Horse Feathers, Live Session #74

July 14, 2010

Over the years, I’ve grown to love this band called Horse Feathers.‚  This marked their second visit to Shirk Music + Sound for a HearYa Live session (find the first session here) and we greeted them on the heels of the release of Thistled Spring, the band’s third LP. The band is led by songwriter/guitarist/vocalist [...]

Jill Andrews, Live Session #73

June 17, 2010

When The Everybodyfields shared a pedal steel laced full-band arrangement of‚  “The Only King” during their HearYa Live Session nearly two years ago, they made big fans out of us.‚  More impressive than the band and the new song arrangements, was the power, control, and purity that I heard in Jill Andrew’s voice on that [...]

June 2, 2010

At SxSW, I had the pleasure of catching one of Brooklyn’s up and coming bands at my favorite Austin venue, Homeslice Pizza. Since discovering Dinosaur Feathers earlier this year, the trio has been getting love from Paste, The New York Times and many a blogger. When I started listening to them, a friend of mine [...]

Dawn Landes, Live Session #66

February 25, 2010

Dawn Landes was requested by a HearYa reader named Tom when we posted a track that featured her with Justin Townes Earle. A few email exchanges later and the session was booked. Customer service.

January 26, 2010

A.A. Bondy first visited us for a live session in December of 2008 while on a solo tour in support of his debut, American Hearts. While the solo acoustic Bondy is quite alright with me, I was excited to hear that his sophomore effort, When The Devil’s Loose, would employ the help of a band. [...]

Elliott Brood, Live Session #61

December 8, 2009

I have Hurricane Rick to thank for meeting Elliott Brood in studio. For the first time in a couple of years, the Mrs. and I found a cast of thousands (babysitters, ex-nanny, mother-in-law, etc. etc.) to cover for us for a getaway to Cabo. The storm emerged and delayed us for one day, which was [...]

Port O’Brien, Live Session #60

November 17, 2009

There are certain bands that I associate with HearYa more than others. Bands like Ha Ha Tonka, Other Lives and Joe Pug are a few that blend great musicianship with amiable personalities. Port O’Brien is another of those bands and over the course of three albums and countless shows, Port O’Brien has never ceased to [...]
