"Everything Red Molly sings is delivered with tick-tight arrangements, crystalline vocals, and caramel harmonies. But what is most striking is the ardor they bring to everything they do, whether snuggling into the sweet parochialism of an old spiritual, or the gritty pathos of a Gillian Welch tune. They come on less like stars strutting for their minions than pals sharing their favorite songs. In the friendly world of the coffeehouse, that remains a starmaking quality."

" Some people may have found her near-perfect 2006 album, “Over the Mountain, Across the Valley and Back to the Stars” (Matador), because of its guest stars—James McNew,
of Yo La Tengo, and Britt Daniel, of Spoon. O’Connor would be just fine without them." --- The New Yorker
Darren Jessee (of Ben Folds Five)
Small town waitresses, naked palm readers, walking home in the cold, pay phones and trains.
Hotel Lights, from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, plays melancholy and beautiful songs about small, human scenes-- spot lit moments enclosed and illuminated. Isn't it rare that a band seems
so aptly named?
Clint, Michigan with Amy Benzunartea
Shifting gears from the campy irony laden pop of The Isotoners, CLINT MICHIGAN finds the band’s namesake and lead singer Clint Asay in a more lyrical and reflective mood.

David Jacob-Strain
The 20-something visionary from Eugene, Oregon, combines a precocious understanding of the ancient roots of blues and an exhilarating ability to explore some of its previously unknown passageways.
He is a powerhouse finger-picking and bottleneck-slide guitar virtuoso, a raw, soulful vocalist, and an insightful songwriter to boot—and quite definitely one of the leading blues artists in
America.
