Mikaela Davis – Dreaming

When most people think of the harp in the modern era, they think of weddings, hotel lobbies, the mall, or, of course, angels. Mikaela Davis is setting out to change that perception. This blonde-haired lass from Rochester just released a video for her single "Dreaming" and it's absolutely fantastic. Despite having graduated from high school two years ago, she sings with a conscious melancholy that comes from coping with her father's transcontinental move when she was 12. She introduced herself to the internet with a majestic cover of Sufjan Steven's Casimir Pulaski Day and has been [...]

Introducing — Mikaela Davis: "Dreaming"

DREAMING -- Mikaela Davis
The wonderful video for this song by Mikaela Davis - a Rochester, NY native who has been playing the harp since she was a child - has a sort of handheld-cam Wes Anderson vibe, and it fits the mood of the song rather well. Davis is working on an album with a couple of friends [...]

[video] Walri // Pay No Mind

Pay No Mind - Walri @ Lovin Cup
Tweet vaso link In 2011 I caught local love rockers Walri at least a handful of times. I am fairly certain that for each and every one of those times, the lineup behind the core duo of Amos Rose and Chris Coon was a little different. Through their various incarnations however the band has been able to maintain its sound quite well and has been slowly adding new tunes to their repertoire. One of the new ones, "Pay No Mind," premiered at [...]

Casimir Pulaski Day (Sufjan Stevens Cover)
Tweet vaso link If you haven't heard Mikaela Davis before, then you're in for a real treat. This harpist from Rochester is currently honing her craft at SUNY Potsdam's Crane School of Music, an expansion to an impressive resume that includes starting the harp in 3rd grade and spending four years in the Rochester Philharmonic Youth Orchestra. To simply describe Davis's sound, her voice is stunning and her musical talents are humbling. She occasionally returns to her hometown to grace us with a show, [...]

The Year's Best Coverfolk, Part 2: The Singles (b-sides, deep cuts, YouTube one-offs, & more one-shot coverage)

The Year's Best Coverfolk, Part 2: The Singles (b-sides, deep cuts, YouTube one-offs, & more one-shot coverage) As we noted over the weekend in The Year's Best Coverfolk, Part 1: Tribute Albums and Cover Collections , it's been a good year for full-album coverage. Overall, though, despite the fact that, in terms of sheer mass, covers from tributes overwhelm singletons in my collection, what I've found this year is that a significant majority of the songs that lingered, and demanded overplay, came from a mixed bag of borderline genre albums and single shot coverfolk tracks, via the usual sources, from YouTube, Soundcloud, studio appearances, website and bandcamp singles, and more.
