Wang Dang Doodle is the famous old… Continue

Arty and the boys work out of the Baltimore Maryland Honky-tonks and are as good a reason as I can imagine for adding a night out In Baltimore to the things to do before I die list. Thankfully the rest of the world seem to be catching on to his smooth, actuate and soulful take on the Honky-Tonk idiom. The Long Gone Daddys are beginning to set the woods on fire out with their own back yard, and maybe… Continue

KATE MacLEOD —BLOOMING - Waterbug (media)

www.katemacleod.com

Americana singer-songwriter Kate MacLeod makes interesting music, a finely spun mix of folk and country music tinged with hints of pop, and when she kicks off her shoes to rattle along at a quicker tempo she is of another class. That isn’t to say her more studious, inner looking songs aren’t good. They are. But it is on the songs possessing a greater feel of freedom and free abandon that Kate instantly appeals.… Continue
