River Whyless - Stone

              

Out of the mountain town of Asheville, NC.  River Whyless has that warm, folk sound that makes you feel at home.  Don't feel too safe however, because these young band mates love to have a good time experimenting with wild sounds.  Have a listen to Stone, one of their fun tracks on their newest album, A Stone, A Leaf, An unfound door

Phoenix - Drakkar Noir

 

Phoenix just released their newest album, Bankrupt! 3 days ago.  Give a listen to this fun little tune.

Alison Krauss & Union Station - The Road is a Lover

Guaranteed to get your foot tappin' Alison Krauss and her band Union Station have been making amazing bluegrass/folk music since 1987.  Amazing musicians to see live and to listen to hear on cHill beats!

Liz Lawrence - Bedroom Hero

Thanks to my girl Jackie Fresh for showing me this artist right here.

Wallis Bird - I'm So Tired of that Line

Found this wonderful live track while listening to balcony tv recordings.  Great acoustic performance, give my girl some love.  Check out her site here.

Mumford And Sons/Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros/O.C.M.S - This Train Is Bound For Glory

Trying to have a hootin' hollerin' good time?  Check out this live version of "This Train is Bound for Glory" by some of the best folk musicians of our day.  I'm always a fan of artists that can bring back that old sound and give honor to the greats that paved the way before them.

ZZ Ward - Put the Gun Down & Crying Wolf ft. Kendrick Lamar

ZZ Ward, a young new artist on the scene brings a "punch you in the face" kind of sound to listeners.  With her blues style, modern grooves and help from artists like Kendrick Lamar, ZZ Ward is hard to forget.  Thanks to Katherine H. for the recommendation.     

The Gospel Whiskey Runners - Hold On

Shoutout to my dear friend Caroline H. for sharing this song with me. Gotta dig both the male and female vocals.

Tegan and Sara - Love They Say

From their new album, Heartthrob, Tegan and Sara are back with a brand new sound.  With a pop 80s style, the mesmerizing twins are stealing hearts with this album.  As Tegan described in a recent concert, this track is her first cheesy love song she's written.  I personally love it, getting caught in my head daily.  Check out Tegan and Sara!

Ellie Goulding - Lights Acoustic

Beautiful acoustic version of Ellie Goulding's chart topper, Lights.  Enjoy the piano rendition.
