Local bluegrass/rock outfit Big Daddy Love releases an inspired sophomore album rich with banjos, electric guitars, Appalachian imagery and (of course) lots of love. The band holds a CD release party at Pisgah Brewing tomorrow night.
It’s the third solo album for the local musician, who also plays guitar with Band of Horses. He’ll hold a CD release show at The Grey Eagle on Oct. 6. Listen to an advance track here.
The local hip-hop artist talks about his forthcoming album, Monkeywrench on this podcast. He also talks about some of its inspirations, his personal evolution as a hip-hop artist, the stories behind meeting his collaborators and why being positive isn’t always about being happy.
In advance of the release of his album, Character Farm & Other Short Stories, local steel-pan player Jonathan Scales shows off a thoughtful and inspiring new video.
The blues-hip-hop artist takes a more serious folk-blues turn on this Avett Brothers-produced, Echo Mountain-recorded album, due out Feb. 22. Images by Noah Abrams.
