If you're a fan of small bars with a cozy, friendly atmosphere and live music then you might want to check out Dawson Street Pub . Of course, my opinion is based entirely on their live music selection. After all, that's all I care about. Ok, so I was at Dawson Street Pub Friday night to see Gifthorse . I haven't seen Scott Silipigni perform live in quite some time so I wanted to see/hear what he's been up to. Gifthorse has a roots rock (I might have heard a hint of county or [...]

![[review] Brown Shoe – The Gift Horse](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3815338_lg.jpg)
The heart is a dear, fragile thing. It, like any long running relationship, is just as complex as perhaps the genetic make-up of the human body. Couple that with complex emotions having to face itself in the mirror and what remains is an intricate web of confusion, heartache, anger, self abuse, and loneliness in the dark. For some it's a burden, for some its closure. Perhaps that's what The Gift Horse is. Folsom, California's Brown Shoe have made three previous albums to the just released The Gift Horse , an eyebrow raising title to say [...]
Brown Shoe - Diving Bell Brown Shoe - Colt Rider The pure landscape of Brown Shoe is huge. Its almost as if every song on the Gift Horse were to be sung atop a mountain. The vocals are expansive and soaring, the sounds are vastly textural, and huge. Everything, I mean everything, is just a bit larger on this album. If you are unfamiliar with the story, the band is made of four brothers from northern California, Aaron, Bryson, Ryan & Lanson Baggaley and their longtime friend Chandler Clemons. Their [...]

Brown Shoe are dropping their fourth LP The Gift Horse today and you should go pick it up. Brown Shoe is a quintet of handsome dudes who craft some wickedly catchy and melodic rock that I'm sure you'll love. The band loves to tour (having played over 100 dates in an eight month span) and they also aren't too pussy to dig ditches for a living if they have to. You can read what they have to say about themselves and The Gift Horse below, as well as grab their newest single "Diving Bell". (Sirens: [...]

In the end, all the weighty emotions and textures of The Gift Horse seem directed at getting laid more than anything else. Brown Shoe creates intricate, huge, pop songs, glacially moving things with arena-rock heft behind them. Guitars ring out to the rafters, Ryan Baggeley's voice pushing out powerfully. This stuff insists you hear it, its parts tightly woven but rarely subtle, instead crowding you up with layers. The Gift Horse tries for a cinematic size right from the start, on a 6-minute opener, and builds nicely enough to a grinding squall in the end. On the...

For their fifth studio album, Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers worked closely with producer Mark Weinberg to assemble an album that captured their personality and musical identity. You can listen to Gift Horse, out in its entirety in the player below. Read more »

Last week, TVD was pleased to join the Huffington Post, American Songwriter, and No Depression with an exclusive debut of two tracks from Stephen Kellogg and The Sixers' brand new Vanguard release, Gift Horse . Today Gift Horse makes its debut on the shelves of your local record store and we've got a copy of the vinyl LP to give away. Stephen Kellogg and The Sixers are a straight-up American rock 'n roll band. Hailing from Northampton, MA, members include Stephen Kellogg (vocals, guitar, keys), Kit [...]
Featuring some of Kellogg's strongest melodies and most introspective lyrics yet, this album stands as the best album yet from an artist who seems not to know the meaning of second best. Stephen Kellogg and his Sixers have long been among the hardest-working album rockers touring the small clubs across America. Kellogg has been making rootsy Americana-tinged rock since the mid-'90s, but he finally found his artistic zenith when he formed the Sixers in 2003. Through seven years and three albums, critics ranging far and wide from the band's Boston base have been placing the Sixers on the verge [...]

Take Band of Horses , sprinkle a little bit of Fleet Foxes , mash it all together in indie music goodness and you have yourself Brown Shoe . Hailing from Northern California, this up and coming five-piece, indie-rock band is set to self-release their highly anticipated, upcoming fourth LP, The Gift Horse , on October 18. Several months ago, we featured Brown Shoe's catchy "Colt Rider" on Week 11 of The Indie Sabbath . Today, we are proud to premiere Brown Shoe's newest single "Diving Bell" exclusively on EARMILK .

Stephen Kellogg & The Sixers - New England roots rockers have been plying their specific journeyman musical trade for a decade, building a loyal and ever-growing fan base while maturing both personally and artistically...Kellogg's proudly mainstream songs are, more often than not, addressing subjects like family, friends and the power of roots and region, a proud father whose worries about societal and political issues have a small town blue collar grounding // Release : Gift Horse (October 11, Vanguard) // Sounds like : Kellogg's music is a deft combination of arena-sized riff rock [...]

Genero: indie rock. Formados el 2004, con tres largos en sus espaldas Brown Shoe son una familia (en el sentido más estricto, ya que Aaron, Bryson, Ryan y Landonson son hermanos), aunque son cinco los componentes de la banda (hay que añadir a Chandler Clemons) y prevén para el 18 de octubre poner en circulación nuevo largo que se titulará The Gift Horse . Colt Rider , su single de adelanto, trota como titula el disco, la orquestación se construye en base a guitarras [...]
The second single on Brown Shoe's fourth disc The Gift Horse is "Late Nights". More subdued and love-stricken, it's been described by guitarist Aaron Baggaley as, "A song about being in an all-too-desperate situation in which you can't give enough stimulation, adulation or attention to appease your short term lover. It's like trying to get a grip on a hologram - the tighter you squeeze, the more you know it's not real." I don't love "Late Nights" as much as I did "Colt Rider" ( which we talked about here ), but I do like it quite a [...]

I'm not really into bands like Kings of Leon or Band of Horses, but for some reason, I'm warming up to the band Brown Shoe (who in an email press release referenced Band of Horses as an influence). The folk rock quintet [...]

Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers - Gift Horse Release Date: Oct 11, 2011 Label: Vanguard
Found this band on My Old Kentucky Blog and they are worth a listen. They go by the name of Brown Shoe and their lead single off their latest album is a pretty worthwhile listen. "Colt Rider" is a straight forward rocker, we'll call moderately mainstream, that you'd surely hear all over the radio if the radio played songs worth hearing. I mean, lyrically it would require some editing to hit said mainstream radio - but that's part of what it makes it stand out from the crowd. Brown Shoe is releasing their latest LP The [...]
