Salt is the new album from Hoots & Hellmouth and will see a release in April. Taster single Why Would You Not Want To Go There? has a slow-burn intensity that builds in tandem with some expertly judged flourishes of piano and electric guitar. The band have drawn favourable comparisons with the Avett Brothers and Delta Spirit and you can add Dr. Dog and Blitzen Trapper to the list too as they expertly mine that rich seam of country and rock from vulnerable introspection to vibrant sing-alongs. [...]
Sasquatch!'s 2012 lineup is officially one day old and that means it's time for some post-reveal analysis. In the pages that follow, we run through the biggest highlights and surprises appearing on this year's bill, in addition to the most glaring omissions. We also highlight five names worth knowing as you prepare for Memorial Day weekend at the Gorge. Highlights Beck Stalk enough festival forums and you'll see Beck's name pop up every now and then. Shortly after these wishlist proposals there's typically a textual scoff and/or write off [...]

The Lonely Forest have created the type of record that you used to play over and over again and never got tired of. It's a lost art these days in a world of single downloads and rampant piracy. It sometimes makes you wonder why bands even record 10 songs anymore—that is, until you hear Arrows. These Washington state natives have made a tremendous album stylistically picking from three decades of musical references, the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s. "Discovered" by Death Cab For Cutie's Chris Walla and signed to his Atlantic Records [...]
Paleface is a presence woven so deeply into the fabric of the indie-folk/anti-folk/pop-folk/ whatever-you-want-to-call-it-f olk scene that it's difficult to find a related artist whom he's not associated with in some way. Taught to write songs by Daniel Johnston, managed by the godfather of American punk Danny Fields, and one-time roommates with Beck, he has been diligently building up an arsenal of songs since 1989. If he's not contributing to the next Avett Brothers' album or making friends with Regina Spektor, then he's probably hard at work on his next project. Since 1989, he's released over fifteen albums and has been an [...]

6am Repeat is a recurring feature here at Folk Hive in which we stream the latest track that plays incessantly in the earbuds when we awake at that hour and imbibe massive amounts of coffee and cigarettes in preparation for the advancing day. Consider it your jam of the day — a sweet, sweet gift from me to you. I love you, dude. If I cannot figure out how to get this song off repeat, we're going to have a [...]

The Carolina boys hit the road.

Portland was an unrelenting adventure of starting an intense graduate program (80 class hours in two weeks), trying to taste all the beers in the city (failed), and also seeing five tremendous shows at four different Portland venues. I slept little, laughed much, and met rad folks. As the dad of the host family I stayed with bemusedly told me, his eyes crinkled with a smile as I clung to the coffee pot one early morning: "Well, you sure are squeezing every last bit out of this city, aren't you?" But I've felt tense and dry since [...]

Why Miley Cyrus? Well, today marks the release of Chimes of Freedom , a 4-CD, 76-song set featuring various artists doing the songs of Bob Dylan. It's all to benefit Amnesty International, the human rights organization, on the occasion of its 50-year anniversary. The likes of My Morning Jacket, Tom Morello, Ziggy Marley, Flogging Molly, Joan Baez, Maroon 5, Queens of the Stone Age, Steve Earle and many more show up for this event, which makes one wonder why they chose Hannah Montana doing "You're Going To Make Me Lonesome When You Go" as the first video. [...]

In case you missed it, the lineup for this year's Wakarusa Music Festival was finalized late last week. Topping the bill is a solid eclectic mix with Pretty Lights, The Avett Brothers and Primus all set to headline the festival, with LMB favorites Umphrey's Mcgee, Girl Talk, Ghostland Observatory, Big Gigantic, EOTO, Orgone, Blitzen Trapper [...]

In the next few days, when I gather up too many $100 dollar bills, I will spend them all on a fucking ticket. A ticket, my friends, to a motherfucking festival. Pardon the language but I tell you what, my ass is jazzed. After a 2011 spent purchasing tickets (Cotton Jones, The Sheepdogs, Iron & Wine, and GAYNGS) and then realizing as dates approached that holy shit dude, I'm a single mom with a job, there's NO WAY I'm making that gig, I had to bail. All that money down the drain, all those good times enjoyed by [...]

Os irmãos Seth e Scott Avett e seu grupo folk The Avett Brothers já tiveram a honra de dividir um palco com um mestre de seu estilo musical, Bob Dylan , nos Grammys (como você pode ver na foto acima).
