Music Mondays

Open Seas.

I love them independantly Ari Hest and Rosi Golan but together they are a combination of a unique sound rich with harmonies and heartfelt lyrics. One of my many favorites: Keep me tonight.

Starlight and All in a Day are not to be missed either.

I am also recently loving Sierra Noble. She is a Metis fiddler that is starting go more mainstream in her sounds but I love her old and new sounds, I think because I have always wanted to be able to play myself!

In light of the recent Vancouver Folk Festival I have been brushing up on all the music that was featured this weekend. One Dan Mangan in particular.  I had heard a lot of this Vancouverite's music on CBC Radio  and even run into him whilst in a Kerrsidale flower shop but this week I made the plunge to buy his newest album Nice, Nice, Very Nice (2009) and I love it! My songs for recommendation  Road Regrets and The Indie Queens Are Waiting.  

Music Monday.

Last week these guys rock my world live at the Biltmore.

Next week it is off to Seattle to see this guy and his amazing piano skills.

Later this summer it will be off to see these guys rock the Malkin Bowl.

music.

This week I have been loving The Zolas.

A progressive piano rock band from Vancouver that has been making waves across BC and Canada.

"Zach Gray and Tom Dobrzanski are a true anomaly: a duo that incorporates guitar, drums, piano, trumpet and vocals despite only having four arms between them. But the demand pays off on their debut album Tic Toc Tic"

My favorite song currently 'You're too cool'

Also check out this incredible acoustic session.

listening.

In Your Hands by Charlie Winston.

Thursday's Tunes.

My song pick of the week is Horchata by Vampire Weekend.
In one word their music is fun.

"...four guys who listened to some Afro-pop records, picked up a few nice ideas, and then set about making one of the most refreshing and replayable indie records in recent years."

Check them out and you will not be dissapointed!

new music.

My favorite band of the week is Future of Forestry.

The Future of Forestry is a poem by C. S. Lewis that this San Diego quartet cribbed its name from. "These innovators push the boundaries of comfort and creativity to craft tracks of liberating sonic exploration" 

One of my favorite lines from TRAVELER’S SONG:

“…if you travel here, listen to your heart. And take with you what lasts forever.”

My favorite songs: HILLS OF INDIGO BLUE & SLOW YOUR BREATH DOWN

Great Lake Swimmers.

After listening to an old CBC broadcast of the Vynal Cafe that featured these guys, This song has been on repeat all week. They will be hitting up the Vogue Theatre here in Vancouver tomorrow night with Special Guest Jon-Rae Fletcher
