PREVIEW: THE ACCIDENTALS – ALBUM RELEASE SHOW
Live Show Review: John Hiatt
Under normal circumstances, a quiet, motionless, crowd would spell trouble for an artist. However, when the artist is John Hiatt, the rules change a bit as fans tend to sit in reverence of one of Americana’s legendary songwriters. As one of the lucky few that managed to get tickets for night two of Hiatt’s stopover... Continue Reading →
Live Show Review: Lisa LeBlanc
Lisa LeBlanc, rockicana shredder and master of all things stringed, played her first headlining show in Nashville recently, appearing in the upstairs lounge of the City Winery. There were four players, a drum kit, microphones decorated with strings of lights in the shapes of lobsters, flamingos, and lemony yellow circles, and a music store’s worth... Continue Reading →
Interview: Lisa LeBlanc
At a Lisa LeBlanc show, you won’t see four white dudes in cowboy hats gathered around a lone microphone plying the crowd with high lonesome wails.

Made up of Maria Quiles, Rory Cloud, and Oscar Westesson, the three hail from the temperate climes of... Continue Reading →
Interview: Sarah Siskind
Sarah Siskind is on her way to Nashville from her home in the mountains of North Carolina; the phone reception is iffy through the Smokies, and the line goes silent. “Can you hear me now?” she asks. “Okay, I’ll just keep leaning this way while I talk,” she laughs, and right away, I’m struck—though we...

Interview: Rose Cousins
“If my guts had a landscape, it would be Prince Edward Island,” Rose Cousins says with a laugh of her seaside Canadian upbringing. “The further I get away from how I grew up, like thinking it wasn’t that interesting, I see how special it was now that I’m older and have been traveling all over,”...

Interview: Kayley Hill
“One distinct memory I have is dancing around the living room to Brooks & Dunn when I was a kid, ‘Boot Scootin’ Boogie’ was my song,” laughs country roots artist Kayley Hill. Raised on a steady diet of The Dixie Chicks and Martina McBride, Hill developed a taste for country music and bluegrass acquired during... Continue Reading →
