5 Artists You Need To Be Listening To...

If you already aren’t listening to them.

1. Blue Merle
These two guys from Nashville are perfect music for the summer. They only have one album from 2005 but it is fabulous and timeless. I love “Bittersweet Memory” and “Boxcar Racer”. Great chill music.

2. Brett Dennen
If you listen to Joshua Radin or Amos Lee (others you should be listening to) you probably are fortunate enough to already know Brett Dennen. This fellow ginger has a way with his words. Listen to “Ain’t Gonna Lose You” and you will fall in love with him too.

3. John Butler Trio
If you are looking for some funky music then this is it. It is hard to sit still when listening to John Butler Trio. Download “Used to Get High" and “Better Than”.

4. Matt Hires
His album isn’t out for another week but his EP, Live From Hotel Café, is so wonderful that I have such a good feeling that that his album will be wonderful. It better be! Listen to “Honey, Let Me Sing You A Song”. I am a sucker for a guy with a guitar.

5. The Rocket Summer
I was recently introduced to The Rocket Summer. This kid can play ALL of his instruments himself. Impressive. It is a little more rock than I normally listen to. Still not that much rock considering I listen to a ton of acoustic music. Listen to “So Much Love”.


P.S. It is almost impossible for me not to mention a few more to listen to. So download some Citizen Cope, Minus the Bear, Sean Fournier, Ratatat, Will Hoge, and Kyle Riabko to make your collection of music even better! Enjoy.
