The Brooklyn roots-rock group The Lone Bellow has caused a stir with its self-titled debut. Watch its members perform one of the album’s catchiest songs, “The One You Should’ve Let Go,” live at Rockwood Music Hall in New York City from WFUV — the same stage on which they recorded The Lone Bellow.
“Good songwriter. Good singer.”

Lord Huron » Ghost On The Shore
Die if I must let my bones turn to dust
I’m the lord of the lake and I don’t want to leave
“Lord Huron’s music is somehow able to combine the desert aesthetic of the American West, with the wide-open forever feeling of standing on the shores of Michigan’s Great Lakes.”
“Langhorne Slim. Where to begin. The epitome of extraordinary. The king of cool. A true entertainer.”
“Tift has an uncommonly infectious spirit and deep soul. When I play music with her she lifts me up and reminds me to be present. Tift also reminds us that folk music isn’t about acoustic guitars and fiddles (though those happen to be at arm’s reach). It’s about connecting with your fellow human. This is why I’m happy to introduce Tift Merritt to the 2013 Newport Folk Line-up.”
