Sheila's pick: Seth James "Leaves of September"

"Seth James came on the magical Music Fog bus and I was speechless. It was so elegantly simple: sitting on an amp, just him, his guitar, his voice just baring his soul. I just adore his latest record "That Kind of Man." I was ridiculously thrilled when I saw him on the list for the Americana Music Association Festival. I'll let the video speak for itself but I must say, what a dreamboat!"

Under the cover of darkness, Raul Malo made his way to the Music Fog bus in a Cadillac last seen on the Sopranos. If you haven't ever heard this guy play, you must listen to the video below immediately. If Raul's voice sounds familiar, you may remember him as the lead singer of The Mavericks.

Grab your smoking jacket, your pipe, and a bottle of moonshine and enjoy!

- The Fog -

This afternoon was electric at The Americana Music Association Festival & Conference. Cross Canadian Ragweed showed up with the full band - crammed themselves in our limited space and performed nothing but songs from the new album Happiness and All the Other Things. 

We also marveled at the level of compliments Jessie Scott received for the boots she was wearing.  It was like - they stole the show! They feature fish tails sewn into the leather with a green hue. For those of you interested in chasing this fashion highlight, Old Gringo is the brand name and they cost so much your dog will starve.  

Here's Ragweed...
