Here's a clip from Austin City Limits on John Fullbright. He'll be somewhere on the east coast this week. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkV_Nr5R-xw

The Milk Carton Kids | Michigan | The Warm Up: Ardent Studios

Every great once in a while a duo comes along that were meant to be.  Such is the case with The Milk Carton Kids with Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan.  When they reached a fork in the road in terms of their respective solo careers… They made the decision to pool their talents and have never looked back.  The formula that works so well is the blending of rich vocal harmonies held together by Joey’s clean fingerstyle and Kenneth’s incredible flat picking.  To compare them to other famous duos such as Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, and even Phil and Don Everly is not an over statement.  If anything, that is what some listeners quibble about… they possibly sound too much like their obvious influences.  But their sound is no imitation as their ever-escalating success has shown.  They are opening for major acts like the Lumineers and Punch Brothers.  Thy have 3 songs in the soundtrack to Promised Land.  T Bone Burnett and the Coen Brothers have included them in the new concert film Another Day/Another Time which celebrates the music of Inside Llewyn Davis.

John Moreland......not to be missed. A youngish Oklahoma talent who is quietly stunning in his lyrics, his solid performance and vocal sureness.  And Parker Millsap. A friend of mine. Preparing to tour witih Old Crow Medicine Show, Patti Griffin and Emmy Lou Harris this summer.

I am not sure when or if Rosie Thomas will be touring again. I saw her at a house concert here in Seattle about two years ago. Before she went on tour with Iron and Wine. Her singing voice is amazing. She also made my very favorite Christmas Album called A Very Rosie Christmas where she sings River by Joni Mitchell and an outstanding version of Silent Night AND a cover of the Chipmunks Christmas Don't Be Late that is super sad! I love it! Anyway...this is one of her songs from her last album With Love. She is a sweetie and she just had a baby and I hope she keeps on singing!

I saw that someone had mentioned seeing Liz Longley. I saw her at a house concert last year. She is amazing! I love this song and I love how this video is filmed outside probably near Harvard in Massachusetts. She has a dreamy voice and puts so much thought into her lyrics. She has another really good one about Alzheimer's and her grandmother.  That one is called Unraveling.
