The Albion Band - "There are a number of ghosts who inhabit the songs on this album.

Wolf Hall S/T - "The soundtrack to BBC/PBS television series “Wolf Hall” brings King Henry VIII’s court to life with dances and songs from the early 16thC – some of which were composed by the monarch himself. Filmed in the great historic houses in England, the series features specialist period musicians playing live on set. All the Tudor Music for the production has been carefully sourced and arranged by Claire van Kampen, and recorded with the Musicians of Shakespeare’s Globe at the famous Abbey Road Studios, London, England." - VIA website

If you love the series you will already love the music!

 

Trad Attack! - "Trad.Attack! is the winner of ESTONIAN MUSIC AWARDS 2014 - Ethno/Folk album of the year, Music Video of the year - and ESTONIAN ETHNO MUSIC AWARDS 2014 - Best Band, Best Album, Best Song, Best Newcomer and Radio 2 special award! Trad.Attack! takes inspiration from old archive recordings and from the music of today. Folk music is their starting point but not their boundary: they remain open in ears, mind and soul to different styles and new directions whilst maintaining their emotional roots-heart. Sandra, Jalmar and Tõnu have long been good friends, and have been active on the Estonian music scene for more than fifteen years. Surrounded by traditional music all her life, Sandra first picked up the Estonian bagpipe when she was thirteen. Jalmar is of the Seto people. Setomaa, a small community in the south of Estonia, has its own a king and distinctive culture, and is particularly well known for its traditional singing. His great-great grandmother, Anne Vabarna, was one of the most famous folk singers in Estonia, so he has grown up in this tradition. Tõnu’s father is the conductor of a brass orchestra, so he was playing brass before he could walk. He took up classical trombone and drums, and is now one of the most in-demand drummers in Estonia." - Artists' website

 

Swinging The Lead - "The guys are inspired by over 300 years of listening and playing between them and they bounce musical ideas off each other with gusto and panache. Joyful exuberance and exhilaration push all of them to new musical heights as they take the audience along with them on the trip. The antidote to boy bands."

"Purveyors of Shanties and Songs of the Sea “Stop swinging the lead and get on with it” cried the mate. The best we could do was to break into song, and so Swinging the Lead was launched." - Artists' website

 

Trout Steak Revival - hot off the griddle 5 piece bluegrass band...Winners of the 41st Telluride Bluegrass Band Competition...

 

Amy Speace - “Amy Speace channels the classics,” writes Billboard Magazine of  her latest release “That Kind Of Girl”. Jon Pareles of The New York Times described the record as “grace over drama” and No Depression wrote “The next time someone tells you they don’t make good music anymore, tell them they must not have heard of Amy Speace. She is a timeless singer/songwriter who has captured this writer’s attention with a record which should be a topic of debate on several year-end award lists.“  Recorded in East Nashville with producer Neilson Hubbard and a small ensemble of musicians, the record is spare and direct, honest and focused.  Holly George-Warren, celebrated author and music critic, calls it “breathtaking.” And just as critics were raving about her new album, she was hired by The New York Times' Financial Section to write an original song and an accompanying essay about the financial challenges of being an artist.  The song, "Spent" was featured on NPR's "Marketplace."  She has also written pieces for The Nashville Scene, Blue Rock Review, Performing Songwriter Magazine, among others." - Artist's website

 

Brishen - "Nominated for five 2014 Canadian Folk Music Awards: Instrumental Album of the Year, Ensemble of the Year, World Group of the Year, New Emerging Artist of the Year and Young Performer of the Year!

BRISHEN is fronted by one of Canada's most exceptional young musicians,  eighteen year old award winning multi-instrumentalist Quinn Bachand,  on lead guitar, violin and tenor banjo.   The stellar Brishen line-up also features Richard Moody,  a veteran of the Canadian folk music scene, on violin and viola, Reuben Wier on rhythm guitar and vocals and Joey Smith on upright bass. Quinn Bachand's BRISHEN, with its virtuosity and soul,  is much more than a Django-esque cover band.  Brishen recreates the magic of Django Reinhardt, Stephane Grappelli and the Hot Club de France for an unforgettable musical experience, and in the process brings gypsy jazz into the 21st century and to a whole new generation of discerning music lovers." Artists' website

 

In the last several months I have seen Quinn perfrom live with BRISHEN and the Jeremy Kittel Trio, and featured his traditional duo side, with his sister Qristina, in last week's program... in all formats he is simply spell-binding!

 

Natasha Borsilova - "From her early days as a classically trained child guitar prodigy, Natasha Borzilova has consistently created music that says something, and in a fresh way. That hasn’t changed with Wilder Days, her self-produced fourth solo release  and her most personal collection yet. Since the 2006 disbanding of Bering Strait the group of genre-defying Russian wunderkinds that brought her from Russia to America, spawning critical acclaim, a Grammy nomination, a 60 Minutes profile and a documentary film ? Borzilova has remained busy: as writer, recording artist, yoga instructor and, most importantly, mother." - Artist's website
