Permanent Tag: Music Rating: No Votes Hits: 146 Comments: 0 Tumbleweed Wanderers: So Long Blues Tumbleweed Wanderers: So Long Blues After performing a brand new track on the ride up - http://youtu.be/nNxYoWhqgv8 - the Tumbleweed Wanderers performed one of their classic acoustic jams "So Long Blues" on the way down. Having just played Snowball Music Festival, it was nice to pull back and see the band in an intimate and acoustic environment. On this tune, Blum brings forth some strong percussion on the washboard, while Mandel-Romann takes over on lead vocals. But this doesn't mean that no one else sings. One of the best things about this band is that everyone can sing, and sing good. When performing live, they constantly change who takes the lead on vocals, and in most songs the whole band harmonizes on vocals. The Bay Area band is putting out a new EP "Worn Down Welcome" on April 26, 2013, and they are set to perform at a variety of music festivals this summer - http://tumbleweedwanderers.com/dates/ - so be sure to watch out for the Tumbleweed Wanderers! Band Members: Daniel Blum (washboard) Jeremy Lyon (guitar, vocals) Partick Glynn (mandolin) Rob Fidel (banjo, vocals) Zak Mandel-Romann (guitar, vocals) Song: "So Long Blues" Follow Us!

Unmoderated Tag: Music Rating: Ok Hits: 100 Comments: 0 Gondola Sessions: Tumbleweed Wanderers Gondola Sessions: Tumbleweed Wanderers The Tumbleweed Wanderers - http://tumbleweedwanderers.com/ - joined us for a Gondola Session on their way from Snowball Music Festival to SXSW. It was a crowded and bumpy gondola ride for the 5-person group, but the band kept their composure and were able to lay down a couple tracks over the gondola's noise. The first song, "Pretty Song in E", was essentially titled on the spot, as it is brand new song that is premiering right here on The Gondola Sessions! However new, the song was performed as though it was a regular on Tumbleweed Wanderers' set lists. Sitting, standing and crouching, the band added layers to the song as it progressed, creating a dynamic and harmonized tune by the end. With their new EP "Worn Down Welcome" due out April 26, 2013, this is definitely a band to keep your eye on. Oh, and the second song from their Gondola Session will be out shortly...

Permanent Tag: Music Rating: Good Hits: 208 Comments: 0 Churchill: Churchill: "Change": Sxsw 2013 Showcasing Artist Tim Bruns - lead vocals and rhythm guitar / Tyler Rima - bass / Bethany Kelly - vocals and keys / Joe Richmond - drums / Mike Morter - mandolin, banjo, lead guitar, uke and crowd pleasing Churchill singer/guitarist Tim Bruns and mandolin player Mike Morter have been making folk-infused rock songs with a delicate bluegrass flair together since the first day they met. In 2009, Bruns and Morter added bassist Tyler Rima, drummer Joe Richmond, and keyboardist/singer Bethany Kelly to their lineup, a move that vastly expanded their sound and birthed the high-energy alt-country/pop-rock hybrid that is Churchill. As with all of Churchill's releases so far, Change EP is entirely self-produced and self-recorded by the band to truly capture the raw, frenetic energy of their live show. Their upcoming debut for A&M;/Octone, offers up a selection of songs that flaunt their supreme skills in blending hook-laced pop with soulfully charged, lushly textured rock. From the freewheeling country swing of "Ark in a Flood" (a sprawling anthem marked by soaring, sunny harmonies) to the Motown strut of "Change" (a gorgeously pained love song on which Kelly's tough but tender vocals take the lead), Change EP enlists Churchill as an outfit that's both classic in sensibility and undeniably fresh in sound. Always honored to be on stage, Churchill\'s live experience is a major part of how they effectively leave their audience feeling hopeful and ready to change the world. Feb 13, 2013 11:16 PM
