#MusicMonday – Hurricane Hoss (Video)
"Hurricane Hoss has blown through the juke joints and watering holes of America, the perfect example of a classical good girl gone outlaw. She’s shot whiskey in the Midwestern Wilds, danced to zydeco in Louisiana, fallen in love in the Rockies, and two-stepped on top of broken hearts in Nashville. With fiddle, banjo, and guitar in tow, Hoss sings the stories of her … [Read more...]
#MusicMonday – John Patrick Halling (Video)
"'Boy In The Water' the latest album from John Patrick Halling is an interesting Americana folk-rock sound that evokes the more countryside of Ryan Adams and some of the early albums from M. Ward. There are six songs where Halling is backed by a band and the final song which showcases him alone and where he really shines." … [Read more...]
#MusicMonday – The Family Dog (Video)

#MusicMonday – Cuyuga (Video)
"Since its beginning in 1998, Cuyuga has been fortunate enough to share the stage (playing their unique brand of Jam-Folk) with the likes of Fairport Convention, Leftover Salmon, David Nelson, The Big Wu, DSO and Vince Welnick of The Grateful Dead, while releasing two CD’s along the way: 'The Euc' in 1998 as well as 'Orange Stone Groove' in 2001. In 2013 Cuyuga … [Read more...]
#MusicMonday – The RailShakers (Video)
"Country with a classically-trained violinist. Folk with a Bonham-inspired drummer. Rockabilly with a tattoo-deficient guitarist/singer. Rock with a bassist that yearns to play 'Pig In a Pen.' RailShakers are proof that these paradoxes do indeed exist. Three-part harmonies, harmonica, well-crafted percussion and clever arrangements make the original music of … [Read more...]
#MusicMonday – Vicki Chew (Video)
"When I think about my parents and my childhood, what stands out is music – music and dancing and plenty of it. Jazz, big band, dixieland and the great American songbook. I grew up listening to the best music and the best players and vocalists- Ella, Sarah, Frank and Louis, putting their signatures on the great songs. Meanwhile upstairs a different kind of music … [Read more...]
#MusicMonday – Thor Platter (Video)
Cleveland, Ohio, might not be an Americana mecca in the way cities such as Nashville and Austin are. But for singer-songwriter Thor Platter, being a working folk-roots musician in the gritty Rust Belt town affords him the kind of creative freedom few artists enjoy. His 2013 solo LP, "Looking For Sunshine," uses brisk acoustic guitar as a mere starting point: Gospel-tinged … [Read more...]
#MusicMonday – Red Brick Rhoades (Video)
"Singer-songwriter, Red Chrosniak, learned guitar to make his habit of doodling lyrics on old envelope backs both productive and sustainable. Far from her native prairie, Becca Rhoades lends her improvisational fiddling skills and a little of her Texas drawl to the songs he writes. Red and Becca started playing together upon discovering their shared love of heart-free … [Read more...]
