Delicate Steve and Dana Buoy are at Vera Project, the Taj Mahal Trio starts the first of [...]
Shenandoah Davis - Proof from Shenandoah Davis on Vimeo. Here's our chance to call attention to Shenandoah Davis again. For those who haven't had the pleasure yet, her music falls in the same quirky and adorable vein as Joanna Newsom, but with more song structure and quite a bit more awareness of you, the listener. [...]
It was a busy week for local videos with Macklemore, Posse and Shenandoah Davis releasing brand new ones.

Remember when we said we’d share our list of 25 other unmissable records the first week of January? Whoops. Thing is, the first month of this new year, we were still listening to and falling in (and out) of love with records from 2011. Discovering albums we should’ve shared months ago and finding out what [...]
2011 wasn't just a great year for local full-lengths, awesome releases abounded in all formats: EPs, 72's and yes, even cassettes. In fact, Phil's favorite local release of all of 2011 was Mercy Ties and Grenades split 12". Here are 15 of our favorite local EPs, 72's and cassettes of the past year and our [...]
Kelli Schaefer ::: photo by Dylan Priest Having fallen deep down a used-vinyl sized hole this year, I managed to completely miss most of the national blog buzz bands and mp3s making the press release copy&paste rounds of 2011, those things that so often fill end of the year lists. But considering the immense output from [...]
We currently have 275 unread emails in our site inbox, and that doesn't even include the ones we've marked as "Good Stuff" or "Matt Would Make Out With This". Woefully, all of the writers at TWJ have day/night jobs that require time to grade and recover from, so we are eagerly anticipating the day [...]
Words by Jim Oh man, you gotta love it when a band has the genre label "avant garde" next to their name. You can best bet that what you're about to listen to is either going to be absolutely awful or strikingly beautiful and interesting. Too often it's the formal and not the latter, but once and a while we got lucky right? One time I went out on a limb and listened to the absurdly avant garde Antony and The Johnsons , hesitating ever so slightly as I pushed play, preparing myself [...]
Zoe Boekbinder talks her favorite venues, songwriting process, and her favorite venue, the New Folsom Prison.
With 13 weeks on the road ahead of them, we can't wait to see what postcards Shenandoah Davis and her band send us ... especially considering how adorable number one was. You can click on the images to make them larger for easy reading. Omaha Readers, I'm sure there are a few of you, don't [...]

This, is Mont Saint Michel. Which, thanks to Rick Steves, the Fabio of travel, is one of most incredible things I’ve seen all month. If you’re intuitive, this gives away a simple and very embarrassing fact: that given all the possible things I could be doing in life, much less the television shows I could [...]

Seattle-based songwriter Shenandoah Davis made her debut in 2008 with the full-length album We; Camera . Since then, she's toured in the US, Japan, and Western Europe, performed at major music and arts festivals including SXSW, collaborated with Seattle Rock Orchestra and Portland Cello Project, toured with fellow Seattle-ites Grand Hallway , and was a resident musician at the Art Monastery in Umbria, Italy (Whew, just re-reading that list makes me tired). Most recently, though, Davis has released a new album, fan-funded through Kickstarter , entitled The Company We Keep . [...]
It's been a good while since I heard a piano song as satisfying as Shenandoah Davis's "Proof". It sounds like fat raindrops hitting the scalding hot pavement, a happy kind of rain. Her voice is like a tightrope walker wobbling on the wire just to make the audience gasp. Not that your Grandma would necessarily listen to this, there's an old timey feel to it, like you should be sitting in a rocking chair listening to the cracks and pops of the vinyl coming from a phonograph. I was excited it was one of the songs chosen for the [...]
