Emily White w/ Casey Bazzell [Early Show]

admin — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 03:00:46 +0000

Emily White’s sophomore release “12 Ways to Live,” delves into new territory for the Chicago singer/songwriter. She’s still playing her signature guitar lines and singing the disarmingly honest lyrics that have made her popular with fans throughout the country, but the choices in production showcase the songs in an entirely different light than her 2005 EP release “Every Pulse.” Accompanied by two players who form the band White tours with in the Midwest (Jennifer “JJ” Jones on drums and Scott Lamps on baritone guitar), “12 Ways to Live” presents her newer songs in a sparse indie setting. Vibraphone and keyboards add depth to the mixture of personal-political subject matter that has become White’s trademark

Everett Thomas CD Release Show (Early Show)

admin — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 03:00:56 +0000

With the lines of the artistry and industry being blurred together more everyday, singer/songwriters seem to get categorized as either full-fledged commercial superstars or pensive underground poets. St. Louis-bred/Wisconsin-based troubadour Everett Thomas certainly falls into that latter category, though he’s quickly ascending beyond a niche in-the-know to become one of the Midwest’s most authentic and accomplished tunesmiths who’s already opened for the lauded likes of Nickel Creek’s Sean and Sara Watkins, G. Love & Special Sauce, Over the Rhine, Lifehouse, The Wood Brothers and Matt Nathanson.
