Sarah Jarosz "Tell Me True"

Sarah+Jarosz I love this. Sarah Jarosz is booked to play The Lizard Lounge Wednesday (November 18th) in Cambridge, MA. There just isn't a better name than Lizard Lounge!

Sarah joined Music Fog on the bus in Nashville during the Americana Conference. She is a prodigal guitarist, mandolin and banjo picker. And she has some pretty powerful friends behind her...Grisman and Skaggs are just a couple to be named. Garrison Keillor is also a big supporter of hers, and has featured her talents on his own Prairie Home Companion.

This is an artist to watch. Signed to Sugar Hill Records in the summer of 2008, her voice has been compared to that of Patty Griffin and she is produced by the legendary Gary Paczosa, who is no slouch himself.

I am not going to say "You go Gir..." But you have to say something just because of her accomplishments in a very short period of time.

Steve "I Should Have Danced With You at That Party in Harlem"

YouTube We have made all sorts of friends on the net in this past year. So we thought that it would be great to share a video with all you Foggies. This one came to our attention through "BigLoveZone" on YouTube. The creative behind it comes from Steve Gwynne. He says he's a guy who likes to "screw around with video and create animations based on found sources."

Lately he's been performing his own music because he doesn't want YouTube to pull his videos for copyright infringement. He claims to not have great pipes, but we think they sound just fine. The Song  "I Should Have Danced With You at That Party in Harlem" is written by a friend, Rae Spoon who is out of Calgary and Steve collaborates with his good friend Owlphanumeric, who we are told is "remarkable."

This is a glimpse into a world of creative and music we know absolutely nothing about.

The Wiyos "Dontchaletmecatchya"

The wiyos In my most recent sweep of the web, I have turned up that Brooklyn based The Wiyos, purveyors of Vaudevillian Ragtime Blues, Hillbilly Swing and Old Time Country - AKA Americana, are feeling the love from some New York City radio stations, namely WNYC and WNEW! We are wondering what they have been doing since touring the ballparks this summer with Willie, Mellencamp and Dylan. I'll bet they are collecting songs and losing more punctuation. Here's an unintelligible title now.
