Will Hoge – “Little Bit of Rust” Will is one of my favorite songwriter friends. Humming House – “Make It Through” Humming House are tour mates and good friends who put out a new album that’s big departure from their folky porch vibes. Melodic acoustic indie rock a la The Head and the Heart. Steve Moakler – “Hearts Don’t Break That Way” Steve just came off his unique backyards and campgrounds tour, and he is one of the most honest and hardworking singer/songwriters I have ever met.īirdtalker – “Heavy” A fan recommended this band to me over Twitter. BANZAI File:s36 01.ogg A Bz song known more for its live performances than its studio presence, 'BANZAI' is performed with the same power and enthusiasm of other uptempo anthems by the band like 'ultra soul'. The legendary Brandi Carlile produced this record. All music and guitar by Tak Matsumoto.All lyrics and lead vocals by Koshi Inaba. The Secret Sisters – “You Don’t Own Me Anymore” Indie darlings who have toured with Willie Nelson, Jason Isbell and others.
Hovvdy – “Pretend” Met these guys through some mutual friends. His new one is more electronic, moody like Bon Iver and James Blake. This is their new single.Īndrew Belle – “Down” Chicago singer/songwriter who has made 3 fantastic records. Proud of these guys and all they have accomplished in the last few years. Judah and the Lion – “Suit and Jacket” Our dear friends and newly minted big stars. Wilder – “Same Way” Big emotional arena rock n roll. This is a song showing her more playful and soulful side.

I hope you will enjoy these tunes as much as I have.
