get a new Carrie Newcomer CD in the mail a few weeks ago. About two years ago, I had the chance to interview Carrie and also got a chance to see her perform in a small venue in Philadelphia. The show was really great and definitely got me hooked on [...]

Very cool project. For more information, check out Playing for Change. [HT Karen Walker, aka mother-in-law]

I’ve just spent the past day listening to a new CD by Nashville based folk singer, Caroline Brewer. Caroline is a good friend of Sarah’s from her days at Ghost Ranch in New Mexico. I’ve heard Sarah mention Caroline before, and then I heard that she had a CD coming out. While I totally trusted [...]

Over four years ago, I wrote a post called “Liberal songwriting.” I had just spent a week at family camp with a progressive mainline PC(USA) church and noticed that the types of “camp songs” that they liked really did not square up with their theology – and I wondered aloud about where all of the [...]

Though apparently my mom has one of her CDs at home, I just recently have become familiar with the music of Quaker singer/songwriter Carrie Newcomer.

Today’s song comes from artist Kendall Payne. I first heard of her a few years ago from April, and instantly starting getting into her style.

Today you get a really great song – it’s by artist A Fine Frenzy. Her music is described as “hypnotic piano arrangements under classic American melody fused into irresistible, atmospheric songs with the power to reach around the world.” That’s a pretty bold statement about the music, but it’s really great stuff. I love her [...]

Today we feature Austin-based VAST. This is another one of the harder bands, described as “industrial, alternative, progressive rock.” This song is called “I’m Dying” and is on their debut album, “Visual Audio Sensory Theater.” It’s good workout music, or music to blast when you’re mad or driving around with the windows down.
