Prepare yourself for a barrage of apple picking Instagrams, decorative gourds, and pumpkin spice (I drink my coffee black, just to be clear).

This past Friday, Los Angeles based alternative-pop singer/songwriter Henry Hall released “Such a Bummer,” his newest single produced by Jack Grabow aka Sled Ellis.

About a year-and-a-half ago, former schoolmates and friends Raph Odell Shapiro, Jenner Snow Fox, and Hans Theodore Bilger relocated to Austin, Texas to continue their work as members of the folk Americana trio Odell Fox. Since then, they’ve spent countless weeks away from home, performing shows and building up a steady fan base across the country. We have one extended stop in particular, Nashville, Tennessee, (and the work of producer Kai Welch) to thank for today’s release of Odell Fox’s first album, Thank You. Continue reading
Start the day right by listening to something sweet! While this collaboration between solo artists Parker Millsap and Sarah Jarosz was released in March and is not exactly the buzz of the day, I’ve been listening to these remarkable young musicians nonstop lately and wanted to share their music with you.
