Cow Bop: Route 66

http://www.cowbop.com

Well, this turned out unexpectedly. With a name like Cow Bop and a band logo of a tight-jeaned cowgirl riding her guitar into the desert, I was expecting some boisterous western swing - possibly a little bawdy as western swing often was, but certainly acquainted with the rougher edges of life.

In fact, Cow Bop's music turns out to be as smooth as… Continue

Ben Prestage: Real Music

www.myspace.com/bprestage

Sporting a brakeman's hat and a full-on Seasick Steve beard, here comes young Ben Prestage from Florida as the latest entrant in the game of rediscovering acoustic blues. Doing a virtuoso one-man-band thing - thumping his foot drums, picking a bass rhythm and firing out some fairly extraordinary guitar lines, all the while singing like a man… Continue

Charlie Roth: Broken Ground

http://www.charlierothmusic.com/

Charlie hails from Minnesota where he grew up listening to the radio and falling in love with all the magic sounds of the sixties. He's been learning songs since before he was old enough to sing them in a bar and has made a living from singing other folk's songs - and a few of his own - all his life. He claims to have over 1000 songs in… Continue
