So... I'm an intern with the Philadelphia Songwriters Project.
It's an organization that gives singer/songwriters a chance for their music to be heard at various venues throughout the city.
Their first contest/show was yesterday afternoon at The Blockley.
Twelve finalists from all over the region sang for a panel of judges and the top four won the opportunity to tour to different venues the rest of the summer.
There was a lot of talent, but Ginger Coyle was by far the best performer.
Her soulful, playful style stood out amongst the many male, acoustic performers.
She rocked it.
Their outfits were great.
Their harmonies were great.
Their sound was great.
I am honestly psyched to be traveling around with artists like her this summer.
Woke up to the sound of pouring rain this morning. Thought of this album.
Fleet Foxes' new album, Helplessness Blues, is beautiful.
They are one of my select artists to listen to while running outside.
Maybe it's the whole "one with nature" ideal they seem to draw on.
Maybe it's because I'm strange.
The album came out a little over two weeks ago.
It's purpose is more complex compared to Sun Giant or Fleet Foxes.
The focus is on the lyrics, with respect to the instrumentation,
In honor of her show tonight at the TLA tonight in Philly, I will dedicate this post to Lykke Li.
She has recently become and will remain a favorite of mine.
Her Swedish sound is so unique, making her entertaining to listen to and watch.
She just released a new album, Wounded Rhymes, at the beginning of March.
And it is fabulous.
She's fabulous.
I'm royally pissed I will not be at that show tonight.
